Hope everyone is doing well!

I’m doing fantastic. I’m not working right now, and being a full time home maker, so I’ve been spending some free time completing offers and game challenges for some extra cash on the side, managed to get enough to buy another 9 months of HRT as an emergency cushion so I’ve been less anxious about the lack of personal cash flow.

This past week I took the lady I’m taking care of out for lunch, and when the cashier asked for a name for the order, she dead named me. I hadn’t told her to that point, so I wasn’t mad, but it just got me wrong and made me feel ill.

Pushed me to go ahead and have that talk with everyone else in the household.

That seems to be going well, now my partner is calling me Jessie at home, and it feels nice. Everyone else will need some reminding I’m sure but it’s nice to have that support, and I’m hoping I don’t have to deal with that again for a while.

I decided to take some temporary hair dye we had and see if I could get some color into the new hair growth I’ve had since starting my hair treatment. It didn’t take well on the blonde new hairs, so it looks objectively AWFUL and was upsetting me last night, but this morning when I woke up I could see in the mirror the color catching light so I could see what I had up there. Made me smile, can’t wait to see how much better it gets for me.

Everything is a waiting game. My maternal Great Grandma used to tell me “Ya has to has patience!”, but I don’t wanna.

How has all the other gorgeous ladies here been?

XOXO 💋

Glad things are going so well for you! Having that talk with people close to you has been difficult for me, it's good to hear you went through it and it worked out well!

Life is good for me, lately! I am still very early in my transition, but I have spoken to a few of my friends about it and they were all very supportive, and don't treat me any differently at all, which I was worried about. I am pretty pleased with how everything is going!
