Good morning All. Coffees on.

Hey everyone! It's been a a cool rainy day here in London, Ontario. I went to my meeting this morning with my Xtralarge Tim Hortons coffee and after the meeting we had a business meeting. I disclosed to the group (there were about 14 members present) that I am transgender and will be medically transitioning MtoF. I received many smiles (not the derisive type), several hugs and one congratulations! Acceptance from everyone, as I had hoped and expected of fellow AA members. Then I went shopping and bought some furniture for my new apartment. All is going well... I will be busier than a one armed paper hanger on the 10th as I will be getting things delivered. Wish me luck! Wish me sanity! LOL

Good morning all, Just finished my coffee and breakfast. My favourite is at lunch when I do a big jug of filter. I change my brand each time and have had lots of different types. I prefer Kenyan or Ethiopian the most but drink coffee's from all over the world. I prefer fresh ground, but only having my hand grinder, I don't make it often. I just noticed, at the weekend,  how cheap electric grinders are these day though so may invest :D

 

Have a lovely day!

Happy hump day, java drinkers!  I'm drinking leftover coffee from yesterday so I was denied both the fragrance and freshness of freshly brewed coffee.  Also microwaved coffee doesn't maintain temperature as well as freshly brewed.  However, reheated coffee does provide the kick-start for the day and practicing economy isn't a bad thing is it?

 

The electric grinder sits next to the toaster on the counter, unused and unloved.  It's hard to beat the convenience and tidiness of coffee ground for you.  For some reason transferring the ground coffee from the grinder to the filter almost always proves a messy operation for me.  I also don't seem to have the knack of getting the grind just right.  I've even tried timing it, but without success.  

 

I love the silence of the morning.  Some people wake to a radio alarm or turn on the television first thing.  I relish the quiet.  Oops, my microwaved coffee has gone cold.  I must face the dreaded noise of the microwave.  So much for silence.

 

Have a great day!

Another beautiful day. I woke up this morning and that's a great start to the day! Coffee is brewing then it's off to the mall to meet a friend for more coffee. Then home and laundry and more coffee. Then I might mow the lawn. Then I'll sit down and relax and have a coffee. An hour or so later I'll eat then off to meet some folks for coffee and conversation. Then home to watch some TV shows and sip some more coffee. Around 2 in the morning I'll be sitting in the living room wondering why I can't sleep! LOL

I stayed up too late last night watching silly YouTube videos, but I'm feeling surprisingly awake and refreshed. Perhaps the time spent relaxed me in a way that I needed.

Finished my espresso at home, drove to work and am now drinking my morning work coffee (filter brewed - black no sugar). I'm looking forward to this afternoon and evening as I have an appointment with my hair stylist and am visiting a friend who's recovering from surgery. I'm also really liking my outfit today, so that adds some pep to my step as well!

Have a great Wednesday everyone!

Morning!

 

I usually stay up till 2-3 am most nights so I’m just waking up. Do drink lots of caffeine (probably too much haha) but it usually takes the form of Red Bull or those Italian Soda energy drink things you can get at the coffee stand mmm. Anyways hope everyone has a nice day I should probably get out of bed and start mine! ^-^

Exactly why after 10:00pm I drink decaf. Coffee abstinence is too hard!

Hi everyone.

 

I usually drink coffee from Arabica beans. They are naturally more decaff and I find the coffee generally tastes better too.

Good morning, all.  I'm already on my second cup of the Italian Blend, the last of it.  Tomorrow I begin the next bag, a Breakfast Blend.  The coffee has taken on the role of a warming agent today.  After t-shirt and shorts weather yesterday, overnight the temperature plummeted and a sweatshirt and jeans with a jacket are more appropriate clothing weather-wise.

 

 I still haven't decided on the plan of action for the day.  I'm still at sixes and sevens regarding how to manage time since retirement.  I'm sort of drowning in freedom with the end result that at the end of the day I will have spent far too much thinking about what I should do next instead of actually doing it, and spending far too much time staring a computer screen trying to thinking of interesting things to write.  

 

Enough of this, have a terrific day!

 

All the best,

Good afternoon. I'm doing some laundry today and am enjoying my 3rd cuppa... Life is good as I get everything in order before going to pick up the keys to my new place tomorrow. I'll start moving things over through the weekend and hope to be all moved in by Wednesday night. Thursday should be my official Julie day... No more presenting as male after Wednesday. I'll try to keep you updated. If you are spiritual, please remember me in your thoughts and prayers.

Morning, it’s too cold to get out of bed to make coffee. I think I’m just gonna stay in bed until the heater magically decides to turn itself on and I can get up.

A very early morning this time. I'm at work where I will be all night. Same for tomorrow night. What a way to spend my birthday. Oh well. That means lots of coffee! Also scary movies!?? Nice job being able  to watch movies at work.

 

Have a good day,

Good morning ?

