I&#8217;ve been dressing en femme at home. I have found it to be a deeply fulfilling experience and it&#8217;s driven home my desire to transition. On that note, yesterday I had an appointment with a doctor who prescribes HRT by informed consent and I am now on my second day of hormones. I couldn&#8217;t be more excited. <\/p>\n<p>I came out to my brother and sister-in-law yesterday, and while I would say they were both surprised, they are very supportive. The entire phone call actually seemed a little anti-climatic since I had built it all up in my head and they were very calm and collected about the whole thing. It really warmed my heart to have such a wonderful response. I don&#8217;t hold out hope for the rest of my relatives. They are far, far more conservative , but I suppose I&#8217;ll cross that bridge when I come to it. <\/p>\n<p>Well, bad news and good news. I didn&#8217;t make it as far along with <em>Fall of Kruhl<\/em> as I would have liked. I was sick until Tuesday (thankfully it was not covid!) and the rest of the week has been pretty eventful. <\/p>\n<p>My computer suffered a small bit of hardware failure. It&#8217;s all rather complicated, but basically there is a component that caused some issues. My storage drive would show up in the file explorer, but I was getting errors like &#8216;the specified folder could not be found&#8217;. Some files didn&#8217;t get saved to the drive, including the files to Fall of Kruhl and I lost some of what I had written before it could be backed up. I did manage to save some of it with some quick thinking, but unfortunately I lost several paragraphs worth of text so I&#8217;ll need to rewrite that. This weekend will be pretty busy for me, so the story update may get pushed back until next week. It all depends on how much I can get done today. <\/p>\n<p>While this is a total bummer, it hasn&#8217;t really affected my overall mood. I&#8217;m still super giddy about starting HRT.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone have a deliciously demented weekend,<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"7317\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/danielawolfe.com\/tg\/about-me\/daw_signature_md-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/danielawolfe.com\/tg\/wp-content\/uploads\/DAW_signature_md-1.png?fit=450%2C99&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"450,99\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"DAW_signature_md\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/danielawolfe.com\/tg\/wp-content\/uploads\/DAW_signature_md-1.png?fit=300%2C66&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/danielawolfe.com\/tg\/wp-content\/uploads\/DAW_signature_md-1.png?fit=450%2C99&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/danielawolfe.com\/tg\/wp-content\/uploads\/DAW_signature_md-1.png?resize=225%2C50&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"50\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-7317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/danielawolfe.com\/tg\/wp-content\/uploads\/DAW_signature_md-1.png?resize=300%2C66&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/danielawolfe.com\/tg\/wp-content\/uploads\/DAW_signature_md-1.png?resize=200%2C44&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/danielawolfe.com\/tg\/wp-content\/uploads\/DAW_signature_md-1.png?w=450&amp;ssl=1 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"likebtn_container\" style=\"text-align:center;\"><!-- LikeBtn.com BEGIN --><span class=\"likebtn-wrapper\"  data-identifier=\"blog_7687\"  data-site_id=\"58b9c768943ec95325dc4257\"  data-theme=\"custom\"  data-btn_size=\"21\"  data-icon_l=\"false\"  data-icon_l_url=\"https:\/\/danielawolfe.com\/tg\/wp-content\/uploads\/hearta.gif#7754\"  data-icon_l_url_v=\"https:\/\/danielawolfe.com\/tg\/wp-content\/uploads\/heart.gif#7753\"  data-dislike_enabled=\"false\"  data-icon_dislike_show=\"false\"  data-i18n_like=\"Love\"  data-i18n_after_like=\"Love\"  data-i18n_after_dislike=\"Hate\"  data-i18n_like_tooltip=\"Click to love\"  data-i18n_dislike_tooltip=\"I hate this\"  data-i18n_unlike_tooltip=\"Unlove\"  data-i18n_undislike_tooltip=\"Unhate\"  data-style=\"\"  data-unlike_allowed=\"\"  data-show_copyright=\"\"  data-item_url=\"https:\/\/danielawolfe.com\/tg\/blog\/a-brief-update\/\"  data-item_title=\"A brief update\"  data-item_image=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/danielawolfe.com\/tg\/wp-content\/uploads\/inspiration-1514296-scaled.jpg?fit=825%2C619&amp;ssl=1\"  data-item_date=\"2020-10-16T08:50:26-06:00\"  data-engine=\"WordPress\"  data-plugin_v=\"2.6.56\"  data-prx=\"https:\/\/danielawolfe.com\/tg\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php?action=likebtn_prx\"  data-event_handler=\"likebtn_eh\" ><\/span><!-- LikeBtn.com END --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, I&#8217;ve taken a huge step forward in my journey of self-discover, several actually.
