I finally decided to give rawhide bones to my puppy today. Now she's attacking one with vengeance. Perhaps she'll be less likely to want to pull apart my furniture.....

Last night my wife and I were snuggling in bed and she said to me something like: 'i had never been atracted to women before, but I love you'

my heart melted.

Another day today I made 20k+ steps on. Like when that happens.

I had been giving my department manager gentle hints that I didn't appreciate him calling me dude and sir. I thought everyone there knows I'm trans but had forgotten that he was out on bereavement leave when I came out. At one point when I was away from our area two of my coworkers explained reality to him. He apologized and vowed to do better and is, of course, good with it as is our corporate culture.

I asked him what he thought my boobs meant (without actually being that crass). He said he just thought I was fat. I gave him such a look and everyone cracked up! We're such a merry crew!

Today... I took my camera for a walk in Amsterdam.
Oh my dear, it is too heavy for me now. I lost much weight this year, including some muscle mass.

Considered whether that with the camera is a good or a bad thing, but it ended up here. Priorities.

Today I weighed myself and I am officially 10 pounds lighter than I was last month!

Also I am currently 11 days post-op for voice surgery and the results are coming along.

I came out to my mom and the world didn't spontaneously combust. She was incredibly gracious and loving. Lots of tears, smiles and hugs.

Picked up an estradiol prescription yesterday. It had my correct name on it. YAY!

Now I need to figure out why insurance isn't covering it.

Two from yesterday, first was from my son who's not fully been told yet but is working it for himself, held a door open for me and said" Ladies first".
Second was when i visited my ex turned mentor, dressed in my best tights, t-shirt and hotpants, said something along the lines of"For f**ks sake!! I can't c**ting well wear stuff like that but you can with legs like that, you're taking the p*ss." She's the third person now that commented on how good my legs are. Excuse the swearing but she was mighty unimpressed, lol.

Yeah, I love this. At my work they really make sure to exercise it.

Yeah, my wife got pissed at me for wearing skinny jeans one morning.  I was like "um, yeah, but curves are sexy and I have zero."  Really, it was impossible to say anything in this situation that couldn't be interpreted as calling her fat.    I did my best to take her anger as a complement.

Today, the dumb undergrads in my lab went for a walk outside the lab rather than giggle about my clothes within earshot.  Um, progress!

I got to make my first work related court appearance as a female today. It was a great experience. I ran into two lawyers I have know for years and they had no idea who I was when I said hello. I guess the changes have been pretty drastic over the last 8 months.

Second apptmnt for hrt tommorow first one was difficult because of health care adress/service problem nurses promised everything is sorted out should have estrogen in my body tomorrow at this time.  So what made me happy is the help from the staff in dealing with the government billing issue as I dont have trans compotent clinics in my "catch basin"

Sounds like congratulations are in order for both Jessica and Jessie Ann

I literately jumped four feet in the air. I've been super nervous about my endocrinologist appointment next week and if I'd get a prescription on the first visit and if I needed my therapist to write a letter of recommendation. So I finally called and they don't see any reason I shouldn't get a prescription on the first visit since I've already been presenting as female for so long. I don't care if its even just spiro that I get just to be able to kill the male stink will be enough. Only eight days to go!!!!

Finally got injection of Lupron so maybe can get the T under control - see where things are in 3 months

be well

What an amazing day! I met with a professor at a college nearby about possibly attending his school next school year. I connected with him through my therapist, who had said that he could be a valuable resource to me.  He was so kind and open that I kind of poured my heart out to him about being trans and planning a transition while also possibly going to school. He was very supportive and encouraging and inquisitive. I should note he's a Social Work PhD and is also a leader in the local LGBTQ community. He encouraged me to apply and write down my story in my personal statement and that from what he said, I'm just the kind of candidate that they would like to have.

In addition to that, when I got home I had some Katelyn time for myself, so for the last 2 hours I've been wearing my favorite dress while cleaning up the house. It just feels amazing and right to be in a dress, even while just puttering around the house. I am a very happy girl at the moment.
