Fiance accused me of using my girl voice with her, but I was just using a slightly higher than normal pitch that was elevated using my mouth instead of my throat. After recording it and playing back, I found the resonance was exactly what I've been searching for. So now I just need to practice certain words that sound more masculine. I would like to get the pitch higher though, but I seem to be at my limit for that type of speaking.

I called my grandma today and she thought I was my sister

Appt. in 3 weeks with a very nice surgeon for my GRS. She seems very nice & we communicate easily on my FB page. I look forward to meeting her & she looks forward to meeting. She already seems like another girl friend. I'm a pretty happy woman tonight.

FrancisAnn, Good luck

Thanks. I feel good & she seems very nice. The fee is a little high but I think she is going to lower it when she secures a new hospital to use for her surgeries. This should be relatively easy corrective surgery compared to all my previous surgeries, facelift, eye lid surgery, facial scar revision, liposuction & a tummy tuck. Nothing can hurt like a tummy tuck. I will finally feel like a normal person, a woman.

I've been having an absolutely phenomenal week, as I've been reporting here almost daily. Today I may have actually gotten a job! At least they sent me for a drug test and who does that if they're not intending to hire? It's not a great job but it's more than I've had these last sorry 8 months. Not coming out there right away but I can't see it being an issue given how famous they are for idiosyncratic staff and customers. Yes, siblings, I am about to be one of the People of WalMart!

I had my first face laser treatment 17 days ago. Today I was rubbing my chin and some hairs would remain on my fingers. Results!

That's great Dee.

Getting a manicure and switching away from acrylic nails while at the same time getting a French Manicure for the first time.

My new therapist has been in contact and I have an appointment on Tuesday next week.  Now perhaps I can start to work on some of the cr@p that's been knocking me around lately.
He had a very cute sounding English accent on the phone so I'm keeping an open mind.  I've never been to a male therapist before and with my not entirely fairly grounded prejudice towards the male species I'm going to have to be on my best behaviour and try to make this work.

Feeling a lot better today and not being bothered by fatigue and narcolepsy symptoms (touch wood) so I might be able to get some things done.

I stood up for myself to an uncle that refuses to call me by my name and keeps using my old one. Even though he is very aware of me. It gnawed on me for a couple days and actually had me pretty upset. Finally shot of an email to him. I didn't try to act mean it was just tactful and I explained my situation. Haven't heard anything back and probely never will but I don't mind. And it made me a lot happier to get my emotions out.

I came out to my older sister tonight on the phone. I was kind of worried about what her reaction might be, but I was pleasantly surprised. She said she doesn't really understand but she supports my decision none the less. I haven't spoken with many members of my family for a while and I hope that this might be the start of a better relationship. She said she may be texting me more with questions and I really hope she does. I think she liked the idea of having a sister.
To be honest, I've been very scared of coming out and I'm really surprised at how well it's going with family and friends.
Now if I can get a decent paying job again (congrats to Dee on her new job) I can hopefully get my life back in order and progress towards the new, or at least improved me.

Yes, mere writing it down should release tension.

I saw this on my mom's facebook wall.

She is not afraid to use the "D" word.

Mariah, look for a FB page called Glorious Nails Naturally. Almost a miracle oil that makes natural nails grow strong. Women all over the world use & love it. It's inexpensive. Good for you to ditch false nails, hate false ugly cheap nails. I've always grown natural nails, you can do it!

I'm healing up very well from my tummy tuck surgery. The doc was most pleased yesterday & I'm sure a happy girl today. It was tough for a while, some infection, had to change antibodics,,such pain, oh me what a scare.

Got new white, heeled sandals. Crazy discount.

White and light gray are my fav colors. They go with black and pink accents.

Managed to walk over five miles. Only about twenty pounds and I'll meet my goal weight.

My lesbian cousin is going to get married.

Aaaaand I'm gonna be the maid of honor!!!
