NOTE: This is a repeat. Your hostess is wandering the desert…
The next day, November 20, 2021, I was dragging a bit from a late night at the bar. I woke myself up with a five mile run and then took my time getting dressed to grab lunch with a few friends. We had a blast!
About midafternoon, we had a lovely Vanity Club dinner.
We then headed to a local comedy club for what ended up being an amazing act by a mindreader. We again returned to the hotel bar and much more fun, renewed friendships, laughs and wonderful conversations. I was exhausted from the weekend but uplifted by the wonderful women I met and saw again.
2025 Update: I will look fondly on these days, but I have been missing so many real-world friends that have disappeared for one legitimate reason or another and frankly, I can’t do it anymore. Yes, in life in general we have these issues, but in “this” life, it is on hyper speed. I don’t have the emotional bandwidth anymore. I have been asked by a few if I will be attending and so far, I am sticking by my guns and will not be there. Via con Dios my sisters! Love you all to pieces, I will not be missed. The big wheel that is life keeps on turning.

Your such a warm and friendly personality no wonder you have so many wonderful and interesting experiences. Your just a beautiful feminine woman.
I appreciate the love Sue Anne!!
Kandi,
As always you look magnificent. I know that you really enjoy your outings, just wish that I could go along.
The pictures of your girlfriends are delightful and you can tell everyone is having a fantastic time.
Are you going to run the marathon in girly mode?

P.S. love the brown sweater outfit.
Davina, marathons are very hard. Doing so dressed would only make it harder! I don’t talk about it much here, but I am equally comfortable in my male life and very much like to compete.
Your compliments are so sweet!! Thank you darling.
What a great weekend! I love reading about your fun adventures. Thanks for sharing.
Many more adventures coming soon! Thanks Donna!!
I just love your taste in clothes, the red dress is just beautiful and the slacks and sweater perfect
Sherry oh my what cute pants
Being a girl can defiantly be fun no doubt
Hugs Rachael
Thanks Rach. I do enjoy my fashions!!
Kandi,
Your 2025 update is very interesting , especially the comment , ” I will not be missed !” I’m sure your presence or lack of it has left a hole in some people’s lives . I haven’t been to a social meeting for some years now do I miss them ? Yes and no . It was a period in my transgender journey that I needed to travel through , I’m furher down the road but I do miss certain friends . I know they couldn’t travel with me , they chose to end their journey before me . The one sad part is my door has remained open to them but most don’t have the confidence to be that public , they prefer safety in numbers .
I also wondered about the comment , ” I don’t have the emotional bandwidth anymore “. I admit I have been more hurt by members of that community , at times on that journey we can be very vulnerable , our emotions are all over the place , some take full advantage of that , so I guess my emotional bandwidth has narrowed within that community . Otherwise I care more for the people who now fill my life , the one wonderful revelation has been that people want me in their lives as Teresa .
