Saturday and another Susan weekend.

Well it is Saturday April 11^th and that means 2 things, another weekend as Susan at home, also it is Easter weekend so Happy Easter to everyone out there. Now normally Easter would be spent with my Mom but with the shutdown right now I can’t go over there so weekend as Susan wins out. now right now my normal weekend starts Friday when I get home from work and last through Sunday night. Well I got home Friday night and found out I have an online training Saturday morning so I had to get some things ready and that meant Susan would have to wait. Now the training was being done on Zoom which is a video meeting place so it would be after the training I would get to be Susan. I got up Saturday morning and did my training till 11 and then started getting ready as Susan for my weekend. Now I only bring this up as a couple girls had talked about trying Zoom as a way for our group to get together while we can’t get together in person. Now I only bring this up as I got a chance to use it so I set up an account and decide I would see how it worked and if I could get a few girls to use it tonight.

Well I started getting ready about 11 and it was a about 12:30 when I was all ready and looking pretty. I went downstairs and got some picture inside and also on my deck as I figure if I can’t go out with my friends, I can at least post some pictures. Once that was done I set up a meeting on Zoom and sent it out to the group to see if I could get anyone to join me tonight at 7, now I have a free account which give me 40 minutes if we have more than 3 people sign in. Now as I said it is pretty much a weekend at home but I did make a quick trip out as I needed to get some gas so I went to COSTCO, I was going to go in and do a little shopping but there was a line and they were only letting someone go in when someone came out and the line looked long so I passed and just got my gas. Now on the way home I did need a couple things mainly oil for my lawn mower. I should probably work in my yard this weekend, but I want my weekend to be Susan time, but I could get the oil. Beside Fred Meyer also has Coke on sale this week and I need some of that also and a few other things, so I decided to stop and do a little shopping. I did get a quick picture in the car before going in. I was only in Fred Meyers about 20 minutes as I did want to make I a fast trip to cut down on being close to other people. From here I went to Taco Bell to get some lunch and take home.

I ate lunch at home on my deck as it was a nice warm day out, about 70 or so. I am ready for summer and warm weather. Now I also had my computer outside with me and I was surfing the internet mostly Facebook and I saw a picture of one of my friends outside in her yard. Now this is the first year I have really spent time on my deck as Susan, as my neighbors can see my deck from their windows if they are looking at least till my grape plants start growing around my deck which I planted several years ago for privacy but today I actually ventured off my deck and out into my yard and even went over by the fence to my neighbors yard. It was kind of fun to just be out in the yard as Susan.

Now Melisa had e-mailed she would join me on Zoom at 7 so it looks like we will get a chance to try it tonight. I went back inside and watched a little more TV till about 6 and then decided it was dinner time and I was going to go to Panda Express and get some take out, I figure it is the healthier fast food. Now there are 2 I go to right now, the one closest to my house which I go pretty regular maybe once a week as my male self and this one does not have a drive through and I occasionally run into people I know there because it is so close. The other one is my Susan one and it is a few miles away, that one has a drive though and I have gone there as Susan many time, sometimes for take out and others to eat there, but I have never crossed them till now. Tonight, I am going to the one by my house which I go to all the time as my male self.

Now as this one does not have a drive through you have to go inside to order but now they have a table blocking the one door and you order from outside and then you go around to the other door where there is a table where you pick up your order. Now I stopped here 3 days ago as my male self and today as Susan and it was the same young lady who took my order the other day who took my order today, she has actually worked here for a while. Any way I placed my order and then walked to the other door to pick it up. I had to stand in line in both places on the outside of the building. I did take the time to get a quick picture when I thought no one was looking. I got my order and went home and ate. I finished just before 7 which was perfect timing.

At 7 I started my Zoom meeting and Melissa signed in. now if you have never done one of these you have tabs on the top of who is in the meeting and who ever is talking there picture goes to the big picture in the middle of the screen, well if they have their wen cam on. It actually worked really well as we could see each other in real time and talk and it was almost like we were in the same room. Well a few minutes later Nicole joined, her web cam was off as she was in male mode so we couldn’t see her, but we could hear her and talk with her. now it worked really well the only issue is when 2 of us tried to talk at the same time. This could be an issue if you had a lot of people on it at the same time. You can actually have up to 100 people on at a time on the free account, but I think it limits how many tabs you can see. As there were only 3 of us it didn’t cut us off after 40 minutes, so we actually spent about an hour talking with each other. It really was a nice way to socialize with the social distancing right now. I think I am going to try for a virtual Wednesday night dinner this way.

