Lovely to hear from you as always, swe...@ Faline: <br /><br />Lovely to hear from you as always, sweetie! I hope you are well!<br /><br />I remember one of our very first conversations, lo those many years ago. (OK, it was actually less than two. lol)<br /><br />You assured me that if I was diligent and worked hard on every aspect of my transition, I would reach the point where I would wonder what I thought the fuss was about for all those years. Once again, I have learned how smart we girls are! :D<br /><br />I still cannot believe how perfectly normal it feels to be out and about as myself. It is only when I catch a glimpse of a woman reflected in a window or mirror that I suddenly remember: <br /><br />Oh, right - she is ME! <br /><br />As it turns out, "normal" equals "pretty darned wonderful." Who knew? :D<br /><br />Thank you so much for the compliment about my smile! :#) Several people have made similar comments recently, which leads me to think I need to leave my dentist a BIG tip after my next cleaning! She must be doing *something* right! lol<br /><br /><br />Thank you again, Miss F! And not to pressure you, but your public anxiously awaits your next missive. :c)<br /><br />Have a wonderful week, hon, and thank you again for... well, for being you!<br /><br />Mega hugs,<br />CassCassidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10765803435751308973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348070062651753968.post-67063520617911787292013-07-22T19:30:21.544-04:002013-07-22T19:30:21.544-04:00@ Jenna: Exercise & rest is, indeed, a potent ...@ Jenna: Exercise & rest is, indeed, a potent one-two! :-) <br /><br />Due to factors beyond my control, nearly all related to work, I haven't been able to exercise anywhere close to my typical schedule (4-6 times a week) for nearly 18 months. <br /><br />It is SO awful!!! My manager and I plan to speak with the upper mucky-mucks about this when we return from our respective vacations.<br /><br />As for my mood... well, I am afraid I had a bit of a meltdown when I got out of bed this morning. :c( <br /><br />I didn't sleep a bit, I had a headache, and I felt woozy. When I then spilled my coffee all over the counter... well, I am afraid I lost it. :c( I cried uncontrollably for nearly 10 minutes. <br /><br />I wound up taking a sick day, which was the right thing to do. It was cumulative, I suspect; it has been a draining stretch, physically and emotionally. Happily, I feel much, much better now. One of the great things about being a girl is that no matter how sad I feel, it goes away quickly! :D<br /><br />So overall, those pictures pretty much reflect how I feel. Just make the bags under my eyes a LOT bigger. lol <br /><br />Thank you for the sweet thoughts, hon!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />CassCassidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10765803435751308973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348070062651753968.post-80506784349593170402013-07-22T14:26:39.360-04:002013-07-22T14:26:39.360-04:00Nice to see you so upbeat after the last post.
You...Nice to see you so upbeat after the last post.<br />You look really happy in the pictures.<br /><br />Exercise and rest. Interesting combination :-)<br />I did wonder if you were either staying up late or couldn't sleep when I saw the time of your last post and especially when you replied to my comment. It was gone 6am here in the UK. For the first time we were almost chatting in real time :-)<br />Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08410714441581467404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348070062651753968.post-89245417595031593062013-07-22T10:25:09.218-04:002013-07-22T10:25:09.218-04:00Very happy to see how comfortable you're getti...Very happy to see how comfortable you're getting in your own skin. At first there's a little trepidation, then when you realize that maybe this wasn't the huge deal you once thought it was, it quickly becomes normal. So, congratulations on your new normal! And keep that big smile on your face; by far the best part of any outfit.Falinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07006373893076810290noreply@blogger.com
