Ohhh, sorry to hear about the thermostat issue.  Mold is a terrible problem as it seems to get everywhere.  I hope the cleaning goes easy.  Yes get the stereo connected!  

Jani

I'm looking into hiring a hospital-certified cleaning crew to go after everything once I've gotten the furniture unstacked, etc.

Thermostat failure more or less caused the problem, but mitigated it too, since the HVAC wasn't blowing mold spores everywhere.

For today, bleach followed by lemon oil should handle the worst.

Good advice Sara! I suffered from some rhino (something or other) that gave me a post nasal drip at night, I used to sleep on my back and would wake up thinking I was drowning. I finally saw an allergist who tested me for everything and eventually came up with a proper diagnosis and a pill that solved the problem for me. Go see a specialist and get a proper diagnosis and prescription to fix the problem.

Well just had a knock down drag out with my youngest. He's 22. Over where we put the vacuum cleaner. I am not the one who went ballistic. I went to move the vacuum from in front of the closet door to the landing on the stairs.  He goes off yelling at me. about how Mom want it there and all. push comes to shove and ultimately wind up on the floor. He chops down on my hand. He pulls my hair. We separate and he yells at me telling me that I have a anger issue. I tell him that he is the one with anger issues. I tell him to leave. He does.  I tell the dog to go finish eating. He was protecting me.  I go take a shower. Come back down my wife is watching TV. He is still gone.

 

Other than that everything is great. I have no remorse on what happened. Will he be able to come back, yes. Am I going to apologize, NO.

@KymmieL My apologies if my comments came across the wrong way, that was not my intent. I just wanted to make sure that you and anyone else that may read this in the future go see a doctor to help with treatment.

After my morning tea, I’m off to buy a “new-to-me” car today. My current vehicle needs several thousand in repairs and is on worth a couple thousand at best. Buying it from family, it’s very gently used and they are giving me an amazing deal.  They are amazing people in a very good financial position and have helped my wife and I out in the past. I’m blessed to have them in my life. 
 

Have a great day everyone!

Sara, No problems on this end. I agree that while the web may be good for research. Always refer to your medical provider.  I was just wondering if what I have had for meany years could be a deviated septum. So I can visit with my Dr about it.

Sorry you are going through all of this with your son Kymmie.  Hopefully things will smooth out!

Tammy Anne, be careful to take a kook at any finished oil painting you left in your studio. I've found mold growing on some of my work especially on cadmium yellow pigment for some reason.

I'm now busy in the woods repairing maple sap collection tubing.  Down trees, branches, and squirrel bites found late spring need repair.  Then i flush every tap with water and repair any new leaks before the season begins. 

Farming is always busy....

 

Hugs,

Good Morning Girls (and boys.)

I am starting my day off in a super positive mood.  I have my first therapy appointment today and as some of you may know I have had some fairly huge anxiety attacks over this lately.

I posted here about them while they were occurring and feel silly about what I wrote and how.  But thank you all for being supportive.

Today, to me, is my first coming out event.  To a live person.  I realize my therapist knows about me already as we emailed a lot for a week on different things.  Still. I am scared as I am so conditioned to always hide that frightened girl inside.  I am trying to look at it as liberating but the fear nibbles at me still.

I dressed as feminine as I could though still presenting as a male.  Of course wearing nice feminine undergarments to reinforce myself,  a light pink silky golf polo, light tan slacks.  My employee dress code dictate a collared shirt and slack for male employees.

All body hair removed!  (I had to add that as it has been a trail for me lately)

Its a big step for me. 

I know a lot of you looked at it differently and felt it was not all that bad.  I am hoping I come away feeling the same way.

Please wish me luck and have a great day!

@Nivegnal I hope you find it cathartic to talk to someone face to face, I know I did and still do. I was super nervous for the first few sessions with my therapist, now I am much more relaxed. Good luck.

I am so sorry to hear this had happened to you in the first place but so happy for you to have this positive win towards justice.  Be strong.

This resonates with my experience with an abusive son who as it turns out is bi-polar. He'd go from angel to violent monster in 60 seconds over absolutely nothing. He moved out with a police escort, haven't seen him in 15 years but have found out that he's been arrested for assault twice since then. I see his little boy and baby pictures and get tearful at times, especially around holidays.

Josie Beth, is there any chance they were going to "rescue" it and give it to you?

This other person I mean.

I always hate to think ill of someone unless I'm certain they were up to no good.

But it's great that you recovered your things.

So now you know things about two people, one who has a good heart, and one who bears watching.

 

 

No, we both know this girl and she is totally selfish. She tried twice to claim it as her own and when she realized she was caught, she decided to stop texting the attendant. She doesn’t like being embarrassed but instead of being mindful she punishes others because she did something to embarrass herself. Just a total mess. I don’t like thinking ill of others but it’s really how they behave habitually. If they continue a pattern of behavior I have no problem calling it what it is. I know late reply.

 

 I need coffee.

Good plan, I carry 24/7, times have changed and the dangers have only increased along with the extremes in incivility.

That’s good to hear.  I was shocked to read your story.

