Merry Christmas to everyone

and to me specifically.

My awkwardly placed doctor's appointment yesterday at 2pm was annoying and I had decided to drive up and back in a day. Despite a little snow on the ground, the drive was easy and fast both ways and now I have a prescription for testosterone! I'm pretty excited and I've been trialing my new name more. Am I male? no, but this is more the direction I want to be perceived. I'm hoping starting it now will make things easier for moving and potentially for future changes due to federal administration. I'm waiting on paperwork to change my name because of the future move and giving up on the gender marker for now.

It is injections, which a nurse will teach me about and I'm nervous about. I am not afraid of needles, they're fine as a concept and I can give shots to goats and sheep just fine. But I highly dislike needles in me, so we'll see if I can get over that dislike or if they'll need to switch up the type.

Merry Christmas to the folks that celebrate! May you be cozy warm and eat lots of delicious food
