I'm off to BC on the 9th to see my grandma. It's been a while since I saw her, and it'll also be the first time I've seen her since my mother told her I'm male. I'm a little nervous, but mostly not, as she has told my mother that at first she did think it might just be a phase, but after seeing a recent picture of me she decided I look too right and natural as a male to 'grow out of it'. I'm more worried about seeing her boyfriend, as I don't really know him and therefore don't know what to expect... But my mother has met him, and apparently he's pretty awesome, and very clever as well.
So basically, I'll be gone for about a week, and will hopefully have only good things to say when I get back. I AM a bit worried about being stuck in close quarters with my mother for that long (we're sleeping in my grandma's RV while we're there, and driving the car she's giving us back) because in the past we've had troubles not fighting on trips... but I'm a lot calmer since starting T, and have become a bit of a momma's boy *blush* so maybe that'll be ok.
Oh, and another thing I just remembered... we'll also be seeing a lady (a cousin of my mother's, I think) who sounds very interesting. My mother had dinner with her recently, and told her that I was transitioning, so not to be surprised when she saw me (I've never met her, but apparently she saw me a couple times when I was a baby). And awesomely enough her response was to just pause for a moment, think about it, and say "Oh, okay. I'd never thought about that, but it makes sense." and to continue on to say that she'd just tell her husband that my mother had always just had a son, and he must be confused because of his painkillers (due to severe back problems I believe) if he thought otherwise. lol Yet another fine example of the easy-going, surprisigly accepting/understanding nature of my mothers family. They're largely from the yukon and farming families, and their approach to most things seems to be "f*** it, s**t happens... take it as it comes."
