The above picture was taken when I first started trying to dress androgynously. I was not yet ready to wear a dress or skirt in public, nor was I prepared to present myself as a female. I've sure come a long way since then!

Last night was not a good night for sleep. I woke up at 8 am with only 4 hours of sleep, and went back to sleep shortly after 10, waking up at 1 pm. Of course, this meant that I was not going to get out and about early in the day as I had hoped. Instead, I got to the LGBT Center for a 90 minute volunteer stint at 3:30-4:00, and left around 5:30. This was truly non-eventful, as I wasn't that busy when doing my tasks.
Afterwards, I drove over to Catherine's in Paramus to browse the store. I could use a new pair of leggings or two, but I didn't find ones I liked in my size. So I ended up not buying anything today. (I have my eyes on a scarf and a chenille sweater that go very well together. The sweater is so soft and cozy, that I'll buy it as soon as it goes on sale.) Since this will likely be my last visit before "Black Friday", I took note of the price points on garments I wanted to buy and will likely buy them as soon as they reach the point I feel they are worth my money.

After I got back home, I chatted with GFJ for the better part of an hour. She had just returned from Florida, enjoying a few days at a housing development ("The Villages") that they hope to market to potential snowbirds like GFJ. However, GFJ will likely never move to a development like The Villages, as there is not enough there to make her comfortable living there. As for me, if I ever get to the stage where I want to live down south part of the year, I'd consider living in a development like that - as long as I'm not stuck with excessive costs in doing so.
