You look nice! By contrast, I'm wearing sweats and haven't showered. My sole concession to today's activities have been removing my bra. I still feel pretty feminine though. My cat is sleeping in my lap. I have Big Cat Energy.

 

Hugs!

I have a day off and am getting things done at home and around the house. Will have to run down to the local registries office later and might also do a bit of shopping. Keeping it casual today. ?

Casual or not, I really like that top. I've been trying to add more lavenders to my collection.

 

Hugs!

Thanks Justine I appreciate the reply. I am always looking for colors I have never tried before.

Love the lavender

Thanks for the nice complements, everyone. I notice now that my shirt wasn't as straightened as it could have been. It'll be nice once I look a little more femme though, my body shape is decidedly android. I'm entering my fourth month of estrogen use so maybe there'll be pronounced fat redeposition in the next couple of months.

 

On the plus side, I finally figured out bra sister sizes!

I pretty much wear whatever I want to work these days. It's "Flannel Friday" (something we made up at work). Black Cami, green flannel, blue flare jeans and the way the sun hit my hair just right. It was a feel good day.

Well after my crap day yesterday emotionally when I got home my wife gave me a present of some sparkly shamrock earrings! I had commented last month I needed so St Paddy's day atttire so she got me these.  The world knows when you need a pick me up.  So today it's the earrings and I stole one of her neclaces that have tiny shinny white rocks with little green stones between. The top I paired with a pair of buisness casual denim trousers and my mock wrap top. Black pumps complete the look. I'm going to go shopping for a top similar to this but in kelly green I think.

Cute! I really need to wear earrings (studs probably) more often.

 

Of course first I need my ears pierced.

 

Hugs!

I do, too!  A nice expression, and hair I'd give my eyeteeth for ?.  The pierced ear that's visible adds to your femininity very nicely, I think, as well.

I was going to post these before I went onto the floor this morning, but I ran out of time. The first is a picture of me on the shirt I wore to work and the following is me in my new ladies workshirt. ?

 

I'm also wearing my new bra under those shirts, but I've resigned myself to the fact that I'll probably have to order a properly fitting bra online.

Well, in that case, you're making it look good.

I have resisted a wig.  But if it worked anywhere near that well, I'm in.

Well… I just realized it's almost 1 here, and I'm still sitting around in my nightgown and a shawl.

Lazy day.

Guess I should get dressed, but sometimes I wonder why.

Jandi its good to step outside your normal routine sometimes. Trying a wig might open up a whole new look for you to experiment with.

A nice wig doesn't cost a lot of money and you can go synthetic or human hair for roughly the same money these days.

Some wig shops offer 2 for 1 sales and that is a great time to try something new.

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      Having just a normal emotional day.

      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.

      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.
