Well, today marks one year. It was one year ago that after coming home from an incredible weekend with my kid and seeing Pearl Jam, that my then wife said "I'm a lesbian, I want to have sex with other people specifically women". Here we are a year later and clearly they meant A as they had met them back in April. Oh the things we have learned, eh kids? But you know what? In hindsight, this was the greatest thing that ever happened to me. I'm serious. I have never felt more complete, whole, and myself. I've never had a partner that loves me so truly or deeply. I've never given myself in full to a relationship and the difference is amazing. I am happy. At least with that part of my life. Other areas still need work, but damn, I am happy.
Okay, yesterday. BIG day. The cats have been driving us nuts since we got home and yesterday was no exception. They will not leave us alone. Pawing, climbing, whining. I never have wished harm on an animal but I almost threw them outside to fend for themselves. Bye, have fun! I got to have an adventure for work. I submitted my name change paperwork. I also got fingerprinted and mailed that off to the MI police. Yep. It's in process. Now I sit and wait for everything to move forward. Next step is a court date where I appear in front of a judge, they approve or deny my request, and if approved I can get all new IDs. YAY! I will have a license in my name and gender. Very excited about this. It did take going to multiple locations, buildings, and paying $400. They do not make this easy. Plus it's only the first step. Once I get forms saying it's approved I then have to call everyone under the sun and get them to change my name. I expect to be finished by 2024. Seriously. If I can go into next year and not have my old name, I will be happy.
We also went grocery shopping yesterday as our house was bare. To be expected though. We cleaned it all out before we left on purpose. Came home, worked on getting all the garbage out, including stupid head's remaining shit in my basement. Then I worked on putting all the pictures from our trip up and sharing them with people. 951 shared pics. Well over 1000 taken in two weeks. After, I made chicken pasta for dinner. We watched a little tv, had sex, tried to sleep with cats climbing all over us.
Today I have to write a new class, prep for a webinar session tomorrow, and just be.
