I had a bright idea. If I want to know whether intimacy was in the cards Saturday, I should ask my potential partner. Did I miss obvious signals? Mrs. Leslie reports that she made me a drink as an act of kindness. She had a White Russian and a glass of red wine. She says that if I had made a move, she might have been receptive, but after the drinks she was quite sleepy, and not sending me any specific messages. So, there ya go. I am not completely ignorant of her body language. Congrats to me!
My birthday luncheon got delayed till Tuesday, and it was a rushed affair even then. Pleasant enough, though. A nice Italian meal, scarfed down in time to rush to work and become terribly sleepy. She gave me a birthday gift at lunch, a gold-plated bracelet (who can afford real gold right now?!). Very pretty. I'm wearing more obviously pretty things to work all the time. That makes me happy, at least till someone asks about it. This is still a man's bracelet, a little thicker than the silver one, but similar in design. It shouldn't prompt any questions. I'm glad that she is plying me with things that I can use in my femme identity.
She asked me tonight about the bags o' clothes that were in my trunk. She wondered if I had done anything with them yet. I told her they were in the garage. She said that she had cleaned most of her old maternity clothes out of one of the hanging closets in the garage, and I was welcome to use that space for my stuff. How cool is that?
I learned today that I will be taking my boy camping Saturday. I have zero experience with this, but I will try to maintain a positive attitude about it. Luckily, it will not be hot, as I would find that intolerable. I'm sure I'll have tales to tell Sunday night.

Thank goodness, the thought of having to take to drink to gain a little intimacy was a bit intimidating. I like to keep a clear head and even then the world seems fuzzy.
ReplyDeleteSorry the birthday lunch was rushed but an improvement on last year!

Well all in all it seems to have been a pretty positive bunch of events. Too bad about having to go back to work after your birthday lunch though.
ReplyDeleteHave fun with the camping. If your son is of Cub Scout age it will probably be sort of tame. Your best bet is to hope they get worn out during the day, otherwise they will probably be up half the night!
Brilliant, all's well! Good for Mrs. L!
ReplyDeleteIf I'm ever caught up on something a little femme that slips out in bloke mode at work I just brazen it out. "Absolutely, out and proud mate!". Works every time, and they can't later say I didn't tell 'em.
Camping? As I once said in jest to Mrs. J: "Camp? I'm trans, not gay!" :)
@Jenny - ROTFL!!
ReplyDelete@Leslie - Never did that camp stuff. Mrs. C would be the one to take my son our with the scouts on overnights.
Think back to last year and how much better this birthday was! You are definitely in a better place,
ReplyDelete@ camping - mention that word and well everyone on this side of the Atlantic begins to think of "Carry on" films, and Kenneth Williams.
But a good trick is to bring insect repellent and a torch- and don't watch any scary movies (Blair witch etc) for the next three days. Also you get an excuse to buy make up removing wipes (Although in an outdoor store they'll be in a macho non- pick wrapper and called something silly like "extreme hand sanitiser sheets", oh and they'll cost double).
@ Jenny- great line- I'm definitely going to steal it

I have to say that I love camping. I havent done it for a few years now but Its is great for a couple of nights.
ReplyDeleteHowever if it rains heavily it can be a bit misserable.
Its so nice you enjoyed your birthday and its even nicer that your wife is starting to adapt to the changes that are going on.