Well after the Zoom meeting I watched a little TV and wrote this blog. I will stay up till about 11 before going to bed and starting it all again tomorrow. Tomorrow being Easter I have a really pretty peach colored dress that I actually bought last year at this time, and I bought it as an Easter dress as I thought the color was perfect for Easter so I am thinking of wearing it tomorrow at least for part of the day. not something I would be out on my deck in or wandering around my yard in, but I will wear it part of the day at least. By the way Monday will be 3 weeks since I got my ears pierced and they seem fine, I was so tempted to try some small hoop earrings I bought when I got them pierced but I didn’t. I may try them next weekend as that will be almost 4 weeks. I really want to try them but I also want to make sure they heal proper. Well I will make the decision next weekend.

Thanks for reading and be sure and read my most recent blog to see what is new in my life. Be safe and happy and have a Happy Easter.

 

Sunday Susan time and playing with makeup

It is Sunday and again another day at home as Susan. Now I am getting a lot of time at home now with everything shut down because of the Coronavirus so I am spending my time as Susan and trying different makeup looks. This weekend I have been working on my eyes, false eye lashes and my eyebrows. Now yesterday when I was at Fred Myers, I bought a Maybelline brow tattoo long lasting waterproof brow tint and I am going to try it today. Now I thought about waiting till next weekend just incase it stays on to well, but I really want to work on my eyebrows look. I have watched a lot of videos on makeup and different looks and then I try to recreate them. If you have never watched some of the makeup videos YouTube has a lot of them, my two favorites are Nikkie and Julia Graf. My eyebrows turned out a little darker than I wanted but they looked great.

I got up at 8 and started my day by getting Susan ready, I took my time especially on my eyes today. There is just something so fun playing with makeup, I find it relaxing. It was about 10 when I was done, and I thought my makeup turned out really well today. Today would start off with doing a little laundry. I got my normal picture inside and then a couple outside. As a male we don’t normally try different looks, but woman do it all the time, different hair styles, color, different makeup. They can change their looks almost daily and no one things anything of it they just get compliments. If a man changes his look people wonder, why. Women really are lucky in this way.

Well I did a couple loads of laundry which was a little more fun as Susan and watched some TV. I have said it before, but everything is a little more fun when I am Susan. I can’t explain why that is, but it is just how I feel. It was about 12:30 when I decided to go get lunch at Taco Bell. Now I have to bring it home, but it did give me a chance to go out and be seen and also get a picture in my car. I got my lunch and went home and ate it on my deck as it is a nice day out. mostly sunny and about 60 out. After lunch I brought my computer out on my deck and did some work. I guess if I can’t go places sitting on my deck as Susan is the next best thing.

I spent a couple hours outside before I went back in to watch a little more TV, today I am watching Season 1 of the TV show Fall Guy. It is one of the shows I use to watch when I was younger, and I bought a couple years back, so I figure this is a good time to watch. I have several TV shows I use to watch but none of them the full seasons, but I figure over the next few weekends I will watch some of them. Now I am normally very busy in my life, so I don’t normally watch a lot of TV but over the last 4 weeks I have probably watched more TV then I did all last year. I really will be glad when this is over, and life gets back to a more normal one.

It was about 6 tonight when I made dinner, I had a nice dinner and will spend the rest of the night watching TV till about 11 when I will have to get ready for bed which mean removing my nail polish I put on Friday. My days are really not that exciting but it is the best I can do for now and if the blog is kind of boring right now I apologize but my blog really is meant for me to document my time as Susan and so it will be like this for the next few weeks.

Now had things not been locked down for several weeks I would have spent the last week in Las Vegas as Susan and that vacation would have been coming to an end. I would be home right now living as Susan. It is sad that we didn’t get to Las Vegas, but I am making the best of this for now. It has been a good weekend and now it is back to work till next weekend. I am thinking about maybe dressing on Wednesday night for a Wednesday night dinner at home. It won’t be the same as being out with my friends but it’s something.

Thanks for reading and be sure and be careful and safe so we can get this over quicker and be sure and read my most recent blog to see what is new.

Saturday and the first day of Susan for the weekend

Well it is Saturday and I plan on spending the day, actually the weekend as Susan. I got up at 8 and it looks like it might be a nice day today as the sun is out. Now I do need to do some yard work and as nice days this time of year are rare I probably should mow my yard if I can so my plan for the day is to be Susan early in the day and then later when the grass has died out some mowing my year and then Susan later in the day. The one thing I am thinking about is doing my yard work and if I should leave my makeup on as most of it would be in my back yard. Well I have time to think about that and I probably won’t do that, but it would be fun. Any way I got up and took my time getting ready as I wanted to take extra time on my makeup. I am using this time to work on different parts of my makeup and this weekend I am going to focus on my eyes, especially my eyebrows. It was about 10 when I was all done and ready for the day. now with the Coronavirus right now most places are closed and we really need to stay away from people but I really haven’t been any place as Susan accept for fast food drive throughs and a quick trip into a store to pick some things up.

