Hello again Katie
I always read your updates and as I was on holiday (got home Wednesday 26th at 11.00pm), I had much to read and be happy about. Glad your bathroom and baking went well.
I also read the UK Meet Up thread and the event seems to have been a real success and a good time and a learning time seems to have been enjoyed judging from the comments. I note Kendra travelled all the way from Washington State in US to Birmingham UK and back - that was truly considerate of her. It is always uplifting to meet like minded
people including those further on in their transgender journey and I know how beneficial that is.
Very importantly it is so wonderful to see you are so upbeat enthusiastic and motivated and I feel you are now able to clear any unforeseen obstacles.
Sending you love and happiness and hugs
Pamela xx
Aww Pamela, such a lovely catch up message, thank you, we should meet sometime I think.
Yes, Hidden talents emerging it seems, and just getting out in the fresh air as me is so inspiring, as were all the girls on Saturday. First timers (I'm not much more than that really) to those girls that have bags of confidence, including of course Nikki, Emma and Kendra, such lovely people, I could hug them forever they were so really nice and very inspiring.
So today, went on Motorcycle (new helmet), to parents in semi boy mode, rings and necklace on, as well as underwear and cami-top, but covered up for dads sake.
Lovely welcome, no comments on my higher pitch voice. They loved my cake (Vic sponge with blueberries as I had used up all my Strawberries on the Macmillan cake event at work).
I showed mum the avatar pic that I currently have (note if you are reading this in the future then I may have changed that), and she thought I looked a completely different person (Duh..), and was quite pretty and shared a lot of my looks with my Niece (Lawyer in Manchester - Grad last year from one of my old Unis, MMU, with a 1st in Law stuff..)
And apart from 30 years, 12 " in height, flawless complexion, cute nose long blond full head of hair etc etc etc, I agreed...
Big hugz all round and a couple of cups of tea, fixed Mums desktop and laptop computers (SW/FW issues), talked a bit about me and my progress, even highlighted that my chest was growing and ached a lot, that my face has changed a lot and that they made me almost cry twice (watering eyes syndrome - still cant get those emo's under any sort of control). They noted several times that I look and am so very happy at the moment. That's not surprising but its good to see their child is happy and so content for a change.
I did say that I am talking to HR (or personnel as Mum calls it..) about going full time as Kate/Katie some time around Xmas, not certain if they understood the implications of that, and that my AMAB name would rest eternally.
Anyway, found that Dad was going to bin a 1985 Nintendo game player with a game in it,, Wow I said, don't do that it may be worth something. Its a grey block about 6"x8"x2" with a corner 1"x1"x6" that lifts up to expose the game cartridge that slots in diagonally. Never seen one before this myself but had a game in it as well, Maybe I put a pic up sometime.
Anyhow left and took a tour - Bike was sooooo good, so I went towards Buxton then down the Via Gellia road to Cromford, and through Matlock Bath, loads of looks - maybe as my old boy leathers were being pushed by my girls... Well I like to think so anyway.
So chilling tonight, a glass or two of red and Also Im washing my boy work clothes as well as soaking my hair piece - its the same as the one at last weeks events but very highlighted, blond a bit of red and dark brown and black streaks - looks cool but very false I think. Still I love it.
That's it from me for tonight.
Loving you all so much..
Luv n Hugz
Katie
