Dear constant
readers, thank you firstly for inquirers through Cassidy (at Cassidy’s Quest) as
to my well-being and secondly for venturing back to this virtual den of
iniquity.
Why did I leave?
I made my old blog
private over security concerns. I am looking for a career position and I did
not want potential employers learning I (was?) am transsexual.
Blogger was linking my
site to my e-mail, which made an Internet search of me far too easy. I believe
I have resolved that problem and have migrated all my old posts over to the new
My Road site.
Why did I change the
blogs name?
My Road to
Womanhood, was a great descriptive title but I feel that I have successfully arrived
at that destination. The story from here on out is simply My Road….
How have I been?
Now that is a much
more difficult question to answer. Better than expected I guess. Divorce,
moving out of my home and away from daily contact with my children was and is
extremely painful.
I am so thankful to
my friend Julie for providing a place to stay, for friendship and daily
interaction that has kept me sane. To my sister Cassidy too, who is always
there at the other end of the phone and who keeps tabs on me through numerous
daily texts.
My corner of Ontario
like most of North America has been suffering through a terrible winter. For a fan of summer this season has dragged
on and on making a cheerful disposition even harder to maintain.
As an aside Cassisy and
I (Julie too) are planning a meet up this summer. Lets all pray the space time continuum can
handle such a monumental event without ripping apart the very fabric of
existence itself.
What am I up to?
Continuing to work
retail part time and write freelance part time.
I see my girls three
to four times a week, often picking them up from school and making them dinner.
Post SRS recovery
seems to be going well, dilating only twice a day is less of a chore but still
time consuming.
Time always seems in
short supply, especially when it comes to the job search. Hence the delay in
getting this blog back on track.
The back and forth
to work and my old home makes for a lot of driving. Despite running a
relatively fuel efficient late model Caddy 30 mpg (1985….that's a new car in my
books) fuel costs eat up a lot of income.
The Seville has been
a great car but as I expected from the start the 4.1 litre engine will
eventually fail. Beautifully efficient but they suffer from two fatal Achilles
heels, internal coolant leaks and weak lower main bearings. Mine continues to
run strong but I do hear what I take to be a thump from the front main bearing
when warm.
Worried I will have
to switch to my much less frugal 1976 Lincoln
or the 1976 Buick Electra….or sell them to get something…..shudder….modern.
I did take a used Fiat
Abarth out for a test drive but I cannot justify the price plus the Hemi
Challengers on the lot were calling to me.
As you can perhaps
tell, I am still obsessed with cars.
I am looking forward to sharing the road forward with all of you.
Hugs,
April

even cooler version here; damn Lux and the band look hot, the coolest band ever!
