Moving on

Well I did say after the last blog that I would be happier this time. Well I had hoped that but another load of random abuse thrown at me through a passing car marked another low. Men again. 

What is it with you. I don't want or need the opinion of such idiots. You don't achieve anything and look a dick. Really don't understand how people like that think. 

Events like that are however put into perspective when in a pub recently a random young female gave me a hug and said I was excellent. I do hold a lot of hope for the future generations. They appear far more open minded. Family excepted still it seems. I was told by my ex that apparently my daughter wants nothing to do with me ever again. Why do I think that's her and not my daughter talking. Nothing like an ex with a chip on her shoulder is there. FFS grow up and move on. Two years later and still being spiteful. Again the minds of some are beyond explanation.

On the good news front, I'm fast approaching a year on hormones. Can't believe how fast that has come around. Pretty much happy with progress to date.

So that anniversary opens me up to getting formal surgery referral. Indeed I have already booked in my first of the two necessary referrals. Second may take a bit longer but I've sourced a price for a surgeon and looking hopefully that by this time next year I'll be fixed.

I was asked recently if I was nervous. It's major surgery so I'm nervous about that but as for what I'm doing then not at all. It was meant to be. Soon it will be.

As we pass into winter and restrictions not it seems being reimposed, it time for a trip. Nowhere extravagant just a weekend away in Blackpool. Been a few years with Covid but really looking forward to it now. Revisit some old haunts which were inspirational to me and try a few new places out. Weather is irrelevant, company will be good and just looking forward to chilling out. 

Those who follow me on social media will see I did a small piece for the Liverpool Echo about hate crime. Really enjoy doing things like this for community and got a webinar this month for work around TDoR. Important time of the year for people like me and again hope to get the message out there. A few other new social events as well in the coming weeks so hopefully a lot to talk about next time.

Fashion wise I'm probably going through my second phase of clothes now. That period where I had to binge shop is now being replaced by more careful selections. A couple of nice dresses from M&S plus yes you guessed it, Phase Eight dress and top brought. Into double figures with their dresses now. Don't see that number dropping lol. I appreciate I'm fortunate to be able to shop where I want but as always love a bargain. Cheshire oaks visit recently with a good friend was as always fun. Think I'll start ticking off all the outlet villages to go to lol 

Nothing yet on the dating front but was always going to be a long slog. Do at times get lonely but it is what it is. The alternative was much much worse and don't regret a thing. 

So looking forward to finishing off the year with an eventful few weeks.

Until next time, be the best ally you can and never prejudge anyone.

Take care
