New Wig

Before you see the photo, I'm quite a cheap cross dresser and would rather spend money on kids, wife (motorbike if I was allowed one), so I tend to buy cross dressing stuff on the cheap.

So I bought a wig for $9 from Wish ($7 USD ? ), the sort of money that while it looks good on the model, your expecting it to go from the mailbox to the bin in under 3 minutes, like the last one did.

But it wasn't quite that bad, although it will take me a bit of getting use to if I decide to keep it.

On Borrowed time

Well that's what it feels like being gender fluid.

Wife wants the fence completed and retaining back filled and a wooden shed built.
So I have to borrow/steal every second of free time for myself.

Least the fence is finished (and the new shed just needs a door built).
It's the same fence I busted my elbows on a while back using a single person post hole borer, anyway, it's finally finished and due to the mid span supports, it looks really good from the neighbours house. I installed the mid-span supports on extra thick fence rails to prevent the sag between the posts, that would otherwise occur in the next 15 or 20 years.

And the garden has now been filled in level under the fence so wife can go nuts planting.

Sunday lunch time I managed to sneak off to Manukau Shopping center, checked out the shops, looking for a dress for the wife to wear for our oldest girls wedding. I saw a stunning and suitable dress, that would also look nice on me after the wedding.

After shopping, time for coffee at the food court
 

Now on Twitter, I see a lot of girls trying to look cute with something called "stickers" on their phones and my new phone just happens to have "stickers" so what the heck, lets be silly.


On the way out of the shopping center I pasted a beauty shop and decided to have my eyebrows waxed & threaded to a pretty and much thinner shape. Maybe next weekend if I get a chance for a selfie, you might notice a difference.

Just another Sunday

I can normally run quite fast (ish), but not so much this morning at the gym as I had a big coffee before getting on the treadmill
 

So last weekend, I got dressed up casual, took my drivers licence to the post office to pick up a parcel, raced home, really excited to be getting my electronics after a 5 week wait, in front of wife and kids, I tore open the packaging and found quite a few flower bulbs that the wife purchased.
Tuesday however, to my total excitement (again), my electronics arrived. The down side is I ordered the wrong display screen, that's okay I can get another locally for 3 times what I paid for this one.

Anyway, after the gym and not wanting to "get stuck into gardening" just yet, I tried on a few tops at KMart.

Back home, and it's time to chop down 3 large (3 meter high) bushes, dig up their stumps, grind away a slab of concrete, install a retaining wall and back fill the whole area before visitors arrive at 3 pm.

Garden looks great, wife's happy and judging by the pain I'm in, I don't think I need another gym work out for a week.

Belief System

At last, someone (aka Louis Marti, a PhD student at University of California) has discovered our belief system is created by "positive or negative reactions/feedback" rather than scientific evidence. Her research found that once belief is created, no facts are required to support belief.
I bet a few cult leaders, Flat Earthers and Anti-vaxxers have know this for centuries.
That's my "news" from today's newspaper, but what was I wearing you ask?

Simple, I was feeling a bit dark this morning and decided to use eyeliner under my eyes, and blush on my cheek, something I would never normally do, I don't normally want to be a painted lady.
But what the heck, so I completed my dark look with....




























Black lace top, mini skirt and dark stockings.
Now for some reason, a staff member thought I was a lady of the night so I corrected her by mentioning  I'm just about to start to work on a few cars (I didn't mention I was only working on my car, in order to sell it, which I did just hours after advertising it).

So after coffee and reading the newspaper, a change in to more appropriate day wear and a trip to the local mechanics.





Then yet another coffee, with a bit of breakfast at Hollywood bakery

Then off to the busy post office to pay my road licence.


2 down sides
First was my wife's insistence ALL eyeliner needs to be removed - lots of scrubbing.
Second, my youngest said "I look like an old Auntie that smokes".
Talk about coming back down to Earth!

Express your self

Running on the treadmill at the gym listening to song lyrics "express your self"
Well I am.


Yesterday started out okay, I went to Sylvia Park shops, had a browse around, had brilliant coffee
 
Followed that up but having a blood test. I've been on iron tablets and was hoping they would tell me I'm tough like Iron Man, turns out I've less iron than Tony Stark.

Once I got home, I found out wife bought me a "Flexibin", 90 minutes and a few beers later, I had loaded about 500 Kg of rubbish in it, but what an excellent outdoor area I have now the rubbish has gone.

Today (father's day) I got up early, decided to have a coffee out, meet up with my gym instructor who has breakfast at the same shop. Had a brief chat about how many busted tendons I now own and how to still exercise without upsetting the damaged areas and how my girls got me a pretty new sports top for at the gym. 
I do love my tight shiny top, ever since I can remember I've liked tight shiny clothes on women 
 

Eventually I made it to my gym
 
And that's where I started the story about having the freedom to express our selves. 
It's always good having family members that accepts us, even better when they buy us sports tops on Fathers Day.