Just dropped my wife off at physio (broken shoulder and arm from slip and fall last December). After she's done I'm off to pick up the keys for my new apartment. Then, if they let me, I'll spend the rest of the day shuttling back and forth with my stuff. Furniture comes on Wednesday. Going into my last weekend and upcoming family event as a male - although I feel I am Julie in disguise - this is our Thanksgiving weekend in Canada and I am really thankful for finally getting to this point in my life. I wish you all the best for your weekend and Happy Thanksgiving! ?

Kymmie, being rich isn't always measured in dollars!  I would say you are doing fine!

      If it's okay for me to ask, but why does post and replies have to be approved?

      No one that hasn’t gone through the self perceived shame and guilt about the feelings we’ve had cannot understand 1. Why we need a therapist we trust. 2.  Why we suddenly need to talk to them. 3. Why things set us off and throw us into a bout of extreme depression.  4. Why we feel threatened even when we aren’t in immediate danger.  That threat may be only in our mind but it’s our need for reassurance.

      Be careful about software bundled with your antivirus! Most likely they are using it to spy on you. As far as I know the only 2 VPN providers that actually protect your data (and delete it as soon as possible if they keep anything at all) are Proton VPN and Mulvad VPN - the latter one actually had their servers stormed by law enforcement and they walked away with nothing (cause Mulvad had no customer data to offer). I would avoid antiviruses altogether tbh, they're not a magic cure for internet safety and the built in one from Microsoft does its job well enough. If you're not on WIndows you don't even need one - just be smart about what you download of course.   Your web browser asking you to turn it off is probably because the browser would prefer to know your real location, just ignore it or pick a better browser, like Firefox.

      It was stupid of me, the cop was in front of me in a u-turn cut in a spot I know about. I was running a little late because of the slow truck, and the cop happened to be there today. It is like one of only three places for a speed trap on my commute. I usually don’t speed as I try to leave enough of a time buffer in the morning.

      The worst possible scenario is 4 points on my license, which a defensive driving course will negate it. I had considered getting a lawyer, but it is probably not worth the expense. 
    • Ivy
      Yeah, I was puzzling on that too…
    • Maddee
      Good luck maam 😊 I’ve experienced that they’ll lower the points , if you show up in court and pay the ticket.

      Welcome to Transgender Pulse Forums Mealaini,   Like you I knew in my preteen years that I was meant to be a girl, but didn't have any way to bring it up in the early 1960s. It was the expanding news outlets on the telly that allowed me to understand that I may not be the only person who felt this way. Wow was my mind expanded once the internet became a reasonable research tool in the 1990s.   My grown daughter (42) is nonbinary and atheist with pagan leanings. So when I came out to her she was thrilled and wanted to dress me up and show me the world. Well I think she wanted to show me to the world. My son (45) is evangelical christian and very upset with his sister for many reasons. However he's a reluctant supporter of me as transgender. I'm out to my wife and we've been married for 48 years this June, so I'm in a very late in life transition.   The other thing that has me going down an internet rabbit hole is your location. It clearly states United Kingdom with a sub flag of Illinois. I've searched the web and can't seem to locate Illinois, UK. Am I missing something?    Best wishes,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Thank you for sharing, @Mealaini, and welcome.    I appreciate your description of IFS and your book recommendation. I have a few close friends who are very enthusiastic about IFS and my therapist is incorporating some of those elements into my therapy.    -Timi

      Leg hair.  Shaving it was a surprisingly big decision.  (Not as big as the beard tho)  After I did it a few times, it's never really grown back.  Haven't shaved them in a couple of years and you'd never know it.  A daughter living with me doesn't shave hers, and she is much furrier than I ever was.     I don't exactly hate my living as a guy in the past.  TBH, I was never quite there anyway.  But I just dropped it.  I live full time fem, and it would bother me a lot to go back to being a guy.  But I don't have to appease family or an employer.

      @Loreleiit always sucks getting a ticket for passing a slower vehicle. I'm guessing the police officer was some distance behind you until you performed your passing maneuver. My most costly ticket was from a similar situation, however we were heading out of town and the last straight stretch of road to pass the two slower vehicles ahead of me was still in a 35mph zone. I didn't see the officer behind me and as soon as I pulled out to pass he turned on his lights and siren. Since I was in the process of passing, I figured the next safe place to pull over was at the upcoming roadside park. He didn't accept that and wrote me up for passing two gaps, speed in excess of 15mph over, and failure to stop. He did not care to hear about any fellowship in public safety, and no professional curiosities would be honored.  I did go to court plead my case and the judge, and he did see my point of continuing to pass with the intentions of pulling over safely at the roadside park. He was very familiar with the location. This allowed him to drop the failure to stop charges, but I did have to pay the full 15mph over speeding ticket. So my lesson learned was to never pass when entering or leaving a small town or village.   Hugs, and good luck in court.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
