Catching up
It's been a busy few days and so I'm finally typing today's entry at 6.30am just because I know that if I wait till later it may not happen and that has happened too often.
Yesterday (Thursday) I went to see my voice therapist, Christella. I think my voice always sounds so much better during a coaching session with her than I think it ever sounds when I'm out on my own(!) Having said that, I know it's much better now than it was 6 months ago... Perhaps that has something to do with me being more comfortable in myself too.
I informed her about FFS progress and my upcoming date - 25 October and we discussed a vocal surgery timetable. It could even happen before FFS?! To have both procedures before the end of the year seems amazing to me and I am looking forward to it.
I also saw Dr Lorrimer at the ChX GIC on Wednesday for my regular 3 monthly appointment. We have begun to discuss the road map for gender corrective surgery late next year.
Beyond that I told Dr Lorrimer that I felt as if life was now much calmer with no more big dramas regarding my transition.

I'm just waiting for Richard and Imelda (The owners of The art studio to return from a trip so that I can move in... Next week I hope.
I keep on having ideas about new art and consequently have not yet fixed in my head exactly what I'm going to produce yet.

There was a discussion on a transgender support website regarding disclosure in new relationships. I have not posted in the thread myself but just reading all the words others were writing made me think it says more about them than it does about the issue itself. Honesty and openness are working for me and I'm unlikely to ever go into stealth under normal circumstances. Though the way I talk about myself may change in future - I know that my understanding of myself and the way I define or describe myself to others has already altered and clarified itself a lot over the last year.

Also, forgot to mention here... Last Sunday I saw Inception - absolutely fantastic film and I'd like to watch it again. Creative, thought inspiring, imaginative and entertaining.

Ok, I'm now off to do my morning exercise - bike today rather than run.
