Since I "dress" completely every day, I do whatever daily chores are necessary.

If I feel like dressing yet not going out.. then I usually spend it doing Tassia-related things: trying out new outfits and/or combinations, take indoor photos and finding ways to improve my photography/flash skills. Or I will experiment with make-up.
But usually, when I'm staying in.. I'm not dressing up. I will walk in my heels to get my practice, but that's about it. My jogging pants and t-shirt are just way too comfy when I'm inside doing my things.

I cook, clean, do laundry, anything else most GG's do as far as housework type chores are concerned. Otherwise I'm one of those who likes to get out of the house and do something, be it shopping or whatever.
I usually spend a couple of hours each day as me, wearing comfy clothes (capris, shorts, sleeveless tops, housedress) with wig and forms but sans makeup. Do domestic things, garden, just being me. I do some professional writing, and I have always found that dressing helps remove writer's block.
And oh yes -- checking up on what the rest of you are saying!

I get on this forum.
I do what I would be doing anyway except going outdoors or doing dirty or dangerous things around the house. Things like climbing ladders or working with power saws.
just absorb my femininity, practice my makeup, get more used to living in heels, read, BE PRISCILLA, wash my lingerie, contact gurlfriends on the web.
Sadly, not as often as I would like
If I'm not going out? Pose for the camera and then - it depends where I am. If at home - compute, chat on the radio, watch tele. On one occasion when away from home I actually just got on with writing a paper (and sorta forgot that I was all dolled up until I got hungry!)
Don't go out but dress every evening. I just carry on as normal enjoying leisure time.
Like a lot of others, I don't go out much. We're kinda homebody nerdy types, my wife and I. Every day when I get home from work or on weekends, I get wear a skirt and a woman's top. Sometimes just the skirt and a t-shirt. I like eyeliner and mascara, and those are quick to do.
I run roleplaying games online almost every night, play music, watch movies or shows with my lady. Really all the same stuff I did before I started my TG journey, but with makeup and trans reading thrown into the mix.

I'm through accepting limits
'Cause someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But 'til I try, I'll never know!

What do I do once I'm dressed?
-Get re-accustomed to walking in heels. This step is VERY important
-Do any laundry that I need to do for me and the Mrs. (Never dishes though - Long nails? HELLOOO?!)
-Make a coffee
-Take a few selfies of my efforts for posterity (and compliments LOL)
-Watch some YouTube videos from my couch.
-Upload the photos and catch up with my online CD activities
-Make an entry to my blog if it's been a while.
-Chat to other CDs online, catch up with friends

I just spend time being with myself dressed and watch youtube or a film. Catch up with people on forums and read some stuff about dressing and make up, just to be connected with it. And lastly, just enjoy being 'en femme'

For me it is mostly just normal inside stuff, Laundry, Cleaning, Checking on the forum.
watching television, getting meals ready, ect, ect, ect.
my sister's reply when I told her how I prefer to dress
"Everyone has there thing, all that matters is that you are happy, love what you do and who you do it with"
Pretty much. I used to get dressed up and run around my apartment doing chores like laundry. I would also play video games. Once I got confident enough I would go on sites like omeagle and chatroulette to see if I could pass and would usually end up talking to strangers for a while.
Done crying.
Those in-between times when I feel like dressing but don't go out I, once again, try-on EVERYTHING that I own in EVERY possible combinations that I can think of.
Girl watching is very informative. I am always amazed at how they pull-off the stripes and checkereds and colors and styles and put it all together and make it work for them.
Looking at how they dress in fashion magazines isn't quite how they REALLY do it. To see how they really do it you just have to study them at the mall.
I'll never do it the way they do it so I just dress the way they do wherever I go. A mini at the grocery store doesn't cut it.
So getting dressed-up with no place to go is a good excuse to just make a royal mess of the closet and have myself a fashion show.
With a camera on the phone I take pictures of myself in the different combinations and I get to critique them with a critical eye a couple of days later.
So a night in may not be so bad after all.
I mowed the lawn one time "dressed" in jeans.

I'm the same most of you gals I just hang about maybe get on my computer or play some video games and if no one else is at home I can just do my daily tasks around the house
Like most girls here get on the computer. Clean house, watch tv.
Sit around, take photos, watch makeup tips, and enjoy the process. I sometimes think I should go take a drive, then my fear kicks in and I'm happy just sitting in the house. lol. Oh and take the trash to the end of the driveway but it is really late at night and I usually panic and run back to the house in my heels, I have gotten pretty good at running in heels though.
If my wife is home I either watch TV with her or play computer games, we might also have intimate couples times if she's feeling it that day. If she's not around, I'll usually take some pictures if I like how I look, then I'm usually online a lot usually looking at things related to dressing, like shopping sites or lurking on discussion sites and admittedly that often leads to looking at porn and having individual intimate time.
HI Lena,
Short answer is I get all dressed up with no place to go.
I try to play secretary and work in my home office doing something I've saved for just this occasion.
The other favorite activity is being a homemaker. I'll do the laundry, iron or bake some type of goodies to destroy other peoples diets.
By mutual agreement, I don't go out of the house dressed except in very specific circumstances and they don't happen too often.
Usually visit TG/cross dresser web site also play a lot of video games. and do some on-line shopping.

I have suitable clothes for all occasions.
When working in the ceiling, building renovations and under the car I have some quite cute coveralls and work clothes.
I often remove my wig as it does get in the way.
On a comical note, my boobs often have hand prints on them and tops have to be washed more frequently.
No, I do not want to work without my boobs even if it is more convenient.
Work on your elegance,
and beauty will follow.
Read, watch a movie, experiment with a recipe, make a bracelet, clean, etc. Lots to do.
Well... I go femme right after work whether I'm going out or not and change back if I have to. If I'm staying home, I do the same thing I'd always do. Play with the cats, work on hobbies, reading... I'm not going to break out a dress and heels for that, most of the time I go for "comfy casual." I'll only bother with makeup at home alone if I get too upset at the mirror, the feel of my hair, forms and clothes tends to be enough to keep my anxiety under control and make me feel femme when I'm by myself. I do tend to stick with my female voice any time I'm dressed, which admittedly is mostly conversations with the kitties but it feels wrong not to.
You've heard (or maybe not) the expression "work is its own reward"? Crossdressing is like that.
Casual clothes and lingerie in the evenings. It relaxes me, and I really mean that. I change out of my daily drab and into something silky, satiny or feminine casual and all the stress from the day just goes away. It's gone. Sleeping in lingerie brought an end to years of sleep disorders as well.
It's like my mind rotates 90 degrees. Math geeks will note that makes my mind imaginary.
