I did the excessive work thing Saturday …<\/p>\n
Proving once again that it is within my ability to have no life, should I so choose ! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Oh sure, it wasn’t all work … I did the ‘net thing for a bit in the morning, got some counseling from Dr. Singer, gabbed with Claire for the first time in forever (she’s social girl now and apparently I’m just a drag !! \ud83d\ude1b :)) … but for the most part, I got a good 14 or so hours in at the office.<\/p>\n
Then I went back for another 11 hours on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Certainly not a fun weekend.<\/p>\n
But it was productive.<\/p>\n
Between a trial, depositions, jury pick, and a few sentencings … I have a fairly active court week this week …<\/p>\n
And the work was necessary.<\/p>\n
But this evening, as I was preparing to leave …<\/p>\n
I did something I normally don’t do.<\/p>\n
I went to my website …<\/p>\n
And sort of zoned out for a few moments.
\n
\n‘Cause in addition to having a pretty busy week in general,<\/p>\n
My weekend hours were necessitated as I’m wrapping things up here at my office.<\/p>\n
I’ll still have a presence here in some manner for a while,<\/p>\n
And who knows, someday it may resume to the current levels.<\/p>\n
But at the least, it’s going to be different.<\/p>\n
Probably more so for those remaining than for me.<\/p>\n
But it was that feeling of imminent change along with losing myself in just looking at my web page …<\/p>\n
That got me thinking just how far I’ve come.<\/p>\n
There’s no doubt, I’ve been slow, methodical and cautious in taking each step along the way,<\/p>\n
But for me, it feels like it was just last month that I was telling myself,<\/p>\n
“I”ve got to figure out what is wrong with me.<\/i>”<\/p>\n
That it was just last week when I nervously made my first appointment with my gender counselors.<\/p>\n
That it was just a few days ago when I stumbled out the words of disclosure to Ex, Shaft and Singer …<\/p>\n
That it was just yesterday when I started going out and about actively, had ffs …<\/p>\n
And now … I’m staring at fulltimeness.<\/p>\n
As I just gazed at the words AmyNews.com on my screen …<\/p>\n
It was sort of a weird feeling realizing just how much of this many of you have journeyed with me …<\/p>\n
Joining with me as I punch out this mind dump processing my experiences along the way.<\/p>\n
Hoping and expecting a positive ending …<\/p>\n
Figuing I wouldn’t be sharing this otherwise.<\/p>\n
But at the same time,<\/p>\n
Really not knowing for sure.<\/p>\n
And that’s because this is reality …<\/p>\n
You never know for certain what’s going to happen.<\/p>\n
I suppose that’s what makes it interesting …<\/p>\n
