Well where to Start.
So much has been going on in all areas of my life.
Firstly work and I have agreed to depart by “Mutual agreement”. I can’t legally say much else about that but I am ok with it and the “Mutual agreement” suited us both.
So now in 2 more weeks I become a lady of leisure. I think I will have a 2 week holiday (relaxing at home I think) and then will start looking for another job. Something that will not be too stressful and engaging with people is high on my list.
I have a dream of opening up a coffee shop but maybe something a little different to the normal places.
I am thinking I may go and get a job in one for a few months to learn about coffee and the customers etc. It would also be a fun place to work me thinks. I know the money will be crap but for now it’s all I want really to be honest.
I visited the gender clinic today and that went well. I signed the consent forms for hormones and have requested patches as opposed to tablets.
She will get a letter of to my GP and says it will be with him for Thursday. She will copy me on it as she knows I will be straight on the phone to my GP to get the prescription!!!
So with a bit of luck on Friday or certainly Monday I should have my first patch to put on!!! Yayyyyyyyyyyy.
It seems such a long time ago I started on this journey and I can’t quite believe that I am finally about to start hormones. I can’t wait.
My first credit card has arrived in my new name. I am expecting my new bank details shortly along with my other credit card.
I haven’t heard anything back from the passport office yet, but hope to soon.
My wife had her 40th birthday party on Saturday night. Planning it took up a lot of time and decorating the house and cooking the food took up Friday night and Saturday. As you can imagine Sunday was spent cleaning up!
A great night was had by everyone. The night didn’t finish until 3.00AM and about 12 people stayed over here for the night.
There were about 50 people in total in the evening that came. As some were only just aware of me I decided that to make sure my wife was the centre of attention on her big day and to not cause any focus to come onto me and cause any issues.
It was strange as it was the first time in ages I was in androgynous mode. That said my hair was in girl mode so it felt kind of ok.
My extended family all came and it gave me the chance to talk to them for the first time since they knew. Aunties, uncles and cousins alike were all great. :- )
My children’s friends have all seen me several times now and are completely fine with it. It seems so natural like it has always been like this!
I have also had my interview at the university to start the 3 year degree course. The course starts on the 4th October so I am hoping to get confirmation I am on the course next week.
So I am in a good place right now. For the first time in ages I can see opportunities and not problems!
I even feel like playing my guitar again!!
Much more to say but I have so much to do that most may have to wait until I am a lady of leisure.

Don't look unless your biometrics are gender-normal!

Looking forward to your first music video blog! You still have a long life to look forward to even though it has taken so long to get to this point, you really are on your way now.

Yes, pick up that guitar girl, and get to the woodshed, music puts me in another time.
A lady of leisure? Hmmm.......now that sounds nice! Will it involve long hours of relaxing at the spa, while being manicured, pedicured, waxed, exfoliated and massaged, etc.?
Sorry about the job thing. I had a feeling that wasn't going to work out to your satisfaction. Well, this give you a chance for whole new fresh start. I do hope you can find something you like to do, that will pay the bills.
Thanks for letting me know how to find you again! I missed out on almost two months of posts. I bookmarked your old blog, so now I can go it, whenever you post a notice on your new blog.

Wow, that came as a shock. Whilst I could see it wasn't going well I wasn't expecting that news. I'm sorry it couldn't be worked out.
Good luck in finding something that you enjoy doing. The coffee shop idea shounds nice - but please no Starbucks clone :)
Enjoy your two weeks off,
Stace
Like Stace, I wasn't expecting things to go as they have been you and your (soon to be former) company, but of course we all knew that there were problems. I'm glad you're happy with the outcome. That's really what counts!
So many changes! But again, you say that you are in a good place, and that's very gratifying to hear. You sound much more relaxed. :)
Wanting to play one's guitar is always a good sign!

Wow, it's all happening for you! When I heard about your job I was expecting the worst but I'm pleased to read a positive post. Good luck when you start job-hunting.
