usually it’s a dunks med iced caramel swirl 1 cream no sugar

 

Kirsten...you....you little punk!  Well, cute punk anyway... ? I'm assuming that's a Dunkin' Donuts iced caramel swirl.  I'm jealous.  I LOVE DD coffee and coffee drinks.  They're all over the East coast, pretty well covered in the Midwest, but when you get out here to the west coast, not so much.  When we moved out here there was only 1 within a 100 mile radius of me and that one was on base.  Now the nearest one is about 15 miles away from me...in the opposite direction of my commute.  I guess on the bright side it saves me $5 and 400 calories daily that I'd have to double workout off.

Briana, you're right that there are very few DDs out here. I grew up in California and still don't understand the attraction of Dunkin'. But I'm one of those people that drink straight espresso shots with no sugar. That's kind of the opposite of Dunkin's coffee. People love 'em, though, so they must be doing something right!

That is a sad state of affairs! Life without dunks has to be tough. ?. I do so love their iced though. They are more like dessert than anything really. But lots of sugar and carbs if you don’t ask for less. I really like the butter pecan, and pumpkin too. Yum! ?

Good Morning everyone!

 

So, I am having a cup while waiting for partner to awaken...

 

A curiosity... How do you like your coffee?

 

I like mine with heavy cream and Pyure or Splenda Naturals. Both are Erythritol and Stevia blend.

LoL....?

 

I am so lost!?

 

My face is warm and fuzzy though...

Had my first facial electrolysis treatment today. With coffee of course!

 

That's why I was waiting for Shawn t rise. To say bye on my way to my treatment.

I brew my coffee in a French press with fennel seeds and ground cayenne, then pour it into a cup and add cocoa powder. Sometimes I stir in a little milk. It’s a very bold, rich, complex blend. 2 cups and I’m good for the day!

Just a drip machine here on a timer, I wake to the smell of it wafting up to the bedrooms.

 

As they say here in the PNW,

 

Uff da

I love having a timer on my machine, rarely use it mid week though despite my best intentions!    Just waiting for my "Tale of the Beaver" Sleepy Monks Reserve to finish brewing - my Canadian friends left me some decent coffee as a Christmas present so I only drink it a couple of times a week, today it is the perfect antidote to warm up my chilled bones after being outside for the last couple of hours. x

We used to have one of those fancy coffee makers with the timer etc. Until it broke and we got just a plain generic ADC pot. It doesn't even turn its self off. We have to remember.

 

Bah, you all can have your fancy arse coffees. I will just stick with plain coffee, folgers med roast.

 

Anyway, good news today. I have been assigned another provider today with experience with HRT. Got the letter in the mail today. So as soon as I get a free moment on Tuesday, maybe after another appointment I will get my first with him and be able to start HRT. yeah, ME.

 

The journey is starting soon.

Just drinking my mid morning cup. It is ground, but a cheap blend, which I will not be getting again. Fennel seeds and cayenne Josie? I have fennel seeds in my breakfast cereal, which goes well so why not! I have never tried chilli. Worth a try at some point. I do have it in many things. These days I prefer Mexican as they are good for the milder smoky flavours.

 

Good luck Kymmie!

I'm a 8 o'clock coffee gal.  I used to buy whole beans and grind them with a grinder that was from my great grandfathers hardware store.....used by my grandfather and father it now lives in our kitchen like a little robot.  I've grown lazy and now use pre ground with a drip machine.  

Just finishing the first cup.  A winter storm is due today so i'm out early for chores and errands.

Congratulations Kimmie.  Fasten your seatbelt.  It takes a bit to start but what a journey!

 

Hugs,

No coffee today yet because I slept in but I’m contemplating making a cup. It’s cold and windy out and snow is falling like crazy. I’m supposed to brave the weather for some work pants and unfortunately I have to pay a bill so I guess it’s time to get ready to bundle up and freeze my buns off. I might just wait for the pants tomorrow morning because I’m not looking forward to the cold bus stop. I can walk a short distance for the bill so that’s not nearly as bad. I’m really not a fan of arctic weather. I need an Eskimo coat. And moon boots.

I'm also an 8 O'Clock Coffee drinker!  It's the best.  I used to grind the whole beans but now I buy it ground too.  I use a drip machine.  Ahhhhh!

