Good morning.  Glad to see you all here.

Ready for a positive productive Saturday.   Laundry, exercise, and a run to the dollar store are my plan to start. 

Take care.

Coffee with fresh bread from my nearby bakery. Mmmm. I'm in such a good mood, starting to feel better about myself and able to express my hidden inner self more, mostly thanks to the support and encouragement from all of you. You have my warmest thank you's, hugs, and deepest appreciation.

Logging out now. I think I've done enough damage. It's 9:28 pm on the second of my three days off. I'm not sure I like losing an hour to daylight savings. I'm still going to feel like I've lost something. I know it's just an hour. But at my age every second counts.

 

Good night.

 

Be safe. Be smart.

OMG I just woke up at 350am and thought it was Monday morning.  I went from zero to hero in a panic as I had no clothing picked out or ready for my first day fully presenting female at work and it will be my first early AM makeup “attempt”.  Lol.
I’m planning to give myself an extra hour until I can get better and quicker at makeup.  

Luckily I realized it’s Sunday and I still have 24 hours before I need to go to work. 
Holy crap what a relief!

I was a good "doobee" and set clocks ahead, went to bed early, now up early and enjoying the huge full moon beaming in the window while sipping my coffee.

Rumors of me being a scatter brain are only mildly accurate!

Good Morning, up with  the coffee, we checked our smoke alarm batteries :) Still on call for work, but grateful this weekend was shorter by 1 hour 

 

Have a lovely day

Congratulations on your impending milestone.  I remember what it felt like. At first getting ready can feel like a chore. You want to be flawless.  After a while it becomes all part of your daily routine. I still fuss. I have my cell phones alarm set to go off at 3pm so I'll have plenty of time to shower and put myself together. I don't apply much make-up, less is always more.

When I worked for a call center I wore a blouse,skirt and high heels to work everyday. I got my nails done every week at the Salon. They looked nice but caused me to make a lot of typos on my computer keyboard.

I hope you have a wonderful First Fem Day!

 

Be safe. Be smart.

Well a follow up, went and saw Onward (cute movie but kind of a sad ending) and instead of a hike my wife surprised me with a trip to Sephora. Got a couple different primers to try and ended up with some free mascara.

How can that be the case?  I hope what they did solves the issue.

 

Haven't been here and posting much lately as I've been well under the weather recently.  I think I'm on the mend now.

Have had a busy weekend, and today was packed full of activity - laundry, shopping, mean prep...  There's been some downtime, but mostly on the go since 7am - oops, make that 8am.  I wish we would drop this habit of messing with our clocks twice a year!  I've been having a hard enough time getting a good night's sleep without having an hour slip away during the night.  After getting the eight-year-old off to bed, my wife gave me a good-night kiss, and to my delighted surprise, she called me Misha! It felt so nice.  I thought I had found a good name that fit me, and now I know I have.

That sounds so awesome!  I've heard good things about Sephora.  I would love to do one of their tutorial thingies.  I tried eyeline for the first time yesterday, and I plainly need much more practice...

Well, I am glad you're feeling well enough to be online.  Being unwell can be such a drag.  I am just beginning to feel like I am actually winning against my own illness.  I was starting to worry that maybe I had one of those antibiotic resistant strains...

Good for him, and ggod for you!  I know it is SO very hard to quit, but it really is best in the long run (and the short runm for that matter).  I wish both of you the best!

Aaarrrgghh

Cant sleep.  
Alarm going off in 2+ hours.  
Im Excited for my first real go out in public as my true self.  Going to be a full day at work too and I will need to roam the hospital trying to locate different pieces of medical equipment to test and inspect.  So I will be very seen by many everywhere.  No hiding in my office anymore! Nervous a bit too not gonna lie.  


I just hope I get out of the door without my wife starting in on me.  
She is NOT a morning person in the best of times but she is already mad at me from our talks yesterday and I’m kind of hoping I’m still getting the silent treatment.
Plus my new morning routine has me up well before her and she claims I wake her way to early before her alarm.  From the other end of the house.  umm   Ok.  

So anyways. Wish me luck.

Sorry to hear that things are rough on the home front.  But I am wishing you well at work.  You have got this!  Enjoy your first day of work as yourself.

Zzzz***. Up at 4:15 this morning to catch my flight to Montreal.  A heck of a time to get up, but it’s for a good reason. :)

Hope you have a great day Shawna.  I remember the stress as well as the slow acceptance by others but mostly by myself.

