While going through my stuff I came across some old calendars from the late 90s \/ early 00s (my calendars are something I do always hold onto, as I have a bit of a sometimes-bad habit of reflecting on the past).  Looking through them I could really get a sense of how lost and adrift I often felt back in those days.  At that time I still didn&#8217;t really know what to do about being a crossdresser and had only made some tentative steps to start dressing more seriously.  For work I was doing a lot of set construction for TV commercials and  conventions (in Colorado).  Life really wasn&#8217;t awful but it felt aimless and unfocused and I was pretty unhappy.  And I really had no idea what I&#8217;d be up against when I finally made my first move to Los Angeles in 2001.  Those first few years in L.A., in comparison, made drifting along in Colorado Springs seem like a good time.  <\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s been eleven years now since that first move.  Although moving always requires a period of adjustment, this upcoming one shouldn&#8217;t be anywhere near as difficult as that first one, especially since I now know so many people in L.A. and will be staying with a good friend.  It&#8217;s going to be an interesting year, in any case, whatever happens.  I&#8217;d better get back to work here for now but I&#8217;ll try to post something else before I hit the road in about ten days (barring any big snowstorms!)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Email &#8211; <\/strong>Oh, and I apologize to anyone to whom I owe an email.
