What made you happy today?, for MTF members please

[Jenny07]

I went out west to a shop for some speciality supplies for my hobbies today.
Its been a while since I last went there due to being busy but have been going out there for years so they know me well.

They almost didn't recognise me and made a comment that I looked much younger and asked how?
Little do they know but it made my day. I told them I've been getting fit again and taking vitamins. Both true.

Made me smile inside.

Also I'm feeling so much better with things as it has caused much anxiety recently. I finally feel so very happy in my own skin which is an odd feeling as I have never felt right.
My chicken fillets are now overfilling a b cup and still growing, how I love them now.

Taking Monday off to see my endo so will be interesting to see how things are going.
Going to book some more laser sessions.

Life is good and getting better.

Good luck with Dr H, Jen! Shame our appointments haven't synchronised this time.

Day 4 & no more nasty cigarettes for this GF. Thankful to lots of FB friends, old & new, from all over the planet for their support.

Off to my Beauty Salon today for some smooth legs, a facial & some pampering I hope. My Beauty shop lady removes virtually all body hair with the NuFree hair removal system, very painless & very quick removal of any hair. She is also removing all my facial hair with the same process. After each total removal of hair it grows back slower & thiner. With the more stubborn hairs she does electrolysis. If you have never heard of it ask your salon about NuFree hair removal system, it is great, the best product for hair removal. So that makes me a happy smooth clean girl today.  Take care GF's.

Now that I'm living alone again I too can get back on track with my quitting smoking. I resisted the urge to buy cigs yesterday, and now that I have the great news about my gender change on my drivers license and voice surgery I have the extra motivation I feel I need. I'm down to 1/2 pack per day and will continue to wean myself off slowly using my e-cigs when necessary if I have uncontrollable urges. My only worry is my SO. She refuses to quit with me.

So I went to the hardware store to get some things today.
I was going to get the team some mixed nuts to snack on as they are iron deficient.
Yes my sense of humour is a little warped as some might know.

Ended up getting a bucket of m&m's instead. They will be lucky to last a day.
Perhaps next time I'll get the mixed nuts.

I've had some lights in the bathroom out for some time and darn landlord was too lazy to fix them.
Got the bits required and fixed the down lights myself and now have light after 5 years of being in the dark.
So much easier than I thought.
Oh bugger, I'm the landlord.

Also started to get timber for a display case I have been thinking about for years.

So much progress on all levels.

Must be the E as I feel so much better about doing things.

Two people at work noticed I had lost weight. One guy said it shows in my face more than anywhere else. Felt good to be noticed for changes I'm making.

Day 5 of no more smoking. It's going OK, easier each day. I use a mild level Ecig if emergency. No more junk food, eating a lot smarter, fruits, veggies, etc.   Vitamin E Oil is great stuff for your face GF's. I soaks in & is natural. I had my legs & arms waxed yesterday. My lady could see substantially less hair growth on my legs. Body hair growth is slowing down everywhere. So I'm a happy girl today.

Ive finally decided to take up contemporary dance and writing poetry again! I noticed that throught everything over the past through years of being indenial about myself and figuring out how to love my life I forgot to dance and write. Time to bring it back hehe

Eating my Greek yogurt and granola breakfast while I wandered from room to room through this safe place, where my sisters naturally understand me and where I can express my feeling and experiences without having to apologize or feel ashamed about who I am.

I finally found the smoking gun to an annoying problem I was having with my boat. Next weekend I'll be back on the water! This makes me a very happy girl!!!

Day 6 of no more stupid T cigs for this girl so yea! I finally get to meet with Plastic Surgeon this Friday for pics, surgery plans etc. for my face lift. I'm excited that it's finally going to happen soon. I've had lots of friends old & new helping to support me while stopping stupid dirty T smoke. So I'm a happy girl this morning. Life is good.

Finally managed to make a start in correcting my sleep cycle to something approaching compatible with the rest of the world. IE, I got up, stayed up and went for a walk at 10, rather than sleeping till 13:00 or later. Like the first time in 3 weeks.
Tried a range of tricks over the years but I think I have finally found a way to convince my half comatose 'morning self' to not crawl back into bed. A keynote card with a few lines on it reminding myself why I have to break this cycle along with clear instructions. No thought required, just read and do. Apparently I'm at least capable of that in the morning.

Went out for another night ride and starting to get fitter which feels fantastic. Rode 80km and loving it again.
Rode with a long time friend. We talked about nothing and anything.

He made a comment that something's changed as I am so much happier.
He knows what I have been through and was close to my ex partner as well.
Geez is it that obvious.

Tough this Sydney weather. Winter is closing in fast and it's still 20C. How will I handle a frigid 15C?
