Good morning All. Coffees on.


KymmieL

Recommended Posts

Coffee is done... Life is improving... It's always been improving. Yesterday was just "one of those days"!

 

Folger's Rulz... Life is good!

 

Sigh... For years I would wake-up, sit and have my cup. Smoke some weed if I have it and contemplate life and it's insane functions.

What is different today, however, it that now these seeming useless thoughts are just my feminine nature saying, "Good Morning, dear! Life is good! Be your self and keep your chin up"

 

These thoughts have always been within me. Now I understand. The calming of contemplation has always been from the woman's point of view. I used to call it my logical moment. When all seemed right in the world, just misunderstood. Boy was I missing the point. ROFL

 

So!!!! Good Morning, Girls!

Thank you for being my friends!!!

Good morning girls!

 

I’m sitting here with my coffee.  Third day of total emersion as a woman.  First day was mostly just driving.  But yesterday was window shopping,  bought a necklace and a ring.  Had lunch, went to Ulta.  Then we changed from day wear to evening.  Redid my makeup bolder and went to dinner wearing a dress.  No one referred to me as anything but feminine pronouns.  It was great.  More browsing this morning then off to the beach with the dog. 

 

I Even got my wife to laugh at a couple jokes about being dressed.  Never thought that would happen.

 

Hoping for another great day.

 

Hugs

 Hey Ashlee, very awesome !

 

I just finished my great big cup of coffee here at work before I wander into the warehouse and start getting some production needs met at the production floor. Our little Keurig coffee maker at work is starting to make some pretty rattly noises but it continues to make coffee so until it breaks I guess we’ll just keep abusing it!

I’m excited to get my license back in the mail soon, the last time I was at the DMV to do registration the girls at the front got really excited when they realized I was in transition, they couldn’t stand letting me keep that old picture on there or allowing the male gender marker to stay. I felt like a bit of a rockstar as a couple of the girls took me over to the computer and helped me fill out a new application, then one of them walked me over to a window where they had actually closed the window to wait for me and process my application to change my gender marker... Then they sent me over to the line to get my picture, I hope I didn’t blink.

A couple of the girls were crowding behind the agent at the desk doing my processing and they had some questions, since they were so polite I answered a few questions and felt like the trans ambassador there at the DMV,  I don’t think anyone overheard anything but I didn’t mind one bit.  They were so shocked that my old picture and my current reality are so different they couldn’t quite get over it, I imagine that’s how people who once knew me feel these days. ?

Oh my gosh! That's sooo exciting! Congratulations. For now I can only imagine. One step at a time I suppose. That really is really awesome!

I am so happy for you, Jackie.  This story gave me a big smile.  What a wonderful experience.

I'm glad things are going well Jackie. It's nice to have good news over coffee. I have not got that far yet as I am slow starting this morning. It is perhaps a good thing that it is winter as I have just driven my partner to the station in my pyjamas. They consist of a furry top and yoga bottoms today, in the cooler weather, so not too outlandish :D Shortly comes the morning coffee though!

Wow such special treatment from DMV employees Jackie, how nice, I bet that felt great :)

 

On my first cup here, and coffee always seems to taste better on the weekend. I like to get up early and prepare for the day, we have dry cool weather here, high pressure has set in and should be a nice day, my friend and I are probably gonna do some bicycling on the trails a little later today.

 

Enjoy your day everyone

Great news! I dream of the day I can walk into DMV and do that! Congratulations! 

 

First cup of coffee today and I’m awake! Finally found a happy medium with my sleep and today I’m a little more optimistic. One more day and then the weekend! I’m going to dedicate my days off to cleaning and catching up on laundry. Today I can even get to work a little early. It’s frigid outside and I’m really not looking forward to the cold but it’s a necessary evil. It’s warmer than yesterday though but that’s a relative term.

    Cold morning with a warm fire in the stove and a hot cup of coffee.  My usual orange juice and a bowl of oatmeal with blueberries i picked when the heat was unbearable outside.  Yesterday i finished all the preparations at the sugar house  on the tubing and collection building.  Now we just need a period of cold nights and days above freezing.

    Jackie i was blessed to have similar experiences at the DMV here in NJ.  The ladies there were great and since then i've felt like a rockstar.  I was scared going in and left feeling better about myself and the world.  I've experienced some negative reactions as well but when it's good it's wonderful!

 

Hugs,

I hope to have such a great experience the day I go to get my first female license. Some century. Sorry but I didn't even have coffee this morning. I feel so ashamed of myself. LOL. Work was boring, since I was into overtime at 11:30 this morning I jumped ship early. Windy and cold outside. Wish I had a wood stove or a fireplace to warm keep warm in front of. Again maybe some century.

Hi,

 

Coffee is made.  Having my first cup.  My son is here for a couple day visit.  Always great o have him here.  While he has yet to see me as Willow, he knows and is supportive.  

 

I’ve ordered my first swimsuit.  It’s not exactly what I wanted but I couldn’t find what I was looking for.  I guess it’s jst a bit too early to have everything out yet.  

 

Cloudy but warmer than it’s been lately.

 

Hugs

It’s not as cold today yet but it’s supposed to get chilly out once it stops raining and the sun comes out. I’m sipping my mocha coffee and trying to think of everything I need to shop for before I leave the house. Then I have to do laundry which is going to be difficult on this tight budget. It’s also nice to have a cleaned house for once since I’ve actually got time and energy.

It's 20 degrees but with a windchill of -6! Tem is supposed to drop all day. definite coffee weather for sure!

It’s about -1F here, not including the wind chill. We’re expected to get at least 6” of snow but could get over 1’. Wish I didn’t have a meeting today and could of worked from home. At least the green teas are helping keep me warm. 

