Oh well!
Interesting look at your week, Sheila. Mine's too random to breakdown that way.

However, my CDing time, which includes:

Shopping and organising
Online here and other CD related sites
Editing my CD pictures
And finally, dressing

Takes up about 3 hours a day, or, 21 hours a week!:brolleyes:

[Deborah Jane]

I dress about 4 or 5 evenings most weeks, usually starting just before 7pm and removing everything ready for bed before 12pm

So i guess i dress about 20-25 hours most weeks.

[Gabrielle Hermosa]

I'm not going to do a breakdown of all my activities, but between work, drive time (to/from work), daily exercise (1 to 2 hours daily), personal maintenance (showers, grooming, etc.), chores, and spending just a little quality time with that awesome woman who loved me enough to be my wife - I just don't have much personal time left over.

I'm lucky to get a few hours on the weekend to cd. Sometimes I can cd for most of the day on Saturday and do my work around the house like that... but anything outside the house, and it's man-time.

I've pretty much given up the small hobbies I had (gaming, creative projects, other message forums) to spend time here and maintain my cd-related blog (http://www.mycdlife.com) - both of which are very important to me. Just not enough hours in the day. :(

[Karren H]

Since I haven't fully dressed since January... So doing the math... 4 months X 30 days X 24 hours and assume I dressed for 12 hours last time is..... .0042... Or 0.42 % of the time I crossdress!! So .0042 X 24 X60... = 6.05 minutes per day on average... I spent more time calculating how long I dress than I do actually dressing.. And I play more ice hockey on average...

Now I'm so depressed I can't calculate any more... Sigh....

Ice hockey and mathematics, ah, Karen, you always did strike me as the cold calculating type . . .

[Krista1985]

1 work) (average) 5 days:

Part time worker, full time student, probably 40 to 50 hours/week.

2) prep for work, eat breakfast/drive to work:

I clean up fast, on average 10-15 minutes/day. So thats between 1 hour 10 mins to 1 hour 45 mins. And what is this 'Breakfast' you speak of? I remember something about a morning meal but it's all so long ago, before science provided pop-tarts.

3) sleep X 7 nights:

I don't need/get very much. 6 hours per 24 and I'm a ball of energy, so 42 hours per week.

4) Evening & weekend meals:

30-45 minutes each, so 3 hours 30minutes to 5 hours 15 minutes.

5) time spent with Kids/parents/friends weekly:

Usually a couple hours in the afternoon and evening, 3 hours a day I guess. So 21 hours all week.

6) general houshold duties e.g fence repair yard work, decorating etc:

Between 0 and 1 hours a week. Plenty of room for improvement here. 0-7 hours/week.

7)hobbies, church etc:

I read for at least an hour, something other than school related material almost every day. Say 5 hours/week?

8) time spent exclusively with your partner/wife not including cding or talking about it or shopping for your fem self:

Goose egg. I'm single and looking for a kind accepting GG, which takes up some time. I counted that under number 5 though. 0 hours a week.


9) time left exclusively for cding including talking, shopping and being:

Lets see, so far I got 142 hours out of 168 covered, 26 hours of my week are split evenly between the gym and dressing, usually partial dressing due to my limited collection, which needs to expand. No wig, no make-up, just a basic starter kit. I'd like to see improvement in this area too! :daydreaming:

[Faith_G]

If I'm home, I'm dressed. I'm home probably 14 hours a day on average, including weekends.

No SO explains how I get away with this.

[joann426]

well my day starts out in the morninf have to get out of bed fix the wife breakfast in femme mode after that i have to go out side cut the grass in drab wash clothes then take a break for lunch after wash all four cars ,sweep out the garage ,check e mail , have dinner, then go back to femme clothes what a life lololo it is really hard:D

[sissystephanie]

Since I am semi-retired (that means I work if I feel like it, which isn't often!) I don't really have a time table.

I get up in the morning, take off my panties and take a shower. Then I put a clean pair of panties on, along with whatever I decide to wear to the gym. BTW, all my workout clothes are feminine. I workout, go home and change into Stephanie and have breakfast. Unless I am going out on sales calls, or meeting with either of my children I remain Stephanie all day. But of course, as I have stated repeatedly, without a wig or makeup! It is just me in my skirt, etc. And I do go everywhere that way! Except to church, where I am too well known to have them see me dressed.

I would guess that I probably spend at least 150 hours out of the 168 in a week dressed.:love:

[Miranda09]

I can usually get in 2 or 3 hours a night during the week, and on weekends, if I stay in alone (more often than not), I'll try to dress from 6 to midnight or later. Same on Sundays.

[Deedee Dupree]

With respect to CDing time, this is how it is now.

