Congrats again Ellie, you gotta post your first cry after:)  I love the emotions!

Today what made me happy is wiring up my gallery bar for lighting, wiring the lights, then attaching the lights.  Whew lots of work, and I feel good about the result!  I should have a ladies night here to celebrate when totally finished.   I don't know if there are any local OC ladies though.

you know how far the universe extends outward? i think i go inside just as deep.

10/11/18 - out to the whole world.  100% friends and family support.
11/6/17 - came out to sister, best day of my life
9/5/17 - formal diagnosis and stopping DIY in favor if prescribed HRT
6/18/17 - decided to stop fighting the trans beast, back on DIY.
Too many ups and downs, DIY, purges of self inbetween dates.
Age 10 - suppression and denial began
Age 8 - knew I was different

Claire -- so glad to hear about your job offer, wonderful news! Ellie, congrats on your HRT! Sarah, so cool to see your name in print--is this the first year of Xmas cards as Sarah? Bari Jo congrats on getting so much work done on your gallery bar!

Yesterday I attended my local support group meeting and was feeling so loved by my trans family.

Lady Sarah

I dumped my slow internet, going from less than 1 Mbps to 20 Mbps for just a little more than I was already paying. The lady I spoke to (when cancelling the old account) was as sweet as could be, and very understanding.
To top it off, my hubby got a huge bonus, bought a decent pickup truck, and is walking prouder than ever before.
Santa is definitely being good to us.

I have my best friend back.  It was very expensive and may not yet be out of the woods, but he doesn't have cancer or tumors.  Here's a pict which prompted his going to the vet.  I'm so happy I can afford his treatment.  He's my best and most favorite person out there.

Poor guy. I hope he gets to feeling better. You, too.

I'm better.  I'm still amazed how much I can cry.  Right now he's in my lap after eating a meal with his new diet.

Good, I'm glad you're both doing better. I think I'll go give Maggie a hug.

Yesterday was tough.  But today was awesome.

I smiled in a photograph today.  I haven't smiled in a photograph for years.  It is wonderful to be myself, and I actually like the face I see in the picture!  The outside hasn't changed that much, but the inside is in such a better place than it was even 6 months ago.
