Report Sheet for 2013

I suppose by rights  I should be doing this tomorrow but I might be busy or something else so I am starting it tonight.  2013 for Sapphire, good or bad? First off 2012 was a very good year and not just because the bar was set so low.  So in February we had Brighton, day at A*****s, good pics, 2 days in the freezing cold, the moment at the Signalman.  Interestingly it was the last visit to A*****s so sense of something there.  Moving on.  Did not realise April was trip to TB****.  That was a success and under certain conditions could be repeated.  Holiday 2013 has a sense of failure which is probably wrong. The room mainly, too few days, no dressing service, no sexual activity and the odd meeting with St**** and the taxi driver.  However it was 6 days solid dressing doing it 24 hours, the HIV/HepB test and there a few good things apart from the obvious usual things.  Sitting at St Peters eating lunch seems to stand out as does The Armoury.  Morrisons, Waitrose, University of Sussex, possibly the bar is higher now.  Moving on, no November holiday for financial reasons.  Weight, well went from 12 st 3 ib to 11, 2lb before moving quickly back up!  the running probably helps a lot. So leaving 2013 with a better body than started it, result.  Hormones, yes well, started, stopped, started, stopped, started.  Still no long term plan. 
Support group, well still useful but arguably less so.  If the new co support worker stays could be less good. 
The new camera, bad, bad, bad.  Not getting too many chances to dress and take pics.  Then again pics seem less important and curiously neither does dressing, its much more internal now.
Face looks older and there is a sense of moving on. Also a big sense my looks have gone and going to have to accept that and move on.  Not good that one, very bitter pill.
Suppose there is a sense things have to progress, to move forward but to what goal, what is the final aim?  I am prepared to give 2013 7.5 out of 10 tranny points.  In some ways it was good, in some ways it was treading water, in some ways it was less than 2012.  Perhaps, ultimatly, we have to say just being in the game is enough, to go out dressed is more than many get.  Yes thats a bit of a cop out really but there we are. 
OK 2014?  February should be, assuming other things do not intervene, Brighton again.  Holiday 2014, far away in time yes but needs some thinking about.  Not Legends, no way, possibly University of Brighton. OK lots of things there, we shall see.
So  as 2013 ebbs away lets cal it a conslodation year in which gains were secured and limited advances made.  Today I bought a Laura slouch bag from Fatface. Ideally wanted the Lohr Wolfram bag at £400 but that was not an option, Laura bag at £90, not an option either. Laura bag at £40, result.  So with the smell of leather in my nostrils and something to use in 2014 lets put our shoulders back, tits out, smile and walk forward to the future, there will be MAC, possibly Bobbi Box, definately shoes and Pinot Grigio.
