This would likely end any travel to Texas that wasn't a dire emergency. And even then, if I could work it remotely, I would.

I wish Woods still made these power decks. I have three and they're just the perfect configuration for large plugs and regular plugs. They stopped the gaming branding after a while then the form factor completely disappeared from their site.

I wasn't able to go out Thursday to celebrate my Twenty Fifth Tranniversary, so I did it tonight.

Happy 25th Jenn. Here's to 25 more in whatever country I end up by 2050.

I rarely throw things away until they literally fall apart. Over the last week, my diamond print bed sheets, which I've had since the mid 90s and that you may gave seen in countless pictures of toys I've laid out on my bed, has fallen apart.

May the new bedsheets last just as long.

Memorable Lines From The 25 Years Since I Transitioning:

"You dress like mom." "Of course I do. Have you SEEN how she dresses?!"

"But you were born a guy!" "Not on purpose."

"This is a three month supply of the testoserone blocking Spiranolactone. If my demands are not met, I will release it into the local water supply...."

Twenty Five Years Ago, about six months into living as a woman in Austin. I love that outfit.

#jenns25th

Twenty Five years ago, on March 6th, 2000, I walked into my job at Kinko's and began living my life as a woman.

I wouldn't start hormones for about six more months. I had been living more as a woman than a man since 1997, been living occasionally as a woman since 1993, and cross dressing since the 80s.

I wish I could say things have gotten better since March 6th 2000, but it's not. But today, I will celebrate 9131 days of survival, and worry about surviving another day tomorrow.
