I went to Ocean State Job Lot with Sweetie today to get some gloves. She pointed out the leather with thinsulate men's. I said I'f rather not. She pointed out that I'd probably have a hard time finding women's to fit, so we both looked at them. Then we looked at hats. She picked out a rather girly hat with a pompom that would match my favorite scarf. We had a good time trying on the hats and I bought the one she helped me pick out.

We also scheduled the provider to come tomorrow and reinstall an internet connection.

Now, as I type this, I'm soaking in a bubble bath and drinking tea. A very good day.

wow! what a day of wonders!

• I've been looking after a friends cat, today his roommate came home, saw me and smiled, staring at me... finally he said "my god you are  gorgeous!"
• walking home had an epiphany, decided to go vegetarian again and wrote the lyrics to a song, right on the street, good stuff too! cant wait to put it to music!
• was desperately short of a few make-up items and the nice cosmetics girl was in today, super friendly to me, and very helpful, found me a bunch of stuff on special, so happy she was in... the older lady is such a grump and tries to sell me the most expensive stuff
• found a pair of black and white striped tights that I had been looking for (wore them tonight as well, getting a few complements on my legs)
• came home to find an email from my mother saying she saw my latest video for a song I did and she said I was beautiful!!! MY MOTHER SAID I WAS BEAUTIFUL!!!
• next email I opened was from an agent/producer who I talked to a few weeks ago (who I thought had forgotten about me) she apologized for the delay, and has a bunch of stuff for me and wants me to perform all over the month!
• went to my weekly Trans* support group and walking there was told by 3 different people that I was "Très belle" (very pretty), "wow magnifique" (wow, magnificent), and "you look fantastic" (yeah, that last one was english speaking), finally once in my group I was complimented a couple more times
• realizing my life is finally going in the good direction

what a day!!!
I AM SOOOOOO HAPPY!!!!!

Hi All
tonight i was to tired to do anything and my son called me and said we had to go to this licensing seminar  for our masters Lic. But he picked me up and we went and it got out early so him and I went out to dinner and had a lot of laughs and it turned out great.

It's the little things that do it....

After some quick math and coupons, I got a large bottle of Nivea moisturizing lotion for free.

Oh deer.

Had a meeting earlier in the week at work and vented a to my senior boss. Spent quite a bit of time on issues I needed to raise.
Currently I have so many options at work that it's stressing me out, 4 confirmed for next year with a 5th if I choose that door.
I am so disillusioned with work currently and made it very clear.
Did it in a positive way so let's see how they respond.
They have till mid January to show how serious they are and if they come to the party.

I was asked to think which option I want for next year.

All of this when I have always been told one of me was one too many. Just ask Cindy.
What have I done wrong?

I'm going to finally visit Hair Club for women next week for hair transplants. And I'm starting with a new electrolysis lady after my previous lady friend passed away. It's strange but both are named Sarah, my mother was a Sarah & one of my best girl friends is Sarah. It must be some kind of oman.

Had a couple of really uplifting moments today!

I just got asked for ID when buying wine, for the first time in years - the minimum age here to buy alcohol is 18 and I'm 35!

But more special than that, I thought I'd found my new name by chosing one that's always been a favourite - Evie - but decided to ask my mum to chose instead. As my mum's Scottish I wanted a Scottish name and I love what she picked even better - Kirsty. Plus in the process my dad admitted that they'd always wanted their third child to be a girl!

Currently feeling very warm and fuzzy inside 😊

I got compliments today from 3 different women at work on what I was wearing.  They were casual complements that women give each other and that simple acceptance felt great.

Later then when I got home I had email from 2 ladies I used to work with years ago.  Both were supportive and gave me a lot of props for doing this.  Again it felt great. 

Walked 8 hill filled miles in just under 2 hours, including stops to take pictures and tinkle in the woods. That has me easily under 15 minutes per mile! It was a beautiful, if unseasonably warm, December day. I got to wear a t-shirt and capris!

I'm excited for appt. with a new electrolysis lady referred by my plastic surgeon. It seems that she does excellent work, very nice & she also does permanent makeup. I may have her shape my eyebrows a little nicer. Life is good, it's so nice to be a woman..........almost Christmas, giving lots of little presents to friends.

It is so nice to hear when you get the compliments as you did. I had started a new job and no one knows anything about my passed. I have got so many complement also on my suits that I wear when I go to court house. I moved 100 mile away from were I use to live and work for the DA's office. So I need to get dressed up every day at work.If you have any Idea how people are in a court house it is amazing to me anyone says anything. In the same note I can not wait to come home and change into something a lot more comfortable. LOL Like my jeans or sweets. I have not been complemented on them. 

Hugs

I got maam'd for the first time by a guy behind the counter at a convenience store today. Unfortunately he seemed to be the only one in the store that saw me that way. I got weird (like scary) looks from the rest of the guys.

Joined susans, which is the first forum ive joined since transistioning. Walked my lil Pomeranian round the park. I just finished making my partner veggie bangers and mash, which they are happily gobbling up while i watch them play Fallout. So far a great day Really good to hear about everyones happy feels, what a lovely idea for a thread X

My mother randomly came to me and asked if she can flatten my hair.  Then she gave me advices about makeup.

I am happy she is making progress and begins to see me as her daughter.

Aww you have a Pomeranian; they are so cute!!!

Thank you Kittenpower. He's chocolate brown and all the adorable. I'd be happy to post pics if you could please direct me to the appropriate board. I also have a tiny house cat. Just want to add, I love your glassess! Thats great Archlord, baby steps. Its a process for everyone in your life when you come out.  Hope you continue to make progress.

Found out that I wont have to be alone for my post op in Bangkok.  A dear girlfriend has agreed to be there for me when I get out of the hospital.  What a blessing!  And to boot all she's a newly wed.(Oct 31). What an understanding husband!!

I guess just being a little old toothless granny who is disappearing into the woodwork after living out all the time in the neighborhood makes me happy.     I would be happier if I could find out what my Medicare Wellcare would cover of my transitioning costs so that I could make some changes even in smallish increments.  Finding a transitioning counselor near where I live who could prescribe me hormones would make me happier.   But all be told, I am alive and out and about and am not treated disrespectfully by anyone.   Sometimes I am delighted by a sly look from another gray-haired grandmotherly type and I smile back.   And overall I am just leaving the impression that I am just another little old gray-haired granny with big feet and an aching body and a shorter Gandolf type walking stick.

Back on E after a week off it.
Calmed things down in my head


Rode my super bike today
So nice to ride
