What made me happy was moving into a place with hot water and a working furnace!

Things that have made me happy recently?

I haven't bit my fingernails in 24 hours. A terrible habit, and I'm trying to kick it. I bought some of that anti bite nail polish and it seems to be working. This is a good start!

Areolas. I'm sure they weren't this big and feminine looking before! I never noticed the change, either it happened overnight, or I spend too much time trying to cover up in ugly jumpers.

Also, ugly jumpers. I can not be the only person that loves ugly jumpers. Ugly jumpers lovers unite.

I suppose the final thing would be getting lasered last Saturday. Not a fun process, but in the past couple of days, I am certain a bit of the shadowing has disappeared.

There is hope for you.  I was a life-long nail-biter until I came out a couple of years ago.  Now I always keep my nails shaped and polished.  You do that, you'll stop biting them.

The extra bonus is that I get more compliments on my nails than on any other aspect of my presentation.  Most women don't bother much with their nails, so when they see somebody who does, they're quite impressed.  (At least some of them are.  Maybe others think it's rather stupid.  But I don't worry about that.  I love looking after my nails.)

For strong nails, Biotin, in a very high dosage, inexpensive & available most anywhere. It works GF's.

Let us know how this^^___^^ works out. I have a stubborn lil tummy myself and dam near have tried everything to get rid of it shy of losing more weight. I'm 5-5 a lil under 120 now tho, and if I lose too much weight I'm afraid it may come off my booby's.

I am a super budget girl, the machine cost usd 1.2k including shipping. Calculated it will be more cost efficient to DIY compared going to a clinic where each treatment cost usd700-1000 per area.

Tested it , everything works fine, now just waiting for my anti-freeze pads to arrive then I can start the 1st treatment. Going to play with the RF and cavitation functions later tonight on my elephant thighs and arms.

I flew down to visit Mom Wednesday, to introduce her to her oldest daughter, and help her with the loss of her oldest son.

For two days, she's been calling me by my old name, I told her this morning, on the way to church, I'm sorry, Mom, I am going to stop responding when you call me that name..  she said old habits..  yeah yeah..  well.. today, after church, back home, siting at the table, drinking coffee, she called me Paula..  and..  amazingly, I didnt begin to cry, as I thot i would..   I know she has not arrived, neither have i, but..  she looks at me just a little differently.  a good thing, I think.. idk..  My sister.. well, the jury is still out, just as I am to the World..  I am full time now, everywhere I go, I am Paula.. everywhere.. so yeah, i guess I have arrived.. I will just wait for the rest of the world to catch up..  and all I have .. is time..

So, Mom called me Paula, at least once.. I hope, it happened more often.

Well done, Sydney!  I got one of those, too.  It's beautiful, isn't it?  (Could be costly, though.  It makes you want to take a trip around the world, stopping in every little country you can get to, just so you can show the thing at the border.  "Lookee here, guys!  That's me!")

I know, my wife and I are thinking about a cruise very soon

For work though I really needed it as I could have to go to Toronto at any time soon for a possible software setup.

I came out to my brother-in-law and I could not have asked for a more welcoming response.

Breasts letting me know they are waking up again. Had a massive growth spurt the last couple of days

I have some very good friends. I've been so frustrated with stopping my facial hair growth that I wanted to just give up. However several close cis women friends encouraged me to take it easy & continue to become the nice woman they know I am inside. So I'm over it & back to normal I hope. I still hate my remaining facial hair but I'm sure happy for my very good friends.

Afte spending a lil time helping mom shred old papers, and talking more abt what I, we, are going thru, I said.. "hmmm, there is something at Village Inn (diner).calling my name. " Mom asked "what/" I said "Im not sure but I'll know when we get there!"
She replied, not really up for going out but getting a but hungry."

I said "well, you saw right thru me.. it was a thinly veiled attempt at spending some time out with my mom"
But she got up, and we went.  Spent some nice time out with her, talking a little bit more. She called me my old name several more tines again and while it hurt I didn't get disgusted or hurumph much.  I paid for dinner.. that's what daughters do for their moms.  I think anyway.  After we returned home, she thanked me for a nice evening, a nice experience.. we hugged.  Said I still hug like her son.. said sorry, its the only way I know how, plus, I'm much taller than she is.

So, some nice mother-daughter time together, I was totally gendered correctly,  there was a big ol' southern boy that kept lookin' at me but I was ignoring him.  Mom's just a lil more used to me now,  And, I guess that's all that matters.

My sister is a whole different story.  That, is for the What Made You Sad Today thread.

I came out to my dad and he said that we'll go to the GP and if we have the money try to get private treatment so I don't have to wait for the NHS 

This was yesterday,

I told my teachers at school what I want to be called. Through out the term they have really helped and supported me
