Ugh, it got pushed back another week.

Filled out the gender clinic consult request form today.

Still sort of feeling dazed about this hours later.

Okay, so, I've answered to "Jad" for like 20 years now since my paladin Jadissa back in BC. I've probably answered to Jad more than my actual name in my life! So, uh, it doesn't seem too crazy to consider having that be part of my new name, right.

"Thank fuck I finished the end of quarter avalanche of bullshit. Finally, I can - oh. Sure, assign a half dozen new things because now it's the start of a new quarter. Sure. Cool."
Exhausted by it all. I spend so much of my job now NOT doing what I think of as my job.

Finally fixed (replaced) the dumb sprayer hose on our kitchen sink that's been leaking for most of the past year. I've gotten a lot of fairly important tasks done in the past few months.

Not for the first time, but I wish I had more trans girl friends, especially ones that have socially transitioned and changed their names.

Naming TTRPG and game characters is really tough for me, and trying to figure out a new name for myself feels like that but harder. Unfortunately, my brain has decided that I need a name I'm okay with before I can move forward with medical stuff so I've been stalled for weeks now.

It's bi visibility day and I'm pretty torn on how I feel about it. On the one hand, bi flag colors are really great. On the other hand, I did a lot of thinking about sexuality while I was reconsidering gender, and I really think any attraction to guys is fairly situational these days.

Told my psychiatrist I'm trans today. He was extremely positive and supportive, and told me up front if I ever needed any letters or anything that he would be very happy to help. Pretty much what I expected from him because he is a great guy, but still nice to have it actually play out like that.

Uggggh, I thought I did such a good job at planning out everything today and then I found out something wasn't where I thought it was and NOW I AM RUNNING LATE and it is THE WORST.

Trade show starts tomorrow and I have to look like a guy for all of it and it sucks.

I have discovered that I greatly dislike silicone skin glue / medical adhesive. It is an absolute nightmare to remove from things.

This is all sorts of confusing as someone that's only ever lived in northern IL, WI, and MN. My dad was from MD and lived in TX for years so I know I have had some of that bleed into pronunciation/words, but...California, really? I'm pretty sure it's just saying it because I don't say "bubbler".

So @luthvian.bsky.social got me some thigh highs from Sock Dreams for my birthday and included a little note with the order, and got a response. It is incredibly sweet.

I deeply do not want to spend my birthday tonight raiding, and I entirely blame Blizzard for dropping the new tier when they did.

There should be a specific word that describes the pain you feel when you read your horribly written fanfiction 20+ years later. Maybe German has a word like that already.

I really need to find some communities with trans folks.

Genuinely fairly happy with the vibe and the aesthetic today. Really still an extremely weird feeling to be happy with how I look in any way.

Getting a bit better with practice - I got colors from OPI for this attempt. The blue isn't right but the vibes are there. The other hand is a mirror of this one. I think my next attempt is going to be while I actually have brain pills running so maybe I don't get distracted as easily.

There's days when I really miss the entire concept and community of "after dark Twitter". I have taken more pictures of myself (both sfw and otherwise) in the past 2-3 weeks than I have in probably the past 5 years combined. And like - I don't hate them. I actually like some of them.
