Haven't checked in for a while, but thought I'd post a little update.
Been living in Michigan for the last two months and JoAnn has been working on splitting up our property in California. She was up here for two weeks and cleared out all her stuff and left 5 boxes for me to haul back to California for her.
She also started the process of refinancing our home in CA so she will be the sole owner, and I'm doing the same thing here in Michigan. It's not an even split, but I want out and she want to eliminate any ties to my stuff. We're doing this in a very peaceful way, and without damaging each others financial ability, so I guess we both are happy in most ways.
I'm clearing out the house I've lived in for several years during the summers, and last winter. It's a bit sad seeing the empty rooms and packed boxes stacked in corners, but it's time to move into a house that suits my disturbed situation. Oh, it's not depressing, just difficult to think about.
Been on HRT for a bit over two years, although three months of that was self-medicating (excuse the acknowledgement of my indiscretion). I feel wonderful, and my body keeps improving even if a little extra fat has accumulated. Weekly injections are doing well and it's surprising how a little increase in my dose made such a change in breasts, hair and face. Hope this continues for at least a year more or so. No schedule on surgery until November when I see Dr. Meltzer.
Here's a recent pic. Not too clear, but then you probably wouldn't want a good one.


Take care girls. I'll stop in again in a few months.
