Seasons Greetings everyone!

Hope this time for celebration finds you well and enjoying life to the fullest! I've been busy working 5 days a week and finally have a few days to myself. Not doing too much in the way of Christmas this year, a few decorations up but not going to bother with a tree (sounds Grinchy doesn't it?). Life has been going well since I last wrote, HRT is doing its thing and have absolutely no regrets of my decisions, only wish I could speed up the process a bit. I even thought of begging (you know, asking for donations for my surgery on the Web). Oh well......I won't hold my breath.

Had a wonderful day this Saturday, a friend (Tori) and myself went to one of the local malls to do some shopping. Not really use to such big crowds so far, and the last weekend before Christmas too!. Bought a lovely pair of black leather boots that I absolutely adore, Tori found a great pair too! After we went to one of the local restaurants for lunch and enjoyed our time chatting.

Decided to stop taking Zoloft a few weeks ago (more due to the fact that my Psych decided to retire and I never did find a replacement for him). This is as bad as when I stopped my Effexor some time ago.....something people refer to as "Brain Zaps" or "Brain Shivers", I prefer to call them "Brain Farts" , hopefully the side effects of quitting will subside in a month or so.

Now could someone tell the Weather Queen to ease up on the snow and cold weather, this is darn right silly...

Take care and enjoy in whatever your religious beliefs are (if any), if someone is serving drinks, a Chocolate Martini for me please :)

Hope to add more at the beginning of the New Year (2009, sheesh, only a year till the Winter Olympics here).

Best Wishes

Well finally I sat down to update this dang thing...lol !

2007 was an interesting year overall. Am taking Life Skills classes to try to better my ability to deal with stress and depression, The program has been very helpful actually. A very calming effect allowing me to cope with life. Work was still an issue and I needed to get back at it and make myself useful again. With that in mind I started my own company. Somewhat of a slow start, I am easing myself back into the work stream. Now all I need to do is make some real money to get things back in order. I hope some time this year to update my camera and a few other goodies. Joined a local support/social group here and am having a wonderful time with my new friends. Next week is my first Endocrinologist appointment, I am hoping I am fit enough to start on a hrt program. All said and done, I am looking forward to 2008 and all it may bring. till doing my best to keep myself in shape with exercising 6 nights a week, those Christmas goodies are my downfall...hehe. Hope everyones New Year is a special one and your dreams come true....

Best Wishes

Well here we are into the start of the holiday season.  No matter what you celebrate if anything....its still a nice time to connect with family and friends.

Not a lot to report to date, still plugging along, still looking for that new career. If I had my choice, I certainly wouldn't work in guy mode if at all possible.

Started a new diet/exercise program at the beginning of November and am happy to say I have lost 15 lbs so far.......only 20 to go to my target goal ! Its nice to see my clothing fit a bit better if not somewhat a bit loose :)

Wishing everyone the best and have a safe happy December!
