Yes, I've been neglecting my web site.
Yes, that neglect will continue for a little while still.
Sorry for the long absence. Things have gotten super busy and they won't get much better for another 10 days or so. At that point, all my work on my research will be finished (including the presentation I have to do), school will be winding down and I'll finally have a few minutes to breath again.
So this weekend my sister and her fiance came up to visit me. If you don't remember my earlier post, my sis knows about the fact that I'm transsexual and that I'm moving ahead with transition. She's been nothing but supportive and completely awesome in every way. T* and I sat down and answered the rest of the questions they had and tried to explain exactly why I'm doing what I am (as if I even know myself). It was really great to have T* help me out as she understands really well from an outside point of view what I'm going through and tends to be able to vocalize what I'm trying to say 100 times better. We didn't do much of anything exciting except sit around and talk until all hours of the night. I think I'm going to be able to be a lot closer with my sister now that this isn't between us. It feels great to just have everything out in the open and not feel as if I'm a bad person for it anymore.
Yesterday, we went out to get some lunch (minus T*)and while my sis was in the bathroom her fiance asked me if I wanted to go to my sister's wedding shower. He said that she doesn't know they're throwing her one and all the women from both sides of their families were going to be there so I was more than welcome to go. At which point I immediately choked up. They've both been so good about everything and it's very obvious that they are already starting to identify me as being the woman I am. Although I wanted to go, there will be a large number of people there that still won't know that I'm transitioning so I had to politely decline. I don't want to cause problems, afterall, hopefully she'll only get married once and I don't want to do anything that could jeopardize her comfortability just before they tie the knot. There are already enough issues that have come up on their own.
I added another set of photos. Nothing very exciting but maybe enough to appease people until I get some more free time :-P Sorry about the email back up. You'll hear from me soon.
