I gave a try to a food store at new location today. It rocks.

Chivalry is not dead! The gas station attendant helped me fill up my gas can (for yard work) and even loaded it in the van for me. All without asking. And he was patient while I typed on my phone (still can't talk)

Finally finished a crafting project for a coworker that's been in limbo for a long time. I posted a picture in the gallery.

I went out in public for the first time today! And the world didn't end! SQEEEE! 

I joined some girls from my support group at Panera Bread for the first time.  It was only for about 10 minutes, but it felt so good.   I hated leaving and going back to boy mode.

Yay ChiGirl! You have taken some big steps towards freedom!



I am staying with my Mom at the moment and my Pop comes by every Sunday. I was dreading it and got no sleep because while massively supportive he had hardley tried with the pronouns. I never heard him use the right ones and he still uses my full birth name. So instead of running away I had a long heart to heart. He understands more fully now and is ok with me correcting him. Not an hour ago we were all three joking around and he said my old name. Before I could say a thing he corrected himself! Every little thing...every little thing....

I'm happy for SF JELLO that has no carbs, the heat index is 110 where I live & I love my cool jello. On atkins low carb diet, down 26 pounds in the past 3-4 months.

Successfully completed my motorcycle refresher course,rode a bike for the 2nd time in 29 years.

Managed to do my best makeup yet today! Also shaved and not one little cut!

Third day off coffee. It is not needed to keep me awake; was drinking it out of boredom.

I've recently reconnected with an old friend and she's proving to be a very positive, balanced, pragmatic support: neither cynic, nor cheerleader.

Getting a new pair of ear rings and am wearing them now

well today i received a positive reply from farmers insurance, it seems that my  x had them change an accident report to reflect that I was the driver not her, I have been fighting this for  a few  weeks  and getting nowhere so I sent a complaint to the state insurance  office and HRC. Farmers called today to tell me that they have changed them back they said that  they would file the responce to the HRC  and insurance commission. it feels good to have protected myself

Got my FFS bandage off my head to see what my upper face looks like with a smaller nose and flat forehead! My black eyes and bruises are almost completely gone after only 5 days. Face is still swollen, forehead still hurts like hell, but this is truly the first day of the rest of my life.

Making preparations to conduct a deposition inside a prison later this week.  I get to walk through the prison and spend four hours asking questions of a convict.

Well done Big Kim!  I seriously miss being able to ride a motorcycle.

I unpublished my self published memoir today. Now I can take out the fluff and misdirected self loathing that padded out my story of coming to terms with being asexual. I am going to fill that in with more of the gender confusion that I had blocked from my day to day until only recently. It was eating me up having a fully closeted version of my life out there for everyone to read. Writing it helped me separate my sexuality issues from the gender stuff though. It took me a while because I knew it had helped other asexuals feel more normal and I didn't want to take that from them. I finally realized that if I told the whole story I might be able help even more folks.

Now I have a hundred thousand words to comb through! Yay!

Got a letter from my therapist today for starting HRT!  1 more month till my doctors appointment...cant wait!

I drove a sidecar outfit for some years during my 30s and I'm thinking about the possibility of doing that again.
