Two months ago, just as had begun planning my name change for July or August, I was summoned to jury service under my male name, and I know there would have been trouble if I showed up as female with all Male ID. I actually got put on a jury and the case took three weeks of courtroom testimony and then two days to reach a verdict. (It was a contract case, so no hanging of either of the parties was allowed, even though it was tempting.)
The problem for the three weeks plus has been that by the time I got home, putting on my makeup and doing my hair was just too much trouble. This thing exhausted me mentally to a point where I almost have to say that I did not give a flying toot about about my gender changeover. Today was my first day back at my normal
retired/transition life style. I managed to catch up on house work, and then after dinner, it hit me what I had NOT done for the last three and a half weeks. I had not put any makeup on the whole time. I needed a makeup FIX!!!
Luckily, it only required a little bit of lipstick, eyeshadow, eyebrow tint and my new little wiglet to make my bangs look good, but now that I have done it, I feel all the STRESS of the last few weeks draining away!! WHEW!! Never knew the stuff was such a great anti anxiety remedy.
Anyone else ever had a makeup or dress up session do that for them?
