August…

…and I’m well past the three-month mark of wearing sandals full-time. I’m loving it… they’re so comfortable! And I’m happy to have Wifey’s support – both in making sure I have to wear them, and also following my tech’s “keep those painted toes in sandals” recommendation.

She and the tech are both fine with white as the color on my toes – girls are wearing it a lot this summer, as we’ve seen at stores here, and on models in many of the female fashion catalogs used for buying me clothes. But the tech has already hinted that she’d prefer to see me wearing 20 matching red nails this winter, including some pretty holiday nail art for November and December. We’ll see if that flies when the time comes…my guess is that they’ll either remain white, or go back to black!

I’ve spent the entire summer (thus far) in outfits like the following:

And I don’t see any imminent changes. My leggings haven’t seen the light of day more than a few tines since we’ve moved. Capri outfits like this (or womens’ shorts), along with pink fingernails, white toenails, and my usual purse and long hair are improving the number of times I’m recognized as female, or at least eliminating the term “Sir” from everyone’s vocabulary when they address me. The next step would be to wear dresses every day, everywhere we go. I certainly wouldn’t complain, but that isn’t likely to happen – at least not any time soon!

And as stated previously and proved by the above, I’ve figured out how to put pictures back in my posts… The workaround is a bit cumbersome, but above is the result, second one done this way.

So hang in there, I’m still around!

Hugs,

Mandy