Well with the sun out I decided to go the cemetery to visit my Dad’s grave but first a quick stop at Fred Meyers to pick up some flowers. I was on my way and got to the Fred Meyers on 82^nd and Johnson Creek and parked by the garden entrance as this is the less busy side of the store away from the grocery section. I did get a couple pictures in the car before going in, I tried to pull my hair back for a better look at my eyebrows. I went in and this entrance takes me right to the floral section and as I thought there were not many people in this part of the store. Now I like this store as right next to the floral section is the makeup section and they have a checkout there and there is usually never a line there. So with my flowers in hand I went into the makeup section and picked up a few things, a lipstick as the color I am wearing today I used the last of this morning, also a concealer as I used the last of that also today. I also wanted to try the Maybelline eyebrow tattoo as it is supposed to last 24 hours and be waterproof. So, I picked up the 3 items and was on my way to the cemetery.

I got there and placed the flowers on my Dad’s grave, now being a Saturday there were other people here but it is a big cemetery so no one right by where I was although I did have to walk past some people going to and from the grave site. Now I have come here a lot as Susan as a matter of fact whenever I come here by myself it is as Susan. now it was still a little cold out low 50’s so I only stayed here about 20 minutes or so before leaving but I did get a couple pictures before I left. On the way home I stopped at COSCO and got some gas and then hit the drive through at Burger king for lunch. It was about 12:30 when I got home for the rest of the day.

Now it was time to write my blog from yesterday and watch a little TV and COZI TV has 2 hours of Charlies Angels and then 2 hours of Emergency, if you know these shows then you know what good TV is. Now as I said earlier I do need to do some yard work and have been debating about doing it with my makeup on but that would not happen today as it started to rain, it only rained for about 20 minutes but the grass is now way to wet to mow so it will just be a day in the house watching TV.

It was about 5 when I started dinner, as I used the last of my propane yesterday I am going to try pan searing my steak, yes it is steak again tonight as the steak I bought yesterday was just to big for 1 meal. Again, I partially cooked my potato in the microwave before finishing it in the oven. Well my steak came out perfect for a first-time pan searing a steak. I had a wonderful dinner at home, but it would have been so much more fun to be out with my friends. I know I can’t for awhile but this won’t last for every and things will get back to normal and then my friends and I will be able to go out to dinner again and go to the Escape and yes I will be able to go to Starbucks and the mall again.

I will stay up till about 11 tonight before going to bed, tomorrow I will once again spend all Sunday as Susan. this will probably be how I spend the next 4 weekends. I am going to make the best of this lockdown and not let it get to me. I really believe being positive is the best way. I know when I go out as Susan if I am self-confident and act as if this is the most normal thing I can do most people accept that and treat me as I am dressed even though I know they know I am not female. Now as I said in last nights blog had we not had the virous today would have been my first day back from Las Vegas and I would have been spending the next few days just as I am Susan full time. The only difference is I would have acrylic nails and be able to go places. My friends and I will go to Las Vegas in September and I will have acrylic nails then and the good thing is by then I will be able to wear all kinds of pretty earrings. I am really looking forward to that. As I said there is always a silver lining in everything and mine is, I was able to get my ears pierced.

Thanks for reading and be sure and check out my most recent blog to see what is new in my life.

Friday night and the start of a weekend of Susan

It is Friday and the start of a long weekend at home. Yes, with the coronavirus still going on everything is pretty much shut down and that means a weekend at home again and that also means being Susan for the weekend. Now it looks like this will be the case for at least 4 more weeks. Now again there is good and bad about everything you just must look for the good and as I am kind of the glass half full kind of girl that is what I do. Now I am lucky as I can still work as my job is deemed an essential job, so I am not affected yet but on the bright side there is no traffic now. I get off at 4 and it use to take me till 5:30 or later to get home but now I am home in a half hour, so I decided to start my weekend as Susan on Friday night.

As soon as I got home, I started getting dressed up as Susan and by 5:30 I was happily Susan and started making dinner. once again, I am BBQing a steak and bake potato tonight, now while the grill was heating up, I took the time to paint my nails for the weekend. Now this is the week I should have been in Las Vegas with long pretty, acrylic nails so this is my way of making the best of it, actually, today would be the day Cassandra and would be driving home from Las Vegas. Now we are planning on going to Las Vegas this September between September 9 & 18 and we are hoping to get several girls to go. Well back to my dinner tonight.

