hormone fluctuation is wacky, i use transdermal estradiol patches
really wanted more plushies yesterday, so just chose to hop on my early seventies bicycle in a quick six minute decision. pedaled until i ended up in the next town over, a bit over two hours/forty km/twenty miles. had to bike back in the rain at night, but so worth it.
here in cascadia i hear "there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing". sadly i forgot to remember about makeup and rain, which was not so fun. alas cute stuffed animals are much more worthwhile. the awesome cookies my sister baked in obscene quantity helped fuel me immensely. :)
on an definitely unrelated note some "thigh high" (already with my very tall stature barely knee high) stockings i purchased a few months ago slightly before start of h.r.t. no longer fit me at all
a friend did promised to show me how to knit sometime soon so fingers (or knitting needles) crossed i can indulge myself (and others!!) with some nicer cuter comfier socks, for now leggings it is for the warmth.
