86 days...Today was a fairly significant day - I broke the 78 kilos (172 lbs) barrier for the first time in years... woo!
I also managed to pay off the outstanding amount of $$$ I owed my father (which he had loaned to me eight and a half years ago to help me convince the bank to give me a mortgage). I decided it would be a wise course of action in case of
Ma-and-Pa-maggedon when I out myself to them, just saves things from being difficult or complicated. It's not like I had the money to give him, had to top up my mortgage and just transferred the difference, but at least I'm not financially in debt to him.
Actually had lunch with the folks today, they wanted to celebrate my birthday from a couple of days ago. It was a pretty laid back affair, as usual my mother and I did most of the talking. My father isn't much of a talker, never has been. It's things like this that make me feel like I'm never going to transition. Never. Or at least, never tell them about it. gah!
It was a good lunch but I really needed to get myself in a better frame of mind when I got home so I tried on the various clothes and shoes I bought recently... here's a selfie-montage!
I would call these my work clothes series! Shame I'm not smiling in the first and the last one is a bit blurry. My selfie skills are crap!
So the first two are me in pants - my god, I think I actually pass wearing pants. If you had told me that a year ago when I was thinking about retransition I would never have believed you! Despite my height they actually fit perfectly. I like wearing the camisole under a loose buttoned blouse or top, that's definitely a "look" for me I think.
So, the skirt - I love this thing! And it goes great with the black tights and boots. Will need to find what kind of tops I can get to go with it. The jacket is for when winter arrives!

Grace's "sensible" shoes tell be she has a keen mind for detail and likes to have a plan.
A such, she will follow her plan and go full time on schedule.
You're forgetting my sparkly pumps, Jamie!
Looks like Jessica's prediction of a betting pool for the real date of me going full time is becoming a reality!
