Just posted these in Fabulous, but I wanted to stick them here too with a little elaboration.
So first things first, as I said in Fabulous, excuse the beard shadow. But holy crap... Laser is a miracle. This is a full day's growth after only 3 sessions, and when I started a fresh shave looked like a week's growth for most people. Makes me so excited to see where I'll be after six sessions when I head to New York.
Second, you can basically see in the pictures that my chest is completely smooth. That used to be impossible for me. Coarseness and darkness of hair always left visible stubble behind, and that I can casually shave with a quick once over now shows I'm not just imagining the quick response on body hair reduction. <3 you HRT.
Third, the pictures...! So my step mother was giving away some of her old jewelry and asked my sister and I if I we wanted any of it. This necklace was the only thing that stuck out to me, but that aside... I want to just scream out in joy at being included on that. It is such an incredibly wonderful feeling, and there are not words to describe how accepted that makes me feel. (My sister also told me yesterday when we were talking about pronouns that she is just waiting for me to tell her I'm comfortable with her using female name and pronouns, and she's happy to switch over whenever.) But the necklace didn't go with the Star Wars shirt I was wearing (which... I wore yesterday too and just now realized it was Star Wars day... feels a little on the nose now looking back), so I had to go get dressed.
In the Fabulous thread I mentioned funny/awkward thing. So there has been a roofer working here for a few months now, and he was done but my dad rehired him to come over and tear down this overhang. Thats... right outside my window. And I forgot about that. So I'm getting dressed up, and then it hits me that there is movement behind the blinds. Awwwwwwwwwwwwkwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard. But honestly? It didn't really bother me other than being half naked (ie: the dressing in women's clothes part). I don't think he necessarily saw anything, the blinds were closed but I can't be sure because they have tiny gaps between them that if you looked you could certainly see through. So that was fun.
PICTURES NOW:
And one last thing that also made my day. So I've switched over entirely to the pink women's tennis shoes I bought last weekend, trying to push my limits in public, and so far no one has commented if they noticed until now. I had to make a quick run to the post office which is by Huddle House (Waffle House like chain for those in an area without them), so I ate there real quick. I held the door open for an older woman with a walker, and she said in the sweetest voice "you have pretty shoes". So first comment I've gotten in public about my appearance and it was a compliment.
