First Purse Ever!

Visited JCPenny today and walked into the purse section by accident. About 20 minutes after looking around I decided to buy one. This is the first purse I've purchased, ever. Wanted to share.

Great! Be careful buying them is addictive!!!

I have about eight, yikes!  At first it was slightly awkward carrying one but it quickly became comfortable.  I have two small purses but I have to change out my wallet to use them as it's quite large, like my wife's.  She favors huge handbags.

Congratulations, Alicia Rose!  It's funny how good little things like that can make you feel.  You've also given me an idea.  I've been carrying a purse around out of habit, but the thing has this great big butterfly on it, which does not reflect the image of myself I currently want to present.  As soon as I can afford it, I'm getting a canvas messenger bag.

@Caykay1972 You could always try messaging one of the Root Admins asking for help or if they could change it for you.

@tracy_j, Thanks! :3

@MarcieMarie12, I thought about getting a clutch to be more discreet but I found the courage to buy a bigger bag. I'm glad. I feel pretty picky on which to buy it seems, lol.

@Jani423, I can't imagine buying many of them, but maybe another one. They have this cute white and black bag I wanted as well.

@Sander, It's the little things that help.

Alicia I don't have much money invested in them as I am cheap.  I got two from my wife and the rest from thrift shops.  There are some really good deals on like new bags.  I've never paid more than $8.00!   At that price you can afford to pick up something that may only get occasional use.

Yes, it was odd to carry one at first.  I'd go somewhere and think, do I take one or not, or just take a wallet?  Once you get comfortable with it, you won't leave home without one!!

After a while you will not feel fully dressed unless you have a handbag with you at all times.

      I'll go first.  My favorite team is the Yankees.  Loved them since I was a kid.  I was born in NYC so, yeah.  I know everyone loves to hate them, and that's OK.  I just love baseball in general.  It's a game of traditions, strategy, power, grace and skill.   Play Ball!!  ⚾   Carolyn Marie

      I guess you do have a good point. It's just hard to try and not have the same meals over and over again.

      Hi   I’ll weigh in on being picky about food.  Yes, and I was brought up that way.  We didn’t have to eat everything our parents ate.  They had a number of things they ate that they figured we wouldn’t eat, an acquired taste things or one or the other didn’t like them too.   even as an adult there are many things I won’t eat.  In my defense, there are different things my wife won’t eat.   the weird thing is that after being in E, my tastes have changed.  Sweet, sour, salty or bland, if I eat or drink too much of any one thing and I have to counter act it.   Willow

      I have shared my doses and levels a lot and no one has said anything. Yeah I put alarms on my phone to make sure I don't miss a dose. I tend to forget a lot of stuff on what needs to be done. I have been also using the calendar on my phone a lot. I missed an appointment because I didn't put it in my calendar.

      Feeling better than I did yesterday

      It's official. My doctor wants me retested after the last results (too high). The test, that she scheduled, was likely too close to the dose. She did tell me to keep the increased dose instead of reverting to my old one, probably because my "too high" wasn't that high. I don't know what the forum's stance is on results, knowing full well the rules against sharing dosage, so I'll keep those under wraps until I know if it's OK to share those. Less to say, it was over the range she feels comfortable with by about 50%, but taken a day earlier than the midpoint value she was expecting. Grains of salt everywhere!   Of course I messed everything up too, missing my dose for the first time, yesterday. I had to re-reschedule the lab I setup yesterday to Monday from Saturday after taking my shot this morning to avoid the same issue with the testing. I woke up and thought, "Thursday, what do I have to do for work today? OH -crap-, IT'S THURSDAY! I missed my shot yesterday!"   Anyhoo. Question for the ladies: does anyone else get a mild zen-like high after their shots/doses? My brain feels lighter and I'm happier and I feel a lot more girlie this morning. 💃

      I'm into my fourth month of HRT and just titrated up in dosage after my last checkup. This is my life. 🤭   I have yet to grow out of my B cup bras, but I have noticed more fullness, having started with gynecomastia. I am seeing less gapping in bras with my right breast, which has always been smaller than my left. My areolae are slightly pronounced/projected now, that are larger but not vastly greater in circumference, and I have noticed little to no nipple changes beyond their painful sensitivity.

      -It's not a sprint it's an endurance.  -It won't happen overnight. -Seek a gender therapist. -You might lose a lot of support but hang in there. If they truly loved and cared about you they would stay. -Retail therapy helps and plus it builds your wardrobe and shoes. -Makeup is an artwork. It takes lots of practice to do it right and watch YouTube videos on how to put it on or someone who is knowledgeable. -You are going to have roller coaster emotions so don't rush anything.
