Well, the pace is continuing and seems to be just falling into my lap since I have shed any fears (no, that is the wrong word)...reservations, about getting out there. I went to the same church this past Sunday that I found 2 weeks ago. They all were so happy to see me; and I was happy to see them. Stayed again an hour after for coffee fellowship and had some real good conversations with more people, much less inhibited and guarded in divulging who I was, where I came from and where I'm going. So nice to be who you are and not put on a façade. Ran into Amy, talked to her at length. She is an absolutely beautiful person; very soft-spoken. I noticed her skin, hair, facial features, her manner, her speech, her hair, her hands, and you just know she has worked on it and succeeded in portraying how she feels. Anyway, just so has it, this Friday is the regional annual LGBTQ dinner; Amy told me about it, and I booked my reservation and am going. Yesterday, I had my first of 6 face and neck hair laser treatments, (every 4 weeks) for my beard and neck. Did a pretty good job, I think. You could feel it but not too bad overall. Had to grit my teeth a little doing above my lip and under my nose. Afterwards felt sunburned for about 5 hours. Got the moisturizers she suggested and have been using them often since. Haven't shaven since then and don't seem to be any black hairs or shadow a day later. Normally it would be real heavy by now, black stubble everywhere. There are a few dark hairs, but she explained they where "zapped" and would work their way out of my pores. There where quite a few last night, but hardly any now. The only thing left are the light hairs which I think was probably 20 % of my beard growth. So I called my electrologist and she's going do a full hour treatment next week, instead of just an "introduction". Therapist today had to cancel for tonight; another snowstorm expecting 15 inches and already coming down heavy. Was looking forward to it; I'm really getting to like her. She's pretty sharp. Let me in on a regional insurance company that they've worked with that covers just about everything, even cosmetic procedures. Mine covers next to nothing. I just successfully signed up tp switch effective March 1, so the pace is sure to pick up soon after that. 😃 Jessica
