draining week

All week I've worn my bra, a couple of lunches I've just had a loose weaved top to show off my bra as I'm undecided as to which gender, if any, I  want to belong to.

I made a commitment to having a girls brunch for today.
I did not expect my daughter to arrive home at 3 am with friends in tow, who then stayed up until 5.30 watching movies.
When we have visitors staying over I tend to get dressed and leave the house before sun up so as not to shock any of those staying over.
So waking up at 7 am with only a few hours of proper sleep, I wasn't really in a mood for anything other than staying in bed cuddling my wife. However I still managed to throw on some clothes and make up and leave the house, with eyes in sleep mode, in to the cold and rainy morning.

First off was coffee and read the paper (fairly standard Sunday ritual)

Visited the local shopping center, bought cake mix and eggs to make a birthday cake
Back in my car and an elderly Asian lady decides to do some early morning exercise in front of my car. I turned on my ignition and the radio started playing some good old country music. So now I have an elderly Asian lady doing exercise on cold damp morning, in the car park, to country music, so I stay and enjoyed the show until the music stops.
I tried on a few nice jumpers while at the shops but didn't bring enough money for such selfish spending (still got building work at home that needs money).

Finally (10 am) I got to have coffee and some cake with my girlfriend (I had hoped that I would have a regular social group of cross dressers by now - come on Auckland cross dressers, we need a social group that likes coffee outings)

Eventually I got home, still half asleep, and started making that birthday cake I mentioned earlier.
Well the electric mixer hasn't been used for a few months and a spider has entered it and laid lots of eggs - not the sort of eggs one normally wants in a cake mix, but with the vibration I soon had many hundreds of spider eggs in the mix. The mix and the mixer both got thrown away.

Woke up early

Time for coffee before the rising sun.

Beautiful dawn breaking

Camera hobby restarting

Last 6 days

Had a Sunday coffee - getting to be quite a regular thing, but had to be close to home as the car was low on petrol and trying to save - for oldest daughters wedding and some camera gear (stabilizer, mic etc) to video her wedding.
I did get an apology for not being invited to the Hens do. I wasn't expecting one anyway as my job those few weeks will be to be the "man" of the house and that's cool by me.

Tuesday is cheap arse Movie night - cinema was packed with lots of others who don't want to pay more than $10 for a movie. 

I saw The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (totally booked out for this session). Great movie and I will go back to see it again as it's definitely a must see fun movie. 

While I fell in love with the lead actress character, I found myself wanting to undress her - and steal her amazing dresses

Friday I got called back to the doctors. 

As a young child, I often pretended to be "Iron man", but now it seems that is, what is missing from my bio-system (no wonder the nuts and bolts have fallen off).

So here's a picture waiting at the chemist for my iron. 

I could just lick the iron, but knowing my kids, it's still turned on and would burn my tongue. 

Went to the supermarket afterword's (3.30), it was just after school and had to fight my way past lots of teenagers who had just left school.

Hi Stress day

New Zealand lost it's number #8 wire mentality to meet the "International Standard".
So where I had a hole in the external wall for my car to get into the garage, when I filled in the hole with framing, weatherboard and drywall during a conversion, I didn't do a "bracing calculation". Silly me I though a hole had ZERO bracing and my infill would be a lot stronger than the current rating, but according to "the Book" the air was calculated, whereas my infill could weaken the structure.
The same thing was argued when I installed an extra roof support post as I didn't want to rely on the "certified" system, so I got a kicking from council for adding more strength to my garage.

Old (48 years old) configuration - hole where the garage door is

New configuration but more prone to wind shear even though the hole has never failed in 48 years????

With an inspection like that, I need to relax, and how better than getting out dressed.
First to the Doctors, but had to book a slot in another hour, so COFFEE time :)

Sorry, no make up except lip stick, got a busy day planned after lunch, so just a coffee, read the paper and headed back to the doctors.
As I drive in to the doctors car park, I recognized a work colleague at the next shop, but like most people and lucky for me, he was to busy to notice me (I hope).
Turns out I have Tennis elbow after using the post hole borer about 6 weeks ago.
The Doctor didn't even blink when I saw him, probably seen a few cross dressers before - or maybe he remembered me from my last visit :)
