Over the last week+ a lot's happened to me, some sad/bad stuff but mostly it's been good/happy stuff and I want to share these with everyone, though some stuff I do have concerns/questions for so, thanks if anyone can answer/ease them and I hope everything is going well for all of you and if it isn't, I hope it gets better and works out.
Note: For the list below, it all made me happy and if something didn't make me happy, I'll point it out.
Bought my first ever boots as well as my first ever high heels. They hurt to walk in, more so the high heels but I love them, although, I wasn't happy to find a note printed on the inside of the lid where it's easily missed after I got home that said this product may contain materials that have been known in the state of California to cause Cancer -_- birth defects (Not worried as I'll never have kids sadly) and reproductive harm. (I'm assuming that means leave you unable to have kids which if that's the case then, not worried for same reason as the other, if it means reproductive harm in another way then, I would be concerned then) Thing is, I don't live in the state of California (Strange it's limited to that 1 state and not the whole US o_O) and I don't want to return the boots, but I am worried about the cancer and the last thing there if it's the other meaning... Am I worrying over nothing here? Are the boots and high heels supposed to hurt when you stand and walk with them? How do I clean them?
Cats coming up to me wanting love :angel:
Finding out I don't have any medical debt (Note, this stuff takes a long time to process so it is still possible I could get another bill in the mail but as of now, the one I did have was covered already)
Eating out at many different places, though this also made me upset with myself as I don't do this hardly ever, if I gain weight, well, haha ^_^'
Finding out minus a few things that physically I'm alright (Though I still have that enlarged prostate mess to deal with so that might prove otherwise...)
Finally being able to walk to places again as well as being called ma'am each time I did. :)
I also go back to work later this week (Found my hours out finally) and I also plan to use my new female voice there. I'm worried and scared, mainly about what people who know me will say about the voice (As they already know I'm trans or at least they should given what all went down but never said a word to me on it and barely asked questions) and ask about it, especially around customers and new employees who don't know me yet. I also don't know how to answer them as I don't want to tell them I'm trans, any advice?
There might be more but, I forget atm. If I remember I'll post it here though. :) Also, a little hint from me, I've been keeping a very good update about myself to myself and I plan to share it by Halloween at the latest, not here but in a new thread in this area. Don't you just LOOOVE surprises. ;) And that's it, you'll not get another word out of me on this update till later. :-X

The warning label from California I wouldn't worry about. I actually saw the exact same warning on an optical drive I was going to take apart and clean a while back. I took the cover off, saw that, and was like, "Ehh... I guess it's clean enough," and put it back on, lol. But I'd wear the shoes. If you want my opinion, it's probably just hippie hysteria and poses no real danger. And birth defects from wearing shoes? Now I'm extremely skeptical of that claim.

I really wouldn't worry about the warning label. California has a habit of putting that label on just about everything. Also, with shoes, leather ones at least, it's the chemical used to cure the leather. Most of the time they use chromium for curing because it makes the leather ideal for shoemaking and it's quite cheap.

The end result of pointless litigation I suppose...potentially everything gives you cancer.
As for walking in them, check out YouTube there are doubtless countless videos on the subject. I don't wear high heels much but can walk in them by putting most of my weight into my toes since I'm effectively walking tippy toe anyway. Don't expect any support or stability from the heels.
Good luck at work!
