Title: Happy day
Post by: Danielle Emmalee on November 28, 2014, 04:54:34 AM
Just thought I'd share my day as it was a pretty positive one.

So first, I went grocery shopping after work and had to go to the bathroom.  I asked a lady that worked there if they had a washroom and she led the way, pointing me towards the ladies (it was one of those places where the mens was fairly far away from the ladies).  Yay!

Then as I left the bathroom there was a couple people staring at me and whispering, so that kind of killed the good feeling, until I walked just close enough to pick up on what they were saying and all I heard was "so pretty".  A nice reminder that just because people are watching you and whispering it isn't always a bad sign :)

When I got home my roommate (my ex-wife's sister) told me she left me a dress in front of my room because it didn't fit her.  So I tried it on and loved it!  Went to say thanks and she told me it looked good...(OMG what the heck is happening to me today lol?)

Lastly, I was looking for something to be unhappy about (yes, I can be pretty self-destructive when too many good things happen, I don't know why I do it) and I just kind of realized that pretty much nothing physical has been changing from HRT yet and it's been more than 2 months (I know YMMV and I can't just expect things to happen early because they do to other people) well I went to go take a bath and taking off my bra, I rubbed it against my nipples and dang it hurt, they are like super sensitive and maybe a little bigger? 

It's almost like nothing can go wrong today...no matter how hard I try lol

Went to get my name changed today.  The girl who took my application at the registry (dmv) was a friend of mine (well, more of an acquaintance, she's friends with my ex-wife).  I figured she would recognize me, but then she was like, "I helped you before with something, right?" So, I was like "do you not know who I am?" "ummmmm......" "I was married to [ex's name]..." followed by jaw dropping....lol

Kind of wish I just let her figure it out from the application. 

Anyways, yay, I will soon be legally Danielle

And she corrected herself when she called me sir.

Thanks for sharing, always great to hear positive experiences. They can and do happen! And as you noted above, sometimes we can be our own worst enemy by reading things into situations or looking for ways to spoil the fun!

Little girl saw me sitting beside my school bus and asked her mom, "what's that girl doing"?  Her mom said "She's probably texting, mind your own business."  feels good to be gendered correctly when it's not just to be polite.

Just thought I'd take a peek at the government adoption website.  Not a smart idea.  Starting bawling my eyes out like crazy.  I don't even know what emotion I'm feeling.  Think I've reached a new level of estrogen
