Distraction Time!

June 22, 2017

Right now, I am not supposed to be writing a blog post, I am supposed to be working on my therapy!  But I seem to be side stepping it, oh my!  My therapist has sent me home with a transgender questionnaire/survey.  She told me that many people prefer to have some time to ponder over the questions instead of just having them thrown at them point blank in a session.  I really appreciate the opportunity to think about things, but…

Bikinis & Fishing

June 18, 2017

Coolibar Running Hoodie – Similar Can’t you see my bikini?  No, I guess you can’t.  Though Jules did tell me that it was quite visible underneath my sun blocking shirt.  Maybe it had to be in the sun.  Hmm… What you are looking at is the super nice trout that I caught while camping on the Kern River this past week.  Isn’t it beautiful?  It was a super fun fish to catch that I was super surprised about.  The river…

Medical Info – Maybe TMI

June 8, 2017

Disclaimer – I am about to discuss some issue that some may find inappropriate, and I certainly see as pretty personal.  But I have received some questions, so I thought maybe you might want some answers! A couple of people have expressed concern that I appear more concerned about transition related medication than I do the health of my prostate.  Can I take a moment to clear up that misconception? Here is the full story, okay?  For years I have…

A Concerning Flaw

May 31, 2017

Some of you may know that I am currently on a clothes shopping diet.  This idea was born of wanting to offer my wife some sort of solidarity with her choice to be on a food diet.  The idea, that I came up with, is that I would refrain from clothes shopping while she is food dieting. For the most part things are going quite well.  I am finding lots of good clothes combinations that I had not considered before.…

My Letter to a Counselor & Friday Kittens

May 19, 2017

I had an interesting day yesterday that I thought I would share a bit about before I presented most of my kitten photos.  Let’s start with, do you know that I have never seen a counselor regarding my gender issues?  Yup, never have.  Never felt a need to actually.  But never mind that now right?  Anywho….. I am in kind of an interesting situation in that I am wanting to begin to speak to someone but the nearest person to…

A Shopping Diet

February 2, 2017

Recently I was up near my favorite outlet mall, Livermore CA outlets.  I think the real name is something like San Francisco Premium Outlets, or some such thing.  Anywho….. I didn’t have much in mind that I wanted to shop for, except for a relaxing time at the mall.  And I did relax, but I also found way too many cute items that apparently I just had to have. Low is me.  How could it be possible that I have…

The Adjacent Possible

January 27, 2017

I have been gathering some ideas to do a write up on how to shop successfully at outlet malls while being transgender.  Though the snarky part of me keeps saying, that’ll be a short article; to shop successfully you need to just do it!  There ya go!  Short, simple, sweet, and to the point!  But then, I do understand that I do have a bit of flair in shopping well.  There might just be some tips I could offer to…