Well, I don't keep track as there is no need to put any more "notches on my guitar"(robert cray), so to speak.

To answer: I don't really have a set routine as it changes week by week. At home nearly every day for the last 2-3 years, but I don't bother with full MU that often if I'm staying in. I rarely go out full femme in public anymore except for a very special affair.

I freely exhibit plenty of female characteristics in my day to day drab mode and on occasion will wear a little make up, mascara, pretty jewelry and rings color coordinated with my boy clothes. I also carry some of my tools in one of my LeSportsac's. My two businesses (44 & 35 years) have allowed me to be myself for a long time since I am the sole proprietor(if you don't like me call somebody else), so, I don't consider this "crossdressing", as in the full femme, "pulling out all the stops" variety, or what I do daily at home

I get together with close friends for private dinner parties & theme dress ups about once a month. This is full femme. And at least a couple times a week I visit a GG friend and will dress up if I have something new to show her or I'm in the mood.

Spend far too much time here, but I suspect that will change as I will be moving soon and I am looking forward to many new opportunities.

[joann07]

I'm mostly a weekend warrior princess, but if I take a day off or two from work, I'm dressing up.

Hugs!

[battybattybats]

given that each week has 168 hours how much of your week is spent doing various activities and what anount of time do you have to CD

1 work) (average) 5 days

Being disabled I cannot work and live on the disability pension below the poverty line. However I do manage to contribute to human rights work as symptoms allow, mostly online.


2) prep for work, eat breakfast/drive to work

The time it takes to make a coffee and usually microwave a croissant.


3) sleep X 7 nights

Ah that varies. This year it's been cycling between usually 5-10 hours a night, with lots of insomnia. Some years ago it was 14-18 hours! Each night is unpredicatable.


4) Evening & weekend meals

On good days when I can stand for a significant period of time I might cook a proper meal, but thats a luxury this year. Most nights this year it's something quickly microwaved. Last year was better and I cooked most nights but I haven't recovered yet from visiting family over christmas.


5) time spent with Kids/parents/friends weekly

My family is in other towns/cities. Most of my friends are too after they finished their degrees or moved for work. And one of my good friends has had severe health issues and is not able to be visited as often. So this year there's a lot less offline socialising. It varies a lot as some weekends the entire weekend is spent in a bush cabin with friends and their family but most weeks it's 8-16 hours a week with offline friends. But there is daily online and phone contact with other friends and family that is maybe 3+ hours a day.


6) general houshold duties e.g fence repair yard work, decorating etc

lol. Just basic cleaning is a monumental task filled with horrible pain and agony. So it's symptom dependant. The neighbours in the other flats handle the yard and the landlord, if forced to by withholding the rent, does the repairs.


7)hobbies, church etc

Totally varies, but some, roleplaying games like D&D, Conspiracy-X, Call of Cthulhu, WHFRP etc is 4-10 hours a week with friends and there's occassional x-box group gaming on top of that (but that is also counted as part of the time-with-friends component as it is a major social activity). If I count art as a hobby too thats on average a few more hours a week. I don't belong to any church but if we count theological discussions with priests, bhuddist experts and an expert on the occult thats another 1-2 hours a week. While I wouldn't neccessarily count it as such but know others would if we count Tai Chi and meditation as church thats maybe 1/2 an hour a day.


8) time spent exclusively with your partner/wife not including cding or talking about it or shopping for your fem self

None as for the moment I am single. When I lived with my then girlfriend it was almost every moment she wasn't working or sleeping. We still talk actually. Especially as she's been asking my advice to help with her current new relationship problems. lol


9) time left exclusively for cding including talking, shopping and being

Well lets see. I'm CDing while sleeping, my dreams include mixed or alternating gender so it counts for much of my dreaming time too. I make breakfast in my pjs/nighty/robe most days so thats CDing too. I mix male and female clothes and wear some makeup almost all the time almost every day doing housework, shopping, spending time with friends. I discuss CDing with friends fairly often when pertinent to the conversation, which as some are gay and lesbian is fairly often relating to shared issues and experiences.

So it's almost 24/7 if genderfree Transgender expression is counted. If not and only full-femme is then remove 3 hours a week for shopping (it's a rural town after all, almost every GLB person in town I know has suffered at least one case of phobic violence this decade so I'm alowly increasing my femme presentation in town but not being fully-femme in public except special occassions) and remove about 2/3rds of the time with offline friends as one friend I'm gradually getting used to my inreasing public feminine expression, though I have shown him pics of me dressed already.

But other than the shopping and time around some friends I can be fully-femme whenever I want and I can be mixed in my gender presentation every moment of every day.

So really I CD 24/7 all week long.
