Busier Week
All sorts of things are happening this week.
Today I had my "Parent's Day" breakfast with my accepting daughter. It was very enjoyable, especially when the server finished up our meal with "You ladies have a nice day."
Tomorrow is my monthly visit to my therapist. One of these month's I am going to keep tract of who asked the most questions...her or me. Of course since I don't lead the most exciting life, sometimes there just isn't much to talk about except in the rare instances I am dealing with a lot of anxiety.
It's Pride week here in Cincinnati and Wednesday I have volunteered to help the transgender - cross dresser group I am in with an information table at the local VA hospital. I went last year and it was a very nice event.
Thursday my partner Liz and I are going to the regular monthly dinner for the same group. Hopefully the server who called me "he" last time, get's my gender right this time. If she doesn't, she will hear about it.
Friday, I return to my hair stylist for a trim and shaping of my hair. I think I can go another appointment without having her color it again.
Friday night we have a another spiritual meetup celebrating the longest day of the year.
Finally, Saturday the main Cincinnati LGBTQ Pride parade and festival is taking place. We are all hoping for good weather this year! It's a very long day since we set up and promote our October Witches Ball Halloween Party. Normally though, a good time is had by all.

Happy "Parent's Day"
Today is Father's Day, or Parent's Day as my daughter prefers to call it.
As far as my Dad was concerned, he seemed to follow a trend I saw this morning on the news. Current Fathers spend three times the amount of time with their kids as Dad's did back in 1965. I would have been approximately halfway through high school.
I respected my Dad but I can't say we were ever able to express any love between each other. Our roles seemed to be deeply predefined. Plus we were deeply divided on what was going on in the country in the 60's.
He was a child of the Great Depression and a survivor of World War II. Very much the self made man.
He passed on years ago and to my knowledge never had any idea of my gender problems.
Happy Father's Day Dad!
