Month 8: Doomed! (Just Kidding)
Everything seems to be leveling out a little at home. I mean, until the next ridiculous issue that pops up that drives my roommates batty, I think it's clear sailing...for the time being. My living situation is fine. Everyone seems to be decidedly non-crazy, which is a pleasant change of pace. I think I can stick around living here for a bit. I wish my boyfriend could come over more often, but that's more of a factor of his damaged car than anything, and hopefully it'll be fixed in the next couple weeks.
Speaking of Corin, his appointment was postponed until next month. He's a little disappointed, but on the bright side, I can actually schedule it off properly so I can be with him on his first endocrinology appointment; before, I wasn't able to attend with him. My next checkup is actually tomorrow, on Monday. I am heading across county [again] with Corin to be told by my endocrinologist whether or not I am doomed. Doomed.
Not really. Actually, I don't see how things could be bad...
I mean, I'm happy. Things are changing more by the day. I looked at a video of myself taken recently, and I was kind of shocked about the shape my body has become. It's crazy how things change over a year whilst on hormones. My face is very smooth and streamlined compared to what it used to be. My body hair has thinned so much. Even my facial hair grows in more slowly. Wild.
I'm still shooting for May as my full-time date. I think that's still a reasonable future-date. It would also coincide with a big family wedding Corin and I are attending in Chicago for my cousin. Now that would be an excellent real life test, now wouldn't it?
Moving on,
TJ
