Tonight a friend told me my eyes look beautiful and asked what makeup I was wearing... I wasn't wearing any, I have bought some but it won't be delivered until next week.

It made my night though

Hugs all,
Sarah

I was having a really bad day. I've been at work so in a suit and shirt and tie, and of course as a result sir'd time and time again. And every one was like a dagger going into me. And then, I go into one shop, and "afternoon ma'am" says the security guard. I could have kissed him I was so happy! Getting ma'am' in such obvious boy attire just increases my confidence so much for when I am Emma. And suddenly all was right in the world. So I bought shoes.

This is a weird one.  I've been distraught over a lost employment opportunity.  My wife suggested that I back off on the estrogen until I've defended my phd thesis (a week from monday!) as I've been so depressed and crying so much of the time.  Why did this make me happy?  Because we've gotten to the point where I feel fully, completely, totally accepted by her.  A few months ago, I'd have flipped out because she wants me to delay my transition or something... but that doesn't even remotely seem like something she'd do anymore.  She's thinking about my needs and my feelings, and looking out for me.  <3

That's a nice story. I like it. I wish I'd be called Madame each time I enter a shop...

Really good day today. My new shoes arrived today and they are really comfy. Finally I can say bye to my boy shoes!

To celebrate I took on a challenge of going out all dressed up with skirt, tights etc and I was super nervous the whole time but it felt so good to be free. No one said or did anything negative which hopefully means I pass at a reasonable level. I even went in a store to buy some snacks and had no issues or weird looks.

I want to do this more often it feels amazing!

Had a mini lunch date today. Cute guy, seems like fun. There is a definite possibility of a second date but honestly I don't know how far I want to go with this.

Ahhh Congrats girl.  Just take it slow and one day at a time.

Reading about happy living trans women made me happy today. I started my day with a TDOR video (couldn't get to a ceremony) and got really down. I wasn't doing the final step "remember, honor then act". I needed some joy and the cis world couldn't give it to me. You ladies and your joys really made my day. Thank you!   *hugs*

finally got my nail polish to set lol

Had a margerita for the first time ever tonight. It was really good. Unfortunately, later on in the evening, after I'd sobered up, I got up to take care of my newborn and got a headrush and passed out in the bathroom. I may have hurt my neck in doing so. But I had a great date night with my wife.

My sleeping today totaled to about 12 hours. Suppose I should be happy about that.

Well, not today but last night...

My wife and I did our yearly tradition of going to the LA Auto Show and following it with dinner at Drago.  We wanted an especially nice bottle of wine, so the sommelier was summoned to our table.   

And... OMG, it's Mark.  As in Mark who used to be the sommelier at BLT Steakhouse several years ago.  As in Mark,with whom we shared our nice Cabernets and had long conversations about wine.  As in Mark who only used to know me as Greg...

"Hi, I totally remember you guys from BLT.  Let me get you each a complimentary glass of Dom Perignon." 

Way to go, Mark!  Not only did you handle the shock of my obvious physical transformation well, you did so with extreme class. 

I think free Champagne should be mandatory for us.

So, turns out my wife was right, my estrogen dose was too high.  Knocked it in half and I can keep a level head and I'm not crying 2 hours a day!

That's an important lesson. My endo wants to raise my dose, and I'm gonna let him, but with your example I'll be sure to pay attention to how I adjust. I love my Sweetie, but if she were to suggest that to me I would be suspicious of her motives. She's not reached acceptance yet.

I was at a Karaoke bar last night with a cis female friend of mine and some dude came up to our table and started asking if us "ladies" wanted to dance. Of course we said no - we both were making fun of this guy. But I think I passed?

Yay!

I got Madam(ed) twice today!
ok, the first time was by the really effeminate gay guy at the clothing store I shop at who flirts with me and totally knows I'm trans, but the second one was the homeless guy who opens the door to the liquor store, and yes he got some change on my way out!

xox, Candi

Painful nipples!

Went to Victoria's Secret to get fit for a bra. Turns out I am a 38C post breast augmentation. Got a couple of very nice push-up bras that really make my breasts look great.

I got a great compliment on my makeup from a friend! "You look so fresh faced and innocent!" It made me smile!
