Deviation Actions
...so, yeah. I finished making my trousers. They're a little baggier than expected, but they should be wearable with a belt. I want to put them through the wash before wearing them (Mac the cat kept sleeping on them in between my sewing sessions).
My next project's probably going to be a satchel (I've got a metre of drill cotton left over from the trousers, various scraps from other projects, plus I've ordered some webbing -in various colours). I ordered some el wire to decorate it with/mess around with, but when it got here it didn't work (the light on the alternator lit up when I pressed the button, but the wire itself was conspicuously non-electroluminescent).
Gamewise, I've bought a copy of Ground Zeroes, but I haven't really had a chance to play it yet (leave the jokes unstated, they write themselves).
Anyways, this weekend I'll be sorting out mother's day related matters (it's this Sunday hereabouts); baking a cake, that sort of thing.

Another update
So, when I went to the fertility clinic a few months ago they told me that my local authority doesn't cover it for transgender patients, meaning I'd have to pay for it out of pocket.
However when I went to my third appointment with the gender specialist last week (no hormones yet, sadly, since they want me to make sure I've worked all this out), I was told that they have to (more specifically the fairly expensive initial costs; I have to pay for storage, but that's a just-about-affordable fee of ~£100 a year). So that's back on the cards now! =D
Also, sorry I haven't uploaded any baking pics for ages -- I haven't had a functional camer
Update the Second
Wow, it's been nearly a quarter of a year since my last journal?
Well, since I wrote it:
I've had my follow-up appointment at the clinic. My third (and hopefully final before I go on E) will be in August.I'm living full time.I've had an appointment at the fertility clinic to see if I can get my gamete cells frozen, just in case, but my local authority doesn't cover it for transgender patients, so I'd have to go private (and I don't have £3000 burning a hole in my pocket). I can always adopt.My half brother's wedding was on the 1st, marking my first time wearing a dress to a formal event.
I had my first (of 7) vocal therapy sessions 3
Transition update
Well, this isn't the best day to post news, but I haven't done a journal entry in a while, so:
I legally changed my name 3 weeks ago.I've had my ears pierced.My name badge at work, bank account, phone plan etc have all been updated, along with my cards.
My new driving licence arrived this morning (with both my name and driver number updated).I had my first appointment at the clinic (they've written to my GP to ask for blood tests so I can go on HRT, put me on the waiting list for voice therapy, etc).I've had most of the month off work (since March is when holiday time expires).There's finally some non-trouser weather.
Happy Birthday to me~
So, tomorrow (which is in about 50 minutes, local time) is my birthday! =3
I've gifted myself a week off work (just finished my first ever duty manager shift). :heart:

Congrats on the sewing! I've actually still yet to make any form of pants/jeans/shorts/legged bottom from scratch, here.... everything I make is either a dress/skirt or has such simple bottoms I can just buy them.
