I know it’s been a really long time since I last posted so this will be a catch up type post.
Life has been a little hectic for the past couple of months. Hell, it’s taken me over a week to write just this one post. I’ve been working 2 jobs for a little over 2 months now and between the 2 jobs, I haven’t had a day off since August 10th. During that time, I’ve also moved into a new place. Didn’t realize just how hard it is to move until I was working 2 jobs and had practically no free time. Lucky for me that my brother was really bored waiting for school to start again and wanted to take the train up to help me. Not sure how I would have done it without his help…
The place I managed to find is so awesome! For starters, it is a house instead of an apartment and it has a large garden space as well as a good sized front yard. Plenty of cabinet space everywhere. Just installed the ceiling fan and light (that I’ve had since I was living in Medford) in the bedroom last night. I think all the critters are happier where we are at now. It’s set in a quiet neighborhood just a few blocks from a middle school and there aren’t people tramping above us or up and down the stairs. Piper is definitely much calmer and more relaxed. I live closer to one of my coworkers and every week before I have to go to work downtown, we take Piper and her dogs for a walk and swim at a nearby park. Piper’s borrowing a life jacket from one of the vets I work with and will actually swim without panicking now! It’s so nice to see him enjoy the water. I’ve always wanted a dog that loves the water – granted, he’s not there yet but he gets closer every time he goes. So much more confident with the life jacket on…
I’ve now passed 2 years on testosterone. I can’t believe that much time has already gone by but at the same time, so much has happened in those 2 years. I called in my next refill and this time I didn’t have any bullshit from the doctor’s office. Didn’t even get a phone call asking me to come in for my 6 month checkup. Funny thing is now I’m slightly paranoid something’s going to happen as I’ve had nothing but issues every time I’ve called in a refill.
I haven’t really noticed any more changes from the testosterone. I don’t have the big woah, holy crap! type changes anymore. I’m still getting more hair and continue to build muscle. Everything seems to be progressing at a fairly steady pace. Working the 2 jobs I have, I’ve been losing more weight but in a healthy way. I’ve been eating healthier (most of the time) and I am definitely getting exercise in. With any luck, I’ll be where I’d like to be physically by the time I can have surgery. It would be wonderful accomplish 2 goals at once.
I think that is probably the extent of what has been going on here. Nothing too exciting it would seem.
