Hi Everyone,
It's been awhile since I've posted. I've been very busy between work, starting my own little computer repair company, rebuilding and upgrading my computer, playing around with loading a new operating system on my computer, Vista, and just plain old having some fun.
Just to bring everyone up to speed, I've been doing very well and things are going along just fine. I've been continuing to see my therapist on a monthly basis and she is now to the point where she is ready to issue my much needed letter for my SRS, which in itself is very exciting.
My hormone therapy continues to go well and my development continues, though at a little slower rate than when I first started.
I've made the decision that I am going to be coming out in the next two weeks to the last person in my company that doesn't know about me yet, that being the president of the firm. It has now reached a point that it's becoming much too hard to continue to live a double life coupled with an overwhelming desire to be "me" on a full time basis, so has come the time to take this last big step in my road of transition. Monday mornings have become quite depressing with the prospect of having to sink back into "boy mode" for the next five days.
I'm also now in the process of expanding the places I frequent for the purpose of having fun. I'm now going to some regular "straight" night clubs instead of hanging at strictly "TG" friendly places and I'm doing it with some pretty good success. Last night I was ma'maed by the door man and had several gentlemen open doors for me at a local straight club. While I still did garner some prolonged looks from some people, it was more "is that or isn't that a female" or "check out that tall girl" rather than "Wow, look at that guy in a dress."
I've also found a laser center that has new equipment that will work on "platinum" colored facial hair. I went for my first treatment on Friday night and had my face, chest, underarms and arms lasered for hair removal. It's going to be wonderful not have to shave these areas any more!
No new news on the family front. After what has now been a year since coming out to them, they are still not accepting of me and still will not contact me or speak with me. Oh well, so much for family. :-\ I have now accepted the fact that I have no family or never will again. I have learned to survive without them and move on with my life.
Looking forward to attending the big MOM in less than a week and seeing many of my old friends as well as making many new ones and if Kristoff is reading this post, you had better be ready to take me to some of the local haunts and do some partying next weekend my friend!
It's looks very nice on you. I hope the other big guy at work, seems ok with it also. I am just so proud of you for going forward with your change. Keep up the wonderful work. I will be reading your other posts in Portugal come June 24th.
