Metamorphosis II

It seems like almost a lifetime ago when I wrote a poem to a dear friend

But in reality it was just over three years and that friendship did not end

When Lizzy had started her HRT and I was still struggling against my fears

I saw her going forward leaving me behind afraid and alone with my tears

As I fought my inner demons trying for approval from all those who would not understand

The greatest gift that anyone could give waiting for me the warmth of an outstretched hand

When I found myself with my first pill in my hand sitting so all alone

I had the good fortune of a timely call from Miss Lizzy on my phone

My true friend had not flown away she had but moved ahead

Circling above not abandoning but rather guiding me instead

This episode has been repeated from time to time as we might be discouraged

Whether Lizzy or myself helping each other when what we needed was courage

And now with Donna Jean we get to help to the power of three

When the fates threaten together we can withstand and be free

The New Orleans Belles facing the world together and never alone

So what could possibly threaten to change this lovely happy home

Three tiny little letters SRS that into my very soul seem to burn

It lies ahead for my friends and something for which I still yearn

The fear that somehow things will change between we three

This time I have to realize not to underestimate them or me

Our friendship has lasted through our leapfrogging transitions

As each has taken a step ahead or stalled reversing positions

The love and caring shared by we three makes this change less scary

When they return from the surgery all we share will keep us merry

Sisters still with friendships beyond all bounds

Living in the home that only love surrounds

Love ya,

Sally

      No one seemed to pay attention to me other than a young woman who complimented me on my skirt and an older gentleman who smiled at me as we passed each other.

      Wow, I guess it’s the dat to be in trouble.  I’ve been hit twice by the ASM today and it’s my day off.  Why didn’t you, followed latter with a where is the.  Made me realize that I do t want to continue working long enough to pay for it. I guess I’ll just to have to stick with my 20 year old car for now.   I suppose sooner or later only one of us won’t be able to drive anymore.  Since I am older you might think it would be me but at this time i am the one that does all the driving except when she goes to church or the store when I’m at work.  She hasn’t driven anywhere since February and hasn’t driven more than 10 miles in perhaps a year.  Yet the “good” car was purchased for her not for me because she couldn’t drive the Jeep which we bought strictly for her because she wanted it.  But it turned out I was the one that really liked it.  Can’t win.

      I have been told that I "pass" better than I realize. I hope that is true.

      Good morning :)   I have coffee today, but the cup keeps leaking (I guess the cap isn't able to fully seal or something), so I keep having to wipe up the sides lol   Almost finished all my missing work for school, which means if I do a bit more work, I should be out of trouble with my parents (not even that bad of trouble compared to when I was younger, more just an annoyance haha)

      Sending good thoughts for you, Raine.

      Good morning 😘   Finished packing up my kitchen and pantry for fumigation today. I also modified my backpack to make it day-centre compliant.  I was able to get almost 2 hrs sleep last night, so I'll survive. 😑

      I'll be going to some Pride events as a spectator.  Maybe marching in a parade if they have open participation.    The event we'd prefer to go to is held in a small town with a population of less than 600.  They have a parade through all three blocks of their downtown area.  Unfortunately, this year it is on the same day as a memorial service for a friend who passed away this winter, so we'll have to miss it.  So our second choice is a larger town, population about 9000, a bit farther away.    And we are keeping our eyes open for other events in the general area as they are announced.   I dress a bit flashier than normal, with some trans bling, such as rainbow or trans flag earrings, a trans symbol pendant, and a handheld trans flag to wave.  Political sentiment is turning against us, but public sentiment here is still strongly on our side, so getting out and showing the flag, both literally and figuratively, is important.

      I had that going on with my last two partners who were 20 years older than me.  One of them looked older for her age as well.  I remember a couple times being in the grocery store a decade ago and having people ask "can I help you ladies with something?" and then I'd turn around with my red beard.  Well before I started transitioning, but my partner knew I was trans back then.   I struggle with this as well.  My music and political career can have a masculine edge to it that I don't like.  It's been really frustrating lately.  I don't like pushing myself on others or telling people what to do.  I've been running a website for 25 years and have virtually never tried to promote it or even look at any analytics.  I don't want to push it on anyone.  I put what I have on it and make it publicly available.  It's part of my production process.  It keeps me sane and if someone else can find it useful, then I'm happy to share.