I precooked my baked potato part way in the microwave before finishing it on the BBQ grill. Yes, once again I am BBQing on my back deck tonight. It is not a really nice day so I doubt any of my neighbors will be out in their backyards and I am only out there a little to turn my steak as it is a little on the cool side. I really do enjoy BBQing, but this is the first year I have done it as Susan. with my steak done it was time to go inside and eat and I got lucky as I ran out of Propane just before I finished my steak but it turned out really good just a little on the rare side but still perfect.

For tonight I am going to watch James Bond while I eat, Diamonds are forever which is one of my favorite and after this one will be Man with the golden gun, yes, I am a James Bond Fan. It was a fun and relaxing Friday night at home and a good start to my weekend. I watched my movies and stayed up till about 11:30 before going to bed. Now the one sad thing is I forgot to get a picture tonight so I will post one of my favorite pictures from a week ago.

Now as I said earlier I was not able to go to Las Vegas because of everything being pretty much shut down which was sad but as such I was able to get my ears pierced something I have wanted to do for years. It has been almost 2 weeks, 9 days at work with pierced ears and so far only 5 woman and 1 male have said something and all they really said was did you get your ears pierced and I simply said yes it was something I have wanted to do for a few years and was able to do it now and that was it other then 3 of the woman also said it looked good on me. Now they are just small gold studs right now and I really can’t tell they are there unless I touch them, but I can’t wait till I can wear some dangly style earrings.

Well my plan for this weekend is to again try different makeup looks and the focus will be on my eyes specifically my eyebrows. I do a pretty good job on them but there is always room for improvement.

Thanks for reading and be sure and read my most recent blog to see what is new

Be safe and take care of yourselves.

Sunday and a day of Susan at home

Well it is the last Sunday of March in our new reality. That means almost all places are shut down and there really is no place to go either as my male self or as Susan and we will have this for the next month. Now I know this is necessary but I also know it will come to an end hopefully sooner than later. If we all do our part maybe we can shorten it. I know a lot of people are freaked out about this but it will end and we will go back to our normal lives. Any way I am making the best of it and will be dressing pretty much just at home for the next month, although I will do what grocery shopping, I need to do as Susan and maybe go through the fast food drive through to get something to eat, in other words I am going to try to maintain as normal of a life as I can and I encourage everyone else to do the same. I saw this cartoon online and had to pass it on.

I got up at 8 and decided to work out a little, yes, I am trying to get back into using my elliptical, I didn’t mention it in my previous blogs but I actually used it 4 times the week I was quarantined. It was about 8:45 when I took my shower and started getting ready for the day. I took my time getting ready as I have no where I have to be. I did false eye lashes again today as a matter of fact I have done them most time I have dressed up over the last few weeks as it gives me practice at doing them and I am getting better at them and they really do look great. They make my eyes pop.

I got a couple pictures and then did some work on my computer, paid some bills, balanced my checkbook you know the fun things in life. This passed the time till about 12:30 when I decided it was time for a little lunch but instead of making a sandwich I went to Jack in the Box and got something to eat and took it home my big outing for the day. Yes, it is like the old days a drive and a trip through the drive through for food. The only difference is it is during the day instead of a late-night drive. I wasn’t out long but long enough for a picture in the car.

I got home and watched a little TV as I ate my lunch, for dinner I am once again going to BBQ a steak on the grill tonight as it was good last night and I thawed 2 steaks yesterday by mistake. Yes, Susan is going to eat well this weekend. Now today on Cable BBC America is showing a Rambo marathon so that is how I will spend my day. I watched Rambo I and II and then stopped to make dinner. I partially cooked the potato in the microwave so I could finish it on the grill with my steak.

Now while I was BBQing my steak on my deck it was a little cool but at least it wasn’t raining which made it nice. Now I didn’t just stay out there as I said it was a little on the cool side but it still gave me a little time outside and yes, I had to get one last picture while I was out there. With my dinner cooked I went inside to eat and watch Rambo III. It really is a boring relaxing day and I will be so happy when I can start going out as Susan as I do really miss seeing my friends and going to Starbucks. Jennifer in our group started an e-mail thread with a picture of her at home dressed up and I replied with a couple of my pictures and so did several of the other girls so in a way we are still able to see each other and communicate, thanks Jennifer. This would be really hard without the internet as you would really feel you are cut off from everyone.

