Almost home

Well, two more days until she's home with the new funbags. (hey, she wants me to call them that.)

I'm looking forward to seeing her again. Let me tell you, the last few weeks have been really crappy. I hate being alone. Yeah, it's true. I guess that when you spend almost 4.5 years with someone, you get to the point where you are used to having that perosn around, and I have to admit, as much as I love my dogs, I have to admit, that they really aren't the same as having her around.

I guess that I will have to let you know how things go when she gets home. No, I doubt that I will be allowed to post up pix of how they look, but I will be sure to let you know what her overall impressions of her MD were and what she thinks of the overall experience.

More later...... probably much later as we have some plans for when she gets home Friday night and I have to work on Saturday. Might not be until Sunday or next week when I actually have free time at home to do more writing.

OK Back again...

OK, sorry about the short post previously, I was in a bit of a tizzy as I had gotten some very bad news about a very good friend. Now he is doing better and I can concentrate a little bit more.

So, she has boobies now. I haven't seen them yet, but be sure that when I do I will let you know what I think. They have them wrapped up right now and will be unwrapping them on Sunday.

I have had a couple people ask me if this is going to change our relationship at all. I have put a lot of thought into it lately, and I have to say that if anything, I think that it will change it for the better. I know that I have talked about this before, but that is when it was just something coming up. Now it's done and I have to really think about it. I know that it will be fun, and it will be easier on us in some ways as she will be more womanly looking and not have to deal with so much BS from the general public, but beyond that... like I always say, a day at a time.

The only scary part was when she had to go to the hospital yesterday because she was having bad cramping in her legs. Turns out that being off her meds for the surgery had the side effect of dropping her potassium level down. Good thing is they caught it, so that is being taken care of and will not become a major issue now. On the other hand, it was a few hours of twitchiness that I really didn't need :)

OK, I think that is all for now. I will be posting sometime next week I'm sure, unless I get all done up and have to do a Thanksgiving post as well :)

Make sure you eat all you can on Thursday, and enjoy the friends and family in your life. Remember, Family is what you make it. Just because someone is not married or related by blood does not mean that they are not family, just that they are family you chose.

They're in!!

Well, she is now a double D.

Everything went well and she should be back at the end of next week or the beginning of the week after that depending on the bus schedules.

I would write more, but we just got some bad news that a close friend is not doing well, so I will leave you with this for now. Live like it is your last day, love like you have never loved before and experience every little thing to the fullest for you never know when your time will come.

War and Peace

OK, I know it is a rather long novel, but it also seems to be a good way to define our relationship some days.

She came back from NYC and we have been doing well, getting everything ready for the big day, talking, all that good stuff.

She told me that now that this is a reality to her, that she feels a kind of peace with the world type feeling and wants to start over and not be so bitchy.... best way I can describe it without going into a long dissertation as she did... Anyways... things have indeed been better. No knife wielding, no knock down drag out fights. The house is in great shape from both our efforts (did a little redecorating as we went too, worked out very nicely). And then we got the phone call.

Because of a kink in the surgeon's schedule, she needed to move the surgery date. Fortunately, it was sooner than later. Now she is going on for the enhancement on the 17th and being unwrapped on Thanksgiving as the Doctor leaves the next day. On top of all this, I lost my full time job. (donations accepted, e-mail for paypal details :))

So here we are, in a bit of a holding pattern for the next week and a half until she goes down the NYC for the surgery. Now, though, she is also getting the pre-op jitters it seems. It all kinda hit her the other day that she is actually getting it done and all. Then she tells me how she found all this bad info on the doc, I went online to check it out and realized that this is nothing more than one or maybe two people who had a bad experience and are running their mouths about it. Thing is, I don't care who you are, if you are a plastic surgeon who has been working in the field for 35 years and is board certified, I figure you must have some small idea what the hell you're doing. Of course, in the course of 35 years, I also figure that anyone who tells you they were never sued is also likely to be a liar as well, especially in that business. Hell, I cut hair and I know what it is like to have people come in with unreal expectations and not get the point that you can't work magic.

So we are getting through this a day at a time, I'm working on trying to be down there for the surgery, but since we just had a stylist walk out, I don't know how much flexibility we are going to have here.

