Good morning everyone. A little under the weather this week with a sinus infection. Got a prescription for hrt this week ?. Going to fill it this weekend after another attempt at a discussion with my wife.  Kettle’s on, tea will soon be steeping and I’m looking forward to the weekend. 
 

Have a great day everyone. *hugs*

Good morning SaraAW and everyone! Tis sinus trouble time, cold outside and dry heat inside will mess with my sinus's every year too. Heading out to see the VA endocrinologist for my annual tune up and BS session. Made a point of not stuffing myself last night for the second year in a row at practicing self control. There was a time when I could out eat and out drink even the most debaucherous Romans, glad I finally grew up and got past that behavior.

Good Morning , afternoon and evening! 

I am Thankful for not having to drive in the pouring rain like I did last night. I drove my friends sister to the airport last night, and it was poooouring rain! I thought i was back in NC! lol. It was so bad on one stretch of the freeway, everyone had to slow down to 30-40 mph, cause the rush of water was causing the cars to hydroplane. It snowed up in Julian, so if it snows again next week, I might take the ladies up there for their first real snow. It's a treat anyway, cause the small town is famous for their apple pie and cider. Julian apple pies are famous around here. They have their own local orchards.

We used to go to a Christmas tree farm and cut our own, they always had a big tent and served hot apple cider with cinnamon to warm up with by the wood stove. Was kind of fun!

Remember there is always room for Jell-o, LOL.

Ah, which reminds me of Adventures With My Refrigerator:

Question:  What's the difference between red Jell-o and green Jell-o?

Answer: Two weeks ?

That does sound like fun.

For a while we used to cut out own tree. Now we just have an artificial one. I am the type of person who could care less about Xmas. I guess it is from the military, spent many holidays at work. Now just doing it for the wife she likes it and the kids/grandkids.

Don't know if I'll do anything for the holidays once I am me. I guess time will tell. However have to get an ugly Xmas sweater. that is a must.

A nice looking pie! Yum! yum!

 

Just drinking my morning coffee here. I need it today after getting the car out and giving it it's weekly check. Blowing up the types was a bit of a problem as it is cold (white over with frost) so in a couple of minutes my hands were getting so cold I couldn't handle the pump connection properly and lost the pressure I had just put in LOL

Coffee, pie and ice cream!

Yum.

Well I've got the coffee at the moment. Managed to stay away from the parking lot crazies for black friday, working on another drawing.

It's been a bit chilly here in the Ozarks, but at least winter hasn't hammered us like some parts of the country.

I'm dreading actually setting foot in stores until January. It's crazy time for shopping. I don't like crowds or being jostled. Going to be a tough month.

I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Hugs, big warm hugs!

That pie looks lovely!  I'm having my usual oatmeal and blueberry breakfast.  I spent yesterday with a chainsaw on top of the sugar house roof carefully removing a huge branch from a dead ash tree.  It crushed the stem vent, snapped the ridge and poked holes in several locations.  I had time to start rigging tarps and patches before the snow storm coming tomorrow.  The insurance company is sending a contractor to do an estimate.  Depending on the estimate and schedule i may do the repairs myself.  I built the sugar house 30 years ago and an so pleased that it was strong enough to protect the evoporator and other expensive equiptment we use.  It's times like this that i don't regret the time i had as a male builder!  The old gal can still do the work  but i'm certainly slower.

 

Hugs,

Oh, as a confirmed Real Maple Syrup Addict, I love visiting New England sugar houses!  I never get tired of the wonderful process of turning sugar maple sap into delicious products...all with precise temperature and time in the evaporator.  It's an amazing and fun thing to watch -- and in your case, to do!

 

Here's hoping the shack will be in working order by February and March!

 

Best,

Happy bright morning to all!

Wind blew like mad last night, so I slept poorly wondering if the house was going to fall apart.

At any rate, coffee, then studio time. I've got to buckle down and get some work finished!

Had our coffee.  The wind is just starting to pick up here so the rain can’t be far behind it.

It’s windy here too. I’m up earlier than I had planned but I have things to do today so it’s probably a good thing. I don’t know how I’m going to get it all done but I’m going to give it a go. One of my biggest obstacles is updating my phone because it keeps getting the connection reset so I’m not sure where I can find WiFi that’s going to cooperate. I’m starting to really get annoyed with Apple because of their 150 mb limit on using cell data for downloading. So I have to have WiFi. Last night after 2+ hours trying to use just WiFi and then my laptop with iTunes I gave up. No matter what the connection reset every time at around 250 mb and it doesn’t save progress it starts all the way over. Not a happy moment. 

 

Now for the good news. I’m starting work tomorrow!!! And today I finally managed to get rid of that pesky thing I was trying to sell on Craigslist. I didn’t get what I wanted for it but I’m happy that I don’t have to look at it anymore. It’s a symbolic victory. It was one of those things that became a depressing reminder of the past and I had to let it go. So the money was less important than getting rid of it. 

 

I really should get ready so I can leave and go donate plasma again. At least I have been able to make some money to help keep me from being totally broke but it’s just going towards rent anyway so it’s not time for any shopping sprees. By Friday I should be ok, but I’m not sure how long they can wait at the rental office. So for now I’m just keeping my head above water.

That is good news Josie, we all want the best for you and you're the one that has to make it happen!

      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>
    • Abigail Genevieve
      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.

      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?

      Oh yes. It was not fun cleaning it up but he is better.
