The Last Year

So let me be the first to say that I disappeared for nearly an entire year. So much has happened since then. I'll try to get throught them at a reasonable pace.
Firstly, I found out that I was underdosing my estrogen. It was an entirely accidental situation but resulted in a good chunk of the issues I was having between January to March. Seasonal depression also kicked my ass last year.

Early year was mostly uneventful. Few local oddities that left my little group concerned over potential losses of community. That luckily was handled pretty swiftly through everyone working together. Enjoyed my aniverisary with my spouse, worked on being more social, and generally tried to do a ton.

In June, my other partner proposed to me! I cried, called him a bastard, and it was a lovely time. he truely brings me so much joy! Take a picture!

Most of the rest of the year was a blur. Kids birthday, fun events with friends, Halloween and my kid saying "Trick or Treat" every day for 3 months, gaming with my best friend (Love you Matt!), thrifting, a trip to a different state. Holidays. It was a lot, but still so uneventful at the same time.

Some super fun things towards the end of the year include the christmas party myself and my new fiance went to. Gods it was so fun to see friends (and kiss a gal I have a stupid obvious crush on. Being polyamorous rocks!). Also the System Soup Nights myself and my fiance go to pretty regularly once a month. The soup is so good and the company is too. I even typed part of this at one of those events.

New year rolled. I had one of the best birthdays and it wasnt even that eventful. Went to a card game shop and a comic book shop. We then went to one of those stores that sells liquidated items from bigger stores in bins ya have to dig through. All that capped off with some Olive Garden pasta. Februrary rolled. Aniversary for my marriage. had some candid conversations about how our relationship is more platonic with them. We are still figuring out how to make things work while also having a kid but no need to go through that now.

March and my 10 years as trans and 2 years on HRT came up. It's so wild how far Ive come regarding that. I've been giving myself my shot without issues for quite a while now. (weekly for about 4 months) and its wild how its harder for me to let my fiance give me my shot than give myself it. Late April I took a trip to Chicago to watch Femtanyl live and that was so fun! I have a video from that (crunchy in all its digicam glory. Flashing lights and loud cruchy audio warning!).

Now we are getting closer to my kids birthday again. Goodness time is flying too much.

So far this last 6 months I've gotten heavily into digital minimalism and pulling myself away from tech when I'm not at home. I got a flip phone for christmas. I got an iPod 5th gen from my little brother a bit before then. I've started reading more. I'm working out with my fiance occasionally. I recently got a camera and have been getting heavily into photography (as you can tell from the video but also take this pretty picture from my chicago trip below). I feel like I'm learning to live again in a way. It's not always easy but I'm getting there.

Anyway I dont think there is much to add about my personal life now. I really wana keep working slowly on this site and making a life for myself as whats going on right now is a whirlwind of crazy. Here's hoping I can keep up and not go another year without a post.

Wish me luck...