 

Today we are forecast to have a warm sunny day.  I'm cleaning up after sugar season.  That is a long process of cleaning the evaporator and other equipment in the sugar house, then off to the woods to pull taps and flush the tubing.  Between that a plumber coming for some work in the house and a farmyard full of hungry goats with their kids i'' be a busy gal.  I'm getting a bit old but certainly am enjoying life now.

 

Hugs,

Good luck! But I believe you've got this!

Sleep continues to be difficult for me, too. Too many things bouncing around in my head. Bizarre dreams when I do sleep only to be disturbed enough by the dreams to awaken with a start. Almost every night.

But morning coffee clears the cobwebs, the sun is coming up without supervision and life goes on.

Happy Monday! ? Back to work tonight after having 3 days off. Looking forward to it cuz I'm gonna go a little different tonight. For the first time in 2 years I'm not going to wear a wig. My natural hair has gotten long enough to run a curling iron through. It took me about an hour.

Hope it looks alright.

Y'all have yourself a rooting-tooting day!

 

Be safe. Be smart.

Hi everyone 

 

I had a hard time getting to sleep last night. I suppose the nap I took in the afternoon didn’t help.

 

got up at 8, been getting up at 7 so really no change.  But made coffee and had some took my morning shower back n our bathroom for the first time in a week.  New tile floor is finally in.  Still have work to do, but it’s clean and fully functional again.  
 

sorted laundry and started the washing.  Cleaned the kitchen, emptied the dishwasher, vacuumed just a lick and a promise.  Anyway despite taking a day off from working in the bathroom I’ve had a productive morning.

 

hrt I’m taking is finally taking hold.  Body hair is growing much slower than it used too. I think there is the beginning of breast changes but that could be just wishful imagination.

 

@ShawnaLeigh I wish you a great day at work.  I’m sure everyone will be accepting and if they aren’t that’s their loss, not yours.

      Your brother is the person who has decided that "sin" is involved because he has lost control of a part of his life by you taking on your authentic self.  It is not because you have committed any Sin per se, but because he is no longer controlling your life, evangelicism or other wise.  He is using formula words and ideas hoping to re-gain that control over you.  Your Roman Catholicism vs. his choices of religion would be enough to do it in many many cases.  Your being Trans is just one more area of his losing his control.   If your brother were also Roman Catholic, I suspect he would be the same way about you on just the Trans issue itself no matter what your priests would tell him -- he has lost control of your life and is afraid he has lost control of his life.    Family members of any religion who fear loss of control will often cite scriptures they believe support their Position.  If Bible verses are needed, Matthew. 10:34-8 which speaks of division in families over religion would be a casual point directed at your brother's control issues.

      I am an evangelical  I am also transgender.  This is an issue. I have read up on it.  I am not an expert, but I have done a lot of reading.   One thing I do not get about people who take that position is that evangelicals are all about salvation by faith alone by Christ alone by grace alone - unless you are transgender.  Then you cannot be saved, these say, unless you do the work of un-transgendering yourself.  Which is, practically, impossible.  I have read the "solutions" and I don't buy them, obviously, because they do not work.    In evangelicalism salvation is by faith alone, Christ alone, grace alone, without any merit of our own.  That means, to an evangelical, we come to Christ as we are,  in the words of a glorious hymn,   1 Just as I am, without one plea, but that thy blood was shed for me, and that thou bidd'st me come to thee, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   2 Just as I am, and waiting not to rid my soul of one dark blot, to thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   3 Just as I am, though tossed about with many a conflict, many a doubt, fightings and fears within, without, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   4 Just as I am, thou wilt receive, wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve; because thy promise I believe, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   We do not clean ourselves up BEFORE we come to Christ.  We let Him clean us up AFTER we come to Him.    Those who insist that transgender people cannot be saved are actually preaching another Gospel, a Gospel of works, and have wandered away from the glorious Gospel into works.  That is strong but true.   Struggling with legalism and grace, I have found more of God's mercy and grace available to me because I struggle with being transgender and seeking His resolution of it.  Which, not having the struggle, I would not have needed to seek Him earnestly on this.

      Eventually, (especially if you start T,) things will even out. The excitement you feel is from everything being so new. Finally knowing yourself and having others recognise you can be thrilling. However, because it is your natural state of being, eventually that wears off. There's nothing exciting about it anymore because it's "just you." (Which is a perfect thing to be!) This, however, can lead to disappointment. Trust me when I say however, that that disappointment and jarring reaction to wrong pronouns will go away, and you'll once again feel comfortable in yourself.

      I love long hair. I'm wanting my hair to touch the floor. I guess we shall see how long it can get.

      I wear a wig most of the time.  But I can get by with my natural (shoulder length) hair if I wear a hat or something to cover the mostly empty top. Unfortunately that train has left the station, sigh.
