A Transgurl Holiday Special - 12/14/06 01:12 PM

Just figured I'd write about how well I'm doing in spite of the last entry, which has gotten a lot of private response. Although I'm unemployed during the holidays, and tend to moan here sometimes, I'm way happier and more at ease than I have ever been at this point.

Lately, my situation is straightening out again quickly! I should get my right to drive in Wisconsin back very soon (if I don't have it already), and I'll be off probation a year early sometime before the middle of January. Also, my physical appearance is really coming together through hormones, exercise, and diet (we also switched to Slim-Fast), and I'm getting a lot of attention from guys these days. (Tee-hee!) I'll have a new picture ID this Monday.

And I just love my new dress.

We'll be going home to West Virginia for Christmas over a week and a half, here soon. This has been the first holiday season I didn't hate (at least that I wasn't incarcerated over for the better part), and going home to give and get a real sense of finality and acceptance of my transition during such a happy time is (hopefully) going to be amazing.

So, yeah, I feel like some kind of reformed Grinch/Scrooge-type motherfucker. Outdoor lights and other decorations have long ceased to make me ill.

You know, I never bought it before, but it really is a wonderful life. Before this gets too mushy and misty, happy holidays, folks. =)
