Wow, barely a week until Xmas.

On Wednesday I made it to the lab about 9:30 am, and was trying to get my head back into my work. It took some doing, but I did at least get started on some experiments. Around 3 pm, I called Kadie after her geography final and she came by the lab. We went for a walk outside through the snow. It was a nice opportunity to talk, and while we were walking I received a call from an Arizona number. I didn't answer; instead I let them leave a message. Kadie and I finished our walk, and I went back to the lab. Later in the afternoon I called Arizona back, and talked with the Head of the Department. He offered me the position, and I was enthusiastic but mentioned I had other interviews, but that I wished to start the negotiations.

Yesterday (Thursday)
Her chemistry exam had gone well, and so we walked over to my apartment, and I ate. Later I gave her a brief massage, and lots of neck nuzzling which was a great way to get frustrated. Later we were intending to go get dinner, but we couldn't make up our minds. After we drove back to her apartment, we walked over to Osco, but couldn't decide what wine to get. In the end we drove to a Chinese restaurant and ate there. We returned to her apartment and said hello to her roommate and his boyfriend. We lay on the couch and watched “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” which was fun. About midnight we retired to her room, and started to get back into the grove of snuggling. The sex was slow but very nice; I pleasured her until my hand cramped, and then some more. After an intermission, she did the same for me, and it really was quite wonderful. I didn't know I could get so wet and sensuous. I should send my surgeon a thank you card, because all the nerve endings were awake. I think we finished after 2 am, and we were both quite exhausted.

This morning (Friday), Kadie and I didn't wake up until about 10 am. She cooked a nice breakfast, and we sat around having coffee and conversation. I walked up to the university a little bit before midday. I went for coffee, and bumped into her again as she was selling her textbooks back. Around 1:30 pm we went for a run in the gym and that felt good. This afternoon I was trying to get a few more experiments underway, and I need to give some consideration to what I am going to do next semester for classes.

This evening I have been sitting in bed working and reading. I don't know if Kadie or I will get together tonight, but given how much we've been hanging out maybe that's a good thing.

Sex with my new body has been really quite wonderful. Using the Premarin cream has helped a lot, as well as just having had time to get to know myself better. It's interesting that I don't seem to masturbate much (although I did Wednesday night), but if someone else is around, then I definitely think a lot more about it. I don't think I'm capable of the multi-orgasmic crescendo that some women are, but it feels quite amazing nonetheless. In some ways I wish I'd had this done years ago, but the surgical techniques didn't exist then, and having the old configuration wasn't so bad. Now I just need to keep practicing and having fun. :)
