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 am starting to present in a more androgynous manner, then little by little move to a more feminine look

and things are generally going well...

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

i'm feeling overwhelmed...

but good things are happening :)

but so much at once :(

but good things :)

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

      Do I ever feel? There isn't a single minute that goes by that I feel that way. I have such a strong hate for what I have that there isn't a word out there for it.
    • Ladypcnj
      Are members allowed to edit or delete their post? I can't delete or remove my post if there are misspelled words.

      I already tried that. Either too old like 60's and 70's or married. Not many people who would want to date a trans woman in dead red Mississippi. Maybe once things calm down just get a Mustang GT and just give up on it. Both are going to bring joy and pain. At least I could learn and share my love of cars with my kids when they get that old. I wouldn't even know what to do if someone said they wanted me. I would've already been thinking in my mind they are just going to ghost me so what's the point. I just don't know what to do anymore. I tried putting myself out there online and out in person. I haven't tried a bar yet although that's probably a bad idea. Maybe just to experience it again. I haven't been to one since 2013. The only problem I see is I'm not a night owl for sure. I go to bed at 8-830. My expectations were just that I wouldn't get rejected last. I have been able to handle a good bit of it but this one really hurt. I guess that's what happens when you have some hopes and expectations. It's not like I have another friend IRL to talk about this. She is my only one. I wished I didn't put myself out there.

      As one who had to deal with the Porn/Adult Entertainment business as commercial, taxpaying businesses on a professional level, I can say that they are in it for money and the highest percentage of their income comes from ultra conservative areas where adequate Medical and Mental Health Profession and University Science instruction on Trans issues are banned.    It makes me wonder how much porn literature is hidden behind the 13 Bibles and Bible Study guides on some people's family bookshelves.

      Do you ever feel trapped in a body that doesn't feel like yours?

      There's the old thing of getting out and getting involved in things in the community and meeting people that way. Does your church have a food pantry? Does it have service opportunities you could plug into otherwise? You might run into someone that way. 
    • Ashley0616
      Well that didn't go well. She said she is intentionally single. When will I just stop thinking about putting myself out there. It really hurt but rejection and getting ghosted is just my second language apparently. The one person I have told all my dark secrets and didn't run off. At least we are friends. I'm happy only when I'm sleeping and that is it because things actually go my way from time to time. Just another wonderful day of me. SMDH!
    • Abigail Genevieve
      In their minds, yes, unless it is clearly, consistently, forcefully articulated by those who represent trans people that we are not.  I'm not sure who that would be.
    • Ivy
      So, this proves that we're all  pedophiles? I suspect that the majority of pedophiles are probably cis.   Yeah, Alexander the Great was probably queer.  What does this have to do with me needing to pee?   I am so tired of this ___.  I raised 8 kids and never molested any of them - unless you count changing diapers without closing my eyes.  Yeah… so tired.   It makes me wonder what is actually on these people's minds.