I had a nice dinner and watched my movie and then I will watch a little TV till it is time for bed. Now on to my side note, tomorrow will mark 1 week with pierced ears and I am loving them so far. To tell the truth though as all I have are small cold studs, I really don’t even notice them unless I look in the mirror as I can’t feel them and if it wasn’t for seeing them, I would never know they were there. But looking at some of my pictures if you look closely you can see them. Now I usually don’t put really close up pictures but I noticed you can see one of my earrings in this picture as well as my eye makeup which turned out really well today. I really can’t wait till I can wear some dangly earrings as I will be able to feel them move and brush against my neck and cheek and I think that will be a wonderful feeling. I am already looking at earrings I can buy. I will really have to use self-control though as there are so many cute earrings out there and I can see it would be easy to go overboard. After all, when I am not Susan it will have to be these gold studs or the clear invisible earrings for sports. Yes, I ordered some online and should have them in a couple weeks, seems shipping on non-essential items are a lot slower right now. I have herd 4 to 6 weeks before trying other earrings, for those girls out there with pierced ears what are your thoughts on how long I should wait? I have waited this long to get them pierced and I don’t want to rush it.

I how you all stay safe, happy and positive during this time and I look forward to seeing you all again soon. Please read my most recent blog to see what is new in my life and when I can change my earrings I will post o picture with the earrings I bought when I got them pierced.

Saturday Susan time but really no place to go.

Well it is Saturday and the start of the weekend and I have 2 days of being Susan. now the reason I have the whole weekend to be Susan is because of the virus everything is closed so there really is nothing I have to do or any place I have to be and that means a weekend of being Susan. now on the bad side it also means no [place really to go so it will pretty much be at home, kind of the glass half empty or half full so I look on the bright side and that is Susan time. I got up a little after 8 and started getting ready now I have used a Braun Epilator for years to remove the hair on my legs and arms and I love it. The first few times you use one it does hurt so take a hot bath first, after that you really don’t feel it. My leg and arm hair are so fine and thing I can go weeks. Well I bring this up as after many years it gave out on me today, so sad. I will have to find a new one. I started my makeup and I did false eye lashes and a new color of lipstick. My favorite lip stick is Maybelline matte lip ink, now I am a red color girl and my favorite color is “Ruler” which is a red brick color and very pretty color and can use during the day. my other favorite color is “Pioneer” but this is a bright red and really only good for a night out and really needs the right makeup and outfit to look good. Well when I was out shopping a few weeks back I knew I was running low and bought a new one but evidently grabbed the wrong one and got a color called “Founder” which is just s little deeper red more to a wine color so I decided to try it today and I like it but might be a bit much for daytime, let me know what you think of the color.

I was all dressed and looking pretty by a little after 10am. I git a couple pictures, one inside and one on my deck to see how I looked. Now I use to dress and stay at home all the time till I started going out. Now just spending time at home is not what I really like to do as I really do want to be out in public but for now, I really can’t do that. Well I did spend 9 days on quarantine and could go anywhere so I had to eat the food I had in my house which I did but I really do need to go shopping for some a few things including fresh items like milk and produce so I decided to make a quick trip to Walmart.

I left home about 11 and was on my way but noticed I also needed some gas so I stopped by Costco and decided to go in and see if they had any toilet, I have plenty for several weeks as I don’t let this get to low but on the off chance they have some I guess better safe then sorry. Well I went in and they are still out but picked up a couple things I did need. After here I went and got some gas and then on to Walmart for my shopping.

I got to Walmart and took time to get a couple pictures in the car. Now I don’t understand but the light in the car seems to make my pictures look the best, I think. I even tried pulling back my hair to show my earring. Yes, last Monday I finally got my ears pierced. Now again this is the glass half empty or half full thing. Yes, this weekend I should be living full time as Susan in Las Vegas with my friends and having long acrylic nails for 2 weeks and I am sad I am not as I looked forward to it for the last year. But on the bright side with everything shut down my two biggest obstacles to getting my ears pierced family and my volunteer job. Well my volunteer job has been put on hold till the end of April and also by governor order the assisted living where my mom is, is locked down and only workers can be there so I can’t g over there either till the end of April and that left just my regular job and I figured who cares about what they thought. I can’t remove the earrings for 4 to 6 weeks and that gets me to the middle to end of April which is just perfect timing. For those of you wondering last week at work only 5 people noticed that I know of well they were the ones who said something. 4 woman and 1 man and all they said was did you get your ears pierced? I just said yes it was something I had always wanted to do and with everything shut down I figured why not now and that seemed to be fine with them 3 of the women told me they looked good on me. Now I am sure others noticed but they have said nothing. For the most part I don’t even think about them unless I am looking in the mirror or a touch my ear. I really can’t wait till I can wear other earrings like hoops or dangly earrings. I really wish I had done this years ago but there was just no way.

I went into Walmart and they were kind of busy but everyone was trying to keep their distances which was nice. I picked up the food I needed and a few things I really didn’t and then was on my way. It was nice to be out even for such a short time as Susan and I think that if I have to go shopping again over the next few weeks it will be as Susan so I can get at least a little Susan time out. Not as much fun as walking around the mall or going to dinner with my friends but it is something and that is better than nothing.