After two days of moving things around, unpacking, organizing and scrubbing, I'm about ten percent completed! But on the plus, I entertained my pest control and heating and air guys, so spider traps are in place, thermostat fixed, HVAC system working correctly.

My fingers are sore from scrubbing.

Fortunately I see no signs of mold on any artwork. But most of the woodwork in the house still needs attention. Lemon oil! At least things smell nice. I got the leather chairs cleaned up and looking (and smelling) nice again too.

Coffee is a good thing in the mornings. I'm going to rest a day or so, then go after it all again. Drawing studio is about two-thirds ready to work. Painting studio is not even halfway there yet.

Plus I'm trying to get a small RAID array setup so I can have adequate file storage.

Big hugs and smooches to all!

Keep at it and the end will come.  But take breaks.  
I live breaks.  
 

Breaks are good.

I'm not as mean to myself as I used to be.

And while I am driven to do my art at the expense of nearly everything else, I do try to find time to rest.

And drink coffee!

      While the Soviet Union did not end up being the source of all evil, I believe that history has shown that Joe McCarthy generally was right. There ARE all kinds of Marxists slithering around. And if that had been dealt with firmly 75 years ago (or more) the nation wouldn't be in the shape that it's in now.    And while I generally oppose the idea of intervening in foreign affairs, the world probably would have been better off if we had taken care of issues in Russia and defeated the Bolshevik Menace back in 1919. God bless the memory of Admiral Kolchak.   Getting back to project 2025, my belief is that Republican efforts are inappropriately focused on trans folks. A minority of a minority does not wreck a nation. But it is easier to focus on trans folks because they can look like they're doing something. They don't have to address the real problems, and really they don't want to address them because they would have to address themselves.  They would also need to admit that the 50 State version of the USA cannot be saved.

      @Willow things went pretty well on Monday. I have been working on the project all week long. I've been hanging out with my husband a lot, since he said that nobody would mind because I'm working on company stuff. My work is going slowly, but it is going. Rather better than I had hoped.   I ended up waking up late this morning. After 18 months of only working on house chores, not really used to doing anything else. Actually a little bit tired

      Getting back to this… I've seen objections to Critical Race Theory, but simply "critical theory" is a new one on me.  I think we need to be "critical" about a lot of things, or at least examine why we believe what we do about them.  If they stand up under scrutiny, great.  If not perhaps we need to look at something else.   Not all socialists are Soviet Russian Communists. I have read very little Marx myself.  That kind of writing bores me quickly.  But I think there are legitimate concerns about unfettered capitalism.  There are countries that seem to do well on a mixture of capitalism and socialism.  But I am no Tankie.   The Red Scare kinda morphed into the Lavender Scare, and now we have this Transgender Scare.   The thing is, most people are scared to get to know any of the people they are scared of. I'm not scared of evangelical christians.  But I am a little scared of what they seem ready to do to me, because they are scared of me. I am not a scary person - don't want to be.  I'm just an old trans woman trying to mind my own business, and get with what's left of my life. And the 2025 project seems to be designed to make that difficult.

      My mom has been more accepting of me being trans lately and even promised i could get a binder if i pay with my own money. The preferred name is still an issue. So far my mom, close friends and brother know i identify as trans but no one else does. I recently told mr grandparents about my partner and explaines the perferred name as a nickname they prefer to have. Luckily everyone who knows is accepting but i feel like i still have so much progress to make. Started getting more uncomfortbale being reffered to as my deadname and she/her in public. My therapist is getting me a trans pin for my birthday next time I see her. I have hop but sometimes I feel like the goal is so far. HRT and top surgery are things i know i want but there has been warnings given to me about the problems that come with it from the ones that have accepted me and I trust most. Mainly from the adults in my life that know, also been getting nervous many people dont see me as a man but i also go to an all girl school. being consistenly reffered to as women has started to get to me and have had urge on several occasions to write perferred name on paper. i dont think pereffered name can go into school system due to being catholic school and for graduation diploma we have to contact the person in charge and ask. I just need some advice on what to do, I am thank ful for the advice everyone had given me, made me feel better about future and hope that I can transition but also worry about familial ties and affect. due to most f them being born in the 80's and 90's and not taking it well originally mostly based on my moms reaction. I love my family alot but how they might react is scaring me. my mom still donesnt want them to know. I know they love me but when I eventually come out and medically trasition in several years hopefully, what will happen? there are little kids in the family and I already dont see them a lot, how would their parents react? what would they say to the kids? I know my aunt would not take it well due to political belief and warnings from cousins.

      Maybe.  But they'd probably resent being required to do it.   IDK.  You have to show ID to register already.  And you have to be registered to vote.

      Hah! Woke up the Red Scare!   I’ve never read Marx. I tend to believe in the inherent goodness in people. I let their words and deeds change that. Insisting people are immoral/less than/should not exist, stripping them (or keeping them from) human rights, is an a most basic example of true evil. What evils do LGBTQ+ people present simply existing? How does the Right justify their crusade against us? What justifies the manufactured fear and loathing they spout every day about us?
