I've been dressed 24hrs a day for the past 4 days less a few hours spent tending to my animals and a couple of errands.
Today I decided that I need to get out, but I didn't want to go back to drab, so I asked my wife and daughter if they wanted to go out.
So, in the car we went.. no neighbors around, but nonetheless, I feared not and didn't care if they saw me or not.... Well, I did sort of, but thought they'd think I was someone else driving my car and that is was ok, lol
I needed gas, so I stopped into the gas station/convenience store forgetting that the guy that works at the store on the corner of my street that I see almost every day also works at this store, and wouldn't you know it, he was there behind the counter. There were around 4 or 5 people there.. nobody noticed, or at least I don't think they could tell.. nobody looked twice.. nobody batted an eyelash... AND the guy ahead of me in line said "Go ahead miss" and let me go first.. I get to the counter and did my best to sound like a woman and asked for $10 in gas on pump 3, turning my head to point to my car hoping he wouldn't recognize me... and I am in AWE AND SHOCK..... Not only did he not recognize me, he said have a nice day ma'am..
I am excited and happy how that went... so, my wife and I head to the park to let my daughter play... it was packed with moms and kids... great.. I'm good with this.... I get out and go into the park not trying to hide or be shy.. I did my best to walk and move like a lady and spent time with my wife and daughter like there was nobody else around and nobody noticed, nobody looked, nobody whispered..nobody pointed and nobody laughed.. the world didn't end... and then when I was trying to take a picture of my daughter, one of the other children kept getting in the way.. The child's mother comes over and apologizes to me for her kid being in the way.. I tell her "no worries, thank you" and the lady tells her kid "stay out of the lady's way.. she's trying to take a picture of her daughter".. I thank the woman again and take my daughters picture.. and then the woman tries to start a conversation by asking "are you girls from around here".. my wife stepped in and took control of the conversation from here...... and wow.. I feel GREAT...
So, on the way home my daughter says she is hungry, so we agree that we're gonna go to McDonald's drive thru.. but when we get there, I said "the hell with drive thru.. I'm going in.. and I did and again.... nothing happened.. everything as if this was normal as if I really was a woman.. and I ordered my food, but now the kid at the register had a big smile.. maybe he was happy.. maybe he was a shy young boy and thought I was pretty.. or maybe he though I talked funny, or maybe he clocked me and was being pleasant, professional and polite... and he called me ma'am too
Wow oh wow did I feel so ecstatic, and with a huge smile and laughing out the door with my daughter, a gentleman opens the door for me, holds it open and says "after you ma'am" and THEN my daughter says "LOOK DADDY.. LOOK DADDY I GOT RASBERRY TORT" and the man does a double take, LOL OMG.. I laughed all the way to my car.
Then we get home and my wife tells me she wants a six pack.. OK, I decide to go to our LOCAL grocery that we always go to and I went there EN FEMME and again, everything as if nobody noticed and all is good.. So, I got the beer and I'm waiting in line, but the man behind me is tapping my shoulder asking me "is that good beer" and I froze.. didn't answer.. pretended I didn't hear.. and then he says "Miss... is that good beer".... oh crap I thought.. but still didn't answer... and then damn, wouldn't you know it.. the young girl at the register carded me.. she didn't giggle.. she didn't act funny like she sensed anything.. gave me no indication whatsoever that she read me.. she just wanted my ID and I didn't want to give it to her.. so, I said sorry in my girl voice and walked out..
I got home, scrubbed my face, changed my clothes, except my jeans and everything under them, and went straight back there and went to the same register, to the same cashier.. "Hi, find everything ok" she says.. "Yes, thank you" I say.. she rings it up, bags it.. DOES NOT CARD ME... and I say "I have my ID now.. don't you want to see it".. she looks at me confused like she don't even know what I'm talking about... "no, that;s ok she says" I smile the biggest smile and walk out the door laughing.
Who knows.. maybe some had suspicions.. maybe some did read me.. but none reacted... I'm happy.. I can do this anywhere now
