In the afternoon I rented a car from Enterprise and drove Alexa to the Bland Clinic. I spent the morning getting warm while Lorrie and Mikey were at work. I rented the car because my friend Kim who had promised to come fetch me yesterday, was not answering her phone then or today.
Alexa was having her blood tested and also needed to have a regular prescription for hormones and blockers. She has been self-medicating for two years. She has been presenting as a woman for five years.
Alexa is a very brave soul, she has been doing everything necessary toward surgery since she turned 14. She has been adamant and out in a town so rural it is named Rural Retreat. She has face down bigots and made friends. Strangely, she has never learned how to drive. She tells me here mother drives too fast and scary. He father in his seventies does not pay enough attention to the road.
The Enterprise folk gave me a ride back to Allisonia when i turned in the car. I put the tent up in the "no camping area," after checking with a lawn mowing neighbor just downstream. Good night, Father.
