It's hard to believe that I've only met Stephanie once in person. Yet, the two of us have developed a friendship thanks to Zoom and the Pandemic.
Today, Stephanie reminded me that we were supposed to have a zoom meeting this evening. So, I set it up, and proceeded to get showered and dressed to spend the evening as Marian. I ended up rushing to get to the post office before it closed, as I had a box to send to Pat at her care facility in Rockland county. In the box was a photo shopped picture of my two gender presentations together, as if two separate people had posed for a formal picture on a cruise.
Once done with the post office, I decided to take a drive to Uncle Giuseppe's in Yorktown, to see how the store's new location looks. And they did a great job with the space. In the past, it housed a "Food Emporium" before A&P took over Shopwell and other smaller chains, causing the space to be empty for years. Now, the store is much better than any of the supermarkets that previously occupied the space.
After killing time, I returned home and opened the zoom meeting with Stephanie. As usual, we talked for a long time. Although she would like for me to come down and visit, I don't think I'll be visiting Texas anytime soon. Texas is not a place where a TG like me can feel comfortable, given all the Radical Conservatives one finds down there. The last thing I need is someone trying to cause me problems because I violated their "bathroom laws".
Sooner or later, I will have to get around to visiting Stephanie. Only one problem - how can I make it worthwhile for RQS to accompany me on the trip? Also, how would we describe our relationship with each other?
