How all of this changes our perception of little events in our lives.

[DanielleDubois]

Sometimes in a funny way , my crossdressing changes how I view little events in my life. The other day I was screwing deck screws into a deck I was building for my daughter and the cordless drill slipped and the drill bit for the screws jammed into my thumb taking out a chunk of the nail and creating a puncture under the nail. I looked down at the injury and wasn't concerned about the bleeding or chance of infection. All I could think about was that I wouldn't be able to glue a fake nail on the thumb for a couple of weeks!

And before you ask, it was my male self building the deck and NOT Danielle!

Yep. When I broke my leg, I was constantly aware that I couldn't wear my stockings, and how much trouble it would be to dress up in my girl stuff. Maybe it was this giant cast on my leg.

I totally get you Danielle.. I had a small melanoma burnt off, the first question to the doctor was isnt it harder to see any spots under body hair, hoping she would say yes.. alas her answer was no, you dont have any other spots of concern.. i could see the irony of almost wanting some spots to watch so I can have an excuse shave allover

My CDing is giving me an on gong satisfaction for every pound I am losing. And the thrill of being able to actually fit in my favorite clothes.

If you have any deck screws left, I hear they hold fake nails on rather well!

I know what you mean, but first two words...pilot hole...my biggest thing is not wearing sunglasses. The sun makes me squint and thus forming wrinkles around the eyes and else where causing me to focus more to the eye area when moisturizing, just one more beauty product on the counter.

Exactly! I scraped my leg recently and, yes, my first thought was..🤬 I won’t be able to wear my hose. A gauze covering solved the problem...crisis solved.

[Connie D50]

I have done so many things like that and of course my first thought was ooo no I broke a nail.

I'm an avid do-it-yourselfer who is also somewhat absent minded (just ask my wife :lol: ) and a little accident prone. This is not a good combination and I'm always incurring minor injuries. My usual first thought has nothing to do with personal safety but how my latest self maiming will affect my dressing.

[Tracii G]

Oh yeah been in situations like that.
3 days before a big pot luck dinner at our Trans group meeting I was stung in the face by several red wasps.
One under the eye and the other on the cheek just below that first one.
Needless to say I stayed home on the biggest night of the years with my face all swollen up.

Danielle,
Most of my little knocks and bangs usually get me thinking how it will affect my dressing , nails drive me mad , just to have all ten fingers with nails intact is usually only a dream .

[Beverley Sims]

I ski a lot and rarely come to grief, my wife and I did come to grief the other day and it could have been serious enough to be towed away, thank goodness it was only a minor spat.

I would hate to have to be taken away for medical attention while dressed.

If I broke a leg I would find it difficult to dress for months probably.

Oh! the inconvenience of it all. :-)
