That is great Katelyn! Finding a therapist who you connect with is so important.

After not feeling so well for the past few days I went out for a walk tonight.  Clear night, not too cold and no rain in sight; - a good night for a walk.  Tired and sore when I got back home, but it was lovely to have been out and about on my own two feet again.

Living with a chronic illness as I do I embrace the small pleasures in life whenever they come my way.

Congrats girl!  Feels great doesn't it.  Nothing like taking out your license and seeing the F on it.

Thank you!  It really is a fantastic feeling! 

Yesterday I was at the VA Hosp. for appointments.  As I was getting ready to get on an elevator, a fellow veteran held the door open for me and said "Go right in pretty lady" Really made me tingle and glow!

I was heading out for the day and just happened to glance at my  shadow and thought..."well she's cute" Made me happy today

Wow! That reminds me. I got out of the car last evening and looked down at my shadow. Definitely not a male shadow.

What really makes me happy everyday though is how long my hair is getting for the first time in my life! And I always dreamed of what my natural color would look like grown out...now I know

All I can do is smile at this. Somthing so small, and yet its these small things that I find so amazing. So insignificant to others and yet a small thing like this has to power to make one feel good even me the simplicity of it, you hear stories of people climing mountins and yet do they realy feel any better then you after you put pink hair ties in your pony tail?

Well that said seeing what you wrote made me forget what I came here to write, thinks...

Oh yes thats it,

Today my bofriend (who is two years down from me) said I looked so young he felt bad about being attracted to me . And Being 28 and just passing another bday I felt like I got a year younger instead of older.

Flying out of Burbank airport as Jessie for the first time and did not have any of the issues like I did the last time I flew out of there. It was uneventful

When I got home I discovered that I had received my Law School and Undergraduate diplomas in the mail today.  They have my new name.  WoooHoooo!!!

Chiselled my nails, tried to combine this blouse with a plain skirt but didn't really feel great untill I added a piece of jewelry.
Scared ->-bleeped-<-less when I noticed my parents came back home. Immediately put back on my normal clothes.
Totally forgot about the makeup xD.
I guess that's good.
They didn't freak out.
Yay.

I went to see my GP today, and she ordered, and I got my blood drawn for baselines to start HRT in October! So excited and scared. I was in tears sitting in the lab waiting room. I tried not to make a scene!

A Sephora employee told me my eyebrows looked fabulous. Means a lot to me since I'm an autodidact and only started plucking a couple of months ago.

Thanks ladies. Yes it was so cool to see my new name on my diplomas. I got them framed and took them into work with me today.

Congrats Sigyn. I bet you can't wait to start HRT.

Got home tonight and it was a perfect night for running. I was able to go 6.55 miles in a little over an hour.

So much good news! Congrats ladies, one step at a time and we get to the end of a journey.
lovely!
