Hello and a Happy Easter ladies!
Just sitting here at the kitchen island this lovely sunny Sunday morning, enjoying a warm cuppa joe, wearing my favourite warm fuzzy pink polka dot sweats, a corset and a pair of big fluffy bunny ears left here by my daughter after last nights family Easter dinner (Chinese take out, non-traditional I know, but how many of us HERE consider anything they do as ‘traditional?) and catching up on some messages and a few goings on at CDH.
I’ve been well, doing plenty of personal growth work both in regards to Rei as well as her male counterpart, in addition to the relationship with my SO. I have a had a number of phone sessions with a councillor and have also set an appointment with the local Trans Health Clinic in order to have access all the services they offer as far as medical, physical and mental check ups necessary to qualify to begin to transition, (whatever and however far that path may lead). Things are moving along a comfortable pace, and although sometimes it feels a little too slow I have learned that having the time forced upon you to sit with certain thoughts and feelings only serves to reinforce my commitment and conviction that my life is moving in the right direction.
I hope you all are doing well and are able to find even some small measure of happiness, peace and contentment.
Bye for now, Rei

Hey Grace, in our part of the world, we call it the “good old traditional Canadian Chinese”. A favorite of my wife and I. I once went to a friend’s traditional Chinese wedding (that was quite a long time ago). I didn’t recognize most of the food. But it was fun playing with the spinning table.
Glad to read that Rei is doing well. That’s quite the journey. All the Best, Hugs, Krista.

Oh Grace, I have a much better “being drunk at a Chinese restaurant” story. This goes back to my first wife (so you know it has to be a long time ago – gosh I just figured it out – 41 years ago). We went out to a Canadian Chinese restaurant, mind you, it was a very fancy shmancy restaurant. Waiters in tuxedos, many food courses to go through, that sort of place. Anyway with each course, we had more drinks. By the time dessert rolled around, I was very inebriated. Good thing, it was a short walk back to our apartment. After dessert and a bit more alcohol laden drink, they brought out a bowl of water with lemon in it, and what appeared to be a coconut roll. Being still quite young and not aware of the protocol in fine restaurants, and actually not remembering that we ordered any dessert, I proceeded to take my knife and fork to cut into the coconut roll. Darn thing wouldn’t cut. Yes, you guessed it, it was a small white cloth folded into a roll to use to dry off your fingers after a soaking in the lemon water. You could dress me up but couldn’t take me out. I was too drunk to be embarrassed at the time, but it is a funny story when I think back. Yes, I’ve matured a great deal since then.
Hick……eh, Big Hugs, Krista.

Lovely story Krista…protocol does get confusing after a wee dram…haha…I know a person who actually drank the finger bowl….don’t worry, he has never been allowed to forget it !!!!

Sending hopes for peace and contentment your way, Rei.
And the tikka masala and tandoori shrimp for our traditional Easter was delish by the way.
Best to you,
Clara

Hi Rei,
Happy Easter to you too. For many of us, I think this is a journey of personal growth more than it is about dressing in certain clothes. I wish you much luck in your personal growth!

It sounds like you are in a great position to succeed in whatever it is you decide is your “sweet spot” with regards to transitioning. Best of luck always!

It sounds like you’re doing really well, and your life is moving in the direction you want it to go in, and so you’re blessed, and I’m happy for you.
Be safe and well,
Bridgette
