fishing!

On Wednesday, I went fishing with Betty, her uncle, her uncle's friend, and Julz. We met up with Uncle Jim at his Taco del Mar in Kirkland. We were about an hour behind schedule, but he still treated us to lunch at his restaurant. We took it to go and gorged ourselves on tacos in the van. He drove us up to Mukilteo and then we got on a ferry to Whidbey Island. To get better fishing spots, Uncle Jim lent us his hip waders (I can't believe I forgot to take pictures!). Betty and Uncle Jim tutored me on the proper salmon fishing technique. I am still an embarassingly novice fisher, but it was super fun. Of course, my fishing pole fell apart and I had to reach into the water for the reel. Consequently, my waders filled up with freezing cold, next-to-Canada water. There was no way to get it out besides stripping down all the way so I had to wait till everyone was done and I could go to the restroom. We also got to see a huge gray whale close to the shore; super majestic. Betty, Julz, and I didn't catch anything so Uncle Jim gave us his fish. We took it back to my place and devoured it. I even got to pull out all the guts :D

Internet disconnection

I am temporarily without Internet at home. Sorry for the pause in the blogging especially since I've got some good stuff to share. Currently I'm on the way to go fishing. Yay!

The blog is moving...

Forget the previous post below regarding Tumblr.  The new blog is here: http://sparkledenimleather.blogspot.com/.  Sorry for the confusion!

Since I am no longer having an expat adventure, I have decided to continue my blogging on Tumblr.  You can check out my new stuff at SparkleDenimLeather.  I will be posting photos and interesting things I find. If you want to keep up with my more journal-like posts, go to the Extended Thoughts section on my Tumblr.

Thanks everyone for your interest and support :)

tranny doctor visit do-over

Last Friday I went to the Country Doctor in Seattle to begin medical transition in the U.S. I love this place! Everyone is super nice and tranny-friendly. I have developed unrealistic anxiety over anything bureaucratic because of being ignorant, illegal, and language challenged in Barcelona. This last visit was so pleasant and very low barrier for me as I am uninsured and unemployed. I have my letter from my therapist and I took a blood test to make sure everything was ok. The results came back earlier this week and I had very high triglycerides. I am back this morning to do a fasting test. Hopefully that was just a fluke and there is not actually anything wrong with me. I'm hanging out in the waiting room at the moment.

FYI I am now on Tumblr (SparkleDenimLeather.Tumblr.com).
