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

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

      Good morning    Work day today, no pool time, and no dress.  Just a uniform top and slacks.   Thank you for asking about my wife, @Ashley0616 , she is improving all the time and getting anxious to be rid of the med vac.  She keeps telling people a couple mor weeks be even with the speed at which she is recovering, I think that is more wishful than reality.   i received both compliments about my dress as well as my ability to speak before the congregation.  My little frog was right there with me but then he is a permanent resident in my voice.  Some days worse than others and I never know until I start speaking.  Maybe I need a frog exorcism.  Oh our church doesn’t do that.  Shucks.   well the humidity is coming back today along with possible rain and warmer weather.   I guess a lot of you are getting hit with smoke from Canada again this year. I recall last year you could see and smell it here.  It a shame to loose so many trees when we need them for climate control.  I was surprised to learn the South Carolina was the largest producer of wood in the states. We have a great deal of wet and swamp land that the plant and harvest and plant again.  While some makes it to the mills to become construction material, mose goes to one of several paper mills.  Those trees are clear cut and trucked to the mills to be cleaned mulched and processed along with recycled paper.the closest mill to here makes brown board which become packaging material like corrugated cardboard.   i guess we have rather ideal conditions for southern pine tree growing.  That along with cotton, rice indigo, tobacco and cash food crops fruits and vegitables and pecans, can’t forget the nuts.  You can take that more than one way and be right.   enjoy you day whether at work or at play.   Willow

      Have you set any summer plans yet?

      I wasn't really aware of an emotional roller coaster possiblity when I started.    A few days in I realized i had been living with some tension that I was able to ignore until it went away. One morning it was just 'why I do I feel better than usual'?   So I googled around and found that it was possible to have such a result, I was thinking it would just take time for physical effects to work on my emotions.   Some talk about finally being able to cry, I have always been an excellent crier, so on HRT I cry REALLY hard.   But laughing was never really that easy for me, and now I laugh out loud way more often. Love that part of the roller coaster.

      Satisfaction Satisfaction. The feeling when something meets or exceeds your expectation. You feel satisfaction when you expected to get something, and then got it.

      Well, for me, on day one is was like, wow, I feel more relaxed.  Then every day after that was more of the same.  YMMV.

      Groupings are easy for news material.  And in many nations, we live in a society that doesn't read in-depth.  There are always a few members of any group that can give it a bad name.  Pedophile priests undermined trust in the Catholic Church.  NAMBLA taints the reputation of LGBTQ+ folks....although since this thread is about Australia, I'm not sure it is very relevant.    Is it ignorance?  Perhaps.  But I think what is often labeled as ignorance is really just a different interpretation of the same facts, and different weight placed on portions of the evidence.  We also live in a time when satire and criticism aren't particularly acceptable or understood by all.   https://nypost.com/2023/06/24/drag-marchers-spark-outrage-with-chant-at-nyc-pride-event-were-here-were-queer-and-were-coming-for-your-children/   ^^^ This was meant sort of tongue-in-cheek, but wasn't helpful.    Like it or not, to many people this is "confirmation" of beliefs, not humor.  And in an era where language is changing and people often get confrontational and angry about minor aspects of language, it seems absurd to believe that there wouldn't be some sort of backlash over trying to label pedophiles as "Minor Attracted Persons."    While I don't agree with the idea that "LGBTQ = pedophile" I can understand how folks might think that was the case.

      Hello @FelixThePickleMan!  I second this breaking the cycle idea.  And the idea of getting some help to do it.  I was pushed into a treatment program in high school for marijuana addiction and because I went into it with an open mind, I was able to break the cycle by latching onto some of the literature.  It didn't keep me sober for the rest of my life, but helped a ton and was the only time I went through treatment.   I found marijuana to be fun and productive when practicing music.  At least for a while.  I can't imagine my life without the influence of it, but it would have been better to give it up a little sooner.  Drinking in the military was terrible for me, but it was good to be off of the marijuana during that time.  I didn't start drinking until I was about a year into the military.  I was trying really hard to avoid that, but there are a lot of people drinking in the military.  Be careful and love yourself!  Enjoy the journey too.   Smoking is bad for the lungs and will constrict your arteries as you get older.  It's best to put some limits on these things!  It's hard work, but worth the effort!  I found myself avoiding recovery meetings and doing recovery on my own for decades only to find myself going to meetings to enjoy being with others when I was older.  LOL!  Silly humans....   Hugs, Lydia

      Starting HRT this week (the estradiol patches were out of stock at my pharmacy last week). It's obviously a big first step in my transition and one that has been long delayed by my initially unaccepting wife (who now has dropped her opposition). My biggest initial apprehension is the much talked about emotional roller coaster in the next few months. Something that my endocrinologist also mentioned as a possibility (probability??). How troublesome will it likely be? Will this be me soon:

      I am not going to laugh at this one although I want to.  We have had some school districts here in California try the same shenanigan against our state laws. (Same result as in this case, State law supervenes local law.    I have an idea though, put skates on the county honcho and make him race against all the women in the organization doing the suing there.  I think most of the Cis women would beat the liver out of him, now what is fair?

      https://www.wbtw.com/news/grand-strand/horry-county/lgbtq-community-reacts-to-sc-approval-banning-gender-affirming-care-for-transgender-minors/     If not struck down by the courts this bill will hurt trans kids.  And that bit about "don't worry, you can transition when you're an adult?"  Don't believe that for a minute; come next session, adult trans health care will be targeted.   Carolyn Marie
