I got a late start this morning as i was up very late(early) processing maple syrup in the sugar house.  We had our first draw of the season so all the work is finally beginning to pay.  I'll be boiling today but as it didn't freeze last night then i'll get a break.

Love the flowers!

Oh yes this is a fun time.  I loved helping out during the boiling.  Which was basically drinking beer for me.  LOL

Eeep! Tomorrow is T-day! First meeting with my therapist. Kinda want to go with my makeup on, but also want to wait and see how she is first. A little nervous, but not nearly as anxiety riddled as I was talking to my MD.

Sounds good!  Adding a little makeup to your current everyday presentation would be fine and would send the message that you are serious.  Nervousness is to be expected but go in with an open mind.

Justine, if they work with individuals with gender related issues, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second about wearing makeup.  By the time they get to an actual practice of any sort, they’ve already seen it all. But just do what feels most comfortable to you...just be yourself and you’ll be fine.

Oh I am so sorry this has happened for your husband.  I wish him a speedy recovery.

I am glad for you though on your surgery   The success stories are making me look forward to my time.

 

So for me I have tons of stuff to complain about but I am not going to. Hehehe

Coffee does not seem to be agreeing with my tummy anymore and it disturbs me even saying that.  Sigh

I have my "lump" appointment tomorrow and hoping for the best outcome.  I was given a recommendation letter by my therapist and verbal recommendation by my family doctor that she will write one too if needed.  My HRT doctor I see on the 27th in which I will ask her for one too.

Hopefully I can get this Orchi and have done with this pain.

Until then I hope you all have a wonderful day!

I could of lost him,90% block and doctors were surprised he was still walking.It did give him a wake up call.He knows I had a couple stents put in a few months ago and changed things around.One was my eating habits,the bad went goodbye.So I am adjusting very well to post op life life.My family has been great,my brothers have welcomed me in as a sister in their life.They saw the painful life I went through before I did decided to transition.My parents,been a great change for them that they have a daughter now that was once their son.

It is a hard thing to have therapy rescheduled for me.  I hate looking forward to something and then being disappointed.  I'm a cry arse brat afterwards.  LOL

Finishing my last swallow of coffee.

Good morning everyone!

My therapy went well yesterday. I'll be joining in a Trans Support group next month.

Upcoming meeting to be scheduled with the Endocrinologist.

So sorry to hear about everyone's woes.

ShawnaLeigh I'm especially worried about your lump, having had a stomach lump of my own removed this summer. Please keep us posted.

Hugs to all on this dreary, rainy day.

OK @JustineM don't fret as this is just a minor bump in the road.  Reschedule, and settle back in until the date arrives.

 

@Debra Michelle I'm happy for you about your progress.  Your husband dodged a bullet it seems.  Yes he needs to stop smoking.

Oh I’m not really fretting, just a little disappointed. But if she is sick, not much one can say about that. Just going to take the day and try some new makeup stuff I saw on YouTube. After I’ve had coffee of course. ?

I posted this in more detail in my "I've got a little problem" thread in the surgeries forum.

But here's the Short version.

I finally had my appointment with the surgeon.  Bilateral Orchiectomy is schedule on Apr 13th plus all the connecting tubing running up into the torso that she can reach.  On antibiotics and pain killers for now trying to lessen the pain I am experiencing as there is a lot of inflammation going from my left side and up into my abdomen.  Nothing looks malignant according to the good blood work but they will not know for sure until they cut into it. (Yikes.)  

 

Today is my pamper day. 

I finally get the makeover and photo shoot from my therapist.  So I am hoping to have some pictures to share soon.

The only possible down side to this is it may upset my wife on this day of all days.  Though she claims she doesn't care.  We will see.

Sipping my coffee and wishing everyone a very happy valentine's day with a warm hug to seal the deal.

Gosh it's cold outside!

To think I have to be out in this when I'd rather stay snuggled up under my blanket.

Brrrrrrr.

Happy Valentine's Day! 

 

It's also garbage day, so I had to drag the compost wheelie-bin to the road, an 800-foot trek through several inches of fresh snow.  So first I had to get out the snow blower and blow out a path.  Wrestling the snow blower and then wrestling the 300 lb compost bin (4 cats produce a lot of kitty-litter!) sure gave me my upper body workout this morning.

 

Theatre tonight!  It's the second-last show of the run.  I'm going to miss it when it's over.  It's a great show.  I do lights and sound.

Happy Valentine's day all ?

 

Enjoy the Theatre tonight Kathy, does not sound like work at all, but a labor of love, brrrr stay warm.

 

Dark rainy morning here 41f (5c) currently, coffee tastes great, the vertigo I've been having lately is not an issue today, thank goodness. I noticed a friend from another board joined us here last night at Trans Pulse, I think several of us will recognize ?

 

Have a great day

Happy Valentine's Day.  I hear its Friend's Day in some places now.   Its sunny but cold here today so we get what we get.  Enjoy the day.

 

Wow @KathyLauren that's a lot of kitty litter!  I have a sloping driveway and the road is close to 200 feet from where my bins are so if its snowy or rainy I just wait a week.  

