Mostly pretty good! I got a drink with a friend from work on Friday, which was fun and I think we’ll do again with some other work friends soon. I told him I was transitioning, and he immediately offered to write me a letter of support if I decide to fully come out at work and there are any problems. I feel fortunate to have as great of friends as I do 🥰
My wife was gone for the weekend, so I mostly have just been deep cleaning the house. Didn’t get as much done as I had hoped I would, but that’s always how it goes.
I watched I Saw The TV Glow for the first time last night, and holy shit. It is so good, but also it hit me so hard, oof, I still have an emotional hangover. I definitely need to rewatch it, but I need some time to recover first 😂 it looks like Jane Schoenbrun has a new movie coming out like right now though, so I’m going to try to see that soon
My wife and I just watched I Saw the TV Glow last week. It definitely hits hard but I feel like it would've absolutely wrecked me if I was still closeted lol
