unweekend

I had my son for much of the weekend, with an unexpected son-free Friday night. I didn't seize upon it to go out because I was low on energy & cash. I wish I knew about kid-free nights with more lead time so I could make plans. I don't want to get on Aspiring Ex's case about it too much, because sometimes I need to swap nights, as with last weekends company party. I think I'm better about doing it in advance, though.

Also on Friday night, I got to listen to listen to Aspiring Ex whine about the cost of electrolysis (which, I admit, is creeping up on $20K over five years) and listening to her blather on about alternatives. One more time: if you want the hair gone forever, there aren't any alternatives. I know trans women who've said lasers are a waste of money. I've had one laser tech tell me they aren't permanent, and they don't work at all on grey hair like the vast majority of my remaining facial hair.

I was just reading the other day about a trans woman in the UK who got attacked on mass transit because she had her facial hair grown out. She was on her way to some kind of hair removal. This is the biggest reason why I need mine gone.