I got home a little after 1 and started my day of watching Movies or TV, I did start this blog also and will finish later in the day. now I did take the time to change my hair for the rest of the day and get a few more pictures. The day does go by a little slower just being at home as Susan but still nice to get some Susan time as I am guessing it will be at least a month before I can start going out places again. By the way just a question for those with pierced ears. I was reading the care broacher I got when I got my ears pierced and it said to come back in 3 to 4 weeks to have them checked and wondering why and if I need to do that? Any thoughts? Also how do you tell when they are fully healed or is that why I go back to where I had them pierced?

It was a little after 5 when I decided to make dinner, I had taken a steak out of the freezer this morning and I am going to BBQ it and have a baked potato and cord for dinner. Yes, I will be out side on my deck BBQing again as Susan although with the rainy weather I doubt my neighbors will be out. besides it really is just going out few a couple minutes at a time to turn the steak. The Bake potato took the longest and it was a little after 6 when I sat down to eat and start another movie.

I will stay up till probably 11 or so tonight before going to bed and then tomorrow I will spend another day as Susan. Not the way I visioned this week going but I am making the best of it and I choose to look on the bright side of things as life is much better that way. Stay safe and stay positive.

Thanks for reading and be sure and read my most recent blog to see what is new in my life.

Sunday and some home Susan time

It is Sunday and my 8^th full day on quarantine at home. I have made a couple short drives just to get out and also spent some time on my deck. I am planning another short drive again today. I got up at 8 am like normal and started getting ready. It is kind of fun to do different makeup looks and hair. Growing up as a boy I had the same look all the time as a matter of fact my hair style is basically the same, I had 30 years ago other than a little grey mixed in. female on the other hand are always changing their looks even if just for a night. I really do love playing with makeup and the different looks you can get.

I was all done up and dressed by 10 and on my way down stairs. I got my daily picture at the bottom of the stairs before I started my day at home. My look for the day. Now I started off the day doing some of my training. Now a little bit about my male side again, I do a lot of training some in person in class and some online. Now one thing I have wanted to do for years now is get my ears pierced, last year I thought about doing it for Diva Las Vegas and again this year. The problem is you can’t take out the earrings for 4 weeks. Now I have 3 problems with that one my family, well my mom. My work and of course the training I do. Now work is the least of the issue as I really don’t think anyone would say anything, even if they noticed. Well last week I got notice that through April all my training will be online non in person which gives me over weeks and if I could have done it last weekend weeks. The last is my mom and because of the Chinese Coronavirus the governor has limited to only necessary people at assisted living places in the state which means I can’t go over and see her for at least 30 days. This would have been a perfect year to get them pierced, if I had done it last week, I would already have a week in with them, too bad I was quarantined, as for the next month all I would have to worry about is people at work. Well a nice thought. Well I started on my training and worked on it till a little after noon, before breaking for lunch.

I fixed a sandwich and had lunch in my deck as it once again is a nice day out today. I used this to get a few pictures also. After I ate, I decided to take a short drive down by the river just to get out for a while. It was good just to get out of the house for a while but I really miss the human contact, I am actually looking forward to going back to work just to be able to see other people. I am also taking a lot of pictures while I am home. I got back home and wanted to do a little more work on my computer while on the deck but it was a little warmer now so I changed my top to one with short sleeves.

I actually spent most of the afternoon out on my deck working on my computer and even to a break to start this blog. As I worked on my computer, I could see my red nails from when I painted them last Monday, now they are short and my natural nails and the polish has held up somewhat. The edges started wearing on Tuesday and I got my first small chip on Wednesday. In truth by Friday they didn’t look good enough if I had been going out. I would really rather have acrylic nails or at least gel polish as it holds up better. I bet if I had actually been doing normal daily activities, they would look a lot worse now. I really should re do them but then again tomorrow I will have to remove the polish as Tuesday morning I go back to work.

It was about 3:30 when I came inside and decided to take a break and watch a movie, todays movie is “Hunt for Red October” I enjoyed the movie and when it was over I decided to make dinner, after yesterday when my neighbors were BBQing I decided to get my grill out and cleaned it up and cooked me a steak on the grill. I have spent a lot of time out on my deck today and have not seen any of my neighbors out today. I also cooked up some corn and mash potatoes, instant as that was all I had but still good. I think this is the first time I have BBQed on my deck as Susan, it was fun. I sat on my deck and ate it was really enjoyable and the weather was perfect. Tomorrow they are calling for rain so tomorrow will be inside but should also be my last day stuck at home. it was a little cool as it did kind of cloud up but I stuck it out till a little after 6:30 before going inside. The weather this week has been awesome wish I could have gone someplace.

