I hope everybody’s had a great week so far. I wanted to make some kinda post to engage everyone in a casual context. I was originally going to ask in the title “who has been really supportive in your life recently?” So if you want to answer that I suppose you can lol.

I myself have to work all weekend but its the evening shifts so I’ll be fine. My best friend has been especially supportive of me lately, she took me out shopping when I was in between paychecks and even bought me a couple crop tops I wanted. I really appreciate her being so willing to do those kinds of things with me even tho she has social anxiety. Having supportive people in your helps a lot.

My voice is still broken from straining which is really stressing me out. I did get to do some stuff I find interesting for work and hang out IRL with my friends which was nice

My therapist is my number one cheerleader in my life right now. I’m so grateful for them. They really help me see the successes I make when it’s so hard for me to do so on my own

I hope work isn’t too stressful for you @LadyAutumn this weekend!

Thank you ❤ my weekend has been nice and relatively calm thus far :) lots of time to practice my voice while I get some work done on some projects I’ve been putting off.

Make sure to give your voice some rest breaks when you can. I so relate to how supportive and amazing a good therapist can be. They really can make all the difference, and im happy to hear that you’re finding them so helpful 😊

I’m going to a club/party/thing and I’m super excited! The kids are super supportive too. I bought a women’s ticket to the event (5$ vs 40$), and then had anxiety, cuz while I dress the part, my face leaves a bit to be desired. It’s too angular, and my facial hair grows back so fast. It’s so dark, too, I hope my kid can help me cover it when he helps me do foundation and lipstick this evening. But, I emailed the organizer, and they basically said grats for coming out, we look forward to seeing you there, so that’s super awesome!

I managed to find me the cutest kinda Gothic outfit at a thrift store that the cashier helped me put together, but the shoes are a bit hard to walk in. I need to practice walking and driving in fancier women’s shoes! I’ve tried posting pictures here, b/c I think I look really good in it, but connect keeps saying posting pics isn’t working?

Tonight is either going to be amazing, or I’m going to royally fuck it up by being too much of a wallflower. Let’s hope I don’t do the latter.

Had my intake televisit for hrt. Got my prescription written and did my initial blood test. I looked at the lab results, and I am pretty sure I am diabetic so that kinda sucks. (Honestly not surprised though.) Oh well, knowledge is power I can use to improve my health.

So, little bad, but still would say an overall good week.

(Gonna add this is an enby journey, hope everyone doesn’t mind me hanging around here.)
