are getting unpleasant at work .. I'm sure the pressure is to drive me

Still not got to grips with this new format .. LOL .. but the lack of

26th July pictures of our new car,
pre delivery .. check that
colour out in the close up .. very feminine .. in a violet way
..
28th July .. I saw another GP .. he's
doubled my dose of Prozac as it's not achieved the desired effect ..
31st July .. maybe the prozac is now working .. the easiest dilation
for about 8 weeks .. my spirits are lifted.
|
Diary .. weeks 245 - 248
(13-08-09 to 09-09-09)
|
The doubled dose of Prozac is working
for me, helped no doubt by my company realizing I was cracking
under the strain. Dilation's are easier and I'm sleeping a lot better,
hopefully the unwinding viscous circle will help me settle and get back
off the Prozac soon. Me in my
bikini on Bob's boat!!

Ok I'm working on de personalising of the manouvering that happen at
"the old place" prior to my redundancy leading to me being ushered out
early with the benefits from the redundancy .. this will be the next

side of UK business in dealing with "truth" and side issues when
a transperson is involved ..

organisation to work for, just as ITN was when they employed me in
1982. I'm taking a slight hit on salary for 6 months but then I'll be
back to the same .. not with 15 years of service behind it either ..
the other news is that Karen is in love with me again .. I feel I've

the new job is working out to be fabulous .. I'd go as far to say this
is the ultimate employer in radio at the moment. The slight cut in pay
is sooo worth it .. I'm being set up for training courses here and
there and I'm asked to go on my first major overseas trip to do some
work near Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada .. I flew out 26th September
and left Canada on the 6th October .. gave me a chance to visit Jamie

foot the following morning ..
Well I had a real shock this month ..
"Bob the boat" was found dead on board the boat .. it was a heart
attack .. his funeral, held in my village where his family had owned 3
houses and lived here for 40 years, was very moving .. the church
was almost full .. about 175 people.
I now need to find my own boat to stay where I love .. on the sea.

06/12/10
.. Back to work without my "air boot" ( or human wheel clamp as I call
it ) .. it's a relief but things are very strange .. the foot is sore
still, I need to wear shoes with plenty of "toe cleavage" to avoid
pressure on top of my foot, my left ankle and knee are quite "stiff".
09/12/10 .. 6 years on HRT
.. sometimes time seems to be running double time !!!
The Christmas season is here .. lots of socialising seems to be having
a serious bad effect on my weight .. I've got to learn self restraint
when it comes to food .. << sighs >> .. Christmas weekend
is good +1lb!!.

Blue Ray burner built in.

by Broil King .. a Crown 70 Stainless .. simple beginnings with
sausages .. lovely !!

This is the index for my Diary pages. As
with any diary, it's a work in progress. This diary is my outlook on
family life, work life and the rest of the baggage I'm carrying as I go
forward though hormone treatment towards transition and beyond. My
experiences as my body and mind are altered by the hormones will be
recorded. I'll try and be as open as possible, if you know me and have
seen my other site bits, you'll realize I am pretty open and honest
about things. Some of the serious personal stuff I may choose to omit
if my wife says so .. names of friends and colleagues who do not know
about me I'll only use their initials to protect identities ...
specially mine .. till they know .. I have to be very careful till I am
"out" fully at work.
