Had To Get Something Off My Chest

all my dang hair!!

aah much better, it's gonna be a nightmare to maintain but it'll be worth it.

I do unfortunately look peppered from up close, my hair is just that dark. I tried to do it with the epilator but I wussed out, it's just too much for this girl to handle. maybe in very small increments as it grows back.

Or possibly ideally if I can afford it and have some confidence I can get a full wax done, and possible get wasted first lol. and after a wax or two epilating ought to become less painful.

speaking of all this tho, when the heck is this whole, reduced, finer hair growth thing supposed to kick in? how low do I have to get my T???? Hopefully I'll get some more numbers this week, have a doctors appointment on wednesday. fingers crossed i'm sub 300, that would sure be nice.

First off, Honey...Donna Jean does NOT talk about epilators!

Eeeek! Get away from me with that thing!!!!!

But, softer, finer hair?

Well, I started at 425...YUCK.......

But now, I'm 25!

Yup! Nice fine hair..and slowly growing, too...LOVE IT!

Give the epilator a go, you'll come to love it :)

It does hurt at first, your body is not used to having its hairs ripped out. Remember to start on short hair, I made the mistake of attacking my arm hair when it was long :o 0.5-1.0mm is ideal, yes it still hurts but not as much as long hair. At first do as much as you can and take a rest, it took me 4 days when I first started, now I can remove all hair from the neck down in one sitting. Most places just tickle now with exception of the arm pits, backs of the knees, inner thighs and lower abdomen.

My twice weekly process, no T blockers or E for me yet :(

Hot bath to open the pores and exfoliate, do not do this after depilating OUCH!

Dry off and epilate

Cold shower to close the pores :o this is a bigger shock than ripping the hairs out

Dry off and moisturize, I use an 99.9% Aloe Vera gel which is nice and cooling

Hugs

I do my arms and legs with the epilator, and once I'd managed it all once, which yeah took me days, I can maintain it every other day or whatever and it pretty much just tickles.

I was intending to do everything with the epilator, I trimmed it all first with clippers to about 3mm long, and then tried but the thing just snarled at me and it was late and I just really didn't want to have to suffer. I will however now have to try again with it tomorrow or the day after, cos now i'm just covered in stubble and it's gross. it's so much less painful when you're not pulling so many hairs out at once, I wish I could find a machine the same width but with far fewer tweezers.

      I hope that there is some kind of justice. It's very sad and it doesn't even mention the family and I could only imagine how they feel.

      It's kinda weird how these people are so worked up over making these laws.  They would have no effect on cis people either way.  Yet they are the ones with the obsession.  They ought to just stay out of trans people's business.

      Bean burritos are still popular in my family.   Black eyed peas are the one legume I'm not fond of.  I need to add lots of onions. And of course always cook your pintoes with fat-meat.  And for y'all yankees, navy beans with a big ol' ham bone are hard to beat.

      Seek out community, not just online but in person if possible. Making trans friends is a pretty quick and easy way to gauge if you have much in common with them.

      Glad to be home and did go out for a walk this morning.Good thing is that went good.Still taking it easy

      It certainly could be classed as dark humor.  Unfortunately the sentiments alone must hurt young trans folks.  Decency and reality doesn't seem to be in the GOP's vocabulary.   Hugs,   Charlize

      Good morning all,    It’s a frosty morning here the lawn looks silvery, and the uncovered spring flowers have icy edges on their leaves. The only flower bed I covered was my tulips. As nice as it is here during the day, our clear wind free nights allow the temperatures to drop into the mid twenties. Here in our growing zone it’s recommended that you not plant delicate plants until Mother’s Day. Central Indiana can have snow as late as the third week of May. The birds are active at the feeders, I’ve had my cup of yoghurt and morning meds. So I’ll sit here, drink coffee and watch the as the sunrise chases the frost from the yard.    @awkward-yet-sweet I could eat black eyed peas as a side for every meal. Boil them plain or with fatback. Served as a leftover, just add in a little Rotel Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies.  Make the best of your day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Had a weird dream last night.
    • Mirrabooka
      Morning, y'all. Evening here; we had the regulation three mugs full today. Now it's time to drink something else.     No big plans here either, eldest daughter and granddaughter will be arriving on Saturday, and we will have our granddaughter to ourselves for a week after that. We still have plans though. Tuesday we'll go to the swim center, Wednesday we'll take a road trip to visit my mom, Thursday we'll get some mulch delivered to top up the gardens.   I still make other small plans on a daily basis though. The things I do plan nowadays, which is a bit new for me, is that after pinching a nerve and ending up in a bit of pain and getting some treatment from the physio, I am more motivated than ever to exercise more regularly. Tuesday for example, I went for a short (15 minute) early morning walk, went to the pool for some hydrotherapy, and mowed the lawns. Yesterday I did my exercise reps and spent some time on the exercise bike. Today, I went for a 45-minute walk, tomorrow I will do my reps again and go for a long bike ride. As long as I do at least one thing every day, right? The pleasing thing is that I'm losing weight! I blew out to above 95kg early in the year and I'm just under 91kg now. Yay me!
