Trans on the Go !

 

Prologue 

Hair update

I have been very happy for the first few days of the week, I only say as it's often the case that heading back to work after a fun weekend is usually fairly depressing, but not so much this week.

We will be having a new thing on our work HR portal where it asks you how you are feeling periodically, maybe I should do one on here.

The last few days were quite busy though, although it's nice to be needed.

This pic is from a few weeks ago, I wanted to see how I looked with my real hair - I'm pretty pleased, although I'm going to stick some just for men on to get rid of some grey - It does rather age me.

Lasers

I had my last of my block of six face sessions on Thursday, and also started the 1st of six on my torso. 

So I was there a little over 40 mins, instead of my usual 15 mins. It should have actually been longer, but they have upgraded to a new machine which produced a bigger spot size, thus reducing the number of zaps required.

It went well, I shed a lot of hair on my face, it's mainly the top lip and the sort of goatee type area where I still have growth. She was also pleased with the reaction on my torso, it went bumpy very quickly which is a good sign.

I've bought another block of 6 for my face, I expect that should be more than enough - perhaps even to present makeup free ! I do sometimes feel a bit over the top at certain groups.  

I had to ask my wife to help me shave my back in preparation for it, which she relented to. She is concerned it's not working very well - but I have been really pleased with the results, and I know of many who have had a lot more sessions and still seem to have issues with shadow bleeding through.

  

Trans-Wakefield

Due to the lasers that afternoon, I was unable to wear makeup, and thus went in boy mode. I really wanted to go to see Philippa as she is out of hospital now, and I had not seen her in a while.

We ate cake, and drank coffee and did our own version of a pub quiz - they have changed the venue so that we are doing two days in the LGBT café now, instead of just the 1st of the month. We still end up at the pub afterwards most times as the café shuts at 9pm. Although this week I came straight home to do some more work - as I said it's been a bit busy.

The Weekend

My current plan is to work tomorrow morning - I need to make next week less stressful. Then I should
be going for a few drinks with my brother at lunch time.

I had been thinking of telling him about me, and I think my mum really wants me to, but well there is currently no rush from me to tell him.  I do wonder if she has dropped him some hints. I will see how it goes, watch this space !

I am plotting taking the Morris Minor on an outing, possibly to the next Chams, so I will likely be tinkering with that at some point too. I have a kit to fix the inlet valve on the carb float chamber. She does leak petrol a bit - but she's getting on a bit, and you've got to expect some incontinence at that age.

I had driven to Woodhall services down the M1 last Sunday, and it seemed to go well. The oil was a tad low on my return, but not sure how much it had in when I set off, school girl error 😊
