It’s been almost ten years since I started my first blog. Looking at my first post, my anniversary is coming up on the 13th, a week from today. Though those first posts are no longer available to the public, I have the archived to peruse at my leisure. Reading them now, well, it’s actually pretty … Continue reading

Another year older
Friday is my birthday, and another year has passed me by. I will have gone around the star we call the Sun for the forty-fourth time, and I find myself alone, living in a small apartment, wondering where things went wrong. Perhaps the reality is that everything went right, and this is where I’m supposed … Continue reading
New Year, Same Stef?
I know it’s a bit belated, but Happy New Year! It’s finally 2020 and all I can say is where the hell did all the time go? Didn’t Y2K just happen? When did I get this old? Why is my eyesight turning to shit? Why am I always tired? Okay, I may be playing up … Continue reading
Another year
I’m not getting any younger. Come Wednesday, I’ll be another year older, and I can feel the years creeping up on me. It’s not entirely unpleasant, except I’m not as limber and agile as I once was. Also my sight isn’t what it used to be. Also I ache more. I don’t seem to bounce … Continue reading
Giving thanks
Thanksgiving is less than a week away. Are you ready? For me, working in retail, it’s all about getting ready for the next big event. Right now I’m focused on getting ready for Black Friday, the greatest of American retail holidays. The public will descend en masse to take advantage of the great values retailers … Continue reading
Some thoughts over coffee
I’m sitting in a coffee shop, getting ready for another NaNoWriMo. I posted a blog on my writer’s page, but I though I’d write a few things here as well. The competition won’t begin for another six and half hours, and I’m not one to cheat and start early, but I will start blogging about … Continue reading
Losing the thrill
I no longer feel the need to post as often as I used to. I guess it’s a bit of a win, though I confess that it makes me a little sad. The divide between my two halves, the male and the female, has lessened and has become my new normal. I no longer fear … Continue reading
Adventures in Dallas
Yesterday took me and my friend into downtown Dallas, specifically the Dallas Museum of Art. Amy has been wanting to take me to the museum for years, and I’ve wanted to go, but it’s never happened. I wanted to go as Stefani, and I hadn’t developed the nerve to go out until now. We had … Continue reading
It’s work becoming me
So far this has been an illuminating experience. I have spent the whole of my vacation thus far in Stefani mode, embracing my inner self. It’s kind of exhausting. I know you cis-women are rolling your eyes at me, and I can’t blame you if you are, but damn this is tiring. Getting up, shaving, … Continue reading
Boomerang roadtrip
What a week! Last week was inventory week at my employer, and anyone who has ever worked retail knows just how horrible the inventory process is, particularly if you are a manager or a supervisor. Lots of work, long hours, little sleep. Worked Thursday until midnight, having to return to work at five in the … Continue reading
