Well today I went back to work after only one day off, it doesn’t feel like there has been a weekend at all. Ah well, it’s my job after all. On the real subject though, I pointed our receptionist Shawn at this site, which turned out to be a real eye opener for her. The good part is she took it all in her stride which I’m very happy about as we often joke and laugh together both being foreigners and all that.

Hilarity ensued and I couldn’t wait to let her in on the info her when over lunch we spoke of muffin top’s. I had said about my weight loss, and a good friend (who is not in the know yet) said I should watch it, or I could have a muffin top.

This I found extremely funny as I thought to myself, “if only you knew the truth”.

When I spoke to Shawn later and she started thinking about the same comment we both burst into laughter again.

On a more serious note, I made the appointment with the doctor. I’m really not looking forward to it as they do like to lay it on thick about self prescribing anything, and I have heard of cases where the doctor refuses to deal with it. I hope that is not the case here, and I do hope that he moves fairly quickly to help me “get it right”.

Well it’s the weekend and it doesn’t really feel like it.  Too many late evenings this week, and today I started work at 07:30 and finished 20:30, it has been a long day.

Nothing that I can talk about happened today because there has been no time, just took my medications, and went to work. What a uninspiring life I lead some times.

Well it’s the end of a long week, at least it should be, I have to work tomorrow.  Had a nice meal tonight at ‘Bella Vista‘.  Ally and I sat and had a quiet chat, enjoyed some food and wine, and generally relaxed.

Well it’s that time of the month, mailman day and my Inbox is full as usual. What’s new today? Well not a lot really, I started work early (07:30) and didn’t finish until 20:40ish, I am very tired.

Ally has painted my nails tonight, and I’m happy, she was happy to talk a little and we are going to bed reasonably early as I need to be at work tomorrow at 07:30.

Was that time of the month again for the injection, tip for you all out there, point your toes inward and relax, if you balance on one leg and rush, it HURTS!

Well looks like today was the day for talking, Ally finally said something to me about her feelings and it’s positive.

“As far as your changes go, they will happen over some time, so we will talk about it as needed, but please keep me informed of any other decisions, even if you don’t let me take part in the decision itself. I want to be a part of the process.”

I can’t ask for better than that, I do love Ally so much.

Problems for today, are few but they are there. This morning I learned that Gavin, Jesse, Steve and Craig are all going to AusCERT this year and of course they do not know. I spoke to Gavin quietly as initially I didn’t know who was going and told him about the revelations of the last few days, and that I was concerned how some might react should they see me in a skirt at AusCERT (yes it’s a real possibility). Gavin understood and later told me who was going, I emailed HR and got no reply, so I decided to speak to them individually myself

Steve was positive in his response, he said, “I’d have never have picked it with you”, but as I said, I hid my real self from the world for 39 years, so it’s not all that surprising. Steve has been really good he indicated that I could talk to him if I wanted, and he was completely happy with the idea.

Jesse on the other hand I am concerned about, he just went quiet, and didn’t seem to know how to react. I told him it was ok to be shocked, surprised, if he wanted counseling or anyone to talk to, I was here, HR knew and already indicated they would provide etc. He shrugged and said, ‘Ok’, and not much else. I do hope Jesse is ok with it really, because some of the team do look to him for life guidance, and he and I have had plenty of laughs at work.

I didn’t speak to Craig, as I’m unsure of how he will react.