 

Have be a great day everyone and stay warm.

Hi everyone,

 

As I sitting here with my coffee, I’m thinking about everyone being hit with the extreme artic cold.  Yes, it will get cold here too, but cold can be relative.  Nothing like the -1 to -60 wind chills.  Please stay warm and covered. It doesn’t take long for frostbite to set in and you don’t always notice it’s happening at first.  

 

My my sons visit is drawing to a close.  He leaves today to visit a high school lifetime friend to celebrate his friend’s birthday.  

 

Hugs

Up early again on my day off. For some reason I can't sleep in  anymore. Just waiting to pour my morning cup. I know I should already have it. Today and tomorrow is another trip to Cheyenne, for Counselor visits. See a new on tomorrow a MH pharmacist. She is replacing my long time counselor who is having vision problems and can no longer see patents. I am going to talk to her about HRT and other drug/health interactions. Just for my own information. 

 

Looks like a balmy 3 degrees on the back fence now. Good thing I am taking the car with remote start so I can get into a warm car for the drive.

Stay warm everybody.

Brrrr Kymmie, not quite that cold here, safe drive dear.

 

The high pressure system is breaking down over us here in WA, rain is heading back into the picture later this week.

 

Saw this majestic bird when out riding last weekend surveying the landscape....

 

Have a great day all

This cold is crazy! Here it’s supposed to be below 0 tomorrow with windchills in the -30 area from what I’ve heard. 

But for now it’s nice out. 25° right now with a real feel of 21. Double sweatshirt weather today for me. But still no coat! Tomorrow I’ll have to dig it out though. Brrrrrr!

We are a bit east of you here in NJ so it's still warm at 30.  Tomorrow 1 is forecast with high winds.  Fortunately our goats aren't due to have kids until the 11th of Feb.  If it's too cold we can have big losses which is so sad to deal with.  Today no tights but that changes next morning.  

Oh well i'll finish this cup, the third, an buzz my way out to chores.

 

Hugs,

 

Charlize

      No luck there, really. She's getting a signing bonus plus a little extra that I don't think would cover much in the way of the move, but it is something!   Oh my! I am glad to hear you're not passing anymore blood. I hope they figure it out soon! How distressing!   @April Marie @KymmieL @Mirrabooka @Willow @Justine76, thank you for the kind words and thoughts! We told our best friends last night. There were many tears. Now it's all about the work: selling the house (my wife's friend's son said he may want to buy it direct!), a job (a former employee of mine wants to bring me over to his company--and they're based outside of Tacoma!), and moving (just started going through what we don't want bring and donating things). So things have kicked off.   I'm not so sure of the job, it would be good to work with my former employee (he's great) but I fear the culture may not be super welcoming to someone like me--and the guy doesn't know I'm trans in any way. But I'll give it a shot as my authentic self and see what happens!

      @LadypcnjI'm sorry. I know the feeling my mom thinks I'm going through a phase too although I didn't come out till April 17, 2023, so it was later in life. I was in denial majority of my life. I would love to hear more about this if you are comfortable sharing more of it.

      I love fashion. I have over 100 dresses and 74 pairs of shoes. My walk-in closet is full of other clothes as well. I'm getting more shorts soon. SHEIN is awesome for quality and price. Just when you get a leather coat from them it's just the shell not the liner. Most of my shoes are from Torrid because I wear size 13 women's.

    • Ashley0616
      I'm sorry @Ladypcnj I can only sympathize with you on that. Therapist on the other hand is crazy. I have had 16 in 10 years. It sucks having to have to go over things. I will say though after 6 therapists I didn't have to explain my history they simply read the history. 
    • Ashley0616
      I followed you and will give you my advice when I can. It has happened to me a lot too. If you want to you can always message me and I'll get back to you ASAP. I understand your concerns.

      I don't use it.   One of my daughters gave me a little to experiment with, but I haven't.  My youngest tried to put some on me once, but I din't like it.  The light was pretty bad admittedly. My ex didn't use it, and my daughters didn't use it much either when they were still at home.  (If so it was very subtle) And I don't often notice it on women my age (mid 70's)   I shave every day.  But my beard is not heavy, and essentially grey, so it's not real noticeable unless you get close with good light.  I was starting to look into electrolysis, but the pandemic hit, and I just kinda dropped it.   Sometimes I do wonder about it though.

      It's something I'm just learning but I find I actually enjoy the 'craft' of it in addition to how it makes me look. Even after a fresh shave, I have a mild 5'clock shadow. For me, the primary use of makeup is to get rid of that. I'll start with the orange concealer over facial hair areas and a bit under my eyes. Liquid foundation over that and light concealer used judiciously over that (still dialing that part in). Then just a tad of powder to bring color back in certain places. There are a number of Youtube tutorials on that layering process.    I'll also pencil in my eyebrows a bit since they're blonde and otherwise not very visible. Sometimes I'll get adventurous and give mascara a try but that's a delicate skill and usually I mess it up. I don't particularly like lipstick, but just ordered a 'lip pencil' to experiment with. Hoping for a more subtle effect.

      Sunday is my weekly ablution day - all of the parts that need occasional shaving get their required attention. The weather is rainy and cool today so after the ablutions and shower, I put on blue jeans, a gray t-shirt and a black front-zip hoodie along with gray sneakers.   And, I did put on make-up, not to impress anyone but just to feel as if I'm looking my best....as good as that can be given this woman is now 69 years old. 
    • April Marie
      There are lots of us here willing to offer support, ideas, a shoulder or just a smile. Working with your therapist and finding your true self can be difficult process...but it will also be filled with wonder and joy as you discover that person who's been waiting inside you to be found.   Just know that you are not alone.
