What made you happy today? 3.0

[big kim]

Got the new printer installed and working

[Darkie]

My son's new favourite movie is The Lion King.
I have a new favourite song.

"Circle of Liiiiiiife, and it moves us Aaaaaallllll"

[Shodan]

I HAVE BOOOBS!!!

I was looking at my profile in the mirror last night (naked, before going to bed)  and discovered that I had honest to goodness breast growth beyond what I had with my overweight man-boobs.

Now if only I can get rid of some of my gut....

So, my first day at Toyota went well. no issues with passing or... well.. anything. It was only orientation but still. It was nice not to feel like everyone in the plant knows my past.

Congratulations Keaira, this will help you move on past the doldrums of life, bet it feels good!

"Circle of Liiiiiiife, and it moves us Aaaaaallllll"

"Be prepared!"

The new (to me) song I like is "Leider" by Eisbrecher, btw. I do like The Lion King soundtrack though (mostly "Be Prepared").

I got my doctor letter for applying for birth certificate amendment. Putting it off until next month or November because of the fees, but still I'm pretty sure it'll go through with no hitch once I submit the application. It's a good step forward. For me it's too easy to get complacent, and I don't want to lose momentum. After Texas Vital Statistics I want to move on to the Social Security Administration.

There will always be asterisks and such in my medical records, but that's fine. I feel more and more human the more I confirm publicly that I am what I always felt myself to be.

Wow congrats Felix, you're going over another big hump in the road!

The ENT found no problems with my vocal cords. I get to keep my voice!

Also I confused the registrars and nurses to an amusing degree.

Last year my technical director assigned me a project, which was to define the scope of work for the company with respect to a regulation, for the next five years.  I came up with 237 items.  Part of the company was literally calling for my termination and some of them were vp level.  I was passed over for promotion but I held on to my job.  Today, the official number came out from the very people who had called for my head. The number was "Just shy of 240."  They would not say exactly what the number was.

Guess who got that promotion!!!!  Right before lunch, the TD stopped by with a good job and the news.

Returning to normal levels of HRT in a week or so. I'm very glad. I stopped a month or so ago & reconsidered everything. Now I'm ready for estrogen for the rest of my life. My breasts have grown to an A cup easily & I'm looking forward to their growth this fall & winter. Maybe I hope SRS one day however I may have an orcie earlier to help reduce the need for spiro. I've always felt myself as a girl or now a woman since early childhood. I just wish I had changed & improved my physical gender so long ago & much earlier in life.

Oh yea my nails are getting really long. I love long nice polished nails.

@Jennifer, Sounds like someone had your back, was strong & against all odds you are a survivor. Stellar, a well deserved promotion, Congratulations! The TD should take you out to dinner! You must feel on top of the world. Celebrations are in order!

2 new binders arrived and they're really great. Also they fit perfectly around my shoulders but were to big around my hips. That made me irrationally happy somehow.
Also my parents gave me a gift from Elfia: a leather bracelet with my name on: Nathan!

Celebrations indeed!!!!  It's been a tough year.  All because the truth was hard to face.  Yea.  Thank you.

I had to call the dmv this morning and gave my old name because that is what the title of the car is under... Anyway- later on in the call, they addressed me as ma'am twice. Pretty funny slip on on their part (if I actually were male) and it kinda made my day

When I was walking into school today, my teacher thought I was one of my female classmates and called me by her name.

Beautiful morning here and went for a Saturday morning 120k bike ride through the national parks north of Sydney and finished it off with a ferry ride back across the harbour. Priceless.

Last week I had a major blow out with my (not-ex-yet-)wife... I've been under a lot of stress and I'm her source of anxiety... of course this isn't about that! I got fed up with 6 weeks in the basement (windowless) office (pictured, in part, below) sleeping on the floor with couch cushions. Bought the bed last weekend... the sheets during the week, and the comforter set finally showed up today!



It's like a real bedroom now...

In the photo is Berry (previously Barry) who started her life as a VT Teddy Bear in overalls. My wife also got one with a skirt... and Berry decided that being a boy bear wasn't for her any longer..... so she raided her partner's closet. It makes this sort of thing easier to talk about with my daughters.

[Darkie]

Aww, I love your little bedroom!  Sad you have to sleep down there but at least you have a cute little place to relax with your little friend! I sleep with a Fennec Fox every night named Fenrir.

So cool, I just love these kinds of outcomes. Funny how resistant to change some can be, the last seven words from members of a failed organization are "We never did it that way before!"........Kudos!
