Okay. Yeah. It Was a Milestone.

As Suzi noted, I composed the last entry at a very late hour. Rather than being wired, I was physically exhausted and emotionally spent. But I felt I had to write it down while it was fresh. It was a great day. Eating out as Leslie has brought a grin to my face more than once today. My heart always sings when I get to be myself, and it had been almost four months since my last hair-to-heels experience. Tooooo long...

I promise I'll put up a picture when I receive it (them?). I'm at Tara's mercy till then (and likely not the first). When she took the pics, she said she had stolen my essence. I can only imagine the craven things she might do with someone's essence. I know I'm not objective about my looks, and the internet would be a duller place if only "beautiful" people posted their pics. So, I hope everyone's expectations have been properly lowered!

I'm very touched at the outpouring of stories and encouragement. What a great bunch of girls I have looking out for me, online and locally. So many people care about me, and incredibly, what I take away from it is to take myself less seriously. I'm lucky to have several gals mentoring me. God knows I need propping up sometimes.

So I guess I'm a different person today. I accomplished something I've dreamed about for a quarter century. Damn, I feel old when I say that.
