So annoyed
I had a meeting with my fellow lacrosse coaches for Girl’s team. I played lacrosse way back in the day and I love coaching her team and the little girls’ team too. I played goalie and now I’ll be working with middle school goalies too. I am really excited about that, actually. I generally like…

Dreams become reality…maybe
Today I got the email that I made it to the first round of interviews for that camp job I was interested in. It’s literally one week this summer, but I really REALLY want this. It was one of those video interviews where it asks a question and then you get 60 seconds to formulate…

Shot day
Today is Friday, the day I give myself a tiny injection of testosterone. I’ve been looking forward to this since Wednesday or so. This was my fifth week injecting myself. I don’t mind needles and so the idea of injecting myself wasn’t scary to me. I’ve had no trouble with it, especially because my doctor’s…

Hate or Fear
WIth Ohio House Bill (HB) 68 being hot in the news lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about why it’s such a big deal around the world these past few years. I remember the Caitlyn Jenner stuff in 2015 and the bathroom bill stuff around the same time, maybe a little later. And suddenly here…

They are opening a location nearby! They will need staff and applications open up sometime this month. I am so hopeful that I could get hired for the…

Showing up for myself
Since I started back with my original therapist, we’ve been deep-diving into things, and lately it’s been with my parents. Mostly my father. There’s been new things this year that he’s done, and I’ve also had realizations that we are likely approaching some level of cognitive decline with him. He seems to be having “senior…

Excuse me, sir
Since my surgery, I have been venturing out slowly and steadily. This past weekend I had to go to the pet store to grab some hay for the guinea pig. It was later in the evening than I’ve usually gone there, so I felt a little bit of familiar worry about being out after dark.…

Rounding out November in STYLE
It’s been a rough week in our house. Thanksgiving Day was a marvelous feast thanks to my wife’s amazing cooking. We relaxed, watched the parade in the morning, and I was on top of the clean up all afternoon. We were ahead and everything went really well. Then Friday happened…My wife and Girl set out…

Looking down, backwards, and at the mirror
I am still so unbelievably happy with my surgery results. Other than some stubborn swelling, which I understand will go down eventually and is totally normal, everything is going really well with recovery. I am still not to lift anything over 10 lbs and I need to be careful with how much I extend my…

Out of sync
I’m still recovering from the surgery. The reaction rash is pretty much cleared up and now the areas where my skin turned deep red and slowly fading back to normal color. I finished the steroids on Sunday and ended up in a good bit of pain later that day. It feels like I’ve taken a…
