A two hour walk in nice, cold weather on a relatively quiet night and I replaced my copy of JtHM. It's been a good evening.

Horrible, horrible week at work with so many problems and issues.
Very difficult but worked through them to fix most of them.
Came up with solutions that worked and client happy.

Babies growing strongly and bouncing all the time and hard to hide.
Gaffer tape them down Stapels?

I have a further visit with the pain monster tomorrow

Well the weekends here now and I can stop thinking about work and enjoy being me.

I found a shiny new loonie on the ground. That feels super lucky.

Actually yesterday, a friend gave me a ride to get my bike repaired and to get some groceries    I thought that was pretty cool

Just as I'd thought, the rear axle was broken so we dropped the wheel off, went to the store and the wheel was ready when we got back    Everything timed out really well and the repair only cost me $20

New shoes? A sure sign that you're all girl Gracie.....Sweet!

Oh! I see how this is! Just because I only own one pair of sneakers, I'm not a girl?!

Well...Well....

Not having anything to shave for the first time in 30 years. 
Nailing "The Wind Cries Mary" on a Stratocaster that's older than I am. 
Knowing I'm getting a gel manicure later, then I get to make my famous tacos and margaritas.
It's Friday!

It's the wrong Friday for me, that's next Friday when I should be happy. Hopefully.
Nonetheless my dad is due to arrive in about three hours. Good, because I won't have to spend any money on anything I need for the weekend. Going to stock up on necessities at his expense since all the money I have right now is to be allotted to hormones and if I have anything left then to clothes.

I think it'd be awkward shopping for clothes with him, but I don't think he'd give me the money to go buy them on my own.

The VA asked me if they could use me as a kind of poster girl for transition. They said that I am "the ideal outcome to transition".

Wow, that seems like a nice compliment! I do have to wonder how one decides the "ideal" outcome, especially if they are cis, but hey, don't look a gift horse in the mouth right?

They said it is because I pass completely, have blended seamlessly into society, and I am happier than I have ever been. I don't think it hurts that I have done a bit of modelling recently either.

Well by my personal definition of successful transition that's about as good as it gets. Congrats.

From the second album I ever purchased: "Are You Experienced?"



Great track

Purple Haze, Foxy Lady, Hey Joe, and The Wind Cries Mary got lots of play.

Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch.

Visit to the pain monster is done for the time being.

I started work on another fic in the original series. This one should be pretty interesting.

Got my hair cut today.

Leaving for an LGBT lawyers gala where Kristin Beck is speaking.

Been kicking butt on Pro Mode of RE5. Only one chapter left. It is a toughie but I think I can do it and then I'll have achieved one of the hardest achivements in the game.
