Gaby time!

After lots of careful planning, expenses, and almost the same level of logistics needed for the first moon landing, I have been enjoying a few “me days”. I technically started on Monday, when I moved all my stuff into the airbnb place I reserved for two weeks.
Monday ended up not being even able to change into smething nicer... I had an enourmous amount of work to do assembling clothes and shoe racks, organizing and hanging clothes, taking shoes out of boxes and organizing them on the racks, sorting out all the makeup and jewelry, etc. etc.
Anyway, had several hours on Tuesday, having to endure going to a makeup appointment to find out the place wasn’t open and the lady just “forgot” (we sorted things out... she apologized profusely and we rescheduled for next Thursday). On Wednesday I went out to my Torrid to pick up a couple orders and bought a couple things while there, also stopping by at other stores. On Thursday I didn’t do anything special I think, other than taking some pics.
Yesterday it was a very special day for me. A couple weeks before I had contacted a local hair salon asking if they would be able to see me and style my wig. Didn’t get an answer so I had pretty much forgotten about them. Until I founf their reply in my spam folder! They would gladly see me!
So, as soon as I got to the apartment (go there in the mornings, back home every evening) I relaxed, did my makeup with no pressure at all. I loved the results! Then I “installed the hair system” (fancy talk for “glued on my lace front wig) gor dressed up, and left for the salon. I was one of my best experiences ever! The owner and my stylist (Katie, and I said my stylist because I’m claiming her all for my self forever!!) were so nice! Even other stylists and customers were so nice complimenting my hair color and Katie’s work!
Went to a couple places before I decided to go to the mall so I could return a dress at a different Torrid store. Again the ladies there and everywhere else I went to were just so nice to me! Got compliments about my hair, my outfit, my shoes, my nails, my makeup in general, eyebrows in particular... and a lot of it I believe came only once I was finally able to “switch” into the feminine me earlier that day. It is not always easy to leave the guy self behind... heck, I’m still him, but it was nice from him to get out of the way if that makes any sense. I was able to talk with my “femme voice” and not feel self-concious about it, or walk or move “pretty” not worrying about it. Hard to explain...
I’ll have to say it was a “cinderella day” I just didn’t want it to end...
