OMG. I'm absolutely floored..

That moment when you Google your old best chum from high school and find out he's one of the best horror movie makeup guys in the world.



He's even on IMDB. I can't believe it. He used to be three times that size, and his nickname was "Paul Diet"

 

Jesus cat-petting Christ.

Do you guys want to know how it is from one trans person parenting another trans person of the opposite gender? I know that it's not easy to decipher from the outside. I knew as young as three. But instead of supporting me my family beat me until I acted cis. As I got older my peers beat me until I acted hypermasculine. I didn't come out until 35.

My son, on the other hand, came out at nine. His mother (my fiancee) was super supportive and still is. She knows I plan to transition. She still loves me. But we can't get hormones here due to being in tiny ass southern Alabama town. I'm close to paying off a large bank loan and when I do we're moving to Oregon. At least there my insurance will pay for hormones.

There's a hell of a lot more to it. If you want to know more then let me know, we can drag it to Serious if you want.

TWO EFFIN' SAUCE SACHETS IN MY KING POT

Eeee ya spawny get.

 

Today, I have gone from this;


To this;

 

Laura's had an annoying cough for ten days, it's finally abated to the point that I got a full night's sleep, uninterrupted, waking naturally five minutes before the alarm went off.

I should commission a painting.

 

Speaking of sleeping - our newborn has slept through the night pretty much since he came off the feeding tube. He'll go down between 11 and 12pm, maybe have a grizzle at 3/4am because he's lost his dummy, then I have to wake him up most mornings at 6am for a nappy change and feed before I go to work (after which he'll go back to sleep for an hour or two).

I don't expect it to last, but i'm grateful for now!

 

The first payday in what feels like several years (since the week before xmas).

 

Isn't payday typically a monthly affair?

 

I get paid early in December to assist with the festivities, I don't think it's an uncommon thing?

As a result, it's a long time before January rolls by.

 

Huh, maybe it is... just checking I got paid on the 21st December, and my payday is the normally last business day before the 28th, which in December would have normally been the 27th. Although I'm more inclined to think that's simply a matter of making sure people get paid on time, since there's a lot of cogs in most payroll machines, many of which may stop moving over the holiday period.
