The Ether

This is the first blog in which I have managed to write more than a few posts. I love the idea of a blog in the same way that I loved the idea of writing a diary when I was a teenager. My room was littered with notebooks with, at most, two entries and IContinue reading “The Ether”

To Be or Not To Be (Me), that is the (toilet) question!

I have my next meeting at the Gender Identity Clinic on Thursday! Yeah, gulp. How does that make me feel? Anxious, divided, undecided, excited, shaky, positive, disloyal, over joyed, frustrated, negative, …… You get the picture! But surely this should be a good thing.

New Year’s Resolutions – The Result(s)

I have cut right back down on my sugar intake over the last couple of days. This is good as a type 2 diabetic!

One Good Thing

My good thing today: I have finished series 2 of “The Marvelous Mrs Maisel” on AmazonContinue reading “One Good Thing”
