I'm so easily worried!

Had a phone call from the doctor's office yesterday morning, "Are you available this afternoon? The doctors wants to talk to you about your recent blood test" This, to my mind is not a good thing to say on the phone, immediately I was thinking, "Oh my gosh, what wrong, what has shown up in the test?" Of course I said I was available, who wouldn't, and so I spent the next 3 hours or so worrying and fretting about what my doctor would be telling me. Eventually he called and told me that the e

When I awake

Each day when i first wake up I am at peace with myself. I haven't yet been bombarded with the days' pressures... such as my health issues, worries about my weight, job issues and pressures, etc. I smile and think about how I am going to express my feminine side today. Am i going to share some part of it with the world or am i going to keep it all to myself yet again. Well, today was a me day. I even ignored my ringing phone. I did some online shopping and bought more that i should have...

Like the layers or petals of a flower around a center.

I gotta go out and arrest bad guys today... talk about putting on another mask. Or perhaps not a mask but just another layer. It's funny what we use as force fields to protect ourselves. Peace my friends!

Char's first blog entry.

LOL, I had to look up in the dictionary how to spell OCCASIONAL. I've been living in the past lately, so I posted some photos to my gallery. They were taken back in 1999 when I almost accepted my real self. I even had the help of a special GG back then... she did my face and took the pictures for me.

3rd appointment at the Gender Clinic

Just got back from my 3rd appointment at the Charing Cross gender clinic. The appointment was originally for 3:30pm but got re-scheduled for 9:15am two weeks ago. I duly got up at 5:45am and made myself ready to go out, arriving at the clinic 9:05am, I hate being late Usual booking in process, address, current contact number etc. then I sat down to wait for the doctor. 9:30 - nothing 9:40 - still nothing - checked with the receptionist, Oh he must be running late, we haven't heard from h

New Year, New Beginnings

So this year in my overall personal plan. I have stated I will get the Legal work of my name change going around my birthday in July. But one month in and I'm already changing my name where I can "without malice" do so. At work they have begun calling me Brittany around the end of last year and its really starting to stick. And while I enjoy the fact I am fully accepted by the staff there I still need to seek further employment for funding reasons. Thus I began to seek new employment. For about

a kind of Domino effect

Well my pre-surgery consult is tomorrow, I'm excited. Also, it's kinda cool I found out that my legal name change went through, I was tired waiting and called to check on the status today. The very nice lady told me that my certificate was mailed to me last week and should arrive any day now. So now I can get my name changed on my Driver’s license, my endocrinologist has already written my letter for the gender marker to be changed on my D.L. at the same time. It’s close enough to my surgery tha

His Needs v. Hers v. Mine

I knew what I needed to share with you today. That's part of myself. You need to know why I'm exposing this now and not before. That was/is him. You need to know what I'm trying to deal with besides my body. That's about her. Three sets of needs and needs are more than wants, more than desires, more than wishes. Needs are needs and some needs are nearly universal. Because those are, we humans have empathy. Because we have empathy, those needs have been recognized as applying to each of

Families

Yesterday (10th Feb) was the funeral of my girlfriends mother. The service was lovely with a lot of love being expressed for her mother. The reception (wake) was held at a local pub where many who knew her came and talked about her life, how she was a substitute mother for many and an emotional rock for her friends. However overnight, after much alcohol was drunken by my girlfriends brother and his rough friends, accusations were made that my girlfriend didn't care about her mother, that she w

12 weeks and loving it

Today marks the 1st day of the 13th week on hormones - today my estrogen goes up from 2mg to 4mg per day and I'm so looking forward to the effects accelerating. Yesterday I tried on my swimsuit without any breast-forms - and my girlfriend said that I would pass for female - the growth there meant that I looked like a small chested woman, my waist is narrowing, my hips are definitely filling, my skin is getting softer and more translucent and my bottom is rounding. All this on 2mg per day - WOW!

70+sleeps to GRS

I should be working but can’t seem to focus, my mind is elsewhere. There’s some 70 + sleeps left till’ my GRS. I can think of nothing else this morning. I wonder to myself; Will my new vagina look nice?(lil' vain I know), I’ve seen many turn out very natural looking n’ pretty while others not so much … will mine work properly n’ orgasms be achievable?, I’ve read several accounts were much of the sensation was lost by 6months post-op (that’s a bit scary) … I am happily married to a woman so is de

Finding my Direction

Here is an update on what's been happenning in my life thus far...Now that I am fast recovering from that awful virus I had, I had an appointment to attended a lung and chest clinic last week where I was diagnosed as having stage 2 COPD, This has had an effect on me more than I thought it would in so much as re-evaluating my transition. At the moment my head is just so full of doubt and thoughts about whether it is worth transitioning in the light of this information. I am at this time no n

Exits and entrances

Two days before Christmas 2010 my girlfriend's mother got bad news from the hospital, she had advanced primary pancreatic cancer and numerous secondary cancers. The prognosis was terminal and the level and number of cancers meant that there would be no effective treatment. I helped make Christmas as good as it could for the family, helping with the cooking and generally trying to keep things on an even keel. We all knew that the cancer was aggressive but I don't think anybody was really ready

A Bad Week

Hello Its been a few weeks since I updated my blog, so sorry to anyone who is following my progress. I am now on my diet as I want to lose a stone in weight, LOL my ever increasing waistline means my skirts and dresses are getting a tad tight!!!!! So I have started lowering my intake of sugar, fatty breakfasts which were virtually routine in my job, LOL although a full english once a week wont hurt (Will it???) Trouble is when I am out on the road each day on long journeys I tend to get pe

living, breathing, surviving

So another month down of hormones and the changes haven't been physical but definately mental. Maybe its a lot of stuff going on with me lately or the stress of whats to come, but I've been a mix of sad, angry, annoyed, depressed, flighty, and rediculously hyper. It could just be the fact that my living situation (or lack there of) is really starting to bother me, or the fact that every other week it seems like I have my brother sending me an email basically saying how I'm an aweful person and

Quiet week

Well its been a quiet week work wise, I had a chance to catch up on some paperwork albeit in cyber space, I have been working on a new TG Venture/magazine, getting information ready to apply to the online magazine. Looked around the shops for an hour, trouble is when one is self employed one has to watch the pennies in these early days, so spending in the shops is limited to once a month maybe, I have a meeting with my GP tomorrow for my monthly check up, make sure all is as it should be with my

Here is a poem I wrote about myself many years ago .....

Here is a poem I wrote about myself many years ago ..... A woman of substance a girl it would seem, A lady of class and a child with a dream. All of these things in my life are my own, I will give them to you, should you ever come home. I look into your eyes and see a rainbow coloured sun, In silent thoughts her mind meets mine and we two become as one. You lay your head up on my chest and not a word is spoke, I sigh in deep contentment, 'twas then that I awoke'. The empty place b

New Start

Hello well here is my life thus far... I have taken steps to tell all close family members about my ongoing transition, this was a huge task as I didnt know what to expect once I had started telling everyone, first I told my brother and his future wife last month, in fact I told them 3 weeks before they were due to marry and to my complete surprise they are so supportive, LOL my brother took the micheal a bit but then he said he will be there for me, his future wife said can I do her make up for
