True to form, the traffic slowed me down and I picked up the tickets around 3 pm. The lady at the counter used female pronouns and did not ask for my ID. I picked out the seats and placed the tickets in my purse.
I had about 1 hour before the movie started and I realized I had not eaten all day. I was so excited and trying to get ready since picking up the rental car at 7:30 am, I did not eat. While I was hungry and needed to eat, I decided to go to McDonalds.
I do not like McDonald's except for their french fries. I wanted something quick to take the edge off because I did not want to eat too much popcorn at the theater.
I drive to McDonald's, parked the car and went in. It was uneventful as I was treated like a lady and female pronouns were used.
I took it to go and drove back to the theater. It was hot outside, so I parked in the basement parking lot. I found a space up front and next to the basement entrance. I bought a two cheeseburger meal and ate it while listening to music.
We hugged and she said I looked great. So we went in and got a large popcorn to share. We walked in just in time as the movie was starting. It was a good action movie.
After the movie, it was still early, so we decided to go somewhere and talk plus have a drink. She suggested a nice hotel with a bar and sitting area. I drove over and parked. We walked into the hotel. I have to remember as two women, not to open the door. In some cases the door was opened for us.
We walked thru the lobby to the bar. I did notice the male host at the restaurant across the lobby looking at us. But we were talking about the movie. Once we sat down in the lounge, the waitdress came over and asked what "your ladies" wanted. I told her I was driving, so it was water for me. Karen ordered a beer.
We then spent to next 90+ minutes talking about my appointment today and how I felt. I love talking to Karen because it's two women talking and I can tell her exactly how I feel. She kept telling me how pretty I looked and that my legs were to die for. She expects that after some time on hormones, even though I "pass" now, I will be perceived 100% female, even when not trying. She said my skin and makeup looked so good.
We talked about my breasts and that she did not know I has so much.. I told her I wear a sports bra everyday to hide them but I wanted them out today as a sign of my acceptance of them.
We walked around the hotel for awhile because there was a southern video game expo. It was too late to get in but they had some old games in the hallway. I am not a video game player and these were the old machines like Pac Man.
As we walked, Karen whispered to me that this guy was following us. I asked her how she knew. She stated, as a woman, you must become aware of your surrounding and be more aware of safety. So she always uses her periphery vision to watch what is happening around her. I need to start doing that. I usually concentrate on walking, mannerisms and voice. These are more inward looking things. But I need to look outward.
As we moved down the escalator back to the lobby, the guy stayed up stairs and was looking at his phone when I turned around. Karen thought he was looking at me and my legs because of how he was positioning himself and looking in my direction and below the neck.
Next we decided to eat dinner. I choose a restaurant called Tin Drum. It's an Asian quick serve restaurant. Karen is a vegetarian so ordering one of their bowls would give her some options.
After dinner and more talking about girl stuff and my transition, we decided it was getting late (10 pm) and we both needed to head home.
I got home by 11:15 pm and showered and then straight to bed.
What a great day.