Good morning everyone! I’m finding so much affirmation this morning even in the ridiculous infomercials this morning. No coffee yet but I did have a bowl of cereal with soy milk and collagen and a scoop of chocolate powder mixed in. Hopefully I can get to Walmart today to get a couple pairs of pants for work without freezing and still make it to group. Hopefully they don’t cancel again. I’m not over this cold completely but I’m trying to keep feeding it which seems to actually help the symptoms. I’m probably going to take a nap since I woke up way too early.

Good morning all,

 

Yuban gold when I'm lazy and don't want to grind whole beans, also my soul mate appreciates me not using the bean grinder to make the 2nd pot whilst she is asleep. It's much quieter to dip my spoon into the can of Yuban ?

 

Hope you get over the cold soon Josie

There are good points about everything. A good excuse for at least some more window shopping! :D

 

It is colder here now, at the moment, but if it is the same tomorrow morning I may be able to get out for a good walk in firmer conditions than the squishy earth there has been lately.

I am now looking forward to my coffee later this afternoon, having just finished lunch.

Finishing the second cup having had some lovely eggs toast and jam.  We lucked out and the temps here were a bit warmer than forecast.  Otherwise the heavy rains had would have been snow.  I'm sure my sisters and brothers to the north got hammered.  

Have a great day.

 

Hugs,

Hi all!

It's been the year without a winter up to this point. But winter finally os trying to get started. Got snow Friday night, and will be -4° tonight. 

 

Lots of love and a good morning hug,

Timber Wolf?

Well, I’m not better yet...it’s cold but sunny so hopefully the snow will melt off now that it’s washed over the grass and sidewalks. I’m sure it’s a slippery wonderland right now. I’ve got to get ready to go so I don’t miss group later. It’s going to be interesting to find work pants because I’m sure my butt won’t fit my usual size. But they have to be new and a specific color and no jeans, so that eliminates everything I already have that fits. I’m probably going to be in the fitting room. Wish me luck and shoehorns!

Not bad here.  There was only an inch of snow on the ground at midnight and this morning about 7 inches had accumulated.  Much less than predicted.  Seems the storm tracked further north than expected so it will end sooner too.  It is much colder though, still at 14 degrees F. 

 

I hope you find something that meets the needs Josie!

Currently 42/34 wind chill. cold wind cuts right through you. Looking at a winter storm advisory 2-6inchs. some places may get 9. Hope it clears by Tuesday so I can get over to another appointment in Cheyenne. No big deal if I miss it. But will be calling for an appointment with my new PC Dr. SO I can start HRT.

      I'd love to have a dinner party with Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Voltaire, and Ayn Rand.  Would definitely be an interesting time.

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

      Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>

      How ironic.  I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,”    - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick.  Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can.  Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk.  They want us to change our gender but they deny we can.  Confusion.

      @FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience.   Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.

      I still have not read much of this.  Very little of this document pertains to trans folk.  Some of the statements are more than problematic concerning trans folk.   It certainly was not written just to get us.   " those with gender dysphoria should be expelled from military service."  and "Reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military. Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service,"  https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-04.pdf are two lines out of hundreds if not thousands regarding the Department of Defense, targeting trans folk in an almost off-hand manner.    So if a fighter pilot, say, or a ship's captain, highly experienced and trained at enormous expense, is determined to be transgender (method unknown) the US loses someone badly needed due to the personnel shortage who is ready, willing and able to perform their duties.  Many trans folk have served well and transitioned later.  I don't think this point is well thought out.    A number of policy recommendations I would disagree with.  I am not sure there is a method to discuss those with the authors; I am attempting to find out.  I have good conservative creds.    They are fully intending to implement this, regardless of who the president is, as long as that president is conservative. It is not Trump centered.  I don't think he had anything to do with it.

      I wear a Delimira Mastectomy sleep bra with Vollence sleep rated breast forms. The form fit inside pockets so they don't touch your skin. I bought the bras on Amazon and found the forms on eBay. They were much less expensive than buying through the other sources.

      @LittleSamCongratulations on one of the biggest decisions. Looking forward to your progress.

      I don't wear a bra to bed.  The girls aren't big enough to need it, but still enough to appreciate.  Just a flannel nightgown suits me fine.
