I wrote a little about working with De on Sunday. Yesterday we rolled back out to Kathleen's to finish the work on the dock. Some of you may remember me writing about the storm that rolled through last month. During said storm, tides on the river rose so high that Kathleen's floating pier floated off of its pilings and landed on the dock. We fabricated a superstructure for raising the height of the pilings, so that future flooding won't loose the pier. It's not my usual kind of work. It's kind of ironic. I'm trans, and I got together with a trans friend to do supposedly macho work for another trans friend.
After the pier was finished, we hauled a chair from Kathleen's house to Bud's apartment in Norfolk. Bud has the cutest long-haired cat, a critter named "Monkey". Monkey was a little skittish around strangers, but I am an instinctive cat person, and we hit it off almost immediately. I forgot how therapeutic stroking a long-haired cat could be. Monkey liked it. I liked it. I had a hard time walking away. The endorphin rush was HUGE. It left me breathless.
(Yes, I realize I've made petting a cat sound like sex, but I couldn't help myself.)
Sticking together seem like an excellent idea! I got out a power tool the other day and the first thought was hey this is a bit butch, second thought was this pink woollen jacket goes nicely with the grey shirt but the pink nails are a bit too purplish!
ReplyDeleteMust try that cat thing, I usually want to strangle them for what they leave in my garden.
