Good Things In Life

Cody, Liz and Michelle congrats on everything to each of you. Those are wonderful things to hear. I am so happy for each of you.

Yes Mia and Naomi are beautiful wonderful people and so are all the people here I love all of you here.

I got some good news yesterday at work. Most of the people I work with know about me (the boots I wear on Sunday at work are a give away :lol: ) but I have been bery leary about coming out fully at work because headquarters has always had a very conservative image. Well the other day I found out that in the christian call center (we have 3 call centers in our building, I work in volunteer recruitment) they hired an open trans lady. I asked my program manager Misty (she is in charge of our room) about it and she said yes they did. So then I asked her what I needed to do so that I could transition without getting fired. She told me that she didn't have a problem with it but to get documentation from a doctor that I was transgendered and going through transition and then to pick a dress code and stick with it. Once I bring the documentation in she would work with me to get it all worked out. I have an appointment with my therapist Monday at the VA so maybe it will be this next week that I can really start being me at work. I am so happy and when I told some of the people at work about it they were all like "that is so great" and can't wait to see what happens (they also want to see me fully dressed as me ;):rolleyes::D ).

Well that is all the good news from me right now.

Denise (still on cloud nine about this)

My day started and ended so well and in between was pretty good too.

Early this morning before her morning bike ride, Mia called me and we talked for over an hour - it was great!

I played a concert this afternoon at a retirement home, we had people up and dancing the whole time - I was missing my helper on lead and my helper on the solos, so I had to work a little more but I played great!

A group of us went to a nice steak house and had dinner. (Mine was Chicken Fried so you don't need to ask Evan!)

This evening Donna Jean and I had about an hour and a half phone conversation and I just couldn't be happier!

(Well - I didn't talk to Lizzy, but we might just work that out tomorrow!)

Love ya,

Sally

Thanks yeah it was great news and I am looking forward to being able to be me at work. Although I am a little nervous about seeing my doctor tomorrow because this will be the first time I have talked to her aboutbeing trans and it is up to her whether I get the documentation to take to work. She has worked with me in the past with my depression and ADD so hopefully she will with this too but still nervous. I will let you know how it turns out though.

One other bit of news (actually from last Monday). I got new glasses (because I left my other ones on the bus on Sunday. They are really cute (they had better be at $288) and are definately female glasses.

Absolutely nothing went as planned today and most people would have considered it to be a bad day but I am so happy about who I really am and the moves that I am making in that direction that nothing could bring me down.

I sent a PM to Jacci and reminisced about my trip to Australia a few years back - memories are so sweet even if I made the trip as a bloke rather than a Sheila!

Love and Hugs to all,

Sally

and things are generally going well...

but there are so many big changes all happening at once!

i'm feeling overwhelmed...

Today was really great!

I caught some nice birdlife/wildlife pictures of Jabirus, ducks and egrets over the Fogg Dam wetlands accompanied by a good friend :)

We had a cracker of a storm this evening too, literally raining down thousands of massive cloud-ground lightning bolts in about 60 mintues with thunder a constant crackle n roll, several blackouts through the suburbs and the main Highway.. it's intense up here, love it! :D

Naomi glad things are going good for you and I know how it is to be starting school again and how scary that can be but it will all be fine because you can handle it ;) . Heck I started back last quarter after about 20 years out and that was scary (spring quarter starts on Monday). Just don't let it stress you out to much.

"Just Another Day In Paradise"

When you take a moment to think about it everyday is a good thing.

Today we had a storm come rolling through with a lot off soaking rain and a bit of hail - it started while I was delivering some papers to my lawyer and had several other errands planned that got caled off - so what made it a good day?

I may not have had my camera with me but I did not get struck by lightening, drowned or swept away in a flash flood, the hail was small and didn't damage my car so I sat in the parking lot and watched the rain pouring over my car in waves so thick they seemed to flow like curtains over my windshield with tiny hailstones looking like little polka dots.

It was a good day because I was alive and isn't that amazing and wonderful enough?

I look forward to each day now, why you may ask?

I'll wait while you ask. :rolleyes:

Because everyday when I come to my computer and open up the playground, my real home, I am reminded that I am loved and I can make a difference.

That makes me feel good and glad that I am alive.

Love ya,

Sally

I got a mention in todays paper in a storm chasing article! :D

I SAW THAT MOVIE!

Your part was played by Helen Hunt -

Hey - don't get struck by lightening Jacci. Might damage your camera!

We had a storm through here yesterday - rumbler - not a real lightening storm.. I grew up in Texas near a tornedo alley, so I know what was happening. There were some of those twisters up high moving through but I didn't say anything because I didn't want to panic anyone. We lost power at 2:32 AM - and I had to get up at 6:00AM and dress by kerosene lamp. Luckily I collect them - so our house was the only one that LOOKED like it had power and I know the neighbors were franically calling the power company and complaining where was 'their' power? Power was out entirely through our little town. I had to drive on fumes to the next town to get gasoline to drive my 54 miles to work. But we get tons of rain here - poor place for photography because I actually live in the piney woods, just off the marsh. Good pictures of tree tops if you are into that?

