housework, shoes and you lot

Eh, another dreary weekend.

dull outside and dull inside.

I have decided to try and get some of the housework done and just like many others I find that I do a better job and enjoy it more if I first spend the best part of 45 minutes in front of the mirror.

15 min trying to remove that little bit of stubble,

5 min combing hair, 7 min for the nails (need to get some clear varnish), 3 min for lip gloss.

and an absolute age looking at shoes.

It is odd really, I spend a lot of my 'guy' time criticizing how long it takes others to get ready and asking why so much of their closet is filled with shoes.

I really cant see what the issue is - I mean I only have 8 pairs (wnatmoreshoes,wantmoreshoes) and I can get ready in the mornings in less that 4 min (except at the weekends when is can easily take an hour or more).

I am such a hypocrite at times.

I do however suffer the bane of all T-girls trying to find shoes that fit. size 8-9 wide fit with a bit of heel cant be to much to ask, can it?

I have spent a bit of time recently 'googleing' around trying to find some groups of like minded people to meet up with, chat to, or just support but that seems to be harder than I thought it would be.

I mean I live near Bournemouth on the south coast which has a large LBGT pride event every year. I know it has lots of gay/lesbian clubs but I cant find any trans.

Ok, not quite true, I have found the one for under 25s designed to help the young ones work out who they are but it is council supported and once you pass 25 they aren't interested, and I have found the one for the over 65s which I don't get close to. I can't find anyone in the late 20s/ early 30s.

Where is everyone?

Want hugs. #pout#

#shrug# oh well time to get on with one of the jobs that sucks - the vacuuming :-)

love to you all

keratin

I am having grief with keratin.
For those who dont know - that is the stuff which hair and nails are made from.

I, like many others shave all the hair from certian areas of the body, and why not. I enjoy doing it - it is relaxing, I enjoy how it feels, it makes me feel good inside. BUT

God I hate ingrown hairs, I get dozens of the things. I seem to get 1 week o smoothnes followed by 3 weeks of ingrowns before they have all broken free and I can get rid of them again.

Aggh.



Also, nails. I have been trying to grow them out a bit to see if I can not chip them on everything, (I dislike false nails) I'm not doing to bad although I do need more practice at cutting my right hand.

I have started to grow my (head) hair long again - means I overheat more but makes me feel better, I daren't style it as everyone at home and work would get a tiny bit suspisios but there we go.

love to all.
