There are good things.

I just got back from my fifth laser session and I really like the new person who took over after my former tech left the salon. She was fun to talk with, and I suspect she's some flavor of queer. She also said that staff are hoping the owners will shut down the salon on the day of pride parade so they can all march in it!

She also was maybe more thorough with the laser? Maybe spacing the zaps closer together, or going over the same section more than once if needed? She'd do some zaps, then check on the area visually, and then possibly do more zaps. My face is the reddest it's been after a session, and I'm completely in favor. Yes please, zap the s*** out of those hairs!

I got up and she said my makeup was running (probably from tears) and offered me a tissue. I took it and she said "I got you," and it felt really validating. It made my day.

One good thing about today: I was able to drive to the condo without having a panic attack. Last time, even though I drove a different route to avoid the place I saw all the emergency vehicles driving by me on the day of, I still had a panic attack and had to ask Miriam to take over.

A second good thing about today: I was dressed fem on Miriam and my trip to Costco today. I think one couple might have been looking at me and talking about me in another language, but I did the thing! The fact that my facial hair seems less noticeable in general even after just one laser session makes a difference.

Though I'm actually afraid, because some of the hair looks so much lighter than before, that laser damaged the follicles in a way that makes the hair lack pigment, and now laser won't work on it. I guess I'll just have to see how it goes.
