It's been too long since I've added any blogs, and I'm afraid it will be tough to remember all the things I'd have like to write about.  Last week was kind of mentally defeating, and I put off a lot of projects.  Not really because of any specific trans issues, just life's other problems.

Some brighter moments to pass along, I seem to be given the nod to enter and exit the elevator more often than not.  I suppose people may not be sure, and just want to be courteous.  (being nice to that flat chested lady with the masculine features, LOL).   If people are looking at me funny or just wondering, I haven't noticed much of that.

My latest blood test showed that my testosterone level is a '12'.  The typical amount a woman has ranges fro 15-70, and my doctor says that's good, as we were aiming for the lower end of the spectrum.  A typical woman has an estrogen count ranging from 25-150 and mine is at 59.  While that's an Ok score, he says it needs to be in the upper end, so we've increased my estrogen dosage from twice to 3 times daily.

I've posted an answer to the latest question (How do I tell my daughter about your transition) .  While I originally crafted the answer I wish to give credit to the 2 people who reviewed my work, made suggestion and helped re-word it.   I felt this was a very important issue and wanted to have something up there that was truly useful.  So thanks again for the help!

This may be a bit short, but I'm going to try and blog more frequently & just make shorter ones.
