It is wonderful to hear.  So many struggle with how their loved ones will react and accept.  Trust me I know...

Good morning everyone ☃️

I slept in this morning. Woke up to snow! Sitting here with my cup of morning coffee, listening to pretty music, watching the snow outside my window. Very nice start to my day!

 

Lots of love,

Good Morning everyone :) 

I woke up and went to feed my fish to find that there were babies in the tank! I had no idea that my pleco was pregnant or even laid eggs in the first place, and in addition to this, a nice stranger called me sir on my way to school. What a great day so far. Hope all of your days are just as cool.

Sounds like a most wonderful day all around! That’s really cool that you had surprise baby fish, I never had any baby fish when I had fish tanks. 

Really happy for your super cool greeting from a stranger! Real times like that are very cool!

I hope your session. It’s been a minute since I’ve had my last one. I don’t have regularly scheduled meetings. Mine are about 3 months apart or unless I feel I need one. I’m sure more could help me, but my introverted side is perfectly ok with waiting. I’ve been fortunate that Im getting what ive needed in my Journey, which in turn has helped me with my GD.

Good morning.

Very sleepy today and a long day at work. However, me and my wife are going away together this weekend and get to be out really feminine. So going to look forward to that.

Kettle is on, there’s the first dusting of snow outside and I’m getting ready for work. Tonight is the first trans group meeting I’ll be attending. I’m super nervous and a little anxious. I’m so hoping to be able to find an irl friend/ally/mentor. 
 

Have a great day everyone!

I'm in a similar situation.  Light snow and freezing out.

Long commute to work today in which I sipped my coffee and listened to an audio book.  

I'm still highly upset but more irritated now over my "email loss" yesterday but pulling up my panty hose and going to start again.  LOL

I think I may also send one to my mother to come out as I am feeling that our issues are small compared to others and trying to get to into a "water under the bridge" mode.

Trying this with a lot of things I am dealing with lately...  Holding on the fear/stress/anxiety is killing me slowly.  Plus I am sick of crying over everything.  I mean really.  

Have a great day our there and stay warm..!!!

Crying is perfectly fine. Look at it this way, you’ve some years worth of cries that you never did, being in guy mode. You’re just making up for lost time. Having a lot on the go right now, is tough and emotions are probably running very high. It’s okay. She’d some tears, reflect, find some happy thoughts when and where you can, vent to us when you need. You’ll get through this and any other challenge life throws at you.

I love this girl.  I really do.  She has helped me in so many way just being my friend.

Thank you sweetie.

Good Morning,

Im sipping coffee from Dunkin Donuts takeout in a nearly empty condo.

My mother’s fall in August demonstrated that she cant live alone anymore, so shes moved into an assisted living.  The condo is sold, and needs to cleaned for new owners.

She cant bring 80 years of her stuff and ny fathers to assisted living, so its fallen on me to do it.

Its amazing how difficult it is to get someone to take furniture, that while its used, is still in good condition.   I dont have time to sell.

At least the local food pantry has a thrift shop for all the small things....

You may want to separate the babies from the bigger fish. I have a big Koi pond and find that the other fish eat the babies every time.

Exciting! I can’t wait until I have the courage to go to a meeting someday. I hope you have a wonderful time!

The first trans meeting I ever attended back in the 1990's seemed so unusual and such an out of the ordinary stream of life event that I almost bolted out the door. After a few meetings I began to open up and get to know the others, and eventually saw them almost as extended family because of we all shared in common. There were a few with horrible wigs and clothing choices and there were others who looked great and were smart dressers. I still recall the eye-popping event when a 6' 4" statuesque woman in stilettos fishnet stockings, and a 14" skirt sat down directly across facing me, the sight of the large bulge in her panties was and OMG - UGH moment. You will have those moments, but it's all a part of people going through their personal discovery phase.

Hello Laurain! 

Dealing with aging parents is always so very frustrating. We begin to realize that our roles have switched when they become child-like and dependent just as we once were to them, my heart goes out to you dear. I know at a condo you can't just put the furniture out by the curb with a free sign, you might just run an estate sale add in the local rag setting a specific date and time for the event.

Good morning.

 

I'm on my second cup this morning.  The first time I went out dressed with my wife, it was scary, exciting and rewarding all rolled into one.

 

Good luck going to your support meeting.  Unfortunately for me, It took me three different groups to find one that met my needs.  the first group was too young and out there, the second turned out to be more of an executive meeting than a support meeting.  However, it was there that I met a couple who were also visiting that meeting and we have become good friends.  I went to the same meeting that she normally went to (completely closed and lead by a sociologist) and that one was a good fit.  Unfortunately it is quite a ways away so I can't make the meeting very often but its good when I can.

I remember the first meeting I went to @SaraAW.  Boy was I nervous!  But when I got there it all melted and all was good.  It was a small group and I have overdressed in a nice pair of slacks and top, with full makeup.  It was super casual with a dozen folks mostly younger than I.  Just be yourself and join in.  Everyone there was new at some point.  

 

Cheers, Jani

That sounds like a good Idea, thank you. So far my goldfish hasn't shown any interest in the baby plecos.

Morning everyone. I survived the bus ride to school without feeling the eyes of my fellow peers on me. First class is P.E. but thankfully we went straight to the classroom today and skipped the locker room (My least favorite part of the day). Today is a half day so the day should fly by, anyways hope everyone's morning is swell. -Aidan

Well my time with my therapist was good. cleared my mind some. Also got some great advice. Hopefully I can act on it on Saturday. I want to have a sane discussion with my wife. Alone with out my youngest butting in. Sat is his poker night with the guys. SO I will be doing it then. I want to see why my wife went straight to the big D If I wanted to live as my true self. See her thoughts and explain mine. Hopefully it all goes well.

      Something else I noticed @Ladypcnj Since I use the Unread tab, I don't see threads I've read again until someone replies to it, or the author adds something.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
    • Mmindy
      Good morning @Ladypcnj   Some posts get lost in the busy times here. It also maters how people navigate the site. Some only look at their notifications, or tap the All Activity tab which shows them thread they've commented on. (how I see it)... I on the other hand use the Unread tag under Activity. I don't think people ignore post as much as they get caught up reading threads they've already been active in.   Best wishes, stay positive, and motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Oh yeah, I forgot,    @awkward-yet-sweetwhen your husband finally breaks down and decides to replace the stoves I agree a single professional stove even out of a defunct restaurant might well be the way to go when cooking for all those kids and adults. Certainly better that the situation you describe.  Or maybe from a used restaurant supply where they have professionally cleaned and refurbished it.

      Wow, yesterday was a very active day.     @Birdie I hope they figure out where that’s coming from and get you heeled quickly. That it’s nothing serious.  Maybe going to the day care with a purewick will finally convince them to change their attitude.   @MaeBe  especially if you believe you are about to loose your job anyway, what’s to keep you in Minnesota ?  This could be a wonderful thing for all of you Washington State can be wet but it’s really not as bad as it’s made out to be.  If you are west of the cascades it is relatively mild not like MN in the winter time.  And east of the cascades it’s rather desert like around Yakima.     New car shopping can be fun but it can be very stressful too.  We talked about it over lunch yesterday. Strange thing is she kept coming back to the old Ford.  My response was instead of two car payments there woul only be one although I would expect it to be a little higher, but not nearly what two would add up .  Plus I wouldn’t have to continue working as long with only one as when I get the other things paid off I know we can live without me working.  Unless of course, the congress decides to mess with social security.  Right now I have three vehicles I want to look at two are at one dealer and the third at another.  All three are GMs two are newer with lower mileage but are also lower end on the GM line.  The third which is the one that most interests me is a Cadillac.  Let’s see there is a song from way back about a Cadillac and a Hot Rod Lincoln comes to mind.  Anyway it is an XT-5. I get my room and comfort, she gets her nice appointments and the ford hopefully will hang on as a spare for those occasions when we need a second car for me to go to work and for her to do ??  The downside is it has just under 80,000 miles and is a 2020 so in that regard we are slipping backwards from a 2022 with 25000  but going from a sub-compact to a mid-size.  The other two are a compact and a Midsize but neither would provide the expected comfort and features of the Cadillac.  The biggest of which are the pedals that would adjust and the seat adjustments. (My wife is 4’ 10” and I am 5’8” since my spine has shrunk.  The Caddy also has the lane safety as well as front and rear collision warning.  The mileage will go down and the engine requires higher octane gas but that won’t be too much of a drag since we can go to Murphy USA where I work or to Costco which isn’t that far away. 10 miles.  And it’s better than the Ford!   I guess we will see how this plays out later.   Willow

      Two things amaze me, One how fast short haired dogs dry. Two how did you keep from loosing your glasses? I'm glad you wear a life jacket while kayaking even on smooth waters such as ponds or lakes. I'm guessing you learned a few things about landing and exiting the kayak.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Aside from the X-Files, Gilmore Girls is easily my favorite TV show. I originally watched the original airing in the commuter lounge at my college starting in 2000 because I was embarrassed to watch it at home when I living as a man. Now that I am out and transitioned, I watch it openly and wear Gilmore Girls t-shirts at work on days that I wear a skirt. For Valentine’s Day, my wife bought me the DVD’s. Yesterday I had to stay at work late because of an IT problem (I am not IT so I just had to make sure the pump stations telemetry was functioning properly before I could leave, IT did the actual work) and so I watched it on Netflix. Lorelai Gilmore inspired me to change my name to Lorelei. Yes, I picked a more traditional spelling on the name. The mother daughter interaction between them is heartwarming and sometimes hilarious. Last week I just started rewatching it again. Ironically I relate most to Luke, very rare as I almost always relate to a female character. Anyone else here love the show?

      Good morning everyone,   @Birdie continued prayers for you as they figure thing out. I'm glad you're being properly cared for.   @April Marie I love the pageantry of the Kentucky Derby the bright dresses, and fascinating hats worn by the ladies. As for the mint juleps... I'll pass, they're just to aromatic for me.  We'll be watching "The Fastest Two Minutes in Sports" as well.   @Adrianna Danielle & @awkward-yet-sweet it is amazing how a new stove seems to cook food better. Cooking for 36 people is a phenomenal task, and if you're doing it on anything less than a professional cook stove. You're preforming miracles, and I wish you the best.   My yard work is done for the day, because I don't have to wait until Saturday to do it. I'm getting use to this mostly retired situation. The windows and doors have been open since I first got up and the yard is full of bird songs. I have the best neighbors because they don't start their noisy yard work until very late morning or early afternoon.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I took an involuntary swim wearing my quick dry hiking pants and shirt. Lifejacket not shown but present on the rock I am sitting on. Watson is dry now but I am still soaked. I capsized my kayak 5 feet from the shore trying to land on an island. Water in the pond was surprisingly warm considering it is early may in upstate New York. 
    • Mirrabooka
      @Birdie best of luck to you, my friend.   @MaeBe, nothing ventured, nothing gained! Good luck!

      Oh I will. He loves to just sleep on the couch and sleep. Not very active at all which I'm mixed about. Less to do but also want him to do more too.
