Good Things In Life

I guess there are three kinds of people in the world, those who can count, and those who can't.

I've seen this joke about twelve times in twelve different contexts in the last week. I don't mind at all that you wrote it, I'm just starting to get the strangest deja vu whenever I see or hear it.

I'm happy today because I had a good, long discussion about futures and relationships with a cute boy I've been meaning to get to know better. No, not in that way, he's taken, and I've taken a temporary vow of celibacy. Then we played Magic: The Gathering, which made me feel like I was in the seventh grade again.

Also, I keep experimenting with new recipes lately, and they've all turned out fantastically well. Today I made a chicken jambalaya/Mexican rice hybrid.

Jacci, that photograph is incredible. My computer now has a new desktop background.

Letting the sunshine in,

Lydia

I feel good about the way my week is starting out, for a change.

This month I am participating in the National Novel Editing Month (EdMo, for short) challenge. The goal of EdMo is to complete 50 hours of editing activities on a novel manuscript during the month of March. Half-way through the month (basically) and I am right on target hours-wise. Plus I feel I am farther along with the initial textual editing than I expected to be at this point.

At the same time I am taking an on-line course called the Two Year Novel (2YN), hosted by Forward Motion. This course spreads the entire process, from initial idea to starting the submissions process, out over two consecutive calendar years. With it I am completely caught up through this week's assignment, so I can focus more on character development for the sequel to the EdMo novel. (Both novels explore possible external influences on gender identity formation in children.)

Actually, now that I reflect on it, last night I did something else that sets this up as a good week: I dipped into my own DVD collection and watched a musical romance I totally love: Little Shop of Horrors.

I managed to book a wedding today so I can make my house payment.

I'm closing in on a settlement in my divorce and my lawyer thinks that I am now holding the upper hand, they are making consessions and seem to be in a hurry to settle.

I have had a request to shoot a wedding in Kentucky next year>

Tonight was jazz band and taco dinner night!

Today, life was good.

Love ya,

Sally

My therapist told me last night I am capable of passing as a woman now, and said she thought I should be having a hard time being accepted as male anymore. Think on that for a minute! YIKES

Hi all (big hugs!)

Sorry I didn't really catch up on the thread so I don't know anything much other than that Lizzy is going to have a hard time passing if she tries to pretend she's a guy. :D

But I had a backlog I wanted to get out there since I had been so depressing lately...

First, I got the door held for me and I got called "young lady" (giggle)...

Then, I was in a non-smoking section in this building and I had just quit smoking and these guys came in and stood to wait while palming cigarettes. I gave 'em hell, and the whole time I maintained my composure and just kept (loudly!) pointing out to them that they had the entire back half of the building to smoke, and long story short they kept saying "just turn around lady" "lady just let it drop" and the whole time even though I was being very loud I managed to never resonate in my chest and they never even had a clue. (My voice has been a big hurdle for me.) And finally the security guard (whom I knew) came and made them put their cigarettes out. I got thanked by the lady next to me, who I then proceeded to talk to for like another half hour and I don't think she had a clue either! Yay!!!!

Then, today when I logged in I had some really nice PMs from Mia and Naomi and they touched me...

And finally... I think I've found someone that's going to be very good for me and vice versa; I know in my head that it's still really soon but my heart doesn't know anything about that... :D:lol: I feel un-lonely for the first time in a long time.

Much love to everyone!

Michelle

      Sometimes we are faced with situations where the only response possible is grief.  Things will never be as we want them; people die, we lose things we cherish, we do not obtain what we earnestly desire.  I see some of those situations here; there are tools available to help you through the grieving process.  It's not easy.

      I would be happy to just have 4 disabilities. I take 27 different medications and it does little. I tried working when I got out of the military but couldn't maintain one. I have a lot of mental disorders myself. It would be neat to learn about each other's background. I do understand just wanting to be normal. My job is a stay-at-home parent which is exactly tougher than a regular job especially being a single parent.

      It is 5 posts for PM's from Members, but you can receive and respond to PM's from Moderators or Administrators before then.  This one is post #3 for you.

      Rich as in happy? Far from it. I'm happy about my kids but I shouldn't put all my happiness on them. I take care of myself and do the best I can. I'm happy and content that I have a house and car but nothing that can't be taken away from me like in an instant. I completely lack motivation and don't even want to do my walks anymore. I can't get a membership somewhere because I have kids that are mostly with me. I put myself out there for hoping something to come up and be good, but it's has always been like getting hit in the back of the head.

      Oh I'm wearing a blessed girl t shirt and blue capris. Nothing special today. It was just doing nothing day and feel guilty about it.

      Hi, I don't think I have enough posts to PM yet I don't think (I think it's 5?). I'm poor myself since I can't work, but my parents are luckily helping me get surgery covered by insurance since I am still on their insurance and they have flexible spending each year. I live far away from them, halfway across the country, but I'm glad I have their support.   On the day to day... having a disability sucks. I wish I could just work like everyone else and have a normal life, but my mental disorders prevent me from doing most things.   I'm glad someone else understands at least.

      Very pretty y'all. 4" heels is the max I can handle and not for long period of time. I don't see how women wear 5" and above. I love my feet. I sure don't want to punish them.

      Well just been doing a lot of self reflection and a lot of gender dysphoria that has caused me to break down. The realization has been that I'm a trial period for men and women don't even consider me. It's getting dim. I have put myself out there by force even when I didn't want to. I have one friend but still haven't seen her IRL yet. We talk on Sundays and it's always me that starts it. Another person only talks to me when they want something. It's never been hey how are you doing. It's almost a month to my birthday and it's all just my mom, sister, nephew that are coming. So much for a 40th birthday party. I hate these posts. I want to be optimistic, positive and cheerful but I haven't seen anything go my way. I'm making it by the skin of my teeth. I wished I could just go into a coma for a year or just not wake up.

      Sorry I have been absent a lot but I do read your posts though. 
    • Ashley0616
      @Michelle_S lol it took a year to get that many. It's nice to have a large number but having the thoughts of helping someone far outweigh the number of posts. I have been absent a lot lately. Back at it tomorrow though lol. 
    • Ashley0616
      I understand. I have the opposite problem. I'm really tall, my feet are size 13, I don't have any curves mostly but I do have breasts so at least I got that but I get stared at. I have tried dating to men I'm just a trial period and none of the women want to date me as a trans woman so I'm just stuck being single. I do have one friend and that's it. I'm right there with you about not being able to work. I haven't been able to come up with the money for any surgeries. I have a wealthy dream and disability IRL. If you want I can chat with you. 
    • KayC
      Will do @Michelle_S  sending you a text soon.  My apologies for not being in touch sooner
