....until my surgery........

It's becoming VERY surreal to me now.........

I just confirmed our Hotel room at the Marriott in Miami.....

And we've bought panty liners, feminine pads, Surgilube, stents (dilators.....did ya know that they come in colors?), wipes, anti bacterial soaps, half a dozen new night gowns (snap front type...) crossword puzzle books......and lots of other cool stuff...

We'll rent a car to drive there so we can carry all of our stuff....

Am I scared?

Well, once on a mission in Viet Nam, the pilot asked me if I was scared....

I said "Naw"......

He said "Only a dang fool wouldn't be scared out here!"

So, yeah, I kinda feel an apprehension...

But, We're ready!

You better be stopping at my house on the way down for a drink, or maybe dinner. Mojo misses you very much.

plus, please send me the hotel info so I can make plans to get down there and see you. it's an hour drive so I can come a few times.

Hi Dee Jay,

You know how it is driving in Florida, every mile on a perfectly straight highway, a sign will read, Miami 350 miles, Miami 349 miles, Miami 348 miles and that will seem like it takes 38 days to get there. I think you should get rid of your clocks and concentrate on taking care of yourself.

Be careful and don't forget to get plenty of rest before you go.

Love to you both.

{By the way, if it doesn't work out right for her, I'm CANCELING!]

Hugs!

Dreams do come true when you make them. You worked long and hard and kept your dreams alive even when it got dark and stormy.

I am so happy for you both. I know what it means to you and what it took to get here.

Bet there'll be a ladybug somewhere in that car!

:D

Love

I would not say that they are counting the minutes but our living room wall is now a giant calendar with each day having a block for hours, within that block are minutes and within that block are the seconds - I drew the line at nano seconds!

At first it was fun but after a while watching two women standing facing a wall and making a mark every second can actually become tedious.

They are actually handling all of this pretty well - I'll let you know what happens when it gets down to under 6 days, 5 hours, 38 minutes and 17 seconds.

Just for fun I might reset the calendar!

Love ya,

Sally

It was when I purchased my feminine hygiene poducts that this became real to me.

You have to buy your own dilators? Huh.

All I can say with 11 days remaining is find distractions where you can. This waiting occupies the mind something fierce...

With all that time on your hands, you have a bathroom, sink, and tub to clean, and a front room carpet and two chairs that need shampooing!! Its something to fill in that time and keep your from worrying. Oh yeah, the turkey roaster that has been sitting in the oven since Christmas could use a hauling out too!! :P

Lizzy read this and decided that something needed to be done about our couch and chair - they are both leather so she is heading to Texas to get a fresh supply of cowhide - direct from the source.

Love ya,

Sally

      Good morning coffees   This probably doesn’t exactly apply to me because you wouldn’t have found a more shy and conservative person than me.  I was perhaps less shy before my sister started complaining about me doing things that were hers to do. And I would become embarrassed and that was the end of that.   upstairs unit got their typical weekend visitors in the middle of the night last night.  They woke me up.  They have little consideration for being in a condo community and the neighbors being in such close proximity.   @awkward-yet-sweet , how goes the job with your husband’s boss?  I don’t recall you saying much about it this week, but I could have missed a post along the way.  If I recall you were supposed to meet with him last Monday.   @KymmieL I hope you are feeling better.     Yes, I find it to be wrong that just because a car part says Ford or Chevrolet on the box that same part with Lincoln or Cadillac on the box cost a lot.more.  I know there are differences in the upscale brands such as the engine and drivetrain in the Caddy and of course the interior fit and finish.  But it’s the same body with things crammed in the same way under the hood.     well, time to finish my coffee, fix my hair and made my way across the street to work.    willow

      I read about her this morning. What a shame! She was beautiful and it seems she had a strong support system in place and could have had a wonderful life all to have it end like this. Such a waste. I truly hope the monster that killed her gets everything he deserves.
    • Susan R
      They’re not going to stop anytime soon either. Tighten your belts folks were in for a long ride.

      I am so glad you enjoy them as well. The help things “stay put” so well. It got me through some of my most dysphoric times.   Wow, I hadn’t heard this at last week’s Zoom meeting if you had mentioned it. That is a huge milestone April Marie.I have no doubt that this confidence will only grow in time. The freedom of being yourself, especially in public, is a wonderful feeling. I am truly happy for you.😘   *Big Congratulatory Hug* Susan R🌷

      @Abigail Genevieve, that is not an appropriate question, IMO.  This isn't the Army/McCarthy hearings.   Carolyn Marie

      Don't think Americans would go for the "compulsory" part. We kind of like not being told what to do ... Amazingly, there is great pushback on voter ID laws. The opponents say it discourages voting, especially among the poor and minorities. That is really a smokescreen IMO for those who want to harvest ballots from as many places as possible, including folks who don't exist or don't hold citizenship...

      Pretty soon I think I might be ready to talk about gender-affirming care for kids, possibly w/r/t the Cass Review and its shortcomings.
    • KayC
      She was a beautiful young woman ...   "What we do know is that the offender was a very violent individual and should not have been on our streets.”  Whether gender related or not, the mental health and incarceration issues in our country are incredibly bad and need to be addressed.

      April,   I'm glad my entries are interesting to you.  TransCentralPA is a great organization with so many caring people.  I would strongly recommend you find a way to attend the Keystone Conference.  I guarantee you'll find it an amazing experience.     Hugs,   Sally

      Dear @Sally Stone.  I think you should author a memoir based on these posts (maybe you're already working towards that?).  You could decide at a later time if/when you might want to publish.   I appreciate you sharing your deep connection with your friend Willa (and I am sorry for your loss) and the benefit of having a Trans friend and mentor in our Life and Journey.  I was fortunate to have found one also in our TGP friend @Kasumi63.   As you know we share many common Life themes in our stories.  Drop me a PM if you'd like to chat about it.  Looking forward to the next 'chapter'.

      Voting is compulsory here, for better or worse. Would doing the same in the US snap people out of their apathy?
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I am noting you use CRT terminology.  The comment is not out of the blue.  Some of your remarks on religion suggest atheism.  So it is believable that you are a Marxist, knowingly or not.  Are you?
