Yesterday was a weird and awesome day.
Work was strange. I'm the information systems manager, responsible for this huge software change the company is making. One of the managers i work with blew up over the amount of extra work involved. Long story short, I may be taking over that person's job. It sounds great, but is also pretty scary. I'm not an accountant and the position would put me in a major role preparing the companies books.
I left that madhouse early to go to my second therapy session. I stopped at home to dress first. The therapist said last time that many of her clients come to sessions dressed. I've never been out driving anywhere in women's clothes, but it felt right. I wore a rose and black top, a black skirt and tights. My only women's shoes proved to be awful to walk around in. No heels, but they actually flopped around too much for comfort. Hard to find shoes wide enough for my feet that are not way too long. *shrug* I'll get there.
Anyway, it felt good to go out with makeup and clothes. Nothing earth shattering, but nice. It was my first time using a purse, too. Though I used to carry a backpack with me everywhere, so it wasn't real strange.
Therapy was good. We're still getting to know each other. She listened and asked questions, mostly about how I've been feeling. I've been having a lot of revelations about my past behavior and interests. It turns out roleplaying games were a way to become someone else for a while in a safe environment. She asked me to start a journal of my feelings and thoughts.
At the end we talked about goals. Right now, my goal is to understand myself better. I have a strong drive to have a more feminine shape and lose my body hair, but the cost, pain and sensitivity have been a problem. I am very interested in HRT, but want to make a wise decision. I don't think this is just a phase or anything like that, but I want to give it time to make sure.
Afterwards, I had to pick up glasses for me and my wife from the optometrist. This was a bigger deal in some ways than going to therapy en femme. But it was just no big thing. I even tried my new glasses on to make sure they fit right and the staff person was very nice.
Then I went home and cooked up a storm for my wife and I to share a nice dinner, since I was home early. She's been really cool and accepting of her new girlfriend.
Awesome day!
