I went online and looked at some really cute skirts and dresses, I will definitely be getting some of them when I come back from holidays (in Ireland) in three weeks

Are you Irish too?? Or mad enough to go on Holidays in Ireland?? Hahaha

Had a great talk with my mother. She asked how I was doing as far as transition goes and was very much relieved that everything was great and I haven't experienced any problems. I think she is now on my side!

I have also now figured out my new middle name. I was giving my great grandfathers middle name at birth, so I decided to go with my great grandmothers. I will now be Michaela Elizabeth. It feels like the perfect name for me.

I was washing my hands in a men's bathroom; and wasn't able to get my mind off of how much I don't belong in there.  All of a sudden a man walks in, sees me, and immediately exits.  XD So it's not just me!  lol

Another step taken, nine plus hour of hair transplant today, still stoned out of my gourd but it  is done, six months to a year for the effects to show. May 1 will be my consult with Dr. Meltzer and then an Srs surgery date. It is continuing to happens and each step feels so good!  - Anne

I got my letter for surgery.  I  just scheduled to have an orchiectomy on March 23 

So last Friday, I was having a quiet lunch in a hotel bar (Nerd alert: my annual pilgrimage to Emerald City Comic-con), when this guy wanders over to my table to order a beer.  I had an open chair and the bar was packed.  I offered him the seat and we started talking.  Well to be completely honest, he started talking and I wrote on my iPad a lot to respond—joys of one month post VFS.  We chatted for about an hour and he was definitely hitting on me a lot.  Please note that I am not the one who gets hit on, like ever. But he was cute so I decided to roll with it.  Long story short, we exchanged numbers and went our separate ways.  Well he texted me a few times including last night when he asked me to go out this weekend.  This definitely qualifies as something that is making me happy today, regardless if it actually goes anywhere...

I did an interview for a school paper. I shared my transition story to raise awareness that we exist on campus. It was such an emotional and fulfilling experience. I am really looking forward to seeing how the article comes together. I put my heart into it and I'll be going public as Kaylin for only my second time.

YAY!!!  That is so cool girlfriend!  I hope you two can make a love connection.

What made me happy today?  I changed my profile avatar to a picture of me.  For the first time on any of these boards, my profile pic shows the face of the real me.  But what really made me happy today is that each time I log in, my avatar appears at the top of the page.  More than once today I've had that split second reaction of "Wow, who's that" before I realize it's me!!!  Not a great look yet (hoping HRT and some better makeup technique will improve that) but I'm so much happier with that look than anything I've seen in the mirror for 39 years.

This may fall under "What made you feel lucky today" but works here too.

Tonight a good samaritan probably saved me from getting seriously injured or even killed. I was coming out of the grocery store with a shopping cart crossing at the crosswalk and a big van stopped on my left to allow me to cross. As I was walking in front the van I hear the engine rev on the van and I look and see the driver cut the van sharp to his left to block a woman on her cell phone passing him going too fast to block her from hitting me and the woman stopped just short of hitting the van. The driver of the van got out and yelled to the woman "what the hell or you doing? you could have hit her" pointing to me. The woman just ignored him and I told him "Thank you, you probably saved my life!". He said something else to the woman and after I finished crossing she drove off fast and he followed her. So I don't know what else happened after that.

Got my new makeup brushes Also, skinny jean FTW

I had my semi annual HRT appointment yesterday and finally my blood pressure was normal inside that Dr's office.  In the past every time I went it shot up to heart attack range.  I also realized that finally after two years of HRT my body, from top to bottom is finally looking as it should with good proportions everywhere.  The last six months of work with diet and exercise are paying off.  Plus my size 12 skinny jeans are not skinny anymore.  Time to move to a size or two smaller.  :-)

Nice work!

BEWBS!!  I was wondering if there was something growing under those ouchy nipples, but for the past few weeks I couldn't use enough pressure to feel.  But today, they are big enough to feel.  There is definitely something there.  Yippee!!

Getting everything unpacked at my new house. I'm finally going to use my new kitchen to cook dinner for my friends tonight.

I think I've made it over the hump.  It's definitely coasting/self-driving mode now.  I don't think I have much to be scared/worried/nervous on a social aspect anymore.

I'm comfortable!

Deborah, sounds like your life is going good for you now, good BP readings, losing weight, getting exercise; good for you keep it up.
