I just thought I would check in to let everyone know business is booming. Did I actually get type that out?? lol
I landed two pretty large jobs that will take about eleven weeks to run but I'm so thankful for them. I will finally start voice therapy again next week after months of waiting to have the cash.
I have been limiting myself to 12 hours a day. I was working more but its just to much for me. I have also put on 6 pounds in the last few days and I'm up to 125. I would love to be around 150.
The only thing that has been bugging me is being lonely all the time and my good friend dysphoria driving me crazy. I have friends and family come by the shop to see me but its not the same you know. I'm still waiting to see a girl look back at me in the mirror everyday. I see a glimpse of her every once and a while.
One thing that helps me is making before and after pictures. It lets me see how far I have actually gone in this journey.
I found a picture of me from 4 years ago. Today I took a selfie in the shop (almost 9 months hrt) wearing the same hoodie I had on back then. Its amazing how much I have changed in that amount of time. I don't even remember looking like that. I'm not happy with myself yet, but I know I have a few years left and I do see improvement.
Love all of you!
