What made you happy today? For mtF members only, please.

My wife and I were at Home Depot to look for some shelving. The female associate called me an Amazon Woman, (in a complimentary sort of way.) She commented that she wished she was my height. When I told her I was 6'7", she was totally shocked.

Nice quiet afternoon, coloring my hair with Keratin, Berry Brown shade. I'm sure it will look great!

I went to lunch with my mother. That is wonderful.

On my way home tonight spotted a turtle stranded in the middle of a busy street.  Stopped put on my emergency flashers and put her in a safe place.  (I think the turtle was happy too, but she didn't say! )

Day 3 of returing to my Atkins woe & happy. I had lost 26 pounds & looked great then fell off the wagon as they say, now back on it & hope to stay. My body looks very nice after liposuction & tummy tuck surgery & I want to keep it that way.

Good karma level up!

Only twenty five more hours and I'll have my new legal name.

Congrats girl.  The waiting is the hardest part.  Hope you have a celebration planned!

Wow, congrats.

Friday I'll have the order in hand but it will likely be effective 30 days from the hearing...

[Martine A.]

Wow, I just made it through a horrible day. It started with GD yesterday, and continued on today. Today I also had professional problems that added to it and I sank really deep.

I am surprised I reached the surface, and wonder if my watchdog will leave me in the future.

Had a very serious therapy session today but my therapist called me Katelyn several times without hesitation and it was absolutely amazing, I felt so comfortable talking about hard things knowing she supported me like that.

Found some great deals at Kohl's in their clearance section. I got a couple tennis dresses for $15 each and a couple of nice dresses for work for $20 and $30.

I will be ready to up my exercise routines as soon as I am healed up from my FFS and breast augmentation surgeries.  I think I have my wardrobe just about completed.

Congratulations Raven, - there is nothing like the thrill of having your real name on your legal paperwork.

Congrats, it will be like a 2nd birthday to you and a day you'll never forget

I officially got my first therapy session scheduled with a good and proper specialist.  I'm pretty excited, even if I'm stuck waiting nearly a month!

[CrysC]

Congrats Raven!  I'm jealous. 

For me, just 7 days to get the name change form signed by my doctor
1 month and 7 days to do the FB announcement and announcement at work
1 month and a half to use the court order to get a new driver's license and begin the name change paperwork
1 month and 23 days to be living full time

I'm so happy I barely feel scared.

The website of Amsterdam VU states there is 17 weeks between making an appointment and first meeting with a therapist. Before that goes what looks like more weeks of waiting for intake. I don't think I get to chose a therapist.

Just saying... that sounds like 4 months of wait or so. Might be 6. Before mandatory 18 months evaluation. No private sector, no quicker procedure that could be bought with money. No informed consent. If there are, anyone, share!

Ugh! That's really unfortunate...

Updated post with more. Yea, that is why I have mood issues lately.

I learned an important lesson tonight!  Confessions of love are not done for the other person, or because you need them to love you.  They are done for you!  And when you know that it makes life a little easier.  I feel so good because I confessed to someone how I really felt, and the ache went away with this confession.  I haven't known them that long, and was scared to go that far, so I made sure they understood that I expected nothing from it.  I feel free now.  I could fly!

I really do feel that good!
