yay, an update already!
I'll start with the biggest news first... I got the letter from my doctor today to get my gender marker changed at the dmv!! I'm gunna go Monday if I can't make it down there tomorrow. This is so exciting!
I went shopping yesterday too. I got some new workout clothes, a pair of shorts, a casual dress (it's pretty short, I think I'm gunna have to wear it with leggings so it might not get worn until fall), I got a black cardigan (I was having trouble finding one I liked all winter, NOW i get one as it gets warm lol), and I got some belts. I was going to go jog as a woman this morning but I ran into an issue. I was woken up at 530 this morning by my carbon monoxide alarm! I thought it must have been malfunctioning, I had the furnace off and 3 windows open, but I still got dressed as quick as I could and got out. I was meeting my dad later so I initially dressed as a male, this was my first time seeing him since I came out and I didn't think he would be ready to see me as a girl yet. I did grab my new jogging clothes though but I realized I forgot my sports bra and some panties, so I just jogged as a male, boo! it turns out the detector was broke, the movers hit it the other day and it fell so that must have damaged it. I got a new one today and it works fine and it hasn't gone off after the initial test.
So my talk with my dad went well. My step mom did cry at one point though when she said it would be really hard to use the name Maddie. My dad seemed bummed but it sounded like in time he will be ok, he was concerned with my safety and also my financial stability since I'm looking for a new job. I've worked construction with him for the last 7 years and he said he's still down to work with me and that this one company actually wants me on a job sometime next month. If I can't find a new job by then I guess I will take it just to stay busy and earn money, but I really would like something else. He also said he would help me with my couch issue that I mentioned the other day, I think he and I are going to pick it up tomorrow. We went to the dog park too and that was nice, it was my first time there and I made a lot of new fur friends! it was so cute!
I talked to my mom last night too, she called me. She said she hasn't told anyone about my transition yet because she's still trying to process it herself. A couple months ago she took some of my old male clothes to a consignment shop for me and she said shes gunna go back so I asked her if she could take some more stuff there for me and she said yes, which is great because I have a lot of old women's clothes to get rid of, and now I can make a little money off them!
I hope everyone has a great weekend, maybe I'll post some pics here soon from my friend's bridal shower on saturday!
