I switched to The Howard Brown clinic in Chicago and It's great. I got rid of the patches and I'm doing shots. I think I can feel the shots a lot better. It's easy for me to remember when to take my shot now.Alll I do is trace it back to Remembrance Day.

Does anyone else get a buzz from the estrogen shot. I don't know if it's because everything worked out getting everything that I need or I'm buzzing from the shot.

Remembrance of happy emotions ?

Or outbreak of happy emotions ? 


hugs

I think I'm experiencing a release of a life time of emotions. I'm sitting in the LGBT center in Boys Town and singing Born This Way.

Well... its possible you experience an upswing the first few hours with injections in the beginning 

Wish you fun 


hugs

yes, I'm feeling quite well, I think it helps that I'm back in the Boys Town neighborhood I use to work in this area and it's quite colorful. Being at the clinic now I feel apart of the LGBT community. I'm looking out the window right now watching a bunch of the LGBT youth standing across from the center.

Well the young ones start from where others have been working to get to...
so hopefully it gets better and better, and soon...

wish you a nice time

Yes its a sad cause but you can have a celebration anyway.
It can be used to come together and celebrate.

After getting my stuff at the clinic I went to the LGBT Center which is attached to a Whole Foods. I walked in the door to the lounge area and there was a group of the trans youth sitting at a table and one of the girls proceeded to look at me to determine my status. I then proceeded to my computer for the wifi. It was fun watching the neighborhood. I hadn't been around since losing my job and now I was properly dressed. Such a difference when your with people like yourself. I then went shopping at the Whole foods and encountered a handsome fit guy checker with tattooed arms which was cool because he was sweet. Then I proceeded back to the lounge area to eat and this gentlemen   around my age was working and he kept smiling at me and I got a little embarrassed. So it turned out to be a Remembrance Day to remember. My avatar is me at the LGBT Center.

Its good to be amongst accepting people.

Well, next time you might smile back... and strike up a conversation 


hugs

well, I did a little , he needed the extra chair around my table to fix something in the men's bathroom so I smiled back and nodded
