Good evening everyone. I wanted to try to spread a little positivity in times like these, so I am making a simple journal I can update regularly without feeling like I have to write a lot, as I so often do. So I've decided that every day going forward I am going to try to post a quote, post, or piece of writing that I find inspiring, as well as at least one positive thing about my day. So without further ado, here is my first entry.

Daily Affirmations: Day 1 (11/17/24)



Today I went through some of my wardrobe to pick out clothes I don't wear at all anymore and set them aside to hopefully sell or donate. One of my oldest and dearest internet friends who is around the same size as me has expressed interest in taking a look at some of them, so we will be corresponding about that soon.

Good idea, Lexi. As Roger Waters once wrote, "each small candle lights a corner of the dark."




Daily Affirmations: Day 2 (11/18/24)



I went to a doctor appointment today for testing, and to discuss some HRT related things in preparation for my bottom surgery consultation on January 14th. The doctor was not the one I usually see, she was unavailable so I took an appointment with a different doctor. The doctors I work with are generally people I know well enough that they mostly refer to me as Alexandria or Lexi, but this doctor kept it professional, shook my hand and called me "Mrs. Fitzpatrick", which I should be used to by this point as it's been a full year, but I still feel so very warm and fuzzy and proud when I am referred to in that way.

Nice thread, @Lexi Darling.. Or should I say Mrs. Fitzpatrick 🙂 I will keep an eye on it.

Daily Affirmations: Day 3 (11/19/24)



Today I got approved to start volunteering at a local library starting next week. I like helping my community and I do sometimes run out of things to do at home on some weekdays so spending a couple hours a couple times a week should do me good. Hopefully it will also help for my resume if things get too financially tight here and I need to return to the workforce. I'm sure I will enjoy working in the quiet library environment.

Daily Affirmations: Day 4 (11/20/24)



I'm taking today to deep clean some areas of the house I've been putting off. My sister is in town for the next two weeks, and while she isn't staying with us, she wants to come over to take a look at some of the clothes that I'm getting rid of. I make it a priority to have our home in tip top shape whenever we have company; I do consider homemaking to be my job, and it's been a while since I had the energy to really dedicate myself to it, so I am feeling very good to get back on the ball with that.
