Who had that on their list of potential dangers? I sure didn't!
So here is the story, intertwined with a bit of a going out story too, just for good measure.
To set the stage, this morning I woke up in girl mode as I have been for the last 6 weeks. I have shared elsewhere how I am basically living 24/7 as a woman, more accurately, dressing as a woman. This includes sleeping with my forms in my bra, even sometimes glued on, with long hair installed with glue so it doesn't just come off, and I even most nights go to bed with my makeup on to not have to see the "guy" in the mirror in the morning. I clean it off and re-apply it in the morning during my morning routine.
I have been staying inside because none of our neighbors knows anything about me being transgender, and I would rather they do not find out right now.
So this morning I woke up and really felt like going for a walk/hike. The house borders a powerline easement right behind us, and we have dense forest on the property itself. The neighbors on both sides have one or more family members at home all day, but the trees and the layout mostly prevents them from seeing clearly what is going on in the backyard.
So, I took the chance, dressed up in some workout attire, 3/4 leggings with a dark burgundy pattern, a long'ish gray sleeveless top with a deep V-cut front, white trainers.
Bra, Forms, Hip and Butt padding, accentuated by the tight leggings. My long straight dirty blonde hair split in to a mid ponytail and the rest hanging loose down over my shoulders.
Did my makeup incl lashes, put on a white ball cap and pulled the ponytail out through opening in the back, a look I really like on women, grabbed my phone and a set of wired earbuds.
All this getting dressed story becomes important in a minute, so hang tigth.
I left the house through the backyard and started my walk. It is a nice green area back there, very wide with tall trees lining the edges and the neighborhood properties visible through the woods. Many of the homes have decks and windows facing the easement.
It was a beautiful day today, sun shining and at 9am the temperature was manageable. This is Georgie, so the days get hot and humid, but today was nice.
I walked/hiked about 2 miles out to the main road and back, crossing the neighborhood road several times, and even walking along the road for a stretch. Lots of cars coming and going. I really enjoyed just being out of the house for a little bit.
I even had a lovely moment with a Whitetail Doe that came out into the clearing and stood there for a moment, looking at me. I got a few nice pictures and really enjoyed the little moment with nature.
So here it comes:
When I got back, I heard a beeping sound out front, sounded like a truck backing up, but too consistent. I looked out but didn't see anything and thought it odd.
I started making my coffee and kept wondering about the beeping.
Finally got curious enough to open the front door a little and now I could hear it was coming from our RV sitting in the driveway! Hmmmm ... it sounded like an alarm from inside the RV! Not good at all!
I am standing there in the door, in full on girl mode, with hair that is glued on and cannot quickly be removed, I cant really put a big hat on in May in Georgia in 70F weather. I know that there are people at home in both the immediate neighboring houses. We are at the end of a cul-de-sac so the front door and driveway is fully visible from the next 4-6 houses down the road on both sides too, I know there are people at home in several. Most of these people have known me for years, and they know my wife.
Well, alarm is going off so I have to act. I get my keys and enter through the drivers door, climb in and sure enough, it is the fire alarm! I get into the back of the RV and there is smoke and the smell of electric fire! Definitely not good!
I see no fire and the smoke is minimal and not pouring out from anywhere, just hanging in the air. There is some soot particles on the counter top and the floor. What the He.. is going on here?
I turn off all electrical circuits, jump out and disconnect the shore power cable from the house. Back inside and get the alarms silenced, and get some windows opened.
I check a few obvious things but nothing reveals what the issue might be.
At this point I realize that I need to do some more serious trouble shooting, and I am in real danger of being totally outed if I continue this in girl mode.
So I leave the RV and walk back to the house, again in full view with my girly outfit and my long flowing hair for all to see.
Back in the house I do an emergency gender presentation change, the fastest I have done in years, take a shower to get most of the glue off my head, and get in to some guy clothes. I get back out there, now with little glue gummy stickies all over me!
So after some trouble shooting, I finally open the microwave door, just to find it totally black and sooty inside! The glass tray is cracked in several pieces and the bacon frying tray on top of it is kinda' melted. Never seen anything like it.
So clearly there was a fire inside the microwave oven! The RV has been parked since Friday evening, today is Monday, I have not cooked anything in the microwave the last couple of months, and there is no reason why it should have turned on by itself ... but apparently it did!
This likely happened overnight or early morning, and while it is a shame about the oven being destroyed, the potential catastrophe that could have unfolded is almost unimaginable. RV on fire, house catching on fire, and so on.
I could have been woken up by the fire fighters and/or the neighbors, all in my girly'est, and would have just had to face the consequences of all that.
None of that happened fortunately, but I did have to run around outside in the driveway, unmistakably dressed as a woman with long hair, makeup, girly clothes, the works, to be seen by anybody paying attention. I know one neighbor works from home and has his office basically facing our driveway, so it is highly likely that he saw me. He usually dont miss much.
We'll see if anything is said over the next few days.
Oh well, you heard from Helen earlier that she got outed by a Memory stick / Flashdrive. but now you know that this devious act can also be performed by an innocent Microwave Oven.
Don't trust your appliances, they cannot keep a secret!
Other than that, it has been a lovely day here!
