The house is less chaotic now and we are
working hard trying to turn it into a comfortable home. We both love this place. Eventually it will look presentable. In the meantime I am drinking lots of coffee attempting to generate the false energy required to
overcome my lingering inertia. T is a self-propelled man machine, doing
things all the time. He is constantly putting
together shelves, fixing this and that, shelving books, moving boxes, driving hither and
yonder buying things. He mows the
lawn an awful lot! I am not
even sure it needs to be mowed, but if it makes him happy to start up the mower
and move it around the yard, who
am I to judge? I only know he is
one happy man to have a home again. And if T is happy, I am happy. Thank God for testosterone. I have a couple of work friends who have transitioned from female to
male in recent years and they both said how energetic and happy they became
once they started getting testosterone in their system. Not fair!!!!
We spent so much time trying to maintain our sanity and keep ourselves sedate (if not sedated) while we were in the trailer. Now that we are in the house I think the dam has broken because emotions abound. I know I have been a raving maniac for at least part of the past three weeks. Anyway, the worst is over and we are doing well. AND we are still married. Amazing. We are both so happy to have our own spaces once again. It makes me wonder how pioneer couples could stand each other living in one room, dirt floor log cabins with a bunch of kids. I am quite sure they were all driven mad by proximity poisoning.
We finally got the pool fixed and operational yesterday. Yay!!! Today our new washer and dryer will be delivered. Yay!!!
T just got done mowing the lawn (!) and then left to drive to a hardware store to get some “stuff.” I will confess that I forgot what he said he was going there for. Not that I wasn’t listening. Anyway, I really should get off the computer and start unpacking a box or two. As all you ladies know, in the absence of testosterone GUILT becomes the great motivator.

Hmm, I think I'd rather read a book, pick up pieces of a jigsaw puzzle fallen on the floor, make a list? Resolve to call the electrician/carpenter/painter/yardman maybe tomorrow? How is Buddy? TW is doing whatever he wants, hope you are also!
