Brief Happy Note

"Some people like to make life a little tougher than it is" -- CAKE --

The rollercoaster of this week is reaching a crest now. I picked up my wig today. It's even better than I'd imagined. I spent about three hours dressed (sans makeup), and just kept breaking into spontaneous grins. I got goose bumps every time I glanced at my reflection. "I know that girl!
Where have I seen her before?" Actually, I greatly resembled my oldest daughter. I've always thought I would have turned out much like her with the right hormone infusion at puberty. Suspicion confirmed.

This, even without the makeup and with the hairy arms, was the Leslie-est I've ever felt. I was in a windowless room, with storms raging outside, but the sun shone on me tonight. I wish this could last.
