The meeting with the dwellers went well. I recognized two of them and I´m not quite sure if they recognized me. No questions, good atmosphere, they gave me coffee and we had a very friendly meeting. The guiding business went well, too. The guests gave me a book about their city and wished me welcome to see their city in return.
Meeting my ex was the hardest point. And it was exactly as bad as I thought in advance. As I entered she greeted me with sentences as "You look terrible" or "A man in a dress, obvious to anyone". The chairman of the meeting had to tell her she should behave or leave. He said "You cannot hurt Laura like that. She has a diesease called transsexuality and that is not her fault. Would you insult her if she had a cancer?" "Yeah" my ex said "He is sick, but he never looked for a cure". "I did" I said "Got my diagnosis and the treatments". "That is the false cure" she said...and I saw there no reason to continue.
Anyway, we got the matters settled. Much because I was totally calm and smiling. My ex left before me and I was left alone with the lawyer. He said "She is really wicked, isn´t she?". I tried to calm things down and said "Not so bad as she sounds".
The evening with the girls was FUN. We started with ciders (and Emma´s cherry beer), moved to another place have dinner together, then continued to a disco where we danced until 2 in the morning. And we TALKED and LAUGHED.
