Picking up my dear friend, Amy, at the airport

I had a busy day today.  First I ran out to the airport and picked up my dear friend Amy.  She had been in Texas with her sister that has cancer.  She was telling me about this huge cancer center in Texas.  I believe is is the MD Anderson Center in Houston.

After I took Amy home I stopped to pick up something at Day Murray Music:

This feels a little weird but, Day Murray Music has obviously felt very Mormon.  But I have to say they usually treat me (as a transgender woman) very nice.  Several people there know me by name.

I ran home for a minute and then it was off to the Costco on 104th and Bangerter to get some prescriptions for SueZQ.  We got them there because her dad was kind enough to cover the cost.

I have to say that MS gave me the privilege of parking Lili (*1) where she is highly visible.

Something interesting as I walked out of the store, there was a mother and her three daughters (I assume) in front of me.  The youngest noticed me and recognized I was different (not a cis-gender woman).  She kept turning around and looking at me and talking to her sisters and mom, I'm sure about me.

The din in Costco was far too loud for me to hear that conversation.(*2)  I so wish I could have heard what was being said in that group!! 

*1= Lily, the Transmobile, is named after Lili Elbe from the film "The Danish Girl".

*2=One of the first noticable effects of MS was that my brain could no longer filter out background noise so I could understand a conversation in noisy environments.

Anyway, I ran over to Sara's new house (where my band, FTP, now practices) for a jam.  I sat in on keyboard for the last few minutes.  Amy was there fooling around on guitar.  It was SO MUCH FUN, just fooling around jammin'!  Psarah was making up some awesome lyrics about aliens and feminists.  Or maybe it was alien feminists, feminist aliens??  Too funny in any case!

Then my friend Carri asked me to stop by her house because she had baked me some cookies.  When I got there she also presented me with an AWESOME picture she had painted for me.  It looks so great next to my picture of the girl with the umbrella in the rain:

My dear friend Carri made the painting on the right for me.

Anyway, our jam session this afternoon reminded me of this song:
