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!

      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.

      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.

      Yeah, that is the point.  And of course they can be proud of themselves for saving humanity.   Yeah.  That would be scary.  I'd find a bush somewhere like our GOP governor candidate recommends.  So far I've gotten away with the women's.  I've been told I pass better than I realize.  But it would only take one a55h0le.   This is all so stupid.  I mean, who gets off on hanging out in a bathroom?
