Well it has been a eventful week for me! We went on our first cruise, three nights, and it was not bad. My SO and I had lots of time to talk. We talked about me filling out the papers for my name and gender change this coming spring, and setting in motion the process for surgery, gender correction surgery or here in my province, gender affirming surgery.The wait is due to the fact that we are going to be spending the winter in the sun, leaving in 2 weeks! This is so exciting for me. As I am 62, I want to make the most of this stage of my life!

Today, I for the first time applied some colour to my finger nails, a blush pink. I usually had used a base and top coat for a clear finish. Love my nails! This is only the beginning.

It's so nice to see another woman that cares about her nails. Join a FB page called "I Love Natural Nails" it's great with so many nice women members & there is some oil you can use to strengther your nails, it's natural & soaks in the cuticles. Also 5 or 10,000 mcg of biotin per day is great.  Or go play rugby.

So today is a good day to talk about Rugby?

I think we need a comment from Matt!

Yes I think so.

We need to find out how an English player got man of the match?
Only one side turned up and the score was flattering to so the least.

I demand an Inquisition. 
So wake Matt up.

He owes me a poem!!

I thought it was a 50' high statue el natural.

>>>>just quickly on the above posts: why would anyone want to talk about a boring little town in Warwickshire???

Managed an 11km walk before it got too hot, met a girlfriend for a relaxing coffee and cake thingy in the afternoon. Bought two cute tshirts.

Having a "getting to know you better" conversation with a new coworker we discovered that we had worked together seven years ago. She reminded me of her time by mentioning her sister who had worked with me much longer than she had. So to jog her memory I said "I used to go by (male name) more often back then." She puzzled for a second then her jaw dropped and she looked at me dumbfounded and mouth agape. She nodded a big "oh yeah!" But didn't say a thing about it. We just carried on with the conversation.

I love dropping jaws!

Massage appointment today 😊

I got asked by a nurse today when my last menstrual cycle was.  Also, I got a very unhesitating "ma'am" and very friendly service from the server at lunch today.

Just the last week or so I've been inundated by little signs that I'm "there" as a woman though.  A trans friend commented that in a recent photo I looked way more comfortably feminine than she remembered me last.  Weekend before last I ran into several old friends at a convention who didn't even recognize me at first.  Yesterday I had another trans friend on a Skype chat say she forgot momentarily that I was trans and asked me if I'd had vocal training (I haven't!).

My dreams of being seen and accepted as a woman are coming true and although I'm sick with bronchitis, flat broke and deep in debt, and suffering from a severe writer's block at the moment, I'm about as happy as a girl could be given the circumstances.

First stage of FFS surgery (upper eyelids) this morning at 0700.  Feeling great & a little giddy!

Hope its a great success

THz Sarah!  Bruises be gone!!! - Then it'll be time for a new profile pic:  Tee Hee!

I had an emergent visit to dentist. Wore my beard shadow. Clockable under veil of night.

On my way home, there was no end to waiting for a tram. I spent half an hour on a station with two women. Muslim women. They were looking at me with such kind smiles, that even hours later I wear that same smile. Acceptance is so heartwarming.

I bought myself a piece of nice jewellery which is something I have never done before in my life.

Gorgeous Sarah

I decided to go full time today after speaking with my family in great detail about RLE and that for me it would be more comfortable being 100% even though I'm on the long waiting list for the GIC ( I am in the UK )

They turned around and told me they fully support it and that they will help me with the journey. I already printed out my deed polls and going to sign them in a week!

I'm so excited things are moving forward. Going to celebrate with some shopping

Congratulations that is a big step and I wish you all the best

I turned in my dissertation!  It was yesterday, not "today", but whatever.
