I went today to get my Covid and flu vaccines. The pharmacy was surprisingly busy for mid-day. I wasn’t the only one there for vaccines either.

Ma’am
23 MarSalesman just came to door trying to sell carpet cleaning. Even though I almost certainly have 5 o’clock shadow, he opens with “How are you doing ma’am?” 😀   So I guess this day is not totally fired.
BTW: All wood floors here.
Another first
1 MaySo I got propositioned tonight. Homeless drunk wanted to sleep with me. Oh, he built up to it, but he went there. That’s another first for me.

As we were leaving, I told them about Janet. They recognized my photo from Facebook, and apparently had not connected the photo to my male persona, Ernie. I think that’s a good thing. It means that I really do look different as Janet than I do as Ernie. So long as I am closeted, that’s good.
Passing in public
23 JunA lot is made of the ability to ‘pass’ in public. Today, I went one step further than just passing. I hadn’t actually planned to go out today, but I got up and dressed anyway. It’s important to get dressed every day when you work from home, or working becomes really hard to do. Dressing gets you in the correct mind set. Continue reading
