My dinner. Ate a vegetarian meat dish. Delicious.

resolved an issue involving my Daughter and for the first time in nearly a month my first thought this morning wasn't "I hope she is OK today"  such a relief

I spent yet another full day as Denise.  It still feels right, but I'm self-conscience about it.  Nobody give a lick, I just keep telling myself that.  I had an impromptu Facial today.  And the clinician thought I was 42 (I'm about to turn 55) so that made me feel good.  I was wearing a "little too short for my age" white denim skirt, a nice black tank top with sandals.  It was just a little "over the top" but not bad.

The tour and wine-tasting at Lakeside Winery, in Claremont FL (I recommend it - FREE) was with a group of about 15.  I got a few stares but nothing overly annoying after the first few minutes.  Time for jeans, heels, 3/4 length sleeves with some make-up and go to dinner and a club somewhere.

Oh.  God bless you and your daughter! [emoji170]

I am glad things worked out Liz.

Seeing my youngest daughter come to terms with my transition finally today.Looked at me calling me Caitlynn for the first time saying I love you and we hugged.I have an older daughter that has been great with my transition

My wife helped me pick out some wigs! I'm so excited. She even agreed to going out to dinner together when they come in. 

A conversation in the car with Randi...

R: Don't wear your flowered print skirt...
D: I wasn't going to I have two nice black party skirts, but I don't want to wear the pencil skirt, there's a "bulge".
R: It might work with the right top.
D: What I don't have is shoes.
R: what about your black flats?

What a nice, normal conversation, one I never expected to have with Randi when all of this started three years ago!

By the way, she also offered to loan me some jewelry.

2 more days until my official Name Change...omg..omg..omg...Breathe!

Good luck. It's today - right?

I finally learned the names of all the Thai consonants, including tones and all

My wife is still here. And she bought me roses after I had a small break down yesterday. So waking up to those.

3 weeks on estrogen makes me happy.

Spent the day doing three things:
1) Sat pool side in a woman's bathing suit.
2) Walked around Winter Park Florida in a skirt, flats, female top with your normal nods of acknowledgement as any one would as you pass by.
3) This is a big one - Ate dinner at an Hibachi style steak house seated next to the most awesome woman.  She wanted to sit next to me to find out "why that woman is dining alone"  She said it wasn't until a few minutes in to the meal that it dawned on her that I was not what I appeared to be.  She said that I more than looked okay.  She said that she had NO idea I wasn't a woman even following me to the table.

It's unfortunate she's married  as I did get her phone number (for other purposes) and it wasn't a BS number either, because I sent a test text that appeared as we were eating.

Looks like I can pass!  I know there's some facial work I would like to do and I need to pierce my ears, but I feel like a million bucks right now. 

Got all of my uniform gear for my deployment in January. 

Finally got to meet Cait tonight.

Woke up this morning, looked in the mirror - TAN LINES front and back!   
(okay,  maybe a little burn, but I'll take it!)

I had dinner with my older daughter last night.  She flew in from the US east coast for a holiday visit with family and friends in the area. I picked her up from the local transit terminal (which she took from the airport), and we tried a new veggie place, which she very much liked.  Then I drover her up to my wife's place and dropped her off.

That was nice.  Fully accepting, no issues there.  She spotted me right away when she got off the train.

Another happy thing...  I doubled up on the estradiol last night after an endocrinology appointment yesterday.  I slept like 9 hours straight.  I hope that's a side effect and not coincidence, as I haven't slept well in a very long time.

Hi,
I had the appointment but the Final Judgement is going to be mailed to me in 2-4 weeks. I was surprised, thought I would get it right then and there.
I raised my Right hand, swore to everything and I was out in 2 mins. It was the Magistrates Office and it was 1 on 1.

She told me I can not change my name anywhere until I get the final in the mail. Does that mean it was approved?

After two weeks I finally had a bm. Sometimes it's just little victories. I know this is kind of gross and I probably shouldn't have.     But doing this made me extremely happy because now I can skip a hospital visit.
