The Cold Day

Today was one of those cold days where I had appointments booked all morning and wanted to cry knowing I had to leave the house. Nonetheless, I managed to get up and go for a blading session around the lake to wake me up. To say the least it was freezing. But because it’s officially [...]

La Vie En Rose

The other night I had the pleasure to watch the amazing film La Vie En Rose. It’s about the life of  legendary French chanteuse Edith Piaf. It’s one of those movies that I doubt sparks much interest in people even though it won a Best Actress award for it’s leading lady Marion Cotillard. It’s the [...]

Endeavors

The morning of my assessment in Toronto I found myself unusually calm. I was getting ready after a hot bath, and decided to take a picture to remind myself I am down 20 lbs and looking quite good. We stayed at a very nice Holiday Inn, met up with a dear friend of mine the [...]

SRS Assessment: Take 2

I had an appointment in Toronto yesterday with CAMH (Centre for Addictions and Mental Health) for my second SRS assessment. I wasn’t really looking forward to it.

Its been a two step process. No one said beauty wasn’t uncomfortable. Womanhood is very interesting. The list of things [...]

To Health

I am happy to report my little kitty is finally feeling better. She has been on antibiotics for a week. She has two days left, but thankfully she won’t have to go back to the vet anytime soon. Even the nice places try to gouge you in the end. The main thing is my cat [...]

Step 2: Acai Berries

Today I decided to tackle my diet in a different way.
I bought some of the Acai Berry Detox capsules. But I am consulting a doctor tomorrow before I begin to take them. I think it’s a smart idea. I am still dieting (for the most part), and exercising twice a day. But I need a [...]

For ‘Inquiring’ Minds

This weekend was very productive. I spent most of it with my trans girlfriend. On Friday she drove me to meet my new therapist. He’s a very colorful Englishman. I am really going to enjoy working with him. It helps hes an actual licenced psychiatrist instead of just a councillor like the last person I [...]
