Say One Good Thing That Happened Today

Wife made my day.

When I picked her up from work today, while driving to my full time imprisonment job, she lifts up my sunglasses, sees my eyeliner and mascara, and doesn't say a word.

Some time later, after holding my hand and snuggling my shoulder, she tells me I'm not allowed to wear make up anymore.

I'm all "why not?!"

:unsure:

"Because you look better than me."

. . .

OMG!

She's full of . . . it, of course, I could never be as pretty as she is. But wow, I felt sooo good! I mean, she's never really been down with me wearing eyeliner, absolutely against mascara, but I do it anyways. To have her tell me I looked good in it. . . So much relief, and some understanding too.

Just one comment, but Gosh darned, I feel good.

So good! So very goooood!

Went to therapy as usual, and... she said my apparent gender has changed, but my base personality is always going to be what I was. And that personality was always very female. I hadn't thought of it, but she said I could morn my old male self, but the hole I have left when 'he' went away is not as large as I think - and it's obvious I am taking the best part with me, and... filling the hole nicely.

I feel completely unified now that I understand. It's such a GRAND feeling!

That's just the truth of it. Doesn't matter the shell, the appearance, the temporal. The soul is and always will be.

The finite is subject to change, the infinite, the soul, the part of us beyond what we can sense with what we've been given in nature; that never changes.

I've questioned my faith, I've even hated God, but I will never question the quality of the human soul. That's what we are, our entire being. Nothing conquers it, nothing alters it, that's our identity, that's our being, that's our "self."

Funny, how and when things come to us. I never really put it into words before, but that, the soul of each individual, the soul of our self; that's what I believe in over all. No doubt, no resentment, no question; that's something I can always have faith in.

I spent almost the entire day last night (and most of this morning) with my best friend, talking about our combined nerdiness and how our weirdness compliments eachother.

And then, wonder of wonders, my internet decided to work today.

BUT EVEN BETTER THAN THAT.

My girlfriend finally managed to find me a copy of Doctor Zhivago. I about cried I was so happy, I've been looking for that movie since friggin' 9th grade.

Volunteered at Raven's pre-school today. Always a good experience, I love kids. Aedin (my 5 mo old) was so good too, as usual, and Lily got to play with someone other than her sister for a change. Snax we brought were a hit and all in all, it was a good morning.

Hello, Ladies;

Well early this morning when I stopped at the store on my way to work. I saw a lady that I have not seen in over a year. We talked for a few minutes and these are some of her comments.

1. Wow, you have really changed.

2. Your facial skin feels like a womans.

3. You are looking extremely happy and have a glow about you.

After that I explained to her why I am looking different then the last time we had seen each other. She was slightly shocked, but she said that the changes look very good on me.

/Love

Valerie

I'm actually late in saying this, but on tuesday I got a promotion. a week or so ago I was talking to the owner/GM of where I work about benefits. He said unfortunately they can't offer them to non-management. I had been meaning to talk to him about becoming a supervisor for a little bit now, and this was the perfect time. I mentioned that I was interested, and he seemed to think it would be worth looking into. This past saturday (my day off) I got a call from the owner, saying that their closing supervisor wasn't coming in, and would I like to work the shift for him. He then went on to say that that night would be a trial run for me to see how I do as a supervisor. I said sure, and went in. I then came in for my shift on tuesday, and the owner pulled me aside for a minute to talk about how saturday went. He said he, and everyone else was impressed, and starting this coming monday, I'm our newest closing supervisor. Woohoo!

I've just found out that I'll be living with my friends next year.

...Actually that's the result of a bad thing happening. I'm just trying to make the best of it and be happy that I'll get to be with them.

Not today.. so this might be cheating a little bit.. more over the last combined few days.

Anyway.. that good thing:

Finding my true self and not only coming to terms with it, but learning to love it.

Means the world to me.

Overdosed on Daria episodes.

