 It's a beautiful mornin'
I think I'll go outside a while,
An just smile.
Just take in some clean fresh air, boy
Ain't no sense in stayin' inside
If the weather's fine and you got the time.
It's your chance to wake up and plan another brand new day.

 

Cool, a bit windy but sunny and clear.  What a great day to be alive even if my dysphoria is running rampant right now.  Really feeling the need to take another step forward.  Good thing I have an appointment with my therapist this week.

Another great day today was. Not only coming out to my wife but just being able to enjoy. Just waiting for my evening coffee, now.

Good morning all. I was up early this morning, coffee and breakfast over all before 8.  It used to be daily, but I am getting lazy these days :D

Well chilly here so the coffee is good and warming. Still on the high from yesterday of a totally understanding and supportive wife. Although dreading work today. as it is our annual inventory, which will totally suck rotten apples. As management I will be doing discrepancies. Oh joy

 

Have a great day, all.

 

Hugs,

Hi everyone!  Another beautiful day here.  No breeze, perfect blue sky.  Birds are singing.  Coffee was good this morning as it got a little chilly overnight.  I had to toss a a quilt on the bed.  

 

Kymmie i I don’t envy you taking inventory I had over 40 years of inventories.  Some went well, some didn’t .  Mostly clerical errors that I had to find and fix.

Good morning everyone. I'm drinking my extra large coffee as I wait for my wife's doctors appointment to end. I just got back from a week away in Provincetown, Massachusetts at Fantasia Fair. I had a great time and connected with some new friends. Today is day 14 of my new phase of life. I am so grateful I am living full time as my authentic self. It's great to be me! 

Enjoy your day!

CONGRATS, Julie.

 

Hoping one day I will make it where you are. First hurdle is done. but the race is far from over. Have my last session with one of my counselors today. She is moving out of town. She has started a referral so I can continue to see a gender specialist. Maybe get on HRT. ?

 

Hugs all

Julie, A little off topic. Being from London, ONT. CA. I wonder if you know of a little town (May not be so little anymore) south of London Called, Lambeth?

Good morning Kymmie. I live five minutes from Lambeth. It is now part of London. It has grown a bit but is still small. It was annexed into London a number of years ago. 

 Now I'm going to have a quick shower then head over to Archie's restaurant on Wellington Rd for breakfast on my own. It's time all the girls met Julie. They have great coffee there.

Well i'm about to get a second cup.  Happy birthday Gizmo.  Best to Julie enjoy Archie's.  Enjoy the Alps RGA.  I used to love Earl Grey.

The plumbing was frustrating.  Fixed one leak.....found another so i never made the woods.  Hopefully today i'll be down there setting up for sugar season.  A year of branches breaking as well as time itself makes for a great many repairs.  

 

Hugs,

Good morning everyone had my one cup for the day.  Another fine day here.  Hard to believe a few short weeks ago we were having a hurricane followed by flooding.

I usually go through a couple of pots of coffee in the morning (small carafe's). 

 

Rained a little over night here, Indian summer has faded, we had a nice dry spell and warm afternoons, very nice, still nice fall colors here, the wind expected with the next system will drop and scatter many leaves.

 

Enjoy your day everyone.

Just finished enjoying my breakfast at Archie's in London, Ontario. ?

I'm texting to say that the wonderful waitresses who have known me as male for most of the past 28 years are not only accepting, they are very happy for me. I'm feeling pretty good about coming and introducing them to the new and improved me! Now to finish my 5th coffee and then go shopping!

This is me enjoying another 1st... breakfast at a well know, familiar breakfast haunt for my wife and I. She'll have an interesting breakfast next time she's in.

Well the thermometer outside shows a cold 48. So coffee is a must this AM. Working today, closing . Ugh. Luckily on Nov 4 we start closing at 8.

 

Julie, reason I asked. My grandparents lived in Lambeth. On the street leading to the Ice rink. On the top of the hill.

hi,  I've been awake for hours today.  Much earlier than normal.  You see today is the third anniversary (if you can call it that) of the death of my 7 year old Granddaughter.  She died from Childhood Cancer/Brain tumor.  She managed to fight for 18 months, through 3 brain surgeries, Chemo, Proton radiation, standard radiation and still a tumor that has a high cure success rate became very aggressive in her case.  she was finally accepted into an experimental treatment with the caution that it had been known to be both good and bad 50-50.  She was in the bad group.  we had 8 more weeks with her.

 

For all of you that see the advertisements asking for support for St Judes, I would like to share with you one simple fact.  They had the doctor with the highest success rate for her type of cancer and yet couldn't even be bothered to answer my daughters letters and pleas for help.  The rest of what they say about never paying them is true but honestly that is not typically the parents main concern, they just want their child to live.

