Lost

[Dawn Kellie]

I'm still stumbling around in the dark a lot

Please leave the Title

Got it. I'll let you get settled in.

Going for a mani/pedi this afternoon. My daughter and I are going together, she's paying..its my birthday present. I'm hoping to get a couple of minutes to come out to her. She will be my sounding board for telling my wife.

Still not sure what color to put on my toes. I'm thinking a pink or peach.

I decided to wear my bralette again to day. With my moobs (man boobs) and the padding I have a little shape.

Trying to get used to a blog of me. I will add as things go on.
Thank you all for being so supportive of me as I stumble around figuring me out

That sounds like a good idea, and fun! Maybe let her pick the color. It could be a bonding moment!

Hope it goes well.

That sounds like a really nice afternoon to spend with your daughter. The fact she is paying sounds like she is already accepting of you.

You seem to have no fear Kellie, I wish I was a bit more like you. I worry far too much about what total strangers may think of me. It has held me back all my life. You are so brave to tackle everything head on!

[Dawn Kellie]

Not everything head on. I still have to tell my wife I'm trans. That one keeps me on edge.
But, when I decided something I go forward.

[Dawn Kellie]

Nails are done. My toes are a glitter pink..fingers simple matte. I was wearing my toe rings and anklets the young lady doing my pedicure loved my anklets  ine has a K on it. She even made sure to get my toe rings postponed correctly when I was done.
I didn't get the chance to talk to my daughter and let her know I'm trans. We were separated by several chairs. Im going to soon but I work the next 3 days and am only home a couple of hours before bed

[Dawn Kellie]

Another work week where i have to work Saturday  I work every other Saturday, with Sunday off or Saturday off and work Sunday.  That's not so bad it's the 12 hrs days I work that get to me.
I feel like I'm just going in circles sometimes. Work, home, shower, sleep and back to work.

I saw my honey for 5 minutes yesterday. The sch8is getting to me. If I didn't have IRS trouble I'm working through I'd scream and run away.

Life always seems to have little things to keep you off balance.

[Stottie Girl]

I feel your pain. I've done my share of 12+ hour shifts. It's no fun Kellie. I had a job where I was working 08:00-20:00 then straight on call from 20:00 until 08:00 the next day before starting work again immediately at 08:00 on an 08:00-16:00 shift. Sometimes it went on like that for days. Other times I would work 14 days without a day off. They made me sign a waiver to the working time regulations so they were able to pretty much abuse the employees. Good money but I ended up breaking down and resigning. Work can really suck sometimes.

I'm in a different job now, part time with a crap wage and I've never been happier! I'm lucky I can afford it (just!). I know not everyone can.

In my next life I want to be born wealthy and less good looking 🤣

Can't we be both?

[Dawn Kellie]

Can't we be both?

I didn't want to be greedy.

[Dawn Kellie]

I forgot to mention. When I got my nails the young lady that did my fingers, she didn't speak English well barely at all, she trimmed all my fingers down to a male reasonable length. By the time I realized two were short. She also didn't understand glitter on my little fingers. So now my finger nails are short and bland. I could have made a fuss but had to get home to get supper going, and the nail place really does good. I will let it be for now, probably get some glitter varnish. I will make sure I get one of my regular girls next time. 
Im thrilled with my toes the pink glitter looks amazing. It may become a regular color.
It's a little frustration but not the end of the world.

I would love to have long nails but my nails tear and break so easily I just can't grow them out. I would love to get some gel or acrylic nails done professionally but a) I'm not out yet and b) I'm not sure I would be able to type at work with them on. Also how do you girls that have them pick up coins?

[Dawn Kellie]

I don't keep mine very long. Extending past my finger tips by less than 3/8". I'm fortunate I've always had strong nails. Typing at first feels weird. Picking up coins isn't bad, push the coin in to one of the nails with my thumb and pry up.
If it get real rough I kick it to a Crack so I can get under the edge 😀

[Lori Dee ✅]

The secret is long(er) but not too long. I've found they interfere when typing, but most of the time they are ok. Of course, mine get broken and cracked easily from moving things.

I use my signature color (LA Color Metallic Pink), like pink chrome, then, when completely dry, I apply a clear hardener with glitter. I love the effect, and it makes them last longer. The hardener is also LA Color called Cocktail.

They were given to me by my Bestie ages ago, and they've just become my signature color. I ordered six bottles of each to make sure I wouldn't run out. I haven't worn them lately, as I have been too busy breaking my nails.

I can't get my nails over about 3mm before one of them cracks at the edge. They break so easily just doing up buttons or other simple tasks. Might get fake ones one day as they look nice

[Dawn Kellie]

The first time I had my fingers painted with real color not just matte, I knew that I wanted that look all the time. Being I haven't come out yet, it's matte for now with a little glitter on my pinky.
The gel matte also increases the strength

Gel helps. It adds some good strength

A few people have said this. Might be worth a try then. I want designs on mine. Maybe hello kitty
