Me time /More Acceptance
March 14th 2020
Although all my everyday clothes are now female, I have on occasions dressed androgynously, which is not hard as so many items these days, from shoes to trousers to tops, are unisex.
Recently my wife had invited one of her sister's to visit and stay for several day's. She was not sure when her sister would be arriving at our home. I was in my bedroom polishing my toe and fingernails a nice light pink color.I was almost done with one foot when I heard her sister knock on the front door. Now, despite her sister's knowledge that I present and project myself as a woman 24/7... I always still get apprehensive. I wonder if she's going to react negatively. I immediately felt a pang of regret and wondered if I could hide the "evidence." I immediately realized that would be futile because my toes were still wet and because the smell of polish is so pungent and unmistakable. So I walked very carefully from my bedroom to the front door and opened it and let her walk in as I walked towards the couch in the living room and sat down...
As she walked in. We made small talk for a bit and she wasn't even mentioning what I was doing. I feared she was just going to ignore the so called elephant in the room, but as she was talking to me, she said "you're doing them pink? They look nice." And that was that.
That simple comment made me feel very good!!!
Later my wife returned home and mentioned how she liked the color of polish I selected for both my toenails and fingernails.. Her sister mentioned that maybe the three of us one day soon could go have a pedicure from a salon... My wife then made a comment about how I'd have to do her toes for her soon. It was a passing comment and nothing further was said about it.
Two days ago, she mentioned that I'd have to do her toes. I had made up my mind when she told me, that I would I would do her toes the first chance I got. I couldn't do it that night when her sister came to visit, nor could I do while she was visiting... She did say last night "I took the polish off my toes today, but you're going to have to cut them just polish them tomorrow. I'm not going to ask, you're just going to do it." It was said in her happy, matter of fact, normal, voice. I do feel like she IS understanding how our relationship has changed over the years, the power, our roles, and what makes us both happy.
I finally did her toes on this past Friday night. Just completely causal, both of us on the bed, her watching tv, while I worked on making them nice. They came out okay. Not as good as I hoped. The polish actually looked nice, but what I have not mastered yet is all of the other work that needs to be done to the toes to get them looking ready for the polish. I did cut the nails in an effort to make them nice and round and smooth, but they were different lengths. One pinkie toe nail was much smaller than the other one. The other thing I didn't do well was pay attention to the cuticles. I didn't remove any, lotion it or anything else. So while the polish looked nice, with no smudges or missteps, the toes could have been better.
But, she did mentioned many times on Friday that she was very happy with her toes and was happy whenever she saw them. So that was great!!!
