First Full Day: Friday the 18th
I have neglected my closet (aka my storage building) for some time now, and with the receipt of the bags of clothes I mentioned in a previous post I needed to get the space organized. I left early that morning and arrived at the storage area at 6:30AM. I dressed in jeans, 3/4 sleeve knit shirt, hose, and low heeled pumps, with my full makeup, nails, and wig. A little overdressed for cleaning out a storage building, but I sure looked good doing it! By about 2PM I was starting to get hungry, and I was out of hangers. I stuffed what I had left to organize in my shed, and headed to the local WalMart. I walked in, grabbed a Lunchable and some hangers, and made my way to the self checkouts. Unfortunately, there were no empty lanes, so I had to wait. As I stood there in line, I watched everyone around me. It was amazing to watch how many times someone glanced my way and then went about their tasks. Finally it was my turn to check out. I scanned my items, paid for them, and walked out. No one even acknowledged I was there, and I am kinda glad!
The rest of the day way fairly uneventful, as I went back to storage, changed into my drab clothes, and went home. On to the eventful day!
Second Full Day: Wednesday the 23rd
I have wanted to get an ID card with my femme picture on it for sometime to assist me when I go to clubs, or if I am asked for it while writing a check or using my checkcard. As I was off on Wednesday for Thanksgiving holiday and the wife had to work, I decided that would be the perfect day to go. For my outfit, I decided to dress business casual, wearing my black slacks, blue long sleeve knit shirt with a thin black patent belt, tan pantyhose, and black patent 2"wedge heel pumps with a bow on the vamp.
I live in Collin County in Texas, so there are only a few places I can go to get the identification card. Either I can go to Plano, or to McKinney. Part of my family lives in Plano, so I chose to go to McKinney to avaoid running into relatives. After making sure that my hair and makeup were acceptable, I headed to McKinney. I pulled into the driveway of the DMV and noticed that there were not many cars there. I got out and headed to the door, only to find it barricaded with a note stating that it had moved to a different location. As I sat in my car, I contemplated what I should do next. I was set on finding the new driver's license location when an idea struck me. Where I live is only about 1 1/4 hours from the casinos in Oklahoma. I decided now would be as good a time as any to try my luck presenting at a casino as Janet. I headed north on US 75 to Durant, OK, got there at about 10:30AM, and entered the casino. I spent two hours in the casino. I did not interact with anyone but did catch the glances of several people while I was walking around. I had absolutely no trouble at all in there and highly recommend that any North Texas or Oklahoma girls that read this make the trip. It is worth it to reaffirm the notion that most people do not care how you are dressed and will not give you a second thought. I plan on going to Tulsa the first part of January and will definitely make a point of stopping at the casino again on my way up there. Hopefully I won't blow any money that time.
My confidence was exploding after that. I have recently purchased a Speaking as a Woman CD and have been practicing as much as possible, so I decided to go to McDonalds drive through to try it out. Being called Ma'am over the speaker was heavenly. I paid for my food and drove home. That is when I experienced the only letdown of the whole entire day. I had to go to the restroom, so I decided to stop at a Kroger on the way to storage. When I was walking to the restroom, an elderly lady glanced at me and could not stop staring. I had been read. It is something I have grown to expect, but usually the people give a second look followed by a smile or a look of disbelief and then move on. This lady actually stared. It was a very uneasy feeling. I see now why so many ladies feel so awkward when men stare at them. Because of that situation, I made it to the restroom, did my business, and went to storage to change. All in all, it was a wonderful time spent doing what I love.
