Please accept my apologies for not announcing that I DID NOT move to Houston sooner. Things weren't happening quickly enough there in regard to locating a residence & suddenly, my support system here picked up! I was already missing my kiddos after only 10 days out of town house hunting, so am very glad to now be only a few blocks from them and back in south Austin where I started my hobby career.
Also, I've had several past clients contact me who were still unaware of my current "condition". Yes, I am now 36 weeks pregnant and due on 03/21 - just before my 44th birthday. Imagine that! LOL No, this wasn't planned but rather the product of being denied further 'scrips for my birth control pending a mammogram {EEK!!! I just think about it & think "modern-day torture!!!} Before you offer me baby clothes & items, I must share that my baby boy will be placed w/ an adoptive family who have been anxiously awaiting their opportunity to raise a child as their own. It's actually very exciting & my teens are looking forward to assisting me with choosing a couple.
As you can imagine, this life-changing event has been very thought provoking and certainly motivated me to look at my life & consider new long-term goals in regard to career and lifestyle choices. When I first announced this event in my life, my stance was that I was NOT retiring - merely slowing down. Yes, I love being an "intimacy counselor" of sorts and feel it suits me nicely. However, I also enjoy singing, decorating, and psychology, so... with that said, my earlier notice that I would not be seeing new clients still holds true.
I will make exceptions for those I've met previously at socials, gents referred by current clientele, or those who write me a sincere personal intro and include verifiable references. I've been touched by a few who've contacted me in this last context regretting missed opportunities and by some who have expressed their admiration for a sexy pregnant woman and wish to pamper me. How can I refuse such a lovely request??? It's wonderfully good timing for pampering after all the moving & trying to get settled in!!! Believe me!! LOL
Thank you to all the gentlemen out there who appreciate the toll on a woman's body, mind & psyche during pregnancy. You da best!!!
Thanks also to the ladies & gents who've been very supportive and helped me with my move via monetary contributions, packing/moving assistance, grocery trips and good old-fashioned moral support. As always, things are working out despite the adversity.
Love ya'!!!
