I just had to tell someone about my day. Nothing too crazy, but if you are thinking about getting out, do it. I've been out before, but my confidence has always been an issue. This week, I made it out twice... on my first outing all I did was fill up my vehicle with gas, otherwise I chickened out and didn't do anything, my original idea was to go watch a movie. Maybe that's what energized me to go out a second time.
Today I spent some extra time getting ready. I tried doing some subtle conturing on my face shape...I'm not exactly sure what shape I am, but I tried going from oblong to oval. I also tried to minimize the coverage since I end up looking too made up sometimes for daytime. I dressed like in my avitar. For some reason, I was feeling frisky/risky so I did a lot.
I parked my car, across the road from a movie theater thinking I would go look and maybe watch a show... unfortunately the place was closed and the doors locked... instead of going back to my car I decided to wait at the crosswalk and walk to the mall on the other side of the highway. I walked to scrapbooking store there and almost chickened out going in as several people walked out... they all looked me in the face, I smiled... no double takes...hey that felt pretty good...and it would look odd to turn around as the door was held open for me, so in I went. There were people in almost every isle, staff joking around and one young woman on a step ladder adjusting the displays. No odd looks, I didn't want to buy anything so after browsing a little, out I went.
Back on the sidewalk coming face to face with young old, males females...no odd looks, just indifference...people going about thier business and no shocked looks from anyone. The next doors I came to was Zeller's...people were loitering around the doors, but I walked right past and again no lingering glances my way...wow! Inside I just walked around and browsed items, and again no odd looks, people looked at me, but with just the regular nothing is out of place kind of looks. After that, I walked back to the car, but had some unusual encounters on the way...of a good kind. The first was a large truck, I was waiting on the sidewalk for it to pass, but as the cab approached the truck slowed way down...he was checking me out and then he politely pulled ahead just enough so I could cross the road behind him...except by then there were several cars waiting, so I had to cross in front of them... all smiles and waves to let me know I could cross. The next encounter was a surprise. I was waiting at the crosswalk and an old lady snuck up on me. She spoke french and it was hard to hear her...so I moved my face about 6 inches directly in front of hers to hear her...I still didn't get it and I said in a quiet voice 'je ne se pas' ('I don't know') and she seemed okay with that answer, I think she was just asking how long the light had changed and did I push the button. We both waited to cross together...not an ounce of detection! So then I walked by a younger male and female and I got a nice smile from the guy, the girl ignored me. Back in the car. Did I mention there is also about 3 inches of snow and ice on the ground so it is slippery and I'm wearing high heal boots so there is a lot of click clacking going on.
I then decided to go check out the thrift store. To make a long story short there were a lot of people browsing, no one noticed me. I found some low cut boots that fit, but I didn't like the shape.
Next I went to visit the local casino...I didn't have time to go in, so I just walked around the outside a little bit.
Then since I try to avoid being noticed when I return home, I pull on my male clothes over top and wipe my face clean. I parked in a dark parking garage spot and undid my look while in the driver's seat... I parked directly behind a truck with tinted windows... as I was almost finshed, I noticed the truck lights came on and it drove away...I think the driver was there the whole time since I did not see them or hear any door close...I wonder what they saw?...Doesn't matter.
I felt great after this outing. Now I feel a bit tired and mood is low because I'm still struggling with the issue of telling my SO. ...I considered saying ...'guess what I did today?'...but that's probably not the best way. I think its going to be over a romantic dinner when I spill the beans. Anyway, I had a great time, I just wish i could share it with my SO or have her join me.
