Good Morning! I have the week off, as **Mrs Magill** and I will head off to Hershey, PA tomorrow for the RV show. I was surprised that it’s only a twelve hour drive. We’ll be there for Wednesday and most of Thursday. We’ll head home Thursday afternoon and find a place to overnight for a bit and finish the drive Friday morning.

Coq au Vin II (electric bugaloo) is in the slow cooker. This time it’s plugged in! **Mrs Magill** asked if it were plugged in this time, then immediately apologized for the sarcastic question. I reassured her that it was, in fact, a completely reasonable question with my track record. Oddly enough, the kitchen smells _really good_ this time.

I keep looking at the box of Estradiol patches in my apothecary drawer and think about how much of a big, unprecedented step that’s going to be. I think I’m ready.

Still is. I need to tell him. I’m not afraid he’ll reject me. He’s shown repeatedly that his love for my brother, sister, and me is unconditional. I just know it will cause him to worry about me and the road I’m on.

I’m still ticked that the birds picked my raspberries clean this summer. I had only managed one small harvest. In fact, everything I’d grown this year has been a disappointment, except the potatoes. I’ve almost worked my way through them.

_That’s_ where I’d gotten that one from.
