About 6 months ago. I will be the first to admit that my transition has not gone the way that I expected it to. My whole life has been spent picturing people chasing me down with torches and pitchforks. I know that would never happen, but as well I am the type that is afraid of a shark biting me when I jump in my pool. I know that it isn’t real, and I know it is not ever going…
There is nothing special about this outfit. In fact when I wore it I actually had some deodorant spots on it that I hadn’t even noticed before leaving the house. But I have been more than a bit busy lately, as you may have heard. I didn’t even really want to leave the house, but being as we were just about out of toilet paper, it was a necessity. I showered after my brief bit of yard work in the…
Recently I was questioned by a dear friend as to why it appears as though I have discontinued my blogging. My response – mental fortitude. Shall we take a moment and look at the definition of that phrase? mental and emotional strength in facing difficulty, adversity, danger, or temptation courageously: Never once did her fortitude waver during that long illness. So, um, yeah, that is what has been going on with me. I like the part of that definition that adds the word…
Sitting in the front office getting my chin numbed. It is with grave misfortune that I neglected to heed the advice of those who have come before me in regards to electrolysis. That advice was to start now! And I will repeat it, if you are contemplating the possibility of one day doing this to yourself, stop thinking about it, and just go do it! Seriously! My issue? My issue is that I didn’t ever really think that I would…
I really had no idea. If I would have known, I would have gone this route long ago. How different life would be is unimaginable. It’s sad, actually. I know, I shouldn’t feel bad for things that have happened, for it was only those things that brought me to the path I’m on. Who knows what would have been now, if that had not ever been then. At least it happened eventually. Oh, I’m sorry, I’m waxing on dramatically without…
Standing next to my truck I realized what had occurred, I just locked my keys inside. It was truly an unreal moment and I stood there for a bit absolutely dumbstruck. This couldn’t really be happening could it? Yes, yes it could, and it was. I tried pushing some random numbers into my key-less entry system as I never actually bothered to memorize the actual combination. I knew it was a five digit code, but that was about it. Proving…
It was with a weird disconnected calm that I heard my wife describe the horror I had been dreading since 2010. A student came up to her and described how all of the students were talking about that I had been discovered online. They apparently found my Facebook page which led them here to this little ol blog of mine. At one point in my life this would have been awesomely devastating for the two of us, at least mentally. …
