Life at the moment seems to be marked by comings and goings. It is now only 40 days until I head off to Belgium for facial cosmetic surgery and begin to live full time as a woman.
Going are the male facets of my life. It is the little things like the fact that I haven't bought any new socks in a year and they wear out, so my stock is getting smaller all the time. More crucially, my male shoes are fast wearing out. I just hope they last the remaining 40 days. My wallet got beyond the pale a short while ago and I am too mean to buy a new one for 40 days (there is plenty else to spend my money on at the moment....) so my purse is now in use. Most folks at work know what is coming, so that has not caused comment but there are some practical difficulties like the fact that it does not fit into my suit pocket, and I have to remember where I am carrying it. The temptation to carry my handbag now is very great....
On the female front it is just wonderful (and wonderfully comfortable) to have pierced ears and I have a small and carefully chosen (but growing!) selection of earings. The tyranny of clip earings is now over - hooray. I do love jewellery
My hair is doing REALLY well, so there will be no need to bother with wigs from July on (hooray again) and I have offered my four expensive wigs for sale (at a vast reduction on their cost) on a social networking site for transgendered folk in the hope that they can find a good home. (I know, it does rather sound like disposing of a well-loved pet.)
There are still plenty of difficulties ahead but I am now SO HAPPY it isnt true. Life is jsut great, great, great.
