Vixen takes a lickin', keeps on tickin'

Well, yesterday was interesting to say the least, but in a mostly good way. I went to my Mom's place for X-mas. What's wrong with that, you say? Well.... let's just say she doesn't support my decision to start living full time as a woman in the near future, nor does she understand why I want to move out of *beautiful* (sarcatic tone) LaSalle/Peru to Glen Ellyn. So, I go there expecting to be hounded about these facts, and sure enough, I did. But not too badly I guess. I mean.... I expected her to blow when I walked in wearing my denim jacket with the fake fur cuffs and collar, but she didn't notice, or didn't say anything because of the rest of the family being there. My one aunt already knows my plans, and she pretty much is supportive of my decision. Might help that her second oldest son has been out to her about his being gay for many years now. But my other aunt, and my Mom too, both are Catholic.... so you can imagine what I heard from them both about "You were born a man, god made you a man, it is a mortal sin for you to wear women's clothes" crap. Sheesh! Get a grip, girls. Really.

I must admit, I was surprised that I didn't just walk out, but I stayed. I received 2 nice wolf shirts from Mom, surprisingly. Now, why she got wolfs instead of foxes I will never know, other than the fact fox shirts are so hard to find for some reason. Oh well. My cousin gave me a gift card for Speedway gas stations, which will come in handy for my 90 mile commute to work starting Monday. Why's that you ask? Well, in case you hadn't noticed, I'm moving tomorrow. Hopefully we will have my computer back online tomorrow night, or Sunday at the latest.... have to have my net fix daily you know. *grins*

I feel bad though for a couple of reasons. Being as my paycheck was delayed, I didn't get to buy a gift for Crim like I had wanted. I will have to make that up to him in the future. Also, I have received a bunch of very much appreciated cards from so many of you, and I never managed to get my own sent out... so that is another thing I will be working on ASAP after I get settled in there.

I also have some good news on the TG front. I start my therapy sessions next Saturday. Now, this is good and bad in a way. It's good as I am making a start... but bad as it is $80 a session, and I have to go in every Saturday for the first few months, then it will drop to every other. This is going to be running me very tight on money for now.... so I don't know if I should start or wait. I know I don't want to wait..... but I'll have to see. It is a burning desire of mine to get myself back on hormones... and to do it the right way requires that I be in therapy. Which sucks. I know what I want to do is right for myself.... but the system disagrees. *sighs*
