Oh well, you win some and you loose some

My transition is going so well. So well that I'm a little nervous that it is just a dream and that my whole world may come crashing around my ears. Of course there have been a few problems along the way, but nothing too serious.

Just as an update; Since August 8th, 2005 I have been full time and out to everyone. Therapy continues, as does HRT, and I am now seeing a new Doctor. On Halloween friends invited us to a Halloween Dance which was a hoot. I was thinking of going dressed as a man ha, ha, but decided against that. We had a great time even though I couldn't get up the courage to dance, maybe next time. Upcoming events for me include touching base with the voice therapy clinic at KGH, and then my appointment with my new endo in March 2006 (Yep it's off in the future). More significantly, both of which are firsts for Stephanie, I have a School Bus Safety Awareness class to teach to approximately 100 kindergarten and grade 1 children on November 10th, and then it's off to a Chris Deburgh concert on November 12th with our friends. Yep I'm a little nervous...

Work couldn't be better and I'm off on another course in December. No rest for the wicked as they say. Life at home has been very good, however I have yet to get a reply to the letter I mailed to mom over three weeks ago. Oh well, you win some and you loose some.

I spent the morning in town shopping and wandering around. It was a wonderful day given that it is November. The air was fresh and clean and the weather was glorious. Remembrance Day is approaching and I noticed that the vets are out in force selling poppies to raise money for the various institutions they represent. I have several now as I can't resist buying, we owe them so much.

I was thinking that I really don't have that many friends compared to some who I know. I have three people who I would call close friends and that is about it. If my partner and I ever split up I would have no one to turn to, not even family, kind of sad really, and I've been thinking about it a lot lately. Got to get that thought out of my mind.
