Another post is live on my blog. I am posting part here in hopes some will consider checking it out.

Title: Parental Trauma and a Pizza Box

When I was younger and I wanted to be a painter, my mother used to say my paintings were the sign of a sick mind. She had no idea that I would be creating evidence of my sickness and that I would turn the person I turn to for help into the villain of my blog. I checked with my therapist and she just laughed maniacally, so I think she is admitting guilt or I am hallucinating again.

Back when I thought I could paint and draw, I would stare at the clouds and see amazing things in them; now all I see is acid rain and the possibility of a bird dive-bombing me and crapping in my mouth. I used to take these "visions" and turn them into abstract versions of the monsters that haunt my mind. This was sometimes therapeutic.

I remember when all this changed. I was working on a painting in the house. I remember even back then I avoided being around people and preferred to do everything as far away from the infestation of humans that has overrun our planet. My mother came home and was upset—I think she saw I was happy. I had put newspaper down so I could paint, and she demanded...

I have a telehealth appointment to go over my standard tests. How long does it take to get back your hormone tests? Its been 7 days since I went in for the blood work and have not received notice they were complete. I am worried that they lost the order. Some time frames would really help.

It depends on which lab they send them to for the test.

I got some of my labs back within three days, but hormones took ten days.
You should hear back on them any day now.

So I just met with my doctor and she said that she is contacting the lab. It looks like something is screwed up on their side.

Thanks though I really hope they do have the order and process it.

On a lighter note. I am trying out a lighter make up routine to see if I can get it down to a few minutes and I did it. I can do a casual makeup in about 7 minutes. And since I prefer comfort this works really well. I am still ugly but I don't have to stare in the mirror for 30 minutes anymore.

My crazy old lady makeup is BB cream, eyebrow tint (hide the grey!) ,splash of blush and powder with lippy. Takes 5mins!

Mine's identical except I use a rose tinted lip balm to keep covert.

My new make up routine is pretty simple. I wash my face with CeraVe and then once its dry I use foundation, I have to use 2 shades since my forehead is a different shade than my lower face. Then I do blush and eye shadow single color only. Then I set with setting powder. then Mascara and Lipstick. Super easy and fast.

I think it is important to have a super fast everyday makeup routine as well as the full fat one.

For me, my super quick one is a few blobs of concealer placed strategically, eye liner, mascara, brow pencil, cream blusher, bronzing powder, lippy and setting spray. Got it down to about 5-10 mins.

I do cleanse every morning with ceraVe cleanser and mosituriser but thats it.

If I'm doing the full on makeup it is eye cream (stops moisturiser sting in my eyes), primer, concealer, tinted moisturiser, brow pencil, eye shadow (usually three colours blended), eye liner, mascara, cream blusher, cream bronser blended, highlighter, lippy, translucent powder then setting spray. Probably 12-15 mins tops

I am really excited to have this new routine. It means more me time. I am not super girly but having the ability to throw it on and go is exciting. Tammy can go to therapy in make up now. That is so liberating.

I can tell! Transition is full of lovely little milestones like this isn't it.
