Keeping this one short as I'm very tired and heading to bed.
We'll be getting $50 a week from someone who's going to park his car in our driveway four days a week while he attends classes at SMC. His mom was going around dropping fliers off at houses in the neighborhood. I talked to her a bit and one thing lead to another. Woohoo! Free money!
I watched Kiki's Delivery Service and My Neighbor Totoro today. Haven't seen them in YEARS. Certainly not since starting transition. It was wonderful to see them again. I've got some more Ghibli stuff lined up for tomorrow (including Mononoke-hime and Nausicaa. Should be good.
We went over to a little burger place that opened up a while back near us, Shaka Shack. SO. GOOD. They have super delicious onion rings, too. We'll be going back again soon, I think.
Tomorrow we'll finally find out what Travis's raise is! You'd think they'd've told him, but no. Ah well. Also tomorrow I'm heading to WeHo again for another exciting installment of "Sitting in a circle with a bunch of other trans people". It might not be so bad if not for the fact that other trans people kinda freak me out a little.
And finally, on Saturday we're going to a pet adoption at a local pet store to see if we can find a kitten or cat to bring home to live with us. I really hope we can find someone who likes us and who'll take good care of us. :)
Oh, one last thing: I'm watching a SERIOUSLY AWESOME doco called "I Know That Voice" which is about—get this—voice actors. It's fascinating, and it's making me wish I could find a way to break into voice acting. I don't think I'm anywhere near good enough, but maybe I could be. Of course, being trans and having a largely masculine voice means I'm LOADS more self-conscious than a cisgender actor might. But I'd still do it. I have a few impressions I'm not awful at. I doubt I could parlay those into anything meaningful, but… I dunno. Maybe someday I'll find a way to at least make an attempt to get into the field.
