I've made a monumental decision
If any people from work and any of my closer/older friends are reading this, they will know that this is a very big deal.
I am no longer wearing jeans at work, and more often than not it will be skirts all the way. I'll also probably be wearing fabulous underwear, but you'll only have to imagine that for yourselves. Have come to the conclusion that by making a bit of effort to look good, I feel absolutely bloody amazing. Really. Maybe it's been boosted by the lack of hair thing but I really do feel great. My confidence is sky high and I feel so ... powerful! Thanks for putting up with all my shit over the years, but apart from the odd relapse which I'm sure is going to happen but be part of life, I don't think there'll be much more of that, frankly.
I used to use the job as an excuse: never knowing whether I'd be crawling around over someone's bench one day, or crawling under it the next, so I couldn't possibly wear a skirt for *that* - it'd get ruined or I'd be flashing my nickers. I realised just after Christmas that I was wearing stuff to hide in the crowd, to blend in with the masses. But I looked *terrible*. Shapeless, scruffy, like I didn't care, when actually I did care. Quite a lot in fact. And my whole appearance and attitude that was emanating from me made me stand out, and not in a good way. My laser treatment has helped. Apart from the first couple of days after a session when I have to hide away till the redness fades away, I know that the hair isn't there any more. It doesn't matter what other people see. They may not have been able to see it (but hell it was quite obvious and bless them for being polite enough not to ask if I was having gender reassignment treatment) but I knew it was there. I had to spend time every day getting rid of it.
As I no longer have to crawl anywhere at work, except maybe to get a payrise, I do not need to wear jeans. And I will admit when I'm wrong: Gok Wan knows what he's talking about when it comes to corsetry and shapewear. I probably am wearing something tight and cinching, yes they are stockings not tights and there is likely to be some lace involved.
Get over it!

But nobody takes photos of me. You will never see the great arse, poise and grin that accompanies me where ever I go these days.
I must do something about that.
