Progress

Saturday, I had about ten attendees for my presentation at the virtual Transgender Lives Conference. 

It was such a beautiful spring day that is was a shame that the conference wasn’t live on the beautiful grounds of the UConn Health Center, its normal live venue, But wait ’til next year – the conference will be live in 2023 as long as the plague doesn’t get out of hand again.

Naturally, I got dressed up for the conference. I just wore a little old something from Calvin Klein that I found in my closet. The good news is that I wore 3.5-inch heels throughout the day and I was none the worse for wear. Therapy, exercise, cherry juice and glucosamine seem to be working and I am now painless most of the time.

I am very happy with my recovery so far. A month ago, I never thought I would walk in heels again. It has been a long road back and now I am looking forward to getting out again and again. 

I am surrounded by museums and art galleries, so I am considering volunteering at one of these venues if they’ll have me. A regular gig en femme would be a dream come true and a great way to do something during my retirement besides hanging  around the house watching Let’s Make a DealThe Price is Right and reruns of The Office.

  1. Knocked out of the park again with your ensemble! And yes, I really hope you can volunteer at a gallery or something!

  2. Much as I'm tiring of all those shows with a 3-judge panel, I could survive another if it were one of those European drag performance shows. Not the Asian ones with a gaggle of "panelists" that sound more like a flock of Mynah birds! RuPaul could do with some competition.

  3. Stana, I've found being a volunteer usher at some Baltimore theaters a rewarding experience. Even more rewarding is my gig as a docent in one of those theaters. Unlike you, I couldn't pull it off as my female alter-ego, and don't even try. But you could easily do it. So look at docent tasks. It's a great combination of being a tour guide and a teacher. After one of my tours I can still feel the adrenaline and pleasure of the event for hours after the tour. It's fun and very rewarding!

    Aside from all the AM TV blather...
    Wife and I do watch "THE VIEW" every morning on ABC broadcast TV.
    Time well spent.
    Especially when the entire panel of ladies (including the one lone conservative) beats up 'ol TeeRump.
