It had just rained and the oppressive humidity of the day had given way to the promise of a cool evening. I sat on the front steps at twilight and felt an amazing sense of contentment.
I still have a long way to travel but I could not help believing things were falling into place. I am so very lucky I have the support of my family
…but we still have to tell "J's" mother and brother
I have the support of my boss and co-workers. I had two great chats with him this week where he reaffirmed his commitment to support my transition. I do feel a bit like I have won the lottery.
…but I am still worried about my job, the economy and the state of our industry
I am feeling much more confident about going full time
…but I still have moments of self doubt and panic
Dear constant reader, please don't worry, regularly scheduled broadcasts of angst and despair will no doubt resume shortly.
…in the meantime I am enjoying the moment.
In other news I sold my LT1 V8 powered Jaguar XJS in an effort to reduce my automotive fleet to a more manageable number. It was sad seeing her go but she is off to a good home. Only three more to go!
Really, an XJS no matter what is under the hood is a serious commitment in tears and heartache. I will be content (there is that word again) tinkering with my insolent chariots from Motown.
Ah ha, the perfect segue to:
The Velvelettes singing Needle in a Haystack from 1964
Photo of me is entitled "trying to take a good shot in the mirror at 3:30 AM" and the Mark IV is because I have been enjoying driving around in her all week.
