Insurance, Dysphoria

[stormdog]

Back to working on the insurance claim this morning. We're so close to having the schedule of loss done and ready to submit!

We are required to use their form, so Miriam figured out a way to overlay our tracking spreadsheet onto a scanned copy of their form to print and it saved *so* much hand-writing. We have over 50 pages of this list, at 8 items per page, and each item requires a make, description, model, list of special features, quantity, cost of replacement, and name of replacement source.

I've printed out all of it and now Miriam and I need to hand-sign every page. I'm also finding and fixing a few small errors as I go and reprinting individual pages as necessary.

Yesterday was a high dysphoria day.

98% of the time, I feel fabulous about how well laser on my face has worked to reduce beard shadow and make me feel better about going out looking fem. Even looking at the patchy spots where hair is growing, I feel good because it's so much better than it was.

But yesterday I was looking in the mirror and seeing the majority of what's left on my chin and neck coming in gray, and all the dark hairs that are especially still on my upper lip and I was like "great, now I feel dysphoric *and* old.

But today is a new day, and the bad things will pass.

I'm now in my mid sixties, so.................

There will come a day when all that hair is gone for good! I still remember the day when Sue (my beautician at the time- you have to love someone named Sue Paradise) hugged me and said: 'there's nothing more to do'. :o)
