Today is Day #4 on the Premarin 2.5mg daily.
Yesterday was most definitely not what I'd call a productive day. Apart from attending the weekly transgender support group at New Leaf, and doing my grocery shopping at Rainbow (saved 20% off my entire total by finding and using the phone book coupon), I accomplished nothing. I returned from grocery shopping at 7:00 pm feeling very...

Well, yesterday I had an okay day, I guess. Practiced some on my horns and felt okay mood-wise.
I went to the 'transgender MTF support group' at the Tom Waddell clinic last night at six pm, to give it another chance. I'm sorry, but sitting in a meeting room with a dozen tranny girls watching a DVD of some TV show (the one last night...

No consciously perceptible effects after one day of estrogen pills. The starting dose I'm taking is one half of the typical recommended maintenance dose - see Typical Hormone Regimens. I'm eager to start feeling something... but not too eager (I don't want to get bowled over). I can be patient. If I don't feel anything in two weeks then maybe the anti-androgen med will...

Invisible Monsters is and excellent book, I have read it a few times now.
It is Monday afternoon. I went to bed at ten pm last night, slept well, and woke up at 9:30 am, then laid in bed until 10:40 before deciding at last to get up. I have showered, eaten breakfast, and completed my morning routine of checking email and visiting my usual websites to see what's up.
This morning I took my first dose of Premarin,...

As for the stereotypical "raging female hormones" what little research I've done online so far seems to suggest that this phenomenon which biological women are known to be prone to is mainly associated with the periodic fluctuations in hormone levels during the menstrual cycle. Transgendered women as a rule take a steady dose of hormones and so we do not typically experience this sort of emotional roller coaster effect.
What I can expect to experience, however, is a second puberty, this time as my system is flooded with an elevation of female hormones. That is bound to come with its own characteristic emotional effects...

my bass soothes my restless heart.
I could've slept all day. And would've, but I set the alarm for 9:00 am, so I could get up and eat and shower and do my morning internet routine before heading out to a Society of Janus workshop on 'Sexplay & Sensation Play' at noon at the Citadel club where I went last night. After the workshop I'm going to a free music event...

Last night I finally got some decent sleep. Still not enough, since the Cymbalta remaining in my system made it take me a long time to get to sleep. Hopefully tonight will be better.
Not much time to write today, doing some laundry (did it yesterday but this morning had an unexpected toilet overflow so now had to go wash a bunch of towels), just...

Friday morning. Slept a little better last night but not enough. No Cymbalta today. Going to let this shit flush out of my system and get a solid eight hours' worth tonight if I can.
Free Food Friday. Going to the free grocery handout on Valencia St this morning, then to the one in Diamond Heights at 1:00 pm, and then to the weekly free...

have a good sleep 
Okay, I managed to get a bit more sleep last night than the prior two nights. Probably about six hours' worth. It was hard falling asleep but I slept well. Had some weird nightmares...
Got a phone call this morning and the insurance straightened out my provider change so I shouldn't run into any more snafus with getting my meds paid for. Today I still...

Date went okay. No serious chemistry but I wouldn't mind seeing her again. She seemed noncommittal when I suggested a second meeting, so I guess it won't happen. It's all good...
It's early Thursday 1:00 in the morning and it was a rough day, owing to lack of adequate sleep on account of the Cymbalta, which has lifted my mood but left me tired, cranky, sleep-deprived, and consequently: depressed. Well, I'm told my sleep will return to normal. We'll see...

I do hope that things look up for you soon.
The Cymbalta is definitely working to lift my mood dramatically these past couple days. I am feeling really upbeat. Except just within the past few minutes I felt a slump and am now feeling more depressed. The reason is that I haven't slept more than four hours a night for the past two nights, due to being kept awake by the med. I am going...