The rest of the evening I will watch some TV and maybe a movie. I plan to go to bed a little earlier so I can get up early tomorrow, for the last week I have been sleeping in till 8 and starting Tuesday it is back to work and getting up at 5:30 in the morning. It has been fun being Susan for the last 8 days straight and 1 more to go. Not the way I wanted to spend my vacation but Susan made it as fun as it could be. Over the next few weeks, I will get Susan time but being able to go out will be very limited.

Thanks for reading and be sure and checkout my most recent blog to see what is new in my life.

Saturday home alone as Susan

It is Saturday and another day home alone as Susan. Now this completes 1 full week of isolation as it was about 4 pm last Saturday I got the call and went into county ordered quarantine through March 23^rd and it has been a long week but Susan has helped me get through it. Yes, I have spent the week as Susan from when I get up in the morning till, I go to bed at night, not the same as going to Las Vegas but still something. It has also given me the opportunity to try a few different looks. I got up at 8 and started getting ready, now I allow 2 hours to get ready so I have time to enjoy the experience but today it seemed to go faster as I was all ready by about 9:40. Again I tried a new look, dramatic eyes, pinkish lipstick and different hair and I think it turned out pretty well. Now I took more pictures today so a few more pictures will be added and I even changed outfits during the day. not sure on the color of the lipstick, it seems to look better in the pictures then the mirror my just be the lighting. And yes, I am wearing my corset today again. I have found I can wear it all day the only hard part is sitting on the couch with it on. I am interested in what people think of the pictures and which one they like the best, there will be a total of 9 pictures in this blog so if you have a favorite just let me know from 1 to 9.

I got my normal picture at the bottom of the stairs which is above and then started some laundry. Yes, today will be laundry day I think. I got my fist load in the wash and then watched a little TV. I di have to get up every once in a while, as I said sitting on a soft couch in a corset is not very comfortable. Sitting in a hard chair or standing of walking I can wear the corset all day and it really doesn’t bother me. I watched TV till about noon and then made some lunch and went out on the deck to eat it and get a few more pictures. Now as I said sitting on the couch is not comfortable so I took my computer outside for a while and placed it on the railing where I could stand and work on it. I figured I have been sitting a lot this week and standing would do me some good. I caught up on some e-mails and some training I needed to finish I spent a about 2 hours outside on my deck as Susan.

Now while I was out there my neighbors behind were on their deck and I could barley see them over the fence so I guess the same went for them although they probably couldn’t get a good look at me as I had my head down working on my computer. Now the funny thought that came to my mind after a week of only talking to people on the phone and no real contact with someone I briefly thought about going over and talking to them over the fence and had I not been Susan I probably would have. They are a young couple who moved in about a year ago and they really do keep to themselves as I really haven’t seen them out much other then in their yard. Any way they didn’t stay out very long so it was back to what I was doing. Well my battery got low on my computer so I went back inside and watched some TV, today I watches the History Chanel “Ancient Aliens”, I would sit for a while and then get up and stand. I finally brough a regular chair over to sit in. I watched this till it was time for dinner.

I fixed me something to eat and again went out on the deck to eat it and again my neighbors behind were out on their deck BBQing and it smelled good. As far as I could tell they never really looked over my way or paid any attention to me. I had a nice dinner and then as it was still sunny out and probably our last nice day for a while, I once again brought my computer out onto the deck to start this blog and do some more training. Now being late in the day I had to set up on the end of my deck so I can see into the other neighbors beside me back yard and also their front yard and also 2 houses across the street and as I am standing if any of them come out they would also be able to see me but it is just such a nice day out and I want to enjoy it. I like going out as Susan as part of it is so people can see me and I guess this is just an extension of that other then it might be my neighbors that see me. I did see a couple of them out and about but it really is a distance and I don’t think they even looked my way. I was outside till about 6:30 when the sun went behind the trees and it started to get cold so then I went back inside for the rest of the night. the last picture is right before I went in from where I was standing looking at my neighbors across the street.

It has been a fun day and I really enjoyed being outside, usually I don’t go out on my deck till later in the spring when my grape plants are growing and hid my deck. I planted them for privacy on my deck. I will finish off the rest of the night watching movies, fist up will be Star Trek the Wrath of Kahn. My plan is again to stay up till 11 or so and then get ready for bed. I have 2 more days at home as Susan and then I am free. I will be back at work on Tuesday but now I am wondering what I can do as Susan once I can leave the house as not many places are open. Things short term are going to be different and I know we need to keep gatherings down for a while for safety but I really do miss seeing my friends. I will be so happy when we can all get together again.

