My journey towards femininity, with all the bumps in the road. Who knows where this road will lead? But it certainly will be a prettier road, and one well worth traveling.

Thanksgiving - And nothing got in the way to mar it except traffic.
I'm not sure of what I can and should say about today. Nothing bad happened. But part of me would rather have stayed in Westchester and taken advantage of an invite I had to spend the day with my friends from Game Night.

Not sleeping well last night, I set the alarms to get me moving around 11 - and slept through my favorite TV show of the day. I prefer the fictional courtroom drama of Perry Mason to the real life political drama going on today. There is a part of me that always wants to see justice done, and real life doesn't provide enough of that for my taste. By the time I finally got out the door, it was 1 pm, and I was about an hour late.
My drive to Long Island was uneventful until I reached the Bronx. From there, traffic slowed to a crawl, and I was forced to get on side streets to make it to the bridge. Once I was across the bridge, I went back onto side streets again to make it to my brother's place, arriving there at 3 pm, when I was expected at 2. This was not a problem, as my brother had already picked up my dad from the nursing home, and the turkey was almost cooked.
We chatted about many things, and brought my dad back to the nursing home around 8. One area of discussion covered addiction, choice of mate, and how relationships flounder. And that gave me an opening to discuss my criteria for choosing my late wife, my issues with Ex-GF-M, and some of the issues GFJ and I are having with each other. (By my mention of complacency in the relationship, I avoided the need to talk about my transgender nature.) He touched on similar issues he had with his wife. And we both (at different times) brought up our problems with my niece to make sure that she knows when to cut and run from a dysfunctional relationship.
Eventually, it was time to go home. And I hit only one small traffic jam on the way home. On the whole, it was a good day - especially, since my brother was able to open up to me and that I didn't have to see my sister in law as expected. (Nothing against her, save that her presence would have gotten in the way of my chat with my brother.)