I know it's really not a good thing to stay in bed all morning, but after 5 hours sleep and running too many errands before breakfast, I felt I was entitled to catch up on vegetating. So my babies and I spent the rest of the morning with my Daria collection.

Maybe a not so healthy dose of 90's cynicism. Oh well. ^_^

Made a Gosh darned good pot of coffee too. One cup, over two hours ago, still a little shaky. Yah, whoa.

      Maybe surface tension?   I was in a political debate yesterday and it got way too focused on social stuff and I just had to steer the conversation back to how natural gas transitions to a liquid under pressure.  One of the people I was debating had a career working in that field and it was a good opportunity to expose stuff like that.  He mentioned that it isn't just pressure, it is temperature too.  So then I mentioned how the lines are running underground and asked how that played a role in it.  He came back saying that natural gas is a liquid under pressure.  I guess I didn't get a straight answer on that, but it did move my thinking one step down the road.  Perhaps I should have been more direct with him and asked him at what temperature and pressure.  Is there a chart?   I feel people would be better off if they paid more attention to the objects in their environment instead of focusing on some of the things that we hear so much of in the news.  People are pretty clueless as to how much trigonometry plays a role in so many things in our society.  Even land surveyors don't really use it anymore because programmers locked it away in a function.  Much like how cascading style sheets (CSS) is a wrapper for math.  I wonder what former president Trump thinks about all of that?  He must have some knowledge of how his buildings are constructed, right?  There certainly is a part of me that thinks he is just putting on a show about all of this.  Perhaps I'm wrong though.  All kinds of people in the world.

      Hello Jennifer and welcome back.  I find New England to be a great place to live.  I have a number of acquaintances and friends in Maine and I love the state.  It seems you are doing well.     Hugs,  Jani

      Oh, my "maybe this person is an egg" story is the (male presenting) piercing person and I discussed body hair removal methods, he says he doesn't want any hair except on his head, which is what I said during a couple hair removal sessions before and just after the egg cracked.

      I, too, am lucky.  Here in the UK I have a great therapist, a fully supportive GP, and a psychiatrist and endo who look after me and my needs.  I found the therapist on Psychology Today.

      Over the last few years of being on this site and going through medical transition, I've come to own the M->F identification.  Funny, I made a typo of M->T.  It is a curiosity if I'll ever put Gender: Female on this site.  It is my intention to be there someday.   Right now, because of career stuff and a high stress event with an electric hair clipper last fall, I'm feeling much more masculine than I would like.  I think that once I make some decent headway with my third career, I'll settle into a more feminine feeling.   I never really considered gender very much.  I certainly always used a feminine appearance as my presentation goal. I think that when I was young, I briefly had the idea of transitioning, but I convinced myself quickly that medical transition would be a bad outcome, so I put all those feelings and ideas in the closet for decades.  I'm still very apprehensive about medical transition.  I've always taken health to be a high priority for me.  I wrote a book last December about my fears of it all and my conclusion ultimately is that sometimes there is more to life than being a pillar of health.  It's important to take some chances if that is where your heart takes you.

      Good morning and congratulations @MirandaBon getting your ears pierced. This opens up a new line of jewelry to buy and collect.    @KymmieLits ashamed that any employee would ever to post a sign like this.    Well Parker Von Schwinegruber not only got me up early, we enjoyed our first cup of coffee on the patio before the sun was up. Oh it was daylight but just barely. The second cup of coffee was in the recliner, and now I’m pinned here and need someone to pour my third cup.    It’s a dog’s life… Eat, play, go potty and sleep. Repeat to infinity ♾️    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Thanks so much @Vidanjali,@Ivy, and @DonkeySocks She's stable now and going home Monday after tests and some observation time. So that's a positive relief.

      Trump-linked dark-money group spent $90m on racist and transphobic ads in 2022, records show. Citizens for Sanity was one of top political spenders last election cycle and is back for 2024 with more extreme messaging, https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/17/trump-citizens-sanity-election-ads
