Yesterday after work I felt the need to work some more so I vacuumed and shampooed the truck. It was to get rid of old man winters presence. Anyway as I was finishing up I noticed my neighbor from across the street had come over and was looking at the "flower bed". Now my transition has been the talk of the neighborhood and she had spoke to me about it so here I am in a tank top, 42C, butt in the air and head down on the floor . Now she ask the cursory questions on the flowers and then pumped me about the transformation. She and her husband (prosecuting attorney) have lived in the neighborhood for a number of years and this seemed odd and yet sweet. Very supportive.
Now having these thoughts through the day I stopped for a take and bake pizza and ran into a co-worker from a previous employeer, (26 yrs ago), and struck up a conversation. In parting with our orders she gave me a huge hug and said I looked great.
It is these moments when one just has to sit back smile and share with her girl friends. Okay now go clean the bathroom.
