I Never Thought It Would Happen To Me.................
Well It finally happened to me. What happened to me you say......Well I'll tell ya.
Once upon a time.... In a town not so far away..... There was a TG girl out doing some chores. She Went to pick up a leather dress and jacket she had dropped at the seamstress just before her 20th high school reunion last year. She after she lost her job later that year could not afford to pay her so she waited for better days.
She got all dolled up drove from her home in Burnaby B.C. to Richmond B.C. to pick them up. She picked them up then went to a store that she Love's very much. She is a plus size girl but this place has great stuff. The year before she picked up a great green dress and fit better then any other dress she has ever owned.
She walked into the store and said Hi to the SA who knows her well. The SA said "Hi Christina long time no see." She said " Hi Hun. I'm looking for a dress like the one I'm wearing now, do you have any in today". The SA says " Why yes but not the same flower pattern". Christina says "Oh that fine I am just looking for the same fit and Material as this one".
To make a long shopping story short. She found 2 dresses and 1 skirt and top very much like the one she was wearing. Christina was very very happy with the new stuff cuz she had not been able to shop since last year.
She was in her job just getting out of the hole she was in and things were looking up.......But soon dark force's will conspire against her to make that harder to see and get to...............
Well she needed to pay her accountant and she had her GST rebate. She was driving over to surrey to go see them and pay them , when at a light IT HAPPENED.........
She stepped on the gas of her 1980 Corvette and she heard a small bang and she came to a stop. Now this kind of stuff happens alot. She breaks U joints . She had broke 4 since she got the car in 2002. To much power not strong enough U joints. But this was not the same. I felt to her like the transmission.
About 5 years ago she had a prob with the trans when she (in drab before she started to live her live like she wanted and needed to) felt a similar thing happen. It turned out to be the linkage for the shifter. It fell off and ploped into the tranny oil pan. The shop fixed it up while she waited and that was is. She thought it was the same this time , but maybe a linkage broke this time .
Well she got out of the car and looked under the car careful not to mess up her dress , and saw nothing hanging down or broke. So she opened the car door and started to try to push the car to the side of the road.
(now if you ever have had to push a car you know how hard it can be , plus is was a slite up hill and She was in her 4 In boots. Well she started to push but she did not have the footing to push. Lucky a women and right behind her and another guy got out of there cars and helped her get the car out of traffic. The girl got in the car and Christina and the guy pushed cuz the women had a bad back.
She is not out of the way Fully so she thinks maybe one gear will work. She puts the car in 1st gear and the car moves. Not in 2nd or 3rd. Reverse works to , but she does not want to do more harm to the tranny so she drives to the Home hardware and call's her shop. She calls them and they give her a number of a good tow Co and they get there with in an hour. She waits there and the man gets there and puts the car on the flat bed truck and takes her and her car to the shop.
When they get there she goes in to talk to the shop owners and tells him what happened . He tells her that it sounds like the tranny is shot. Well she is not sure but she has been a customer there for years and knows that they are not cheats. Well she needed to get home the accounting all but forgotten , she would either have to get a cab or ,this was a cheaper and better idea to take the Sky Train home.
She has rode the skytrain maybe about 12 times in her life and the station in like one block from Corvette Specialties , so she decides to do that. It would be her first time on a train dressed and she loves firsts!!!!!
Knowing the 1 Km walk she will have to walk to get home she grabs her things out of the car and put it into a shopping bag and walks to the sky train. She is not to upset about her car , but she knows if it is the tranny she will have to pay up to 2000 dollars. But she is not just a (glass half full , But she is the type to say , Wow I have a glass) kind of girl. And the firsts she was having out weights the cost.
She does not know what to expect with the sky train but she is not worried about it at all. A man at the shop gave her a ride pass that he just used and is good for another hour. So she does not have to pay to get home Sweet.
She gets on the train and rides it home. She glances up from time to time to (see) if people are looking at her just for (Shits and Giggles) , and sees one guy about 20 or so. He keeps looking away when she looks up. So she sneaks a peek and she sees he is staring at her. She thinks ,"Is her staring at me cuz he is likes me or does he read me". she does not care if he read her , but would like to know if he likes her. No way of knowing. She looks around to see if any women are looking at her and that would be a no . Just the guy , DRAT , She was hopping a girl would hit on her but figures that the train is not the place to find a date lol.
She get off at her stop and walks to the elevator ,YA YA YA She knows what your thinking she should have taken the stairs but the thing is she has never rode in on before dressed so there's that.
Well the walk for her to her home was uneventful and that was the story of a day full of firsts.
.........Ok let's review.
1)It was her first time breaking down in her car , dressed ,
2)her first time having people help her move her car like she has done many time (in drab) for other people,
3)her first ride in a tow truck dressed ,
4)her first ride on the sky train dressed ,
5)and her first elevator ride, dressed.
Ok enough of the telling a story in the 3rd person. LOL. I have since picked up my car and it cost me $1945 for a new tranny. When I picked the car up I was in drab so nothing new there. It may have cost me lots of money that I don't have but at least I did have new experiences to show for it......Plus 3 new outfits that I just love to death. I'm wearing one of my new dresses that I got today.
In fact I was doing my laundry today in my new dressed but no makeup or wig , just Mike in a dress and bra with forms. After I did my laundry I heard a thump form out side of my Apt door ,(the laundry room is 4 doors away from my door) , but the storage locker is right next door to my apt. I walked out to see this old Korean lady and she asked me where the locker rooom was. Well I showed her and then heard her walk past my door again not 2 min later and I went out to see her with a confused look on her face and she said "Is there another locker room , this is not my locker in there." I said oh there's another room off to the left." We walked back to the locker room and I showed her where it was and she thanked me and went in. WOW that was the first time anyone has seen me (aside from Roberta M) to see me in a dress with no makeup or wig. It was almost like the first time I went out dressed. What a rush...... I might get the nerve to do that one day (go shopping being dressed from the neck down) But not today.
Well Boys and girls that's what happened to me.....And I thought I would never brake down in my car and have a great adventure like that.
Then next thing that would be neat would be to get pulled over by the cops. Of course I don't mean the ticket but just the talking to the cop part .
I hope you enjoyed this tale. All of witch was true and lots of fun, save for the paying of the $1945. That felt like. But other then that
