Just love a new fb group I joined. For women that love natural long nails. My kind of group, no cheap false nails, only pretty natural nails & nice women. We all take strong biotin. So happy to find my kind of group of women/people.

I went out for dinner, and afterwards on the way out a group of 20 women or so, asked me to take a group photo.  Which I did and they asked my name.  As I was leaving they were all saying "Thanks Jess", as I was leaving

Huzar!

It didn't rain today. It's been very wet the last week, typical when on holidays.
Went out for a nice 90k bike ride today after it warmed up a bit. A very pleasant winters day 20C +.
Able to do some outside painting as well over the side of the balcony by dangling Cindy by her ankles.
She did complain a bit though.

Tomorrow is looking good as well so will get out again.

Girls are sore again after a while of not much.
They keep growing and growing.

You cannot believe how much trouble you are going to be in when I get to Sydney

I had a day of housework. Steam cleaned the floors, washed the bedding. Cleaned the windows.

Lovely clean home again.

Feels nice.

And got my nails done again. Lovely purple shellac.

So what have I done now?

Perhaps something else to be happy about.

1 in a 100 and decreasing

One from left field.

I have been paying nursing home fees for the past eight years at the maximum level. An unbelievable $50,000 a year. (Yes, I'm now broke), I got a message today that I have been overcharged and will get a refund. Maybe, just maybe I will get enough to help people out.

I can at least dream

Well I hope it is a big refund Cindy.  And I thought I had enough money problems with getting my elderly Mum 24 hour care.  $50,000.00 a year, - that is shocking.

Hugs Cindy, you are one of the kindest people I know and you deserve a break.

I'm trying to schedule an iniatial visit with Dr. MacPhee in North Carolina. She seems very professional & most qualified for my GRS corrective surgery. I'm so glad there is someone kind of in the southeast USA. No desire for long expensive trips to larger northern or western cites in the US & certainly no desire to fly to some country 1/2 way around the planet. I want a physician near by for long term support. I'm a happy girl today.

My mom is in town, and is heading with me to Dr Kim in Korea.

That alone made me happy.

<billy mays voice>But wait, there's more!</billy mays voice>

So I asked her how it went when she told my aunt about my gender issues.

So basically they met up my aunt when she went to WDW (my mom doesn't live far from there). She told my aunt, "Hey so you know (Kate's old name) and I are going to Korea, and that's because (s)he's having surgery." And my aunt was concerned and worried, and said, "oh my god..."

Then my mom went in another room and told my cousin and cousin in law. My cousin in law and cousin were a bit surprised but they said that it is important to support me 100% because this is a medical condition and transition is the treatment. She also told my mom to tell my aunt the whole story.

So back to my aunt, my mom telling her that (Kate's old name) has to get surgery in Korea, my aunt fell silent and becomes majorly worried. Then my mom explained the gender thing to her, how I am transgender and I'm going for a transition related surgery.

My aunt breathed a huge sigh of relief, and said, "oh, that's all it is??? You had me worried, I thought it was cancer."

My cousin who is a doctor also said the same thing. She was worried that it was cancer too but then when she heard that it was trans related surgery, she said, "oh that? That's small ting. We love her no matter what, and tell her we need to have a girls night out when she visits."

I've actually had a good couple of days which grew out of one horribly bad one. On Saturday Sweetie went out to spend the day with our best local friend and have a b@@ch session. She left without saying a word that morning and didn't come back until past dinner time. I hadn't made dinner because I didn't know when or if she would be back. We talked about my condition and how she doesn't believe it's real. During this the same friend messaged me and wanted to meet for coffee. This is the friend I had posted elsewhere about saying I thought she didn't believe me. Sweetie told me I should go meet her.

It seems I had misunderstood her. She believes me, just had said that I was the last person she would have expected. Then she proceeded to spend two hours pulling my head out of my butt for me and finished up by giving me a belated birthday present, a makeup bag with some polish (not my color I think.) And some other necessary pretties and lots of presentation advice.

I went home for part two with Sweetie feeling much stronger. She told me all the usual and invited me to move into the spare bedroom. She doesn't believe I'm trans and can't understand why this one time I won't defer to her judgement. She went into the bedroom and I actually felt better because she now knew this is happening and I don't feel I can stop it.

Yesterday our friend and her husband were coming over in the afternoon and we needed to do some shopping. We went to our favorite tea shop and got more tea, sampling some great new ones. Having fun together like we used to. Sweetie got it into her head to turn the visit into a belated birthday party for me. We got some fruit and an ice cream cake. It was a wonderful day and a wonderful party. Some time during the day Sweetie told me it was time to come out to my sister.

I had wanted to do that in person, but a 600 mile trip just isn't possible right now, so this morning I called her. I had trouble getting it out but finally managed and received only love and acceptance from my big sister, my only close living relative. She was like another mother to me growing up. We chatted about being transgender for a while and signed off with her telling me to call more often and me promising to be a better little sister than I had been a little brother. She denied that I had been a bad little brother at all and we ended the call laughing!

What a wonderful few days!

I was having a really crummy day off today, and finally convinced myself to go shopping. Ended up at Wal-Mart like I always do and had a lady say hello to me, and somehow managed a really soft hello (I'm really nervous about talking yet) Two minutes later I'm looking at the shelf and she comes up to me and asked me what my name was. I thought "Oh,no what I'm a going to do? I'm I going to get clocked now or what?" I was lucky I picked up a new phone today and had it on my list app. So I just pointed at my mouth like I couldn't talk. I Know I'm really silly but I'm super shy even on a good day around random people plus I started shaking. So then she said "Do you have a cold or allergies?" So I just nodded and wrote my name out on my phone. She told me I looked really cute and had a wonderful smile and just wanted to tell me that. I guess the glasses, light blue top and black skirt made me look like a really nerdy girl.

Once I finally got done shopping I had a weird feeling that I can't describe come over me. I've never had a person out in public tell me I was cute or pretty. I guess I kind of know what it feels like to be warm and fuzzy on the inside now. And I guess I kind of passed finally.

Raven, that was a definite pass!

that's wonderful Dee! I'm scared to death of the day I have to tell my big sister. But hopefully it'll be as good.

For me..not into guys at all, but my avatar pic, posted on another site, got me hit on by an admirer... it still feels good tho:)

Saw my Doctor for my 3 month checkup and she added progesterone.

Well there were a few things that made me happy today, but one of these is a topic of a whole other thread, but the one I'll share here today was very simple:

Late in the evening as the sun was setting, sitting under the apple tree at the back of my backyard, with two of my dogs lying next to me as I sat in this very soft grass squishing it between my toes, feeling a soft cool breeze blow over my smooth legs while wearing shorts.

I totally coulda just lied down and fell asleep right there. It was so peaceful and comfortable. 

The last several days! I'm either asleep and dreaming or gibbering in a psych ward, it's too much like a wish fulfilment fantasy.

As I was cooking Sweetie was telling me about a post on her support group. After a year of me begging she finally joined one. During dinner she asked if I was going full time in the next several months because I should get my ID in order for our cruise.

I told her about coming out to my sister. I had also intended to tell her best friend, her brother and the couple who were our best man and matron of honor (we had been theirs.) She said might as well get it over with and we called all of them. Every call went well.

She also apologized that she's not yet prepared to take me wardrobe shopping and was OK with our friend going with me.

I don't know who or what turned her around but I'm extremely grateful!