 

@Cyndee I'm glad to read the vertigo isn't an issue today.  It can be nasty.

Good morning all, this fine Valentine's day I am taking my chances with this girl I like, wish me luck. This morning I gave her a flower and stuffed animal and she loved it. I am finding my courage to ask her out!

      For one thing, the practice of putting into office wholly unqualified people simply because of racial, sexual or national characteristics.  It is no accident that Karine is a Haitian immigrant, Black and lesbian.  Kamala Harris is a Black female. Pete Buttigieg is gay.  Often you find that Biden explicitly stated that this is why he hired them, not because of competence, but because they checked so many boxes on his little list.  It makes a mockery of people and is a disservice to the US.

      I am not sure why people are in favor of unaccountable agencies with bloated budgets and wasteful spending. 
    • Abigail Genevieve
      What about it?
    • SydneyAngel
      Hey girl  I had a problem like you happen to me also. In my first year of estrogen I had a period where my level were good then they got really bad where my testosterone spike high.  I felt like you with all that disforia coming hard. Our bodies need time to adjust. The process is a real pain in the beginning. It levels out eventually and you don't even think about it. Hang in there hugs

      Biden's woke agenda?
    • KatieSC
      I wonder if there will be law enforcement procedural shows coming this fall. I can imagine Law and Order: Genital Crimes Unit, or perhaps, FBI: Domestic Genitalia. Then again, maybe they will dedicate a CSI program about the dedicated members of the Oklahoma State Police Genital Screening Unit. Good to know that those Oklahomans have their priorities squared away.

      Protections? Well, when they mandate that some who is transgender can get facial and genital electrolysis paid as it is essential to affirming care, or when they mandate and pay for facial feminization surgery, speech therapy/voice affirmation surgery, I will believe that the order is effective. One of biggest hurdles for many transgender individuals is the cost of care. I remember when my one insurance company tried to say that my speech therapy and voice surgery were "cosmetic". I remember when they blocked paying for my facial surgery. I remember the fight I had to get electrolysis. These procedures could save someone's life if the procedures help the individual successfully transition, and are no longer misgendered.

      I don't think it should be.  Nor do I see Project 2025 as pushing Christian nationalism.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      The agencies are supposed to work for him.  The problem, as conservatives found out in Trump 1, was they will ignore the president and do their own thing.  The agencies are supposed to be under his control.   Congress delegated some of its law making authority to the agencies, which is another problem.   The bloated federal government needs to be trimmed.  Dept Education is worthless - test scores have dropped since it was instituted in the Carter administration consistently, and it is currently implementing Biden's woke agenda more than doing anything else.

      I hope to eventually wear a suit for dance but don't know what exactly to look for. I feel like jumpsuit is safe option but I have been interested in wearing button up and formal pants. Is there a certain brand i should look for or sites I should look at for tips? My mom is not exactly keen on me wearing too masc clothing like suits just yet but is okay with jumpsuits. Also is there hair styling tips availible, my hair looks like image below. I might be able to get shorter haircut like pixie but am not sure yet.

      It’s never been about him, but he is the Presidential nominee for the Presidency that starts in…2025. I don’t see a lot of conflation that this is a “Trump doctrine”, it a doctrine that benefits him surely, but it is a plan to instill crony governance and enact very Christian conservative (if not purely Christian nationalist) “order” on the country. If you don’t see this as the Right doubling down on Big G government, I don’t know what to tell them. Getting rid of agencies and giving the authority directly to the Executive isn’t shrinking government. It’s consolidation power. 
    • MaeBe
      It is the made up ideology they believe trans people are pushing on the world, those “poor young girls who are being coerced into believing they are men” and the “perverts who put on dresses and think they’re girls”. The anti-LGBTQ+ movement came up with the term. Being trans = you believe in trans ideology/transgenderism, supporting trans people = the same.   In the end anyone that acts on or thinks gender is anything but what is in your pants is a “transgenderist”, why not make it a word if it’s not, there is no real grey area. Unless you acknowledge there is transgenderism, but use your knowledge to “correct it”.  So I guess there could be transgenderist conversion “therapists”.  Face it, we deface the America they want. Land of the Free and Home of the Brave? I think being out and queer is pretty brave. And freedom shouldn’t just be for those who push a narrow “Christian ideology” as the “true” governing model.

      Rants are not a problem.  My favorite hobby! :)   What's out there is bad enough that I wonder why some people feel they need to embellish it.  Be alert.   Some of this will need to be fought in court if they try to implement it. If people are out to get me, paranoia is justified.  And this may not be the only document.   Abby
    • Ivy
      Not in so many words, therefore it's not there at all.  Excuse my paranoia. And the states passing laws against us are nothing to worry about either. Having to change my gender back to male (like in Florida) is reasonable.  I should just accept it, I mean I was born with a dk.  So that "F" is lie, and a fraud.  My delusions need to be dealt with for my own good.   I'm just frustrated these days.  Just a bit of a rant.
