Got a pay rise today. Only works out at £4 a week, but it's better than nothing. Getting it back paid from January too.

I got it! $5 each for a month's worth of estradiol patches and Spiro pills! And I still have $10.76, not including what's set aside for the bus!

Yay! So glad you finally got your HRT. Congrats!

I'm two days away from an appointment for beginning bloodwork and shtuff :3

Conversely, this could also in things I'm sad about, since I'm still two whooole days away

6 months, 2 days since I've stayed trying to get them. Exactly 3 months after my birthday, I finally have them. I apply a patch tonight and start Spiro in the morning. But first, I dine, at Snyder! The best caf on campus. But because it's after 8, they're no longer serving dinner. And that means that turd Brian will probably be there, for pub menu.
I'm getting myself a juicy double mozzarella, bacon, and pickle burger. The only time I'll eat bacon.
Tonight, I feast and fiesta like a queen!

Congratulations, Lauren! +1 for perseverance.

Portia.

I was ma'amed at Costco today! (Granted it happens about 50% of the time) but since I admitted to myself I am transgender I have really begun to notice and appreciate it!
Still in complete guy mode... No hrt or anything....

This always seems to happen in Costco and at Starbucks' I don't frequent... Maybe women are more common at those places so it is the default "neutral" title?

It's possible. Of the two Starbucks near me, one I get called sir at, the other miss. and they're not really that far apart.

Got in quite some trouble for writing my own 'Dick 'n Jane' book, especially when I read it out loud in front of the class - Not my fault, that was the assignment and the teacher didn't proof read beforehand

Can't be any worse than when I would do book reports on serial killers and include the gruesome details of their crimes. People thought I was a total psycho since I was always reading about all of this bloody carnage.

I've got a date for Friday night!

A most satisfying nap.
But I missed the first half of the hockey game. The boys down the hall are probably going mad, Montreal was leading 2-0 and then Detroit scores.
There's still half a game to go, I hope we can hang on to the lead!

I had a really good day. I'm trying to find words to describe it.

I came out to a friend from college today. (He was very supportive, and we are even planning a stealth reunion with other friends after I transition) but interestingly I am the 4th transgender person to come out to him prior to transition.... He doesn't understand why... I guess he just has one of those personalities?

We had a nice 2 hour video chat afterwards so it was a good day!

woke up happy. had a good therapy session last night and had also come out to a coworker/friend. so today I woke up in a really good place. And then another coworker/friend came in to my office all excited. When I was taking a walk during my lunch break one of the students thought I was a guy. Which was awesome and the fact that my friend was so excited and eager to share was totally awesome. Feeling really lucky and thankful for my work place and friends.

The Hatsune Miku game was cheaper than I expected. 

If I think of something I'll let you know 

Nothing! Because nothing or no-one can MAKE someone happy or unhappy. YOU make yourself happy or unhappy based on YOUR OWN attitudes and perceptions of things. It's a rather stupid subject really! 

I am packing to go to Santa Barbara County for the weekend for wine tasting and to see my parents.

Be back Sunday night...

How about "What stimuli prompted a release of serotonin and/or dopamine today?"
