I'm moving closer to a 24/7 normal life. More & more male & female friends feel good about my new life as Francis Ann & fully accept me, they all understand my need to improve my body. My facebook page is so nice. I have lots of new women & some male friends. It is 100% female & feels very normal. I increased my HRT some. My body is definetly changing. Having my body hair waxed away is so nice. It is staying smoother for longer every time. Continuing electrolysis for facial hair. I'm going to visit 2 new plastic surgeons for my face & neck lift plans. I've had 2 quotes but want the best possible surgeon. My garden is growing very well. I love plants & growing veggies.  I spend more & more time with people just as Francis & less time on SP complaining.

So I'm happy to be moving into more of a normal circle with lots of friends as a normal woman, Francis Ann.

I have spent the last three hours crying (basically unheard of on testosterone). It is my birthday and I am so unbelievably grateful that I am alive. Life is a gift. Never, ever forget that.

Happy birthday hugs!  Don't worry men do cry!

You're doing the right thing by her, that's where the rubber meets the road in a real relationship regardless of whether or not it's hot or cold at this time.

We made up Auntie that same evening over the phone at around 11:30 pm. I'm torn between this job opportunity she has In MO. I can see she is too. She wants to stay with me but I can't hold her back Auntie Shan. I told her this is a decision she'll have to make on her own.

Happy Birthday, dude!

Realizing that today marks the one year anniversary of my reconnecting with the Get Along Gang.

Ah, good times.

Just being able to have this day to myself makes me reeeaally happy today. Other things may come up though, it's early yet, lol!

Yes you are right because we can't live other people's lives!

Walking with my dog.

Since I'm going to be moving down south to the Lake Okeechobee area near Pat it might actually be a good idea for her to go there, get to know her cousin she'll be staying with, and save some money then come back to me down there after I've got my home and things settled. Although, she's a good worker and she hustles, she'd have no problem finding a good job down there too. And, I'd be there to watch the baby so she's save daycare costs. The baby's 4 (not really a baby anymore I know) and will start kindergarden soon -next year in fact. I do think it'd be better though for me to make the move alone at first and get things settled before she joins me if that's what she decides to do. We have a couple of weeks yet to decide so we're not pushing things.

I have finally been allowed back into a house I had been banished from today and looking forward to taking my senior pictures tonight. First time in public I have actually passed for male by people who knew me as female.

Last night I went to a small club to see Tony MacAlpine.   He played his entire first album (surprise!) with me no more than 10 feet away.  It was perhaps one of the best guitar lessons ever.  In his band was Nili Brosh, sister of Ethan Brosh whom I have both seen opening for Yngwie Malmsteen.  I met her after the show.  She was completely awesome and IMHO probably the best female guitar player in the world.  Sorry Orianthi.  I love you too... (Seeing her again in July.)

Sounds like you had an excellent time. Before my accident I played drums, keyboards, bass, and some rythim guitar (I was mainly a drummer) and now and then I got into the progressive fusion jazz scene, but mostly I was influenced by Niel Peart as far as the drums. Al demiola (excuse spelling) was another in the fusion jazz scene. I never did anything professional or anything. Mostly just backed up other bands when they needed a drummer, lol! but it all ended somewhat abruptly on February 6th, 1991. I lost a few of my fingers(Including my bird finger, lol!) on my dominant left hand which also got mangled pretty bad among other things. Oh I still tried to play my drums but without my fingers to do my stickwork correctly frustration eventually made me sell all of it. Your post brought back a few memories for me. Glad you had a great time.

Happy Birthday mate. Hugs

I was happy today for: safely celebrating Vaisakhi with people I care about, good food, beautiful weather, getting a project done, and watching some Breaking Bad (no spoilers, I am only on Season One!)

Breaking Bad needs one spoiler.  It's actually worth watching until the end.

On that note- Dear JJ Abrams, I want six years of my life back, even though they sucked mightily otherwise.

What made me happy today was that my wife and I went to a really nice restaurant on a whim.  We both looked really nice (OK, she looked really nice. I did my best.), I wore the cutest maxi skirt ever and we had a bottle of 2004 Dom Perignon under the stars.   Who cares that we're basically living on borrowed cash until July, right?

Breaking Bad? Never watched it. Might have to check it out. It's still dark where I'm at so my day is just beginning. Still, I just got home from giving a good friend a ride home from the hospital, and I'm happy it was only minor injuries from his tangle with a bull.

Breaking Bad has a ton of seasons, Ally.

And I'm very glad they were minor too. I got enough problems without nursing injuries worse than bruises.

Thanks for the info Reaver. When I get over there later today I'll show you what this girl can do regarding that bull, lol!

Spent the last 3 hours investigating an issue at work the client raised.

Spent 2.5 hours meticulously reviewing and fixing the issue thinking it was our fault and trying to figure out what happened.
File was 10,000 lines long.

Then once I had made all the fixes and still unsure how it happened and just about to send an email, I went to the original file and found it was not us but them!

Feel so much better as they were attempting to say it was us without thinking it was self inflicted.
Anyway sent a new file with corrected info including errors they did so feel much better even though I had to work back very late.

Just call me Sherlock.
