So the weekend was lazy and casual, which was quite nice. We had dinner at Aye Carumba with Janna's parents on Saturday night. OMG is their roast pork amazing. Got it in a Burrito and had a pork taco on the side. Wonderful wonderful place. Looks like a cheap lunch place. You even eat on plastic plates. Who would figure? But the food is the best Mexican I've ever had. Fresh tasting and not at all greasy.

It's ridiculous humid today. And our house is being washed prior to painting. So... all the windows are shut up tight as a drum. I can't wait to get home and see what quality of miserable it's managed to get up to after 8 hours. At least it's not sunny. I'll call sometime in the afternoon and see if they're done, maybe I can run home and get some fans going for a few hours before we get home.

I've arranged for a flexible schedule for the first week of August and we're signed up for family week in ptown. I'm really looking forward to it. Both because we can hang around with Wendy, Kelly, and other cool people. But also because the events sound interesting. Of course, they still don't have a schedule up. But hopefully soon. And I shouldn't miss too much from work as I can work flexibly as long as I'm on cape. Last year they had something about transparenting. I know they have a movie going about two FTM dads. A lot of FTMs seem to have kids, but most MTFs seem to only have kids before transition. I'm in a weird situation. I don't think there are a dozen transwomen that have had children after transition.

It's also a little intimidating. While all of my gender based psychological reasons for not becoming a parent are gone, I'm still plenty nervous about becoming a mom. And even more so since it's a bit rushed. There's only so long until the biological clock starts to buzz. It's a huge amount of responsibility.

Life sucks and then life sucks worse...

OK, it is hotter 'n hell here on cape. By that I mean over 80. Which for us here, is way way out of line.

And we are having our house painted and sealed (3/4s of it are unfinished wood shingles--very cape cod). So we needed to have that done and in order to do that we needed to have the house shut up tight as a drum.

OUCH it was going to be hot when I came home.

And it was... but not only was it hot... but something shorted out on an external outlet and half our house is without power. It's like the whole outside outlet is fused together. There are singe marks on our nice freshly washed shingles even. And of course the breaker won't reset.

I'm now typing on a PC connected to an industrial extension cord going into another room... BLAH!
