Well this diary has
served it's purpose, pointless carrying on, I go weeks
now without feedback, though it wasn't really written
to entertain others, I know a few still read here

the jet lag is wearing me down . 13th May .. an unpleasant meeting
at work. |
Diary .. weeks 233 -
236 (21-05-09 to 17-06-09)

Things are getting unpleasant at work
.. I'm sure the pressure is to drive me out .. probably .. maybe I'm
paranoid, but I am over worked !!.
Still not got to grips with this new format .. LOL
.. but the lack of just notes some days shows how
hard work is making my life.
7th July .. my
doctor says I'm stressed and depressed .. she's
put me back on Prozac .. she's going to monitor me
more closely now.

26th July pictures of
our new car, pre delivery .. check that colour out in the
close up .. very feminine .. in a violet way
..
28th
July .. I saw another GP .. he's doubled my dose
of Prozac as it's not achieved the desired effect
.. 31st July .. maybe the prozac is now working ..
the easiest dilation for about 8 weeks .. my
spirits are lifted.
|
Diary .. weeks 245 - 248
(13-08-09 to 09-09-09)
|
The
doubled dose of Prozac is working for me, helped
no doubt by my company realizing I was
cracking under the strain. Dilation's are easier
and I'm sleeping a lot better, hopefully the
unwinding viscous circle will help me settle and
get back off the Prozac soon. Me in my bikini on Bob's boat!!

rushed to hospital from home in agony with my
chest ..

so they can invite transphobic sister in law Tracy
and her taught to be transphobic kids for most of
day .. nice, thanks .. but I'm invited to foot bill
for £60 a head restaurant for three hours attendance
in evening .. Karen and her Dad didn't think that
fair either in any respect.

19/01/10 .. A few people have emailed me in
the last week asking me to continue or at least
make a statement about things. To be honest I've
lost heart in this now, I've been keeping a few
basic notes some days but not a lot. More
worrying news on the 11th hasn't helped
either. So I've uploaded what I have ..

The news from today's meeting seems to confirm
everything Karen told me new years morning .. I
feel so low, everything I've worked for, for US,
over the last 27+ years is lost .. well 50% of it
and all my future hopes .. that's it.
20/02/10 .. Things seem less black
.. there is hope for "us" yet I feel as we try
to plan some positive changes we both want ..
the reality, for what ever reason .. is .. we do
need each other.

this coming .. well actually I did .. for a long
time I've known my MD has had it in for me, with his
health affecting stress and pressure .. but I'm not
going to take this laying down .. I'm losing the
plot here with this .. I've got to simplify this.
As a result the last few weeks here are a bit patchy

Ok I'm working on de personalising of the
manouvering that happen at "the old place" prior
to my redundancy leading to me being ushered out
early with the benefits from the redundancy ..
this will be the next page to arrive .. and it's
not been seen before .. it shows the bad side
of UK business in dealing with "truth" and
side issues when a transperson is involved ..

A
new start to my life from 24/07/10 .. what no work
related stress, no on call 24/7/365* !!!

new .. very little of that in the future for sure
!!! I'm being allowed to leave their employment

lifted, looking towards the new job and a bought

06/09/10 .. The start date of my new
job .. this seems to be the current dream
organisation to work for, just as ITN was when they
employed me in 1982. I'm taking a slight hit on
salary for 6 months but then I'll be back to the
same .. not with 15 years of service behind it
either .. the other news is that Karen is in love
with me again .. I feel I've won the lottery .. time
to look for my yacht too !!!! A 2nd honeymoon in
Devon.

Well the new job is working out to be
fabulous .. I'd go as far to say this is the
ultimate employer in radio at the moment. The slight
cut in pay is sooo worth it .. I'm being set up for
training courses here and there and I'm asked to go
on my first major overseas trip to do some work near
Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada .. I flew out 26th
September and left Canada on the 6th October .. gave
me a chance to visit Jamie & Vic in Canmore too
over the weekend.

my left foot the following morning ..
Well I had a real
shock this month .. "Bob the boat" was found dead
on board the boat .. it was a heart attack .. his
funeral, held in my village where his family had
owned 3 houses and lived here for 40 years, was
very moving .. the church was almost
full .. about 175 people.

After 4 visits to hospital, still in
agony with my left foot .. and I'm seriously
dangerous on crutches .. to myself and anyone in
landing distance << grimace >> .. but my
new company management have bent over backwards to
make my life as easy and comfortable as possible ..
can't think that my old company would have done the
same somehow in those later months.

06/12/10 .. Back to work without my
"air boot" ( or human wheel clamp as I call it ) ..
it's a relief but things are very strange .. the
foot is sore still, I need to wear shoes with plenty
of "toe cleavage" to avoid pressure on top of my
foot, my left ankle and knee are quite "stiff".
09/12/10 .. 6
years on HRT .. sometimes time seems to be running
double time !!!
The Christmas season is here .. lots of socialising
seems to be having a serious bad effect on my weight
.. I've got to learn self restraint when it comes to
food .. << sighs >> .. Christmas weekend
is good +1lb!!.

myself and Karen our first brand new laptop. After
years of using old laptops from work that were being
replaced due to being out of date .. I've bit the
bullet and bought a Toshiba A660 - 1DZ. It's got a
16" led backlit screen and a Blue Ray burner built
in.

Claire's issues are still a constant
worry to us, there seems to be little improvement in
her mind . . which is holding her back. At Easter I

things .. like the garage and the house. We
splash out on a new "deluxe" gas barbecue made by
Broil King .. a Crown 70 Stainless .. simple
beginnings with sausages .. lovely !!

This is the index for my
Diary pages. As with any diary, it's a work in
progress. This diary is my outlook on family life,
work life and the rest of the baggage I'm carrying as
I go forward though hormone treatment towards
transition and beyond. My experiences as my body and
mind are altered by the hormones will be recorded.
I'll try and be as open as possible, if you know me
and have seen my other site bits, you'll realize I am
pretty open and honest about things. Some of the
serious personal stuff I may choose to omit if my wife
says so .. names of friends and colleagues who do not
know about me I'll only use their initials to protect
identities ... specially mine .. till they know .. I
have to be very careful till I am "out" fully at work.