Hope this finds you all well and getting ready for Thanksgiving. I am trying to keep this updated more often now, especially since I only have the one job to tie up my time now :)

She's on the way home

Yeppers, she's gonna be home for a few weeks. It'll be nice to go back to the bickering and arguing on a regular basis again, I miss that and it's really tough to argue with yourself (yeah, I tried it, so sue me).

Just kidding. IN reality, I miss her like crazy because after almost found and a half years, you get used to having someone around to talk to and to hsare your day with and all that. Granted, the sex is good too, but it's really the little things that make it all worthwhile.

Just about have the house looking how I want it (was supposed to have until tomorrow, so I can't be held responsible for that, this was my cleaning day) so it shouldn't be a bad evening overall.

Maybe we'll sit together and watch a movie or something. I have a tub of Kettlecorn from Blockbuster to go with it (back on sale at 2 for $3, and I love their popcorn). We'll see.

Oh yeah, no funbags yet (I know, but that is what she told me to call them, don't blame me on that one :)). She has to have a couple appointments with her regular doc for clearance, then she will be going back down to the City around Thanksgiving for the surgery. On the plus side, she will be staying down there for the recovery, so I will not be listening to the complaining (yeah, I'll hear it about that one, but that's OK too.)

Anyways, back to the cleaning and I hope that you all have a great day!!

Why do I have to be such a guy sometimes????

I know, it sounds crazy, but it's true.

She is in NYC right now for some Doctor appointments and will likely be coming back a bit more top heavy than when she went down there. I miss her like crazy, but when we get on the hone together, it's like all that goes into hiding and that is frustrating as hell. I don't know why that is, just that it annoys me. I try to be more open and stuff, but it is difficult. For some reason I just can't seem to bring myself to be emotional on the phone.

The other thing is that I feel like she is ignoring me now that she is getting some work done. I know that she is excited and nervous and all that, but hey, I have a life too and there are things going on in it that I want to share too. I am starting a new business of my own and I wanted to share that with her and when I was talking to her about it earlier, she said, "What business?" I was so upset, feeling like my life didn't matter to her. I don't like that either. I know that if I was the one going in for this surgery, I would be nervous as hell, of course, I have a more grounded idea of exactly what they are going to do, but that is just my background speaking (see previous post for that :))

I guess that part of the initial problem is that I spend so freaking much time on the phone for work that I don't know how to just talk on the phone any more. To me it has become something that I spend 12 hours a night doing as a job (no, as much as I know some of you would love it, I am not a sex line operator). I guess I just want her to realize that I really miss her too. She wanted me to talk a little dirty and all I could do was bust out laughing. I can't talk dirty wtih a straight face for some reason.

Ah well, I guess I just have to learn how to get past it. More updates to follow.

OMG!! Are those BOOBIES?!?!?!?!

OK, I know that title sounds a little juvenile, but if you knew me, you would know that I make it a point to never act my age. I credit this attitude for my youthful looks and energy :)

I held off a little bit longer than I wanted to on writing this because I knew that there was something in the works, something big. Well, about a DD big. Yeah, she is getting the breast augmentation done. Most likely, it will be around Thanksgiving, so I guess we will both have something to be thankful for.

A lot of thought has been running around in my brain pan of late, well since she told me that the funding for it had been secured anyway. I guess it is one of those things that you do when your life is changing. I know that I love this person and that the gender change will not make a difference in that, so that is not the issue, I guess I am wondering what kind of changes this will bring in the relationship because it is going to change how she feels about herself and that can affect everything. Hopefully, it will be for the better.

Part of me wants to run around yelling that I have a new set of fun bags to play with (OK, that was really juvenile, but hey, that's what is going through my head.) The other part of me is waiting cautiously to see what happens. I know that there is going to be a period of griping, bitching and general unpleasantness as she recovers from the surgery (I mean hell, they cut a hole in your chest and shove a big gummy-bear like thing in underneath the muscle and stretch it all to hell and back.... you can't tell me that doesn't hurt like a bastard!!!!) and am hoping that it is a rather quick recovery and minimal complaining :)

I think that I am definitely going to be taking some before shots so that we can document this whole thing. I really wish I had thought of that back in the beginning, because I think that a once a week picture of the transition would have been an amazing documentary. Ah well, such is life, hind sight is always 20/20 eh?

OK, I need to go finish making dinner now. I will keep trying to make these updates a little more frequently. Now that we are up to full staff at the salon, I get a day off here and there so I should be able to fit in a little more blogging time.

Until then, have blast and enjoy life :)
