    "It is Saterday night and I ain't got nobody" words to a song many years ago and far away. .

      I have been reflectiing on this past week and I have accomplished soo much. Most of which was not goals but somehow I managed to accomplish.. 

      First I might say. .I lost 16lbs so far this month. Yea I know, only 16?  well that is sixteen pounds closer to a better weight.  I'm hoping to bust that 200 pound bubble.  I haven't been under 200 for sooo long.  I am confident I might just make it.  lol

      Next I have managed to spend quite a few day light hours 'en fem' over the past week.  I'm feeling more confident with each 'trip' I go out on, I'm very pleased to say.  Most of my past trips were spent in male clothes with my 'silkies' on.  At first I felt naughty but now it seems rather normal.  So I upped the anti by wearing earrings not matter what outside clothes I'm wearing an carrying a womans purse.  Would that be considered a Murse. for man purse.  lol

      My en fem is just a blouse and skinny jeans, but it IS a step in the right direction.  Although I don't have much in the way of blouses. I do have a few and only one pair of skinny jeans.  I have some flats that I'm wearing daily.  I mean to wear some sandles soon but don't because I haven't painted my toesies yet.  Is that a word, lol

     As you can see I'm feeling a little giddy in writing this. .

      School, junior college will start the third week of Sept.  I hope to feel confident enough by then to be going to class with a decidedly feminine appearence. giggle

      My network has been suffering all summer.  I have many aquaintences but few friends. sigh

      I hope to remedy that when school starts.

      On another front. .I have 'quit' for now a trans womens support group that I was attending here. They meet locally once per week. But the last few meetings that I have managed to attend left a sour taste in my soul?  I don't know that is the right word. But mouth is not the right word.  It seems that the moderator is politically orientated.  I don't fault her for her beliefs I just don't go there to listen or talk politics.  I was goin there to be with others like me.  I can't see that women gather to talk politics.  or maybe they do but I would rather talk about gurly stuff.  Like maybe  what I have accomplished what my challenges or how I my challenges measure up to what others have gone through or are going through. Is that wrong?  Maybe but that is why I gave up going to the group.

      Back again.  I had to pause and take my gurl pills. giggle  I'm taking 50mg of spirolactine and 4mg of estrodial.  I had to reduce from 100mg of spiro and 6mg of estrodial.  I had been on that for about a year. But of late I had no energy even to do routine things like dishes, laundry, window shopping, etc.  I would spend a lot of time flipping channels or slip sliding on the internet.  With this 'new'regimine I find I have more energy and spend less time hanging out at home.  

      I have been taking Hormones for a little over three years now.  I'm well pleased with the results so far. But I look at it as a journey rather than trying to get there as fast as possible.  I want to enjoy the trip.  Know what I mean?  By the way. I'm not a doctor or someone with medical training so PLEASE don't take the above as a guide for your own regimine!  I AM under the care of both a general practiioer MD and a hormone specialist.  I would Strongly advise anyone who is considering Hormones to go through a medial staff.  Hormones can be be SERIOUS stuff.  Once started they need ot be monitored by medical professionals.  Hormones can effect so many of our bodily systems.  Everything from emotions to reproductive system.  That is why it is very important to seek medical assistance.

      Well that is about all I can think of to talk about for this entry.  Someday soon, I hope to start up loading some pictures to include in this blog.  They will all be 'G' rated, as I'm never sure of my audiance. Ta ta for now. Rhonda
