Some days are rocks

[Sally2005]

A while back someone posted a thread about passing and going out and were not convinced that everyone was telling it like it is... so I just wanted to share that not all days are diamonds, some are rocks.

Lately I've experienced some events that force me to focus on other things than my excape activy of CDing...but I just had to practice the makeup today for a quick mental vacation. I shaved, I plucked, I applied makeup, wig.... but no matter what, I thought I looked like a guy with makeup and wig... the wig was a bit ratty (I washed it and it dried with a slight curl), my beard shadow seemed impossible to cover and overall my image just didn't seem to flow. So my mini vacation was more like a cancelled flight. I didn't dare venture out or get the relaxation I was hoping for.

ps. Trying to have humor in this, but lately anything I've tried to fix has ended up in a worse state than when I started so having it impact my CDing is no surprise... I think the gods are telling me something...stick to doing what needs to get done for now.

cheers, Sally.

Aww, Sally, sorry to hear that. :hugs:

Yeah, somedays the universe seems to be telling you just get on with the job...there will be no fun today. :(

There will be fun some day though... maybe when you least expect it. You deserve it. :love:

Is there a possibility that your mood or emotions are causing you to be more self-critical than normal? I know that it works that way for me. When I'm happy with the world, I can feel like the Queen of America, but on days when something is on my mind or bothering me, no amount of effort is ever enough.

Just a possibility. :happy:

I think that using our sense of sight and perception by looking in a mirror at ourselves may be like our fickle sense of taste. Sometimes our old favorite foods just don't do it for us, and then at another time in the future they taste better than ever. I agree, deal with the issues and tasks at hand and when you are mentally ready, everything will look just right, even though you do nothing different.

Don't be hyper-critical regarding yourself b/c you present as a very pretty and attractve girl!!! Sharon is absolutely correct!!! We all have days when something bothers us to the degree that our emotions and mood are affected!!!

OMG. Do I know the feeling. I have just come out of the closet after a long, long time and just recently joined the Forum. I only had a few days to re-immerse myself into my feminity. I went out shopping and bought a few items. Got some make up and a wig, etc...I wanted to dress up and take a few pics to show everybody that, hey, I really am a crossdresser.

One of my problems is that I always have to wait until late at night to do my transformation act. Step daughter and family live right across the hall and I had to wait until they went to bed. So I was very tired to begin with. Not a good idea if you want to look your best. Even after taking a shower ( a cold shower). Second problem was experimenting with the makeup. Could not lose the beard shadow. Next problem was trying to operate the digital camera. Hate those lousy flash pictures at night. To compound the problems, I tried again last night. Got new clothes, new shoes etc.. . It's midnight and the temperature is still 80*. Then I remembered my days long ago of getting all dressed up and madeup in the summertime and how hot the darn wigs could be.

And of course, how stupid could I be to think that I would look would like I did twenty years ago ( I was kind of cute). Will I do it again? Yes, when it's cooler ( not necessarily when hell freezes over) and after I have lost at least 30 more pounds. " Love to all the boys and girls"

a person does not need to pass to enjoy being dressed. i'm sitting here with a 3 day growth on my face but still enjoying the feel of lace and satin on my skin. no way could i pass but not even trying to just enjoying being me.i just kissed my wife as she went off to work dressed this way and she told me to have a great day and she wished that she could spend it with me instead of with out me. oh well only have to wait 5 hours till we can go out to the movies after she gets off work.
