Jess’s mess

[Jessica]

Hi friends, I'm relaxing after a day of fun and merriment from racing in the longest running foot race in America...Bay to Breakers!  It had a few hiccups in the beginning when my other mermaids and I realized even though we all put down the same pace of 9 minutes per mile several weren't in the same queue.  They weren't letting anyone dropped back so we could start together.  Sorted it out after we all passed the start line and ran together then.  Very cold wind in the morning, but only where the cross streets were, once you got to the hills, it was blocked.  Fishscale tights don't keep you very warm, but move the legs enough and presto.
This year they added an extra 3k to the course that you could opt to do for more bling and beer.  We mermaids became founding members of that section, as we ran down the beach next to the Great Highway.  Beautiful!  This added bit made for a clean 15k.
I'm still waiting for some of the pics that were taken, I'll post them when I get them.

Hugs and smiles, Jessica

  Were you the littlest mermaid?  It does sound like it was a fun day for you and the other girls. It would have killed me. huff puff huff puff  Someone just put me out of my misery.

Hugs,

Oh Dear this makes me tired just reading it...congratulations to you and the other mermaids for completing the course!!

So friends, after I had read this morning that your medications should be known to your dentist, I resolved to mention them to my hygienist who I had an appointment with earlier.
It was a bit awkward, with the open office the way it is, and thought maybe I'll just talk to my dentist directly about it in private.  She was busy with another patient, so I got her personal email from the receptionist.  They all know me and bent the rules when I said it was personal, but not bad.
I explained in the email the medications and why I was taking them.  I told them what to expect with my transition.
I have to also preface to you that I have been with this office for a couple of decades and know the entire staff.
I got an email quickly back with her thanking me for trusting them and it was important to know this information.  She also asked if I had any saliva issues, which I do.  So we will be checking that out.  She asked me what I would like to be called and they all support me.

This to me is a big step in my journey.  This is the largest group of people that know me personally that I have confided in.

Hugs and smiles, Jess

Congratulations!  You absolutely did the right thing.  Dentists are doctors and need to know about all medications we are on.  Last year when I told mine he was momentarily shocked and then quite excited.  I told him it's fine if the entire office knows, no big deal.  A few months later I updated my legal name, dropped by to let them know.  They are looking forward to my next routine visit after a few surgeries. 

Dentists are in a competitive field.  They know darn well many people fear having their teeth poked, prodded and occasionally filled, so they never want to lose good reliable patients.  You're a patient and you are a customer.

[Laurie]

Congrats Sis. Glad  it went over well.

Hugs,

Dear Jess:
Oh yeah, for sure, with Doctors and Dentists...it is especially important to declare all of the medications being taken...   There are just so very many drug interactions that are possible and so medications affect blod clotting and bleeding too.   
It is very affirming also when they start addressing you by your female name as well.

***ONE QUESTION for you........  how did your teeth cleaning go with your Dental Hygienist???   
I only ask because you know what a happened with me when I had my appointment with mine.     

Thanks for keeping your thread updated!! 
Looking for your updates and keeping up with your journey is my daily ritual along with my morning coffee !!!!

"Hugs and smiles" also for you,

@Alaskan Danielle

Well....on my last visit I presented male, my hygienist only found out after my email to my dentist who was busy when I was there.  We are familiar with each other's lives, she has a fiancé and I'm married.  So we may become closer because of this, but not as close as your hygienist and yourself.

Thank you Danielle for the question 🌸🌸🌸🌸

Hugs and smiles, Jess 💁‍♀️

My wife and I are renovating our large backyard....lots of work.
At this moment the landscaping has started and there is a crew of Hispanic workers.  Little do they know I understand enough Spanish to get by.  I heard one say to the other that I look like a
mujer (woman).
I was not trying to present at all, entirely in guy mode, save for long hair, hairless legs, bigger butt and boobs.

Made me smile, Jess

Jessica .... yes indeed that should be quite affirming to you....
As more and more Spanish is spoken in the USA (and especially in California and other border states) your landscaping crew needs to be more careful when around Gringos.... especially Gringos that they are working for.

I know quite a bit of French and "some" German but not well enough to hold big and long complicated conversations.
In my previous job I had frequent business trips to Montreal, Quebec and a few other predominately french speaking cities and areas in eastern Canada....   and sometimes when the business people I found myself dealing with would converse among themselves in French, I did not let on that I understood what they were saying to each other....    sometimes that was a big advantage to me and my company and possible business dealings.   They would say the darnedest things because they didn't think that the American in their presence could understand French.

Thanks for posting your update.... and yes, you should have smiled to yourself as you did. 
Hugs,
Danielle

Hi friends, I've been getting my wardrobe together for this coming 4 day weekend.  It's the first time I've traveled as a woman, so I pray I've thought of items that I never had before.
This is what I've packed so far.  It fills a carry-on size case. (I now understand my wife's frustration when we travelled through Europe with only a carry-on and a daypack apiece.)

2 cute flared style dresses, one red the other floral
1 skirt
2 Capri style pants
2 GV Amanda pants
1 shorts
6 tops
6 panties
6 socks
4 pairs of shoes
Exercise clothes
2 sweaters and a jacket

Anything I missed?

Make up and such included.

Hugs and smiles, Jess

[Laurie]

But you told me days ago you were all ready to go.... hmmm. I haven't done anything to get ready yet.

A girl can change her mind anytime she wants to. 
And sis ....any advice is loved.

Hi friends, I am sitting in Laurie's home having a wonderful time talking with her sister.  Michelle and I arrived last night after an enjoyable ride together.  We all had a nice Skype video chat with @ElizabethK, it late for us, but not for her.
Laurie, Michelle and I will be heading to @Tessa James home in Astoria as soon as the wayward waif has packed her bag. 
I'm unsure if Tessa has any special plans for us, but I'm game for anything.
This will be my longest stretch of time presenting as a woman, four days.  I've only experienced a few day trips with these lovely ladies.  They are great role models for me.

Dear Jessica...  It is very wonderful to read your good report... yes, good friends that are also good role models are wonderful to have and to have near you and available to you.

I am glad that you are enjoying your 4 day out of town trip as a female and time with your friends.   As time goes on I suspect that you will have many more even longer times being in female mode...  it is a wonderful feeling isn't it !!!   I can attest to that for sure.

Thanks for posting your happy update, always enjoyable to read about the happenings in your life.
Hugs,
Danielle

Thank you Danielle for your response.
It is a wonderful feeling to be accepted as who I am.
And so that you know, you are one of my chosen role models also.

Hi friends, I have spent the last four days surrounded by estrogen!
If you have been wondering where half of Susan's Mods are, we converged on Tessa's for the Astoria Pride weekend!  @Laurie @Michelle_P and I represented Susan's Place in the parade.
During the block party @Kendra showed up, which thrilled us beyond thrilling!  The four of us had a great meal at T Paul's Supper Club, a local lgbtq friendly establishment.
Then it was on to the dance party! 3 hours of rapid movement which had me drenched by midnight.

Hugs and smiles, Jess