Beautiful birdlife here, and 1000s of frogs! You might think you were home - 'cept where you are looks more picture-sqwee (picturesque). I do get spectacular morning and evening sun displays as I drive between the lakes. I have literally seen a red-white-blue sky, but it was early - 2nd of July (4th of July is our independence day).

And the storms out on the Gulf! Waterspouts sometimes - but you have to be about 50 miles from here in Mississippi. So its fun - and its you - and its wonderful you are in that place you are! And we love you. Keep that camera handy!

OK,

My wife and I went for a day away, to a large city to just goof off. That alone was really nice as I have been working ALOT...

Well, we did some shopping too, and while we were in, I think, Penneys or Macys, she was looking at the clothes and said, "Why don't you find something for me, you always pick out nice things for me."

Really, it made my day. Even though I am a closeted (very closeted) crossdresser, and she really didn't approve of me as a crossdresser, having her say that really made me feel good.

:D

      I'm not sure the time frame.
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Views, terminology, and aspects of how events came to be....aren't those directly related to the news item?  If not, I'm rather confused.
    • Ivy

      Second warning, this has gotten far and apart from the NEWS item that it started out with and is becoming a flat out battleground over political leanings and terminology.

      Welcome to Lefty Land.... a festive theme park full of sparkles and unicorns, a perfect place except for one evil orange dragon wearing a blond wig.    I'm always amazed at the "flexibility" of definitions.  One person's f@scist seems like a centrist to others.  One person's "moderate" looks to others like the 2nd coming of Fidel Castro.  A normal marriage a century or two ago is now a criminal offense, and relationships that used to be a criminal offense are now open, normal marriages.  Pedophiles now want to be called "minor attracted persons" and teenagers are now defined as children.  A Republican in NY or CA would be a Democrat just about anywhere else.  I'm certainly no advocate for relativism, these are just observations.    What I find interesting about this Australian candidate is the attitude that he shouldn't be allowed to run for office.  Why?  Just because his views are different, or even offensive?  Who makes that determination?  Can an election really be open and fair if it is barred to candidates who are not "politically correct?"  Here in the USA, we can openly have candidates who are f@scist or any other thing they want to be, no real restrictions aside from eligibility requirements related to age, location, citizenship, and criminal record.

      @Birdie You certainly have more patience than I do.  I don't take it well if I get scolded.  Either I sulk or I get nippish.    We had a good Mother's Day here yesterday.  Quite an event, since 4 of my partners are mothers.  GF enjoys it a lot, because she's very (excessively?) proud of having produced her 5 kids.  Her eldest starts school this fall.  Amazing how time flies...

      Reminds me of elementary school when a kid yanked my chair as I was taking a seat. I told him to "go suck an egg" and we both got sent to the principals office. I was like, "tf did I do to deserve that?"
    • MaeBe
      Firstly, it's nice to hear that your other half is now open to you living as you are!   Secondly, things I have noticed, having started shots just before the New Year: Tears do come much more easily I am far more tender with my wife and I like to snuggle more I have noticed anxiety has an increased effect on me I am on a weekly injection, so when I get near my next shot I have noticed feeling a little emotionally "blah" After shots I am much more energetic and bubbly Otherwise, I wouldn't say I've been on any kind of roller coaster of emotion and I'm far from unstable. So take heart and congratulations!

      Three reprimands in a certain time frame? It seems like they should drop off the calendar after a period of time. How long can they hold a reprimand on the calendar?   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Congratulations on getting the go ahead with HRT. I'm so ready for my wife to drop her opposition. As for the mood swings... I would look forward to them myself.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
    • Birdie
      Three reprimands and they suspend attendance for a couple weeks. 
    • Mmindy
      Good for the other participant. What's involved in a reprimand? At our age, what are they going to do? Withhold snacks...   @BirdieI'm sorry you have to put up with such discrimination's. I'm proud that you're standing up for yourself.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      You’re so nice! Thank you. ☺️

      Associating LGBTQIA+ with pedophilia or "grooming" is a conspiracy theory as old as the study of psychiatry (mid-19th century) when early "scientists" theorized that homosexuality was caused by childhood trauma of having been molested by older men. Some of us have moved on and become educated since those days, but conspiracy theories have an uncanny staying power...the "power" of ignorance, including the titillation of scandal. There is some psychology about people being attracted to outrage and fear. Life is naturally dynamic and uncertain. Unless you have developed a transcendent mastermind, most people have some level of discomfort with that. Therefore, it is weirdly comforting to target a particular thing as a threat and to make a big fuss about it, whether or not it has any credence. And it is comforting to be one among a mass who are equally outraged about a thing, whether or not the thing is real. It is also boosts the ego to speak with vehement "authority" about a thing that is a known trigger for the masses. Like Vicky said, Dunning-Kruger Effect.   However prominent a movement there is or not of pedophiles claiming that their perversion is a sexuality (I have heard of that, but never as it being a major influence), it is the case that much of the viral spread of disinformation associating LBGTQIA+ with pedophilia is due to online trolls. Surely, there are loads of 'em. But here's just one reported story. https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/posing-gay-men-twitter-troll-goes-viral-attempts-falsely-tie-n954721
