The background is HRT since December, finally "right-sized (it's about time). Work doesn't know yet - that's coming next year.
Today, I had the first calm, stress-free day there in a long time. I'm sure that it's the hormones kicking in because I felt positive all day, even when the software and the network went "south'. My emotions are clearly being affected by my hormone therapy. During the past week, I found myself in tears at the end of a couple of Netflix movies that I was watching, on two consecutive nights. I don't think I ever cried at a movie in my life. And, you know, it felt good. We shall see if this calm feeling continues next week. I really felt like Barbara at work today, though. More proof that I am doing the right thing.
For the record, the rest of my transition seems to be proceeding normally. My skin is better, my breasts are developing reasonably well, and I sense a little growth around my hips. Time will tell.

Dear Barbara:
This great news regarding your HRT and the effects that you are now experiencing... yes indeed, crying can be a new thing for sure... and your breast development will really start moving along even more....
... there is much more to come, so buckle up and get ready for the exciting journey ahead.
I will be eagerly looking for your additional updates as you progress toward your goals.