Thanks for reading and be sure and check out my most recent blog to see what is new in my life. This week’s blogs are really for me to keep record of my Susan time so they may be a little boring but it may be a while till life gets back to normal and we can all start going out to places again. Stay safe and don’t panic as this is just a short term problem we face right now and it will soon be over and life will return to normal.

Wednesday home alone Susan time

It is Wednesday and I got up around 8 to start my day and the first thing I saw was my pretty red nails. Now again today I have no real plans as it will be just around the house but it will be spent as Susan. I took my shower and started getting ready. It is nice to have all the time I want to get ready which is nice as I can enjoy my transformation. I took my time and it was about 10 when I was all dressed and looking pretty. I made a little breakfast to get my day going and then it was time for a little work online. Now I don’t share a lot about the male side of my life here as I have always kept them separate as I don’t think they have anything to do with Susan but I thought I would share a little bit of my interest that are not part of Susan’s life. Some of my interest is Baseball as I like the Mariners and I try to watch the games when I can so I am a little sad that Baseball has been put on hold. I also follow the Stock market, something I got into about years ago and found it interesting. So, I spent a little time online checking my stocks and looking at others. I know a lot of people are freaked out about what is happening and the market going down but it will come back as it always does it is just a matter of time so I used this to buy some stocks I have wanted to buy but felt were to high priced and now they are cheap. Some of my co-workers were asking me about their 401k’s and I told them to up what they put in while the market is down.

Now it was time to go downstairs and watch my first movie of the day, 50 first dates. I got a quick picture and then settled down for the movie. After the movie I decided to go for a little drive just to get out and see what is going on, I really just wanted to see how much traffic was on the streets and there wasn’t much. I was only gone about 20 minutes but it was good to get out of the house. When I got home, I sat out on the deck for a while in the sun and played on my computer, I really am glad it is nice out and not rainy this week. I also got a few more pictures.

Now it was back inside and I decided to watch some TV as they had several episodes of Star Trek Deep space 9 on and I had recorded them. Around 6 I made some dinner and then back to watching TV. I plan to watch a movie later and go to bed around 11. My days are pretty boring but at least I am getting some Susan time and that makes it at least bearable.

The funny thing is even if I wasn’t under quarantine there really is no place I could go, restaurants are closed so are Starbucks except for take-out, bars and stores except for grocery stores. Even after my quarantine is over I really wont be able to go out, our groups Wednesday night dinners are on hold right now for probably at least 30 days and that will be the hard part not seeing my friends for so long but we will get through this and then things will get back to normal. Be safe and don’t panic as this is only temporary.

Thanks for reading.

Tuesday and home alone as Susan

Well it is Tuesday and I have another day at home as Susan. but before today’s blog starts, I have some pictures from last night. before I went to bed, I decided to try on my new dresses I thought and get some pictures. Now the pictures on the left I got a while ago and have worn them each once the 2 on the right I bought recently and have not worn. I took 2 pictures of each dress with different hair. Io made them small as it was more about the dress and my makeup, I had worn for over 12 hours and wasn’t looking the best. I really like the red dress.

I got up this morning around 8 and again took my time doing my makeup and getting dressed. It was so nice seeing my pretty red nails when I got up and I have solved my problem as Lynn read my blog from yesterday and texted me she was going to the store today and could pick up some polish remover for me and leave it on my door step, how sweet is that, thanks Lynn. Now as I said this week’s blogs will probably be boring and are more for me but I do want to keep track of them. Now all dressed and looking pretty I went downstairs for some breakfast and some pictures. I had Breakfast and then did a little light cleaning.

Now it was time to watch my first movie. I have decided to watch the Star Wars Movies today. After the first movie I decided to go out on my deck for a little while and caught up on my e-mails as I sat in the sun and of course got a few more pictures. Now my neighbors could see me out there if they looked out their windows but I really don’t care as I wanted out of the house for little while. Now it was time for a quick snack as I am not eating much at lunch as I am not doing a whole lot right now, and now it was time for my second movie.

Lynn dropped my polish remover off and milk, I had pick that up for me also. She left it on my porch and I had left the money in my paper box for her. This really was so nice of her, thanks so much. Later in the afternoon I got my daily call from the county health department checking up on me. I did check with them and I can actually leave my house, I just can’t have contact with people so I may take a drive tomorrow just to get out. wow kind of like 15 years ago, dressing at home and maybe a drive.

Around 5:30 I made dinner and watched a little regular TV and actually caught the news and the governor of Nevada has shut down all n on essential businesses and that includes all the casinos for 30 days. Looks like we made the right decision to cancel our trip. We will instead go in September instead. I will stay up till about 10 tonight.
