Man, I first read that as, "He is dinner," and my brain half melted as I did a double take. ?

What I need to be wearing is a new top, something light colored, but this morning as I walked through Macy's (my first shopping excursion since the pandemic began) the selection was severely limited.  Needless to say, I didn't find anything to suit my fancy.  I did find a very pretty ring while in the jewelry department, but couldn't find anyone to ring me up; I guess the staffing matches the selection.

Jackie, I think that Bob wig you are wearing makes you look adorable.  You may not be fond of it, but it flatters you.

Don’t know how that got on there twice.    
 

 

Uploaded twice. Fixed it! That's also a cute hat. I wear a fox-ear felt cap myself. I'm silly.

 

Hugs!

I hope I can make mine look that good but I won't know for a week or two.

So I made an impulse buy today. I took some bad bananas back to Safeway to get them exchanged, and bought a pair of no-nonsense shaping great shapes tights, medium size while I was there. They did feel tight when I put them on but now I have been walking in them for a mile or so (under my jeans) I can’t believe how comfortable they are!  No friction down below. It puts an extra wiggle in my step.

 

I also bought myself for the first time conditioner and moisturizer cream. I can feel the difference the cream makes on my sandpapery skin.

 

I know what you must be thinking! I must sound like baby groot!

Phhbt! No! I only started a skin care routine about, wow almost 10 years ago now? And I occasionally, though rarely, used facial moisturizer. I did start using facial moisturizer regularly over the past year though as I noticed that I was losing suppleness in my skin. Fortunately I have been a regular user of sunscreen so that may have saved me some years on my face.

 

It's never too late to start a skin care routine. Good for you, that's awesome! ?

I've been toying with the idea of buying some tights. Leggings just feel too bulky to wear with a skirt. Sandpaper skin? yeah, it's a thing. I didn't realized how rough my skin was until the last couple months of HRT softened it up. Now it's always dry and I go through a ton of hand and body lotion.

OMG right?  Soft yes- desert dry-absolutely.  I have tubs of homemade moisturizing creams I go through on my legs and arms now.  I think I need to invest in coconut farming with the amount of oil I use.

Ah, OK as someone with eczema here's what I do:

  • Water softener in the shower. There's a cartridge in the shower head that filters a bunch of stuff the city puts into my water OUT of my water (I'm looking at YOU chlorine).
  • Moisturizing body wash. Soap never touches my skin. Mild, moisturizing cleansers only. Mine have extra stuff for the eczema in them.
  • Warm water. Never hot. Hot showers feel amazing, but they dry out the skin. I don't want you to freeze to death, but turn the dial down.
  • Pat, don't rub. I pat dry. None of this scrubbing stuff for me.
  • Seal it in. After I step out of the shower, I rub in a coat of moisturizer. A second coat of moisturizer with sunscreen goes on where I have exposed skin.

This plan was basically me and my allergist working to keep my breakouts to a minimum. I only need to apply extra moisturizer to my hands after I wash the dishes or something similar.

 

Hugs!

I wore the tights to bed and did some research and it turns out that there’s a thing called compression therapy. They sell compression socks to runners and panty hose does the same thing! 
 

when I walk my dog I go a mini of 4 miles and sometimes 20 miles or more. I can really feel the comfort level in my legs this morning.

Freaking -40°C (-40°F) so may not be going outside much today. Just wanted to show off the lady's sweatshirt I picked up. The lady's sweatpants sadly turned out to be not only too small but the waistband elastic seems to be decaying. So I'm wearing my boy sweatpants today. Will hit the elliptical soon.

All the talk of cute shoes in large sizes makes me think of my ex-wife who had the opposite problem - her feet were so tiny (and calves so wide when it came to boots) that no one made adult-looking shoes in her size. (On the up-side she could buy little girl's athletic shoes and save a ton of money, but she still had small feet for a little girl.)

This made me realize that I actually don't have any real clothing for cold weather. I have a coat that I rarely wear because it's so bulky but that's it. You would that since I've been living in the mid-west for the 20 years I would have more. Sub-zero cold and I'm out in sneaker and a fleece jacket or zipper hoodie.

Day 2 of the tights. Walked 17.5 miles in 5 hrs 25 mins, just over 3 mph. They really cut down the fatigue. Also discovered that walking by thrusting the hips completely eliminates chafing and there is virtually no difference in the speed factor. So smart!
 

Men on the other hand tend to fall forward when they walk, which definitely causes some chafing. You can really feel the difference after 10 miles.
 

So I got to practice walking gracefully for five and a half hours and  the legs feel great, no soreness except for a little tenderness on my soles, but no blisters. No evidence of wear and tear on the tights (at least not yet).

