Geez... such impatient people. Fine....





 

And my sexy (former) librarian look...
 
^ That's also the first time I wore a skirt to work.

And of course the lovely Alexa!


And us together at Infinity War. My selfie camera sucks.


Since she works for AMC corporate, we got to go to a special corporate screening of the movie, complete with drinks and snacks (like some absolutely amazing catered doughnuts!). I also completely forgot to take a picture of them (I needed someone else to do it, since it was both hands), but for the movie I painted my nails the colors of the infinity stones. Since I only have 5 fingers, I painted all the nails on the other hand the 6th color. I love being a nerd.

Lol, thanks. Everyone loves that blouse, even one of my guy friends. It's what I wore the very first time I went out dressed in public, so I've got a special attachment to it. So...... HANDS OFF!! 😁

  But I thought you loved me. Does this mean you aren't going to send it to me?

Looking good there Sarah! I like the top you are wearing in the first pictures and I really like the necklaces you are wearable with that top. I think I might be an L size. Any chance I could borrow it? [emoji12]

You only have 5 fingers on each hand? That's inconvenient. A 6th finger would have come in handy for your nail paint scheme. I'm glad you found an alternative method to cover the 6 stone colours. My wife and I watched Infinity War on Wednesday. We loved it. Actually, we love all the Marvel movies. Can't wait till next year to see how it finishes. I'm glad there are some other Marvel movies coming out between now and then to keep us going.

Thanks Everyone! 😸
Up in kc today, about to go look at storage spaces. Brought a car load of my dvd/blu ray/game collection.
This has all worked out well timing wise. My mom is wanting to have a garage sale next weekend, so I can sell a bunch of stuff I won't be needing anymore, plus she's giving me a percentage of her sales for helping! I'm gonna be getting more exercise in the next week than I've had in a long time....

So on other fronts (so to speak), the girls are still growing, but so slowly.... at least righty has mostly caught up with lefty. I'm seeing the doctor again in July, and I'm going to ask her for 2 things, switch from pills to patch, and to start progesterone. I want to speed things up a bit. Or hopefully a lot.

Electrolysis is going great, she's really getting all those dark hairs cleared off. In fact, last Monday Alexa & I we're going to dinner, and I realized I had forgotten to put on makeup until we were on the road. She said there was some redness (had a session that morning), but it didn't look like hair shadow. Sure enough, nobody gave me any odd looks or misgendered me at all. I'm still more confident with at least some foundation, but it's good to know I can get away with no makeup if I need to!! Clearing all the white hairs will still take forever, though. Plus we need to start on downstairs eventually.🤤

What little chest hair I had has completely stopped growing. My legs are doing better, too, with some epilated assistance. The crotch and pits are still pretty bad, though.

Also, since I'm moving to Missouri,  I can get that court order to get my birth certificate changed 😁.

Hey I am all for you getting that court order but you will be moving further away and out of my normal route in an out of Missouri. I could change routes I suppose ,but, driving through Nebraska is so boring. Nothing but miles and miles of corn...

Going out and not having to wear any makeup is so nice.. I'm slowly getting there hopefully the shadow will finally go away. If not, I'll be get zapped as much as needed and just have to deal with the puffiness for a few, usually 3, days after.
I'm just a few months behind you on hrt and I can really relate with your timeline. Well "everyone's different" yes but seems like a lot of similar things happen closer to the 1 year mark. Which is great!

Not having to wear makeup is kinda like what I felt when I stopped wearing breast forms, or when I stopped wearing a wig. Another piece of the puzzle that is the true me just clicked together!

After electrolysis I'm very puffy and very red. The puffiness goes away in a few hours, but the red can last a week or more. Last month I had red bumps all over my neck for 2 weeks. Thankfully that didn't happen this time.

So cool Sarah!! Yes, "true me" is so worth feeling. Red bumps sounds just as bad as the puffiness I get! Good thing it didn't happen. It's actually kinda neat over the months to see things coming together, hair growing, facial jair/shadow ceasing, facial/body changes.. most of all comfort in myself. Slowly I realize it's possible..
