I wish I were more self-aware. People tell me caffiene is a stimulant, and I believe them, but I tend to doubt if I could _tell_, double-blind, from the inside, whether an iced-coffee I just drank was decaf or not.
Similarly, I applied my sixth patch today and _should_ have had elevated estrogen levels in my system for a _month_ now, but don't seem noticeably more female-like or otherwise effected in any easily-discernible way. Are there some kind of measurements I should be taking in order to pick up on subtle changes? (Bust size?) I guess I got a little teary a few times in the past week or so, which hasn't been common for me in recent years? (I used to cry a _lot_ when I was younger.)
