This gal's been busy this past week😱. Met my therapist for the first session last Friday, then right back to Boston to finish out First Event. Wednesday, talked to my electrologist about scheduling something soon. I found her searching the internet long ago and was very happy to learn at First Event she was highly recommended and known. ☺️. Tried to walk in, but no one was there, so called and left a message and she called me back same evening. I told her right off the bat I was transitioning and looking for beard and neck treatments, to start. She lit up and we chatted for about 20 minutes, and recommended I start laser first. I told her I would and we set up an appointment for a week from Tuesday to meet her and for an evaluation. Thursday I went to a not so local, but well known Plastic Surgeon and scheduled 6 treatments over 6 months, the first this Monday. A little pricier than I wanted, but they also do non-invasive facial feminization procedures, breast augmentation, and all surgeries up to vaginoplasty. Learned a lot about all these procedures at the Convention workshops! Walked in, got a private consultation right away, too, with my laser technician. Can't wait for that😲. Again , first off, I told her I was transitioning and she likewise lit up, too. Then, today, my second session, with my therapist. Today was "gender assessment". She implied it was just a formality (I sensed I already won her over the first time), and she's already won me over, she's just what I was hoping for. . We already discussed transgender specialty HRT doctors, methods of delivery, etc. I came across highly knowledgeable , THANKS TO YOU ALL AT TG GUIDE!!!! , you see I pay attention to every word you write.👀 . Probably helped that she's only seen me as Jessica and I've been extremely comfortable this way, now. Well have another session for this Tuesday, and I don't think my referral will take much longer.💇‍♀️ 🙏

Thursday was when people were arriving in groves. I would estimate that attendance grew from 100 or more to well over 600. Some workshops were scheduled; I attended "Work it Girl! Posing to perfection." and "About Face The Alchemy of Make-up". Both were well presented, I learned a lot that I use now. I think my make-up has improved ten-fold from before. Well worth it.💇‍♀️ after dinner, socializing in the lounge and lobby until the Dance party with DG Gregg. Notably, met Linda and became instant friends. Had much in common except I would guess she's a little younger. She tries to visit one Conference each year; her wife is cool with that; is on her tenth or so year, but the amazing thing is she could pass 24/7 365 days a year. Tall, sleek, pretty, (and she confessed to me and I to her, bald. Beautiful wit, outgoing personality, and lots of fun to be around. The only time she is out is at conventions. Hooked up again later and at the dance party and she coaxed me to get out on the floor. Now I haven't danced in many, many, many years. Never really enjoyed it, always felt too rigid, out of place. Well let me tell you I melted right onto the dance floor, had the time of my life, fell right into my skin, liberated!! Met and had great conversations with another few dozen new friends into the night .
