Well, friday was very warm weather. I went grocery shopping and was immediately jealous of every woman in the store; everyone had pretty clothes (because Easter i guess, dressing up for family gatherings?) Men's clothing is just so... blah. So that felt a little miserable.

Earlier in the week i found out my ADHD evaluation appointment needed to be rescheduled... after I finished the hour+ drive to get to it. Because i didn't see the text notifying me.

Ha ha, yes I was also getting jealous of women in light skirts and dresses this weekend. Keep getting stuck in a loop of "wish I could wear that... wait, I can... but should I...", even though there's no reason not to.

Not even the skirts, the colorful blouses in so many different styles and cuts and materials

I would need to be significantly further along with HRT related body changes (including even starting HRT) for myself to feel comfortable even buying nice clothes like that, let alone wearing it in public. I don't like buying clothes if i don't know they'll fit longer term. Anxiety sucks. 😕

I hear that. Good luck though, you'll get there eventually!

Thanks! I look forward to someday sitting down with a good book and a cat or two, wearing a nice comfy sundress on a warm breezy day ☺️
