A lot has happened since the last writing. My wife and I have went on several more shopping trips. Since our talk, she has taken on a more active role. Not where I would like to have it ideally yet, but hey, it's progress. She has HELPED me pick out clothes, and looked at a lot of different items, like makeup, nail polish, and other little items. It thrills me that she is finally helping, and taking part in what I do.
I am starting to prepare for my night out at the Tenn. Vals meeting. I have gotten a dress and shoes for the occasion, and I am looking foward to it more, and more with each passing day. I have set up an appointment to have a manicure, and have sculptured nails for the big night.
I have been practicing with walking, makeup, and even as I type this, with very long fingernails, (and find that my typing speed has been reduced dramatically), I am fully dressed (since about 6:00 this morning till now 11:30 pm) trying to get a feel for what it is like to be dressed feminine all day long, and what it feels like to have long hair all the time.
I have worked around the house all day, doing things like the laundry, ironing a few things, taking down and washing all the drapes in several of the rooms, and lots of other meanial chores. I have even ventured outside a few times. During the day, I have not gotten much further than right outside the back door, but, during the night hours I have walked all around my yard, and down to the mailbox, and debating whether to go much further, like a walk around the block.
