Hormones, Job Hunt & Jogging
Bit of a life update...
I went to Trans Clinic on Tuesday and got my prescription for T. I'm really excited to start, but I'm having money issues--I'm short about 9$. Hopefully, this will be fixed tomorrow. If not, I will have to wait until the 16th, and in the mean time I will have to push back/re-schedule two blood draws and a TC appointment. (Major hassle.)
Applied for a position at Dungarvin, and for the Project Coordinator position that VIA has out. Haven't heard back yet, but it's only been since Monday/Tuesday. I have another couple of leads to follow. Need to talk to A about grant-writing for the Queer Scouts. Be great if I could write for a living. Oh well.
I've started jogging everyday, following the Walk to Run coaching program on the Nike+ website. I'm seeing some real progress, but I'm worried about the step up next week. I need a good post-run routine--I've started icing my legs/joints, but I need a flavour of Gatorade I can palate and a good protein-full snack for afters... I feel pretty good, though.
I've been trying to keep busy with several things a week, without overloading and shutting down/withdrawing. Fine line, but I haven't been getting so depressed, so I'm not avoiding hanging out with my friends. I feel sometimes I'm trying too hard to hang out--too clingy? No one's complained, and my new mantra is that I need to trust my friends to tell me when we have an issue. If they don't feel they can voice things, it's not as good a friendship as I'd like. I want honesty, even when it hurts.
I need another US#7 40" circular for a project I've planned. Also, I need to wind some of the skeins into balls--they are not really very portable this way. I've been a bit knit obsessed recently, but without knit capability. :(
