Just got an offer letter with a nice bump in pay from the new company that’s hiring me for the position I already fill. And my first HRT appointment is in like two weeks. And my big vacation for the year is just after that HRT appointment. It’s been a nice turnaround after a pretty shit start to the year.
omg congrats, that’s huge! 🥳
I got my toes painted a baby blue color, and now I want to eat them all the time 😭 They remind me of Easter candies …
I finally bought a set of my own polish (instead of using my spouse’s) and I have a light blue on the outer toes. They’re gorgeous! The little things do so much sometimes
yes, I am shocked at how happy my toes make me right now, lol - usually I look at my toes and feel worse about my body, but right now they’re just so cute 😊 ✨
My week has been great! My girlfriend and I told each other that we love each other this week, and it just made me so happy. I’ve been having a stressful time lately adjusting to some changes, since the grandma I live with is at a point where she needs to move to assisted living in a few months and we’re selling the house to pay for it. However, all the difficulties at home have been balanced with the joy I feel getting to spend my time with a girl I adore, so things could be so much worse. We’ve been talking about possibly moving in together, which is an exciting prospect!
My HRT appointment is scheduled for next week!
Waiting for my hair and boobs to grow. It’s so slooooow. I don’t look (to my eyes) nearly as feminine as I’d like, although clearly I’m starting to be read that way by other people. But what am I not satisfied by? Clothes? Hair / makeup? Face? I’m not sure. I’m bad at everything and don’t know how to girl. Eugh, early transition (month 7 of HRT) sucks.
Anybody want some data? I’m on 3 x 0.72mg patches every other day. Two was subjectively not enough to suppress the effects of T. Last blood test was 0.48 ng/mL T; 400 pg/mL E2. Acceptable, but I guess I might want to substitute some prog for estradiol at some point.
Well… I go into work tomorrow (thanks chuck). Reeeeally wanted to have like a week or more off (because burnout) without dipping into my PTO safety net (it pays out when i quit).
Spiraling anxiety and depression and not-technically-diagnosed ADHD WHEEEEEEEEEE.
Less than 30 days to the first (adult) ADHD evaluation appointment with a psychologist…
Gonna get my fingernails painted later this week with my buddy’s wife. Super excited about that. Then I have to work the next day, so that might be fun. (My regular work partner knows I am enby already though.)
Things might get a bit interesting as I am not publicly out yet, so we shall see how things end up going.
