Let’s rewind to Thursday.
The Fairfield County Transmasculine Society meeting was great! There were 5 of us in attendance. This time, all FtMs of different stages of transition which was a really cool experience.
The weekend was fun as usual. Tina’s friend from HS, Bobbie came up with her daughter and then she and Tina went to an informal HS reunion. While they were there, I went to B and P’s house for some shish kabobs and beer and good company.
Sunday was our impromptu beach BBQ at Seaside Park in Bpt. We had a blast! Everyone brought something to share and I manned the BBQ. I also got sunburn (again). I think about 20 people came out.
Tuesday was eventful. I had my Endocrinologist appointment at 9 AM. I like the Dr. and am confident that he knows his shit. He wanted me to get lots of labs done because of my high blood pressure. He also thought that my HBP could be linked to my kidneys, so he had me schedule a renal/kidney ultrasound.
I left his office a little after 10, I called to schedule the ultrasound – for 3 PM. I was told that I couldn’t eat or drink anything. I hadn’t eaten or had anything to drink because I knew I’d be having blood drawn.
Then went directly to get my blood drawn and pee in a cup. They drained me. 5 vials! 5!!! I was so in need of a snack, and feeling weak but I went back to work and toughed it out till my appt.
That took until 4:45 and it was really uncomfortable. They really jammed that wand into my ribs.
I went to McDs and grabbed a meal… grilled chicken BLT, fries and a diet coke and headed to New Haven for my 5:30 therapy appointment.
I really like my therapist alot. She’s so easy to talk to and calm. She also smiles alot which makes me feel comfortable… I like happy people. lol.
Yesterday I wrote the letters to my father, and my half siblings and dropped them in the mail on my way home from work. I am done coming out to my family and friends and the only place I need to come out is at work to my staff. My co-workers, Manager, Director and HR already know and are awesome.
When I got home, there was a package for me with an adult toy to review, so look forward to that in the near future!

I am so amazed you have come so far so fast. Were you shaking a little on the letter drop? You are a constant source of inspiration for me.
