Okay, I know, it’s been a hell of a long time to go without at least posting some kind of explanation and for that I sincerely apologise.
You should know, though, that it wasn’t my intention to leave things this long – it’s just the unfortunate way that things happened, I’m afraid.
So, what’s the story you ask?
Well, it was basically down to two things. Firstly, my mother being taken ill. Early last year she had to go into hospital but, at the time, it didn’t appear to be “too” serious. Obviously, this didn’t turn out to be the case in the longer term as after several, and increasingly more frequent, visits from paramedics and late-night trips to hospital, she sadly died in April this year.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, in the middle of all this I was called in to see the doctor and given the news that I was diabetic! Deep joy! At least it’s only Type 2, so no insulin required but still …
Since then I’ve been trudging on with my life, as one does. I hadn’t even thought about dressing in the past year or so; and, shamefully, I probably thought about this blog even less. Some would say rightfully so, but having thought about it a lot in the past couple of weeks, I think not.
I think I may have missed out on a great deal of support. Don’t get me wrong, family and friend have all been fantastic and I feel lucky to have them. It’s just that I think that other dimension of support outside of that environment – as well as writing about it – might have got me to this point a lot quicker.
Maybe. Who knows?
All I know is that I’m about ready to jump back into the maelstrom that is my feminine self and continue this journey into the great unknown that is ‘the future’!
Oh, and just so you know … it wasn’t all doom and gloom.
Due to the diabetes, I sorted out my diet and I actually am feeling a lot better. I also lost some weight, which is always good. Also, I was offered a new job that, so far, is going far better than I hoped.
So there it is, people. The explanation.
In future I’ll endeavour to put up a post if something’s going on that could potentially mean another period of absence.
I will be tidying up around here in the next couple of days – some of the links and stuff may need updating / removing. I’ve had some comments that had been waiting a while to be approved and I apologise to you if yours was one of them. They are all now approved and will reply personally in due course.
So now I’m off to do some research on the latest going’s on in the transgender scene and will post something worthy of your attention!
Until then, people, be good to one another … and if you can’t be good, be careful!
