Deja Vu All Over Again?

How many times a day do you experience coincidences?  Or in the immortal words of that stalwart catcher for the Bronx Bombers, “Déjà vu all over again”?  For your scribe, more times than not.  In fact when the things get too close for comfort I wonder whether the world is smaller than I imagined.

Case in point, dinner Friday evening with a long time friend she brought up the matter of electrologists tossing out the first and last name of the person who inaugurated me to the process.  The cranial processing engine considered the name.  Could it be the same person?  So I probed by mentioning the location and describing my less than fond memories of the professional.

By something more than coincidence, it was the same person.  And to prove you can continue to learn even after the experience has passed, I was informed she had a problem, a real problem, working on the male persuasion.  Now I understand why she asked if I was transgender.  She agreed to work on me because I was in that gender gray area.  But she frequently canceled appointments or delayed starting to work.

Only after switching to a new professional did I realize (yes I’m a tad slow on the uptake) how sad the former professional’s situation was.  My current electrologist is awesome – a girlfriend in the truest sense - and my friend wants to engage her to perform the same procedures with permanent results.

That is one coincidence that crossed my path during the past week; others will remain undisclosed.  While shopping with my daughter this weekend – such fun to shop femme to femme (although in deference to her and our first time together since coming out to her I was androgynous – sounds like something out of Star Wars) we consulted and opined on various skirts, tops and accessories.  She was very helpful with my selections and guarded the dressing room as I stole in, fitted up and slipped out without incident.

Monday brings the remnants of memories from the two “S” days and longing for the weekend.  Upcoming Raven Weekend is shaping up to be amazing.  Jane R. and company are experimenting with a fashion show Friday evening with support from local merchants.  Guarded optimism, I’m hopeful this vendor support is deeper and broader than an opportunity to turn a greenback.  The fact that proceeds from certain aspects of the function are targeted to charities is uplifting and hopefully will encourage a large turn out.

After two weeks of no “out and about” I’m fired up to shed the conventional and prominently display the unconventional.  I hope you will join us for a rousing good time.  Conversation, hugs and warm smiles will dominate the weekend.

Looking forward to seeing you and catching up.  Girlfriends we have so much to talk about.

Have a wonderful day.

Love and hugs, Nikki DiCaro
