Before COVID, women would ask me for advice in the grocery store!
That never happened when I was presenting as a guy!

Not only are you a pretty girl, but you're an outdoors girl, which is my favorite kind of girl!

Yesterday, in a nearby town, I saw a transwoman exiting a grocery store. She wore a long, flowered skirt and a patterned  shirt and vest. Color and pattern atop color and pattern atop color and pattern, a rudimentary fashion mistake, which invite a second look all by itself...and that second look took me to a face not sufficiently softened by estrogen, which is why I clocked her. I expect you wouldn't make that mistake, but do use your wife as a fashion consultant, which is something nearly all women do.

  I received my pre-surgery packet yesterday. Now only 32 days away. This is starting to get very 'real'!! I can't believe I am finally going to do this. I find I'm a bit emotional, worrying something will stop it, excited, concerned for my business while I'm unable to work... you name it. The only thing I'm not, is questioning if I should do it. That I'm sure of!!
  Weight loose still is at a nearly stand still. I've added using the elliptical most nights. A piece of fruit for lunch. Some celery for a snack. I guess I have to cut out the desert after dinner.

Better bring plenty of bred crumbs next time you go into the cave.  Sounds like a lot of fun, finding a rough stone and turning into a beautiful piece of jewelry. I have to agree, you really look like a young woman in those pics. Looking good Lori. 

Three gigs this weekend, played one last night. Show was ok except for one confrontation.

Guitar players 'wife' (they aren't married) takes it upon herself to tell complete strangers about me. This time it happened where I knew about it. I got in her face, loudly, and called her to task. Saying that I 'saw red' would be an understatement.

I really don't feel like expounding, suffice it to say  while she is always doing things to be center of attention, I don't think she liked the kind of attention she received from me and those close by who could overhear.

The guys wanted to know what happened so I told them, they sided with me, of course, they didn't like how I did it at a show in public. I didn't care, it had to be done. I told them I'd quit the group before I'd put up with it anymore.

The guitar player said he'd talk to her. Trust me, he will and she won't like that either. He's very supportive of me and she steps out a lot. It's not the first time, simply the first time that I was in a position to respond.