 

It's going to be a tough day around here, good thing I already have a therapy appointment.

      happy trans birthday! I can't speak personally on the subject, but I hope hormones bring you the changes you're looking for <3 
    • MaeBe
      That’s super healthy, to see that something that becomes common has less effect on you and that you are able to decipher these feelings.   Sadly, this trend tends to only deaden good feelings as we tend not to let bad feelings attenuate the same way.   I have noticed less euphoria, but still feel the dysphorias that I have. Sometimes the good sneaks in and reminds me, but often time it’s just me seeing myself in the mirror and being comfortable about what I see when embracing my realized self. I may not get the same buzz I once did, but I don’t feel incongruous when looking at a more “drab” reflection.    Wishing you strength, you are amazing!
    • KayC
      Congratulations! and Happy Trans Birthday @LittleSam! That is such a BIG milestone.  I can still remember walking out of my clinic with my first HRT presciption.  I was on Cloud-9.  Wishing you all the best in the start of your new Journey!
    • missyjo
      maebe thank you I try to be. I thank God for blessings, try to share them, beg forgiveness for my shortcomings n vow to try to do better...2 priests have said no, God doesn't condemn you just for being trans...but apparently evangelicals do   I shall vtry dear thank you  
    • MaeBe
      Meet him at the being good to others part of Christianity. At the heart of it, there are excellent tenets of the faith. Those that condemn are judging, Jesus would have us be selfless; stone casting and all that. Are you a good person? Are you putting good into the world? If your gender is an issue for God, let God judge. In the mortal realm, let your actions be heard. 
    • missyjo
      and just fi sweeten it..I'm catholic n he hasn't been for years..he's evangelical..whatever that is
    • MaeBe
      Let’s stick to cite-able fact. Most of my posts have been directly in relation to LGBTQ+ rights as it pertains to P2025 and I have drawn direct links between people, their quotes, and their agenda. I have made reference to the cronyism that P2025 would entail as well, by gutting, not cutting, broad swathes of government and replacing it with “conservative warriors” (I can get you the direct quote, but rest assured it’s a quote). All this does is constantly force the cogs to be refitted, not their movement. To say that agencies have directly defied a President is a bit much, the EPA did what Trump told them to do at the direct harm to the environment, the department of agriculture did the same by enacting the administrations forced move to KC which decimated the USDA.      How about Betsy DeVoss for Education? Or Bannon for anything? What about the revolving Chief of Staff position that Trump couldn’t stay filled? Or the Postmaster General, who did much to make the USPS worse?   Let’s not mix politics with racism, sexism, or any other ism. Because Trump made mainly white, male, appointments—many of them not, arguably, people fit for service—or unwilling to commit to term. I can argue this because, again, he’s up for election and will do what he did before (and more of the same, his words).   Please delineate how the selected diversity appointments have negatively affected the US, other than being black, women, or queer? Representation matters and America benefits when its people are inspired and empowered.

      When I first started figuring things out, I got a lot more euphoria. Every time a friend would use he/they pronouns for me, I'd get this bubbly feeling, and seeing myself look masculine made me really happy. Dysphoric state felt more normal, so I guess I noticed the pain it caused me less.   Now, it's more just that my pronouns and such things feel natural, and dysphoria is a lot stronger -- I know what's natural, so experiencing the opposite is more jarring than everything. The problem is, most of my natural experiences are from friends, and I rarely get properly gendered by strangers, much less by my family. I've found myself unable to bind in months due to aches, colds,, and not wanting to risk damage.    It partially makes me want to go back to the beginning of my journey, because at least then I got full euphoria. I'm pretty sure it'll be like this until I medically transition, or at the very least get top surgery (you know all those trans dudes online with tiny chests? Not me, unfortunately). It's a bit depressing, but at least I know that, eventually, there's a way out of this.
    • RaineOnYourParade
      Major mood, right here ^^^    I've listened to Lumineers to a long time (a major portion of it by osmosis via my mom), so that is almost painfully relatable
    • RaineOnYourParade
      As for getting a button-up/formal pants suit, you can try to talk to her more -- Cis women in tuxes have worn tuxes in recent years, after all, (for example, Zendaya) so it can still be a relatively safe topic. For jumpsuits, I'd recommend going with a simple one with a blazer, if you can -- this'll make it look overall more masculine. There's a lot of good brands, but going for one without a lot of extra glitz on it will make it look less feminine under a blazer. I don't know many specific brands though since I usually just get my stuff from chain stores, sorry :<   When it comes to your hair, if you can't cut it, you can look up tutorials on fluffing it up instead. If you can pull it off, it can look a lot shorter and more androgynous instead!