Loved my black pants so much I had to wear again this week but with a more body contour mock wrap top. Purple is my fav colour.  This top's plunging neckline was too much for me given no cleavage without a lot of manipulation so my wife sewed a snap up higher on it to make it less plunge-y. Ankle boots today.

Nice! I have to admit, I'm enjoying my pleather more than I thought I would. It's a great look!

A bit of a black theme for me today. My work shirt is red but I don't think it's appropriate for me to wear it for a public photo, so just image a red t-shirt under the jacket. ?

      That does get you the 'starting point' for cup size, but manufacturers, style, breast shape, etc... will effect the results.    Step one is of course finding the proper band fit, then figuring out the approximate cup size with the calculations. Of course you need to try on a few styles after that in different cup sizes close to your measured result until you get the perfect fit.    I have bras in a DD that fit just like my bras in DDD both from Torrid but different styles.    I have some DDD's that fit awesome and some that are a bit loose, but I measure a 46G. It's not wonder that 80% of women are wearing them wrong bra.

      I firmly believe I drank entirely to much for about 25 years. Got drunk every day. This was my coping mechanism to keep hiding deep inside that I was a woman. I miss a lot of signs over the years. Now I drink mabye 1 or 2 beers a day don't even get a buzz anymore. totally accept myself and on regret is that I hide that part of my self which  truly makes me happy being violet 💜. I wasted a lot of time before  being self destructive and had no clue I was just hiding th real me

Is it a safe and friendly area for us to go.  The wife and I are looking for some where to go to allow me to be my true self.     thanks in advance

      Hey, everyone. my life is going down the tubes. at least I think. So, today. A customer called about his car, I told him that the oil change was done. The parts to fix the check engine light are ordered. He can come and get it. For the weekend if he wants. Customer says I didn't want an oil change. it was check the engine light and check for an oil leak. Checking the work order says oil change. The boss wrote the vehicle up. checking with the customer on services wanted.   Being that I wrote down the appointment in the book. and clearly states oil leak. She is complaining because she can't read my small ish writing. It seems she read oil and assumed it as an oil change. It seems like she is blaming me.  She wound up going home because she was too upset. She is stressing about an eye problem she has, she has to get eye surgery it seems she has a tear in her eye.    I feel that I am short for this job. because of the BS they are blaming me on. Plus I am still upset about the trust issue. If either one of the bosses start their Shite tomorrow. I am walking out.

      "I love you so much,"  Lois said.  They met in the driveway. "I could not live without you." "Neither could I." "What are we going to do?" "Find another counselor?" "No. I think we need to solve this ourselves." "Do you think we can?" "I don't know.  But what I know is that I don't want to go through that again.  I think we have to hope we can find a solution." "Otherwise, despair." "Yeah.   Truce?" "Okay,  truce." And they hugged.   "When we know what we want we can figure out how to get there."   That began six years of angry battles, with Odie insisted he could dress as he pleased and Lois insisting it did not please her at all.  He told her she was not going to control him and she replied that she still had rights as a wife to a husband. Neither was willing to give in, neither was willing to quit, and their heated arguments ended in hugs and more.   They went to a Crossdressers' Club, where they hoped to meet other couples with the same problems, the same conflicts, and the same answers, if anyone had any.  It took them four tries before they settled on a group that they were both willing to participate in.  This was four couples their own age, each with a cross dressing husband and a wife who was dealing with it.  They met monthly.  It was led by a 'mediator' who wanted people to express how they felt about the situation.  Odie and Lois, as newcomers, got the floor, and the meeting was finally dismissed at 1:30 in the morning - it was supposed to be over at 10 - and everyone knew how they felt about the situation.   There was silence in the car on the way home.   "We aren't the only ones dealing with this." Odie finally said.   "Who would have thought that?  You are right."   "Somebody out there has a solution." "I hope you are right."   "I hope in hope, not in despair."   "That's my Odie."

      The counseling session was heated, if you could call it a counseling session.  Sometimes Lois felt he was on Odie's side, and sometimes on hers.  When he was on her side, Odie got defensive. She found herself being defensive when it seemed they were ganging up on each other.   "This is not working," Lois said angrily, and walked out.  "Never again. I want my husband back. Dr. Smith you are complicit in this."   "What?" said Odie.   The counselor looked at him.  "You will have to learn some listening skills."   "That is it? Listening skills?  You just destroyed my marriage, and you told me I need to learn listening skills?"   Dr. Smith said calmly,"I think you both need to cool off."   Odie looked at him and walked out, saying "And you call yourself a counselor."   "Wait a minute."   "No."
