I had a much better tennis game today. It has not been going too well in the last few weeks. My serve was hot! Still playing with the men, but I don't know for how much longer. If my breasts start to develop, I will have to make a decision. Not out at the club!

At the mall a gentleman held the door for me and did the "ladies first" gesture for me. It's such a small thing but made me feel really good.

Getting another mega session of electrolysis done today. Somewhere between 6 and 7 hours with 2 techs. That will make a total of 45-47 hours done. Half way point?

One word:  Ouch! !!! 

I'm about 85 hours in but you're going to pass me in no time with sessions like that, I can't take more than an hour at a time.   I've tried two hour sessions a few times and just can't lay there that long!

Awesome work, keep it up!    😀

Yesterday I got in touch with so many new people. After a highly dysphoric week, it felt so soothing to talk to new people and reaffirm connections with those I already knew.

This past week has been really nice, nothing super eventful really, just my girlfriend moved into a new place she'll be staying in for the next 6-10 months (She'll be moving in next summer/February! So excited!) and so now she FINALLY has actual internet. We're in a LDR, but we still communicated by messaging on Facebook and stuff, but now we can Skype and play games together again and it's such a wonderful privilege.

I also went to see my dentist and he gave me some stuff so I could fix my tooth pain (He also told me i'll need to get all my wisdom teeth removed when they grow in because my mouth is too small but I digress.) And I get to meet my new HRT endocrinologist this tuesday (old doctor retired 🙁 ) So yeah I had a pretty awesome week. 🙂

This week, and last week I've been getting out in my community and socializing.  Apparently, I have a lot of good things to say, and have been invited to help run the local chapter of PFLAG here in austin, and also to help with TENT(transgender Education Network of Texas) although that latter one isn't any kind of official stance, I feel really good about getting out and hopefully making an impact for Trans people in my area 😀

I'm sure happy for liquid polish removal stuff even if it is non acetone based which is nicer for my nails. I tried again some gold glitter type Fair Maiden polish last night & this morning, yuck. Such ugly polish. I'll be a happy girl for a nice pretty color simple nail polish.

I like "Paint the town" from maybeline.  I get complimented alot on it too.

You can't tell i'm MTF but yesterday a transwoman ticked me on the shoulders and said everything will be ok.
(omg she and her hubby were too cute also)

I have an idea for leaving the house so i'm going to call a therapist on monday and get this thing kicking before I realize how much of my life i've wasted!!!!

Learned today that my new name & gender are now official at the Veterans Admin.  Going Tuesday to get a new pic. & official U. S. Government ID.

Got my new eyebrow scissors today. I was in such a trouble after I lost ones I had before. Now I can decently work on my eyebrows again!

Didn't realize that today has been thirty days since I've gone full time. Seems just like last week I was walking into work for the first time. Only now do I realize I don't look into a mirror every so often or worry as much.

After trying to get Verizon to change my name for a year, they finally straightened out my name and have it corrected everywhere. Someone higher up finally got it done after they messed it up for so long. The issue was that they have 3 different systems for billing and accounts plus the wireless division. (I have the all-in-one billing with Internet/TV and wireless on one bill with a bundle discount.) They also had outsourced parts of their system as well. The was the last thing with my old name on it that's active.

Awesome on the name change Sydney.  I am starting that process now myself.  Lots of paperwork. 

Today I notified HR that I plan to go full time at the start of November.  For some reason they need 3 months notice though the HR person didn't know why either.  Everything went cool and so far management has been supportive. 

What made me happy? Opening the mail after 18 months of having to explain myself, and sending my Fifth Amended Packet of Information to some nebulous 'moral character committee', and reading the first paragraph:

"The Committee on Character and Fitness has concluded the review of your application and determined you have satisfied admission standards. Accordingly, the Committee has recommended you to the practice of law in Arizona, and membership in the State Bar of Arizona."

From a couple of weeks ago now but getting new boobs.  My old breast forms were bought about 20 years ago and are a bit too small for my build.

This guy in front of me in line at a coffee place told the cashier he'd buy her orange, I was standing next in line with my orange.
