Month 4: And Now for Something Called a "Proper Entry" ...
Hi friends!
Okay, so, been ridiculously busy. I just switched to full-time at work (all it took was asking our new store manager once; I had asked our previous store manager multiple times over the last year, ha), and now I'm quite possibly going to get a promotion. Our price auditor (in charge of pricing and management of tags, sales, and what not) got promoted to manager, so that left her position open, and they are now considering me above anyone else for that position. It would mean a raise and a more stable schedule. Yee-aaaauuhh. (I can't believe I just said yee-aaaauuhh. Must be this espresso blend coffee.)
On the school front, I'm chugging along at the musical. We've been rehearsing three times a week, and we've been singing all the music I've wrote, and it's still super-trippy hearing other people sing my music. And well. I mean really well. I am a half-assed singer. These people can belt it out. I'm pleased.
As for transition news...nothing too much personally. Everything is gradual at this point. If you see the photo from the last entry, I guess my face has softened a little more. My breasts are somewhere between a AA and a full A. Skin is a lot softer than last month. It's all a waiting game at this point, but I have to say that my gender dysphoria is kind of slowly evaporating the further down the rabbit hole I go on this, so to speak.
And, to top it all off, I have a girlfriend. Or a boyfriend. Okay, I am in a relationship (that's easier--I swear, I'm not trying to sound offensive, this is just new territory for myself as well). I am always so bad with the boyfriend-girlfriend-he-she pronoun thing. Still a novice, here. Luckily, Corin is too, so we're both figuring this out together. Corin is a female-to-male, but hasn't begun hormones or had any surgeries yet. We just sort of flat-out fell for each other over the last couple of weeks. It's ridiculous how much we want to see each other. I just love the fact that we can relate on so many levels. Sometimes I worry that we're going to burn out on each other, but I guess there's no point in artificially seeing each other less if what we really want to do is see each other more. I'm optimistic. I'm happy. That's what matters, right?
Onward and upward,
Teegan
