Great Kate!  Have a blast doing that.

My sister is getting married today and because "he" was the one invited and not Jessie it was made clear to me that I was not wanted.  Saved me having to buy them a wedding gift.

My lesbian cousin is going to get married.

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

  I joined the Dyke March today in Toronto despite torrential rains all afternoon.  The sea of umbrellas was just as colourful as all the brave people.  We lesbians are a determined, hardy bunch - some might say fool-hardy!  There wasn't a dry foot in the bunch.  Mine still feel odd from hours of cold soaking and marching for the second day in a row.

Pride. Painted my nails for the first time last night. Rainbows of course 

Even though I'm mostly stuck in the closet, I loved seeing everyone full of pride... Quite a few Trans* flags waving today. Loved it.

Got a pedicure today! All red nails

On three separate occasions today, I was in stores to buy something...and the men in front of me took a look (to see if they were the head of the line, or me; they were there before so I knew it was them) and then they deferred, and said variants of:

"Let the lady go first."

"You can help her first."

"She only has one thing, she can go."

Before today, such events were inconceivable even just once a day, let alone three!!!

Just opened my female gmail account.

Getting to see and have lunch with someone in person who I have only talked to via Skype before today.

Cool, meeting new people & making new friends is such fun really. I love it. Have fun GF.

Back at work
500 emails to deal with.

Saw a picture taken on our work bushwalk I organised a few weeks ago.
So obvious

I spoke to my sister to tell her I'm working again. She told me she had told all her kids and grandkids (as I had asked her to) that I'm trans. My grand nephew responded with "cool!" Ah, acceptance! I feared you might be denied me. My family lives in Michigan, where they party like it's 1899. At least I know I CAN go home!

I got a private FB from my older sister. She has previously expressed her sadness of losing her brother, even though she has been openly accepting of her new sister.

She posted. Look out for my hard nosed sister, she gets things done and I love her.

I finally took the plunge and added another stud to each ear... I now have two earrings in each ear.  I bought a couple self piercing kits from ebay a while back and finally had the courage to do it. The top stud is the starter gold stud and the bottom stud is a gold ball 5mm in size.

I'm starting to let go of a lot of obsessive thinking

Just be the positive light in life you want to be 
Be the change

I received a number of compliments at work today about my outfit. I made my jewelry and I matched up the top to a fuchsia skirt that I had found at a thrift store.  Made me happy that I had put it all together in a way that others found nice. I'm wearing it in my current avatar.

I had two conversations with IT & Business consultancy companies today, praying that one or the other will start to produce some financial relief for me... fingers x'd
(It's holding my transitioning up! massively)

You look nice & happy but maybe the earrings are a little much, they stand out too much it seems but if it makes you happy, life is good.

I had my first appointment with my new therapist today.  My therapist is a man and I was very good and didn't take his head to hang on my belt or anything.  He's a nice guy actually and it looks like I'll be able to work with him just fine.  It's amazing how much the stuff that happened over the course of my 61 year long life got compressed into a tight little angry ball inside my head and now I've started unknotting it all I'm amazed just how much there is of it.  Some small tears and sadness after my appointment, but I'd wisely obtained chocolate for myself earlier in the day.

I've got another appointment next Tuesday so everything's looking good

I went to Liverpool for the first time,spent the morning in the Walker art gallery,pizza for lunch and a trip on a sightseeing bus.I also got my compression bandage took off my leg,the ulcer has healed well enough to do without it.
