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.

      I need to be my nest, but its freezing in here!  And GF is all curled up...she's gonna have to un-curl herself, because I'm gonna shiver to death without snuggles

      "A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the fool's back.  Do not answer a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him."    Proverbs 26:4-5.....  possibly the first advice about spending time online

      Not of people usually, but places have a "color sense" to me.  Not exactly visual, but like a feeling.  Almost a taste or sometimes tactile.    My home, and the temple of my faith community both have a strong feeling of "silver."  A tasteable, nearly tactile radiance...it means safety, and I seek it out.  It kind of transfers to people associated with those places, like my husband.  I knew he was good the moment I met him.  Some places have a color sense like fire, a combination of red and orange.  As you might expect, it is an exciting or dangerous feeling.  Attractive in a way.  Part of me is drawn toward it, another part of me is skittish of it.  Other places have a blue/green color sense, which can be iridescent toward purple-ish.  Its peaceful and calm.    What I really don't like is a sickly, greenish-gray color.  I can't even describe it fully.  The sense is slimy, slick, cold and revolting.  To me, it is a feeling of intense danger about a place or a person.  I'm usually more oblivious to the other color senses, but this one grabs my attention.  To me, it is associated with pure evil.    One of my strongest impressions of the evil color it happened at a natural spring in a state park near where I live.  I was walking around with a friend and I felt it, and she thought I was totally crazy.  I wanted to leave so bad, just terrified.  Thankfully she followed me out.  I only found out later that a murderer had escaped from prison and was recaptured there...he had been living near the spring, and we were maybe within 200 yards of him.  My color sense probably saved our lives.

      Not exactly.  Me alone - I'm helpless and can hardly do anything.  But with my partners I'm protected and supported, and a lot more things are possible for me.    My husband teaches a lesson to his kids when they fight, I've seen him do this a couple of times.  He'll hand them a bundle of sticks tied together, and tell the kids to try to break it.  Of course, it doesn't work.  Then he takes the bundle apart, and tells them to break the sticks one by one.  One person alone is easily overwhelmed or broken.  Two or more people together can stand firm against adversity.

      When I joined it was purely a play on Maybe. Mae happens to have a couple letters in common with my given name and I started using it when introducing myself to strangers. Since then, actually yesterday, when I caught up with an old friend and told her about my transition she thought she heard "Maeve" when I said "Mae". I could still use Mae as a nickname, it works well with my mother's name as a middle name (she died in 2019 and I love the idea of connecting with her memory more), and my initials wouldn't change if I change my name. So, Maeve it will likely be unless something better comes along. ;)

      I've not had a lot of involuntary action in that department and I'm 6mo in. After 3mo. my T was under 30. My doc wanted labs mid-cycle (3-4 days after my shot) oddly, but I am going to insist on getting trough numbers to determine if T is pushing back when serum E is low. I almost felt like I was going to have MW yesterday morning when I woke up (day of my shot), so I get where your thoughts are on the subject. It would be good to know how long that suppression lasts, not that T&E levels are complete indicators--my doctor doesn't seem to have any plans to check for the broader spectrum of metrics I see a lot on forums like SHBG, etc.

      Take two   blood letting is complete it took two of them pesky little mosquitoes.   our dog came to us mostly potty trained. She had a few “I can’t wait” moments but for the most part she was good.  She learned to ask th be let out. We had a bell on the door and taught her to ring the bell.  Then she learned how to open the door herself.  As long as it wasn’t locked out she’d go.  We had her trained to a hidden fence and collar she would go to the limit and sit and wait for us to tell her it was ok. She has always responded to verbal commands or my whistles.   Oh and there are obvious negatives about a dog knowing how to open doors.  She would disappear and we’d suddenly see her out the window.  Or we’ would let her out and suddenly realize she was sitting with us.  She never learned to close the doors, only open then.
