Deck railing came in, now 2 days of rain forecast. It will have to wait. 
  Only 39 days till bottom surgery!! Whoohoo! So much I want to get done before then and starting to feel the crunch.
   Voice lessons are going well. Focusing a lot on voice strengthen and range exercises. Less breathiness, more emphasis on speaking each word more clearly projected out and not from the chest or throat. I'm working with a nice voice app which helps with the pitch and offers playback.

I've come to the conclusion that even if I have bottom surgery, but continue to hide it, I will only be more unhappy. I probably needed HRT to give me at least enough boobs so that I would have to come out. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. Sometimes I feel like I'm just going through the motions until my time is up. I truly envy those of you who have succeeded at fully transitioning, but to be honest, sometimes it just makes me feel sad about myself. Sorry for this. It's just one of those days!

For me 60! I had always considered I had time to transition at some point, latter.... 60 was an eye opener and I finally said, I just can't wait any longer if I wanted to enjoy what's left of my life. And I've never been happier!!!

Well so far so good, after a good nights sleep even my dodgy right eye is in focus. Sun is out with light cloud and I woke full of beans. How long that will last who knows ?
 Folk festival in town this weekend being a bank holiday Monday as well, not that I will be going .Not into Morris dancing or singing with a finger in my ear.
 Call from the docs the other day, you need to book a blood test for HRT levels. About time they checked ,letter from GIC motivated them with what to do. For the last 2 years no one has been doing it and I gave up checking.

Another reported an allegation of Representative Matthew Gaetz harassing girls outside of a locker room.[/color]

Probably true, we all know what male right wing politicians are like

Most of my collection thus far comes from one of two spots-walmart and amazon.

Cheryl was the one who painted my nails in college. i had a nickname resembling a certain celebrity who was making news for painting his nails, so she was like, lets do it. so there i was at like 19, on a conservative college campus, with metallic blue paint. and that is on our list again

i don't mind trying, but ill be honest-when i would travel, to take all the makeup with me was...a lot...because i just dont know what i want to do or not do, so i bring everything, and then i overpack. and then i get there, and i get lazy. having her to show me, and having her to go have a glass of wine with, knowing that she knows and knowing that she expected it will be cheryl and jamie? that's what i need.

its funny that way. when i came to terms, it was mostly me around the house, without my family knowing, and i was happy getting by with panties under my "normal" clothes. then as i traveled, i hung out in the hotels with jeans and a top, or even a dress. i dabbled more in going more all in. and every time i have, it's kind of like...OK, i need to top that, because doing the little bits like at the beginning aren't cutting it. on one hand, hearing that makes me worry it's more a fetish, but i and my therapist agree it's not. it's more me knowing that i just achieved more happiness than i had before, and anything less than that is just not worth my time. sounds a little crazy, but thats me. which worries me, because i am going to get all dressed, makeup, hair, nails...go OUT with her...and then will i be able to put jamie back in the bottle? and if so...for how long? fun times ahead...

Hi Everyone

I was browsing Susan's and obviously I found this old thread, although I have mentioned before when I changed my life around, I will mention it here as well and a brief summary.  So without further ado:

•   I change my life around in Feb 1989 I was 30 years old.
•   Started HRT Mar 1989.
•   Working and living as a female since Feb 1989
•   I had SRS in Feb 1991

Words cannot describe how happy my life has been since Feb 1989.

Love and Hugs
