The Seasons End

I am thankful we still have a few nice days left before the real cold sets in for the rest of the year. I am going to have to join a local gym to keep up my cardio workouts this winter. I’m so going to miss being able to blade early in the morning to [...]

Bad Service

Today I had the pleasure of having my lunch paid for by the staff at Swiss Chalet. Originally that wasn’t supposed to be the case. But after repeatedly bad service by a server with a chip on his shoulder I complained to the manager, and had my lunch on the restaurant. It wasn’t necessary really, [...]

The Proud Man

Star Wars was all the rage in 1977. I was obsessed with the toys despite not having seen the film until years later on TV at a neighbors house. When those huge spaceships came onto the screen blasting away at each other in the opening sequence my mouth fell open. It was the most exciting [...]

Adrienne Rising

Yesterday was a good day. I got a lot accomplished. First I bladed around Dow’s Lake in the morning, then had my blood work done (which always includes and AIDS test) for my upcoming hormone therapy appointment, made some important calls, did some work at the office, bought some sandals, and had my first electrolysis [...]

Needles & Obsessions

Tomorrow I am beginning my electrolysis (needle) sessions now that I am finished with laser treatments. I am excited to be almost finished with facial hair removal. My God is it ever a long process. I feel bad for anyone not committed to getting it over with as soon as possible. It felt amazing to [...]

The Weighting

I have decided to weigh myself on Tuesday this week because I did a bit of indulging over the weekend which threw my diet off. Despite having exercised, and dieted par usual I enjoyed some light beer and nachos with a couple girlfriends last evening. My weight this morning was thrown off because of it. [...]

Sense Of Appeal

One thing I will never understand about people is their need to be competitive. I have a friend who celebrated her anniversary yesterday and had invited me over to spend time with her after her husband went to work. Knowing she wanted to drink beforehand, I exercised twice yesterday and ate half of my normal [...]

Thank You

Just a quick thank you note to a trans friend of mine.
I normally don’t read her blog, but I decided on a whim today to see what she’s been writing about. I am flattered by her positive comments about all the advice I have been giving her. Transitioning is hard enough alone. Its nice to [...]
