A year and a half since the start of my next chapter. This is going to be short because of a lot of issues this week. But I did want to put something down on this anniversary day.
What's happening with my body?
A bit more hairy. A lot more hair on my back (which my wife just "loves"). I have to protect myself from her desire to sneak attack with the wax strips! More hair on my chest and belly. Noticing the hair slowly getting thicker and moving down my arms onto my hands. More facial hair because I have been letting it go to see what I can do with it. My skin has been getting much tougher. Shots are getting harder to do in my legs because of this. My weight is distributing more from my rear to my belly. So now I have joined a gym to get rid of said belly and to start toning/building the muscles in my chest and arms. Feet are actually widening a little bit which sucks because I had wide feet to begin with. It's interesting to discover the little changes as time goes on. I don't see the facial structure changes on a day to day, month to month basis. It takes the comparison pictures I take for it to sink in about that changes.
Attitude change is kicking in over the last couple of months. Temper is a lot more prominent now. I used to be able to know when the temper was coming, I was aware of my words that were coming and I could stifle them when needed. Now the filter is gone! It is truly difficult to stop the bad/wrong words from coming out until it's too late. This is a huge challenge at work! Blood pressure has been an issue and my Dr. and I are working on that.
I have a hard time sorting/organizing my thoughts. There is a bunch of controversy going on about Transgender people using the "correct" bathroom. While I can get upset quickly about little things like bad drivers etc, I can not put together my thoughts in a constructive way to debate against the people that are against "us".
I do want to write more about this but I have some more pertinent issues to deal with first.
Until then.....
