....until my surgery........

It's becoming VERY surreal to me now.........

I just confirmed our Hotel room at the Marriott in Miami.....

And we've bought panty liners, feminine pads, Surgilube, stents (dilators.....did ya know that they come in colors?), wipes, anti bacterial soaps, half a dozen new night gowns (snap front type...) crossword puzzle books......and lots of other cool stuff...

We'll rent a car to drive there so we can carry all of our stuff....

Am I scared?

Well, once on a mission in Viet Nam, the pilot asked me if I was scared....

I said "Naw"......

He said "Only a dang fool wouldn't be scared out here!"

So, yeah, I kinda feel an apprehension...

But, We're ready!

You better be stopping at my house on the way down for a drink, or maybe dinner. Mojo misses you very much.

plus, please send me the hotel info so I can make plans to get down there and see you. it's an hour drive so I can come a few times.

Hi Dee Jay,

You know how it is driving in Florida, every mile on a perfectly straight highway, a sign will read, Miami 350 miles, Miami 349 miles, Miami 348 miles and that will seem like it takes 38 days to get there. I think you should get rid of your clocks and concentrate on taking care of yourself.

Be careful and don't forget to get plenty of rest before you go.

Love to you both.

Dreams do come true when you make them. You worked long and hard and kept your dreams alive even when it got dark and stormy.

I am so happy for you both. I know what it means to you and what it took to get here.

Bet there'll be a ladybug somewhere in that car!

:D

Love

I would not say that they are counting the minutes but our living room wall is now a giant calendar with each day having a block for hours, within that block are minutes and within that block are the seconds - I drew the line at nano seconds!

At first it was fun but after a while watching two women standing facing a wall and making a mark every second can actually become tedious.

They are actually handling all of this pretty well - I'll let you know what happens when it gets down to under 6 days, 5 hours, 38 minutes and 17 seconds.

Just for fun I might reset the calendar!

Love ya,

Sally

It was when I purchased my feminine hygiene poducts that this became real to me.

You have to buy your own dilators? Huh.

All I can say with 11 days remaining is find distractions where you can. This waiting occupies the mind something fierce...

With all that time on your hands, you have a bathroom, sink, and tub to clean, and a front room carpet and two chairs that need shampooing!! Its something to fill in that time and keep your from worrying. Oh yeah, the turkey roaster that has been sitting in the oven since Christmas could use a hauling out too!! :P

Lizzy read this and decided that something needed to be done about our couch and chair - they are both leather so she is heading to Texas to get a fresh supply of cowhide - direct from the source.

Love ya,

Sally

      It never rains but it pours.  We had a dry spring, but now my garden is a swamp and my yard is a pond.  Get off the gravel road, and you'd need a hovercraft.    With nothing better to do, I'm going on a short trip with my husband tomorrow.  Since he's in management he usually doesn't do this sort of work, but whenever he does I usually go along.  And he already knows not to try staying in a hotel, because I want to sleep in the bunk in the truck.  So much more cozy.    And for a couple of days, GF can actually take care of her own kids instead of leaving them to me....

      I have played clarinet, but without talent.  And while I *can* sing, I think listening to it would be an acquired taste.
    • Ladypcnj
      Hi Sally, okay I'll head on over to your post and check out your makeup techniques.
    • Sally Stone
      Hey all,   It's been a while, but I blogged a whole series on makeup.  It's an eight-part series where I talk about my techniques.   Here is the link to Part 1:       Hopefully the blog series is helpful.

      Oh, I can relate to that one Vicky, leaving lipstick in hot weather  I've lost count how many times I had to purchase new purses. 
    • Ladypcnj
      Thanks for the replies, as an admin from my own group I understand the same rules, agreed. 
    • MaryEllen
      Any links posted would have to meet this criteria  All content posted or shared through TransPulse services must be appropriate for minors. We welcome members aged 13 to 18. As such, adult or pornographic content, nudity, underwear images, violence, gore, and other content not suitable for minors may not be posted anywhere to this service.

      I do spoken word acting, and give Trans 101 talks and other public speaking.  I wear make-up for those occasions.  Sephora is easy for me to get to, and has a foundation that does a good job for me and the sales folks there are Trans Friendly.  Their eye shadow pallets are also fun to use. Another source of my foundation is Ulta which carries Dermablend that does a consistent job of my lower face and chin.   I just use good old Revlon lipsticks because I ruin them by leaving my purse in the hot car too often.

      I'm not interested in makeup, jewelry or nice clothes or girly stuff.  It's made me wonder at times.   It saves some money.  If I wore a skirt it would likely  be denim.  I thought about a woman's skirt suit but nah.   Neither of my sisters are into that stuff either.  One likes peasant chic (still a 60s flower girl)  and the other - the only time she has ever worn a dress was at her wedding.  Jeans at all other times.   Jeans and t shirt here.  Content being a girl.  Weirdo. Weirda? Never mind.

      Thanks, Mindy.

      @Ladypcnj Before posting links to other group's websites, PM one of the Staff (preferably an Admin) and have them check that site out.   We have specific rules here regarding age appropriateness and would need to know that the other site is in line with those rules.  We do have members here between 13 and 18 and other sites need to be safe for that age range, legally and otherwise.  Also, we are not a dating or pick-up site, not do we allow people selling things to advertise here.  As I said clear the link with a moderator or admin before posting it.  Mod's and admins do check out posts and if we find problem links we will remove them and notify the OP of a rules violation.  Go to https://www.transgenderpulse.com/community-rules to understand where we are.

      I raise my hand in the group, I have a question and a suggestion... is it allowed to share other new lgbtq+ website links here? 
    • Ladypcnj
      Yeah, ELF is a good brand, another brand is Revlon ColorStay last 24 hours.
