Audrey, you are wearing my favorite feminine style, "business" style.  And girl, you are rocking that outfit!  I also agree that you are wearing a million dollar smile.  Isn't it wonderful when the look you trying to achieve comes together perfectly?

Lizzy,

 

I adore the boots you are wearing in your last picture post.  I have a pair from Torrid that look similar and I love them.

I think I might be settling into a style I like. Now if could only find this top in black.

 

Oh, that would look nice! You need a little contrast though. Have you considered off-black?

 

Hugs!

Audrey, I love the outfit. David Tate's are one of my favorite fast fashion shoe brands, and they make larger sizes!

 

Finally got unpacked from the move. Today was casual with embroidered levi's, simple t-shirt and a cardigan. Hair by 30 MPH gusty winds. lol. I didn't bother with my hair today since I'm going in for a hair appointment later. First one in about a year! Just going to get it cleaned up a bit. Plan is to let it grow another 5-6" I think.

Had to do some Holliday shopping.   Around here, that pretty much means a trip to WallWorld.  

On the plus side, I was correctly gendered.  That felt good.

Thank you everyone for your wonderful compliments! @Sally Stone The feminine business style is my favorite too and I love how the suit flatters me so well even if it is polyester and only $69. I felt absolutely amazing all day in my outfit - I might even call it gender euphoria, meeting people who treated me like I have always been a woman. I am so happy to read you had an experience like that today as well @Jandi !

 

@Bri2020 It is lovely to see you again! I love the warm color of the cardigan and I am excited to see your hair after your appointment!

 

@Amber76 Your lipstick color makes your smile radiant!

 

Love,

~Audrey.

I should have taken a pic right afterwards but here's the new cut. She just put some layers in and took an inch off the tips. Framed my "bangs" a little.  She loved the way the curls defined, especially in the back and asked permission to post pics to the salon instagram. When they post them I will share the link, I'm sure they're better than my dark room at bedtime pic. lol

@Bri2020 I just love the curls Bri! They turned out just lovely and how flattering that the salon asked if they could share on social media!

 

Love,

This top is one of the projects I've been working on for the last couple of weeks. It's more of a test piece for a 3d printed chainmail I designed.

Does the 3d printer print it out already linked up or just the individual links that you snap together? It looks amazing!

@Elizabeth Star How heavy is that? It looks like it would hurt your shoulders!

❤️Thanks. It prints sections with the rings already connected then I just connect the sections together. The star inlay is a separate piece that I had to "cut-in". It took a little over 250 hours to print and connect all the sections. It would have been faster for me to make it out of steel and copper but with the printer it was hands-off. I was able to set it, forget it and do something else while the machine did it's thing, it's also super light compared to steel and a lot easier of my hands.

3d printed plastic is pretty light. My medium of choice was always aluminum which isn't bad either. Now if she'd gone traditional and made it out of riveted steel... that sucker would be heavy. It also would have taken just FOREVER to do. It's less weight on the shoulders than you'd think though, the weight is pretty distributed.

 

Hugs!

I actually used to fight in maille. A full shirt and hood. I made it out of 14 ga steel. And yes that sucker was HEAVY. 
 

@Elizabeth Star Yours definitely looks prettier and a lot lighter than my old set lol

@Elizabeth StarThis is a good question, and by the time I quoted the question you answered it down further on the thread. The number of hours are amazing.

Liz the chain mail is really cool well done.

Everyone is looking fabulous as always.

Been trying to practice with lighting using my cell phone cam.

Not sure if I like LED or fluorescent but the cell cam is so limited in what it can do. This is the top I had on today.

Plain colors just don't work to well for me I need color LOLOL.

I tried on a mid length pleated  almond color skirt with the almond color long sweater I had on and I felt like a light bulb. It was pretty but too much of one color

      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.

      Good evening @Ashley0616,   I just got offline with HP tech support trying to get my printer tool box icon locked to my tool bar. This is one of the most important features of my printer that I like because it keeps track of ink, paper, and scanned documents. I'm diffidently not a computer geek.   I'll catch up with the other bookmarks next week. We leave to go home for the Easter Holiday with our families. Saturday with her side, and Sunday with my side. What's odd about that is I'm out to more of her side and they're reluctantly supportive. My side on the other hand are less supportive, and my sister just under me in age will not acknowledge my being there. She will be constantly moving to keep from dealing with me. I'm dead to her.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I used to follow baseball and the team I would cheer for is Boston Red Sox. My favorite player was Papi. He was an awesome guy and even held a child during the National Anthem. I haven't watched baseball for a long time. It just died off to me. 
    • Ashley0616
      That stinks that nothing transferred, and no bookmarks were saved!

      I'm doing patches for now but I think soon I'll go to shots because it's hard to alternate when you are doing two xx patches at once. Unless she gives me Estradiol and progesterone

      Go Cleveland Guardians!  I love baseball and I loved playing it when I was younger.

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      The number is relative to method of deliver, the time of the dose, and when the blood is drawn. However, I do want to keep away from DVT and other potential issues. I assume I may be getting backed down from my current dose, but my doc told me to stick with the higher dose, so? I also wonder if this has anything to do the my breast growth and mental changes that have been happening over the past few years, like I have some estrogen sensitivity so a little goes a long way or something? I don't have enough data to postulate, but who knows!   With weekly, subcutaneous, shots you expect to see big swings of serum level estradiol from shot to peak to trough. My doctor is interested in mid-week testing (for E and T levels only), which would be post-peak blood serum levels but they will be higher than trough. Most, if not all, resources I've seen online is to measure at trough (which I might do just to do it next time) along with a SHBG, LH, and other metrics.   This is from transfemscience.org for Estradiol valerate in oil, which is very spiky compared to some other estradiol combinations. It's also for intramuscular, which will have a slower uptake and is usually dosed in higher volume due to the slower absorption rate from muscles. They don't have subcutaneous numbers, which I would expect to see similar spikes but higher levels at similar doses due to the relatively higher absorption rate direct from fat.   Are you doing pills, shots, or patches? And when you do get your levels checked are you getting that done when your levels are lowest or some other time?
