This time of year is meant to be filled with joy and family get-togethers, but not everyone has family or anything to be happy about. So are you ok?

    For the first time in years…yeah, I’m OK.

    I’ve got my husband, and I’ve got in-laws who love me, and my friends and the members of my family who still talk to me recognize that I like having g small, quiet holidays so they haven’t forced me to attend any huge superspreader events.

    Tonight I’m buying ingredients for gingerbread cookies which I haven’t made since I was like 7, and I’m going to make my dad’s snickerdoodle recipe now that, after over a decade of tears and estrangement, he’s accepted the fact that I’m trans.

    Things are nice. They’re not perfect, no, but they’re nice.

      I’d be interested in that snickerdoodle recipe if you feel like sharing :)

      I’m glad you’re doing better. Found family is still family, but it sure is nice when the one you’re born into accepts who you are.
