Living the lifestyle for an extended period of time is a challenge.

So true...transition has made me more social.  More social means more eating out.  More eating out usually means weight gain....so far so good but it’s very difficult not to go overboard too often.  Portion control is another big part of it.  Moderation is key.

I hadn't thought of that. Although mine is all currently absent post-treatment.

Next treatment mid-March.

After yesterday's hectic day, I was wired and tired. Ended up going to bed after 11 (rare for me) then slept til after 8 this morning. Just now having coffee.

It's a chilly 34° here. Brrrr. I may stay inside all day working in the studio, if I can stay warm enough. Cold fingers get stiff and unresponsive.

Got back from dropping off my toolbox at my new work place.New boss is impressed,know about a few issues with BMWs and  VW/Audi.Start on Monday.I thought change in career was good for me,auto mechanic to construction and it wasn't.

Morning TP,  We’re having an extremely wet monsoon-like weather in the Pacific NW this morning.  I’m sipping on some House blend Starbuck, right now.  I’ll be heading out in 30 mins or so to a 4 hour “new parishioners” welcome or greeting event at the church I’ve been attending.  Should be fun.  I got my nails completely redone yesterday for it.  I went for a French tip this time.  It’s my fav.  The squoval shape feels so different than my normal almond tip style.  I have to say...it’s so much easier now to do my necklace clasps

 

Also, I want to give a shout out to @AdriannaB to wish her a big Happy Birthday?.

[MetaLicious]

Happy birthday, @AdriannaB!

 

@Susan R, those nails are lovely.  They're like, idealized versions of what nails can be...

Good morning all!! I had a bit of a crazy day yesterday. The bus couldn't get on base because there was a supposed bomb threat on base so it delayed us. Luckily for me Eaven is on my bus and I got to spend more time with him. We held hands and when my friend Mickey asked me for a hug he jumped on me and said "Mine!" Ack my heart is going to explode with joy. I think I can say I have a boyfriend, but not officially until we talk, I like to make sure first. Nothing can bring me down today, or the whole week I am so happy!! Hope you all are feeling some of this joy!

Adrianna, that is a great present although it is a Chevy. LOL.

Those nails are all mine and thanks for the compliment, Kymmie.  Keep in mind, I do take huge doses of biotin (vitamin B7) to help though.  I can’t talk about dosages but it’s the recommended amount on the bottle.  It’s helped my nails, hair and also helped in the softening of my skin too.  Sadly, I’m hooked on professional nails.  It’s my one monthly splurge.

 

Susan R?

Here I sit with nubby nails.

Guitar playing sort of limits me to that.

Good morning and coffee toast to all.

Sounds like everyone has a much busier life than I. Nails, snuggly hand-holding friends, workout friends, Chevy Camaros. Aside from grocery shopping, I didn't go out at all, dressed in jeans and flannel, all loose and comfortable  (and shape hiding).

I drew most of yesterday. First attempt at color pencil in forever. So so results. But a good first start.

I'min a pretty good place these days, although feeling a little sad. Part of it is the dreary weather. Part is the isolation I feel from the world around me. So I'm extra glad to be here amongst my own sort of folks. I celebrate that.

Met up with my ex boss and dropped off the company truck handing him the keys.Good thing is it was on good terms not burning bridges.

I've been walking on sunshine most of the day.  When I dream, I typically don't experience any gender, or else it's one of those "OMG! I've become a woman!" dreams. I haven't had one of those since I came out.  Instead, I'm just a girl going about my ordinary business. Last night I dreamed I was trying to catch a bus, and I caught my reflection in the window of the bus shelter. I paused to admire my curves (I actually had curves!), then continued on my way. I woke up so elated!

[AdriannaB]

My mom and sisters came over to see me last night,said I should dress as Adrianna fulltime.Listened and they are right.My wife Nikki,convinced me too and she is right too.Talked to my new boss today,he does know I am in the transgender community and said I am welcomed to come in as Adrianna tommorrow

Morning all! My brother Markus who is the most supportive member in my family is going to be joining me in school tomorrow, I feel really confident that he will fit in and make friends here. Since I am an upperclassmen I have basically adopted the freshmen and made myself a dad haha. Life still seems to be in my favor and I kissed Eaven's hand and his reaction was adorable. I strive to be a gentleman but fun at the same time. Hope everyone is having a swell morning! ❤️

It's dark roast again this afternoon, the snow is flying here (and sticking I might add). 

 

@Aidan5 - That's great having your younger brother join you at school today, how did it go ?
