My Emotional Roller-coaster of a day.

[Jessica]

Big big milestone today.  I came out publicly on Facebook.  It was something I felt like I had to do so after confiding in those that are close to me and those that needed to know I announced it.  I'm known for being a practical joker so a few thought I was joking.  But those that know stepped up and make some nice comments.  Plus there are a few that didn't know and said they are supporting me.  I purposely did the announcement today because Wednesdays and Thursdays are my weekend. So it should be quite interesting to see how work goes Friday when I show up.

Congratulations Robyn!  I'm new to the thread.  Sounds interesting!

Thank you.  Just like any rollercoaster it has it's ups and downs.

Hi Robyn,

  Well I guess you've gone and done it now. No going back into the closet now is there? So you are a practical joker and some thought you were kidding huh? Well you can try what I did. I told my best friend and his wife about me on April 1st. They kept waiting for the "April fools" that never came. I didn't even realize it was April first when I told then and didn't know it until Peggy told me months later. Sometimes some things need to be better thought out.

Hugs,
  Laurie

Yep, that's me.  Everyone is usually careful around me come April 1st.  Luckily this year it falls on a Easter and I managed to get that day off.  I too thought about coming out publicly on April 1st but decided that I couldn't wait that long.  More and more people were finding out and it was only a matter of time until the dam broke.  Figured I would just do it myself and all.

I go back to work today.  This will be my first shift since I came back and I can't sleep one bit.  At least I can sleep at work if it's not too busy.

No sleeping at work for you girly. You will have too much explaining to do.  Enjoy your day Hun.

But, but,  I've already taken one nap and about to take a second one. 😪

So it's been one week since I came out.  Pretty much everyone has either been positive or just haven't wanted to talk about it.  My partner at work is having fun with it but that's to be expected.  That doesn't bother me one bit.  No one said anything negative on Facebook or elsewhere.  Matter of fact one person that I'm not friends with on Facebook came and talked to me yesterday.  I thought that was great. 

I'm still not presenting that much as female in public.  Just little things here and there.  There are still a few things I want to work on before doing that.  Need to get going on that before July rolls around.  Vacation time with the family.  We are heading back to the coast.  Can't wait to go swimsuit shopping.

Baby steps Robyn. There's no hurry. Progress is progress.

Oh I know.  Plus my wife is happy that I'm taking it slow.  I would so love to have had everything done in a week but it doesn't work that way.  So I bide my time.  One day at a time.

Well, I did a female faux pas the other day.  I went to Victoria's Secret website and ordered a bra online.  I want at least one bra from them.  Just to have one.  I told my wife after I ordered it and she got on to me because you never order bras online, you go to the store and have it fitted first.  Oops.  At least she liked the print I ordered.  So fast forward to today and the bra arrived.  I tried it on and it fits perfectly.  It's a 36A and it fits like a glove.  There isn't any gap between the cup and my boobs.  So my wife will be pissed because I'm good at eyeballing clothes and knowing if they will fit or not.  But damn I look sexy in it.

Now to find a way to order more bras from VS.
