I spoke to my immediate boss, she clarified things a little more, she said the CEO didn't have a negative reaction as in transphobic, but was very shocked since he has known me a number of years. She did not think that it was worth me sending an email to him as it wasn't something that was on his radar, he was shocked, made sure I can still do my job ok (well duh!) and has moved on satisfied, that is all he was really bothered about. I'll bump in to him at some point later this year and make time to have a chat, I'm picking my battles these days.
Had a pretty good week off from work and spent some quality time with the kids, who thankfully are all totally accepting of me, the only issue we have which is understandable that Dad and him or his naturally go together in a sentence, they try to call me Nicole but old habits die hard, I love them so they are automatically forgiven for using the wrong pronouns, time will hopefully make the issue go away.
I spoke to my sister on Thursday, she is a few years older than me, she is the first person I came out to and have been disappointed that she has never really accepted me as a woman, she says she is ok but her actions say otherwise, our conversations are polite and we ask about each other's family's but she has no interest in my transition and never asks. I'm quite upset about it, I would love to have close sisterly relationship but it's not to be.
I tried out my new nail polish [emoji3]
