ugh coffee is not working today. No energy what so ever. Nephew is supposed to be over here in a little bit to role play. Going to escape to a Galaxy far far away. 
 

@ShawnaLeigh I hate when that happens, I’ve been known to run out the door and nearly be to the car before I realize the day lol

I had to reread your post. I first thought you meant your coffeemaker was not working! That has happened to me, it sucks.

But drinking coffee with no effect? Did you check to make sure it wasn't decaf?

Hope things "perk up" for you!

@TammyAnne We use Black Rifle Coffee Company, I don't think they even make Decaf LOL.  Thankfully the coffeemaker hasn't quit just yet, though it might be on the way there.  That would qualify as essential for travel right? :)

Well so far no call from my middle son saying the baby is coming. Of course my daughter in law said she will hold him in so he won't be born today. It is my wife's birthday. And my new grandson has to have his own day. Tomorrow is the due date, If he takes after his father he will come in another week.

Best wishes for a safe birth and healthy baby @KymmieL.  On Monday your son will get the day off that he wouldn't get on Sunday!

I really wish the pride centre would re-open soon. I know it's for the best, with the virus and all, but I just want to be around people who are of similar age.

Good morning everyone. Just headed to work luckily I still get to go to work after they issued a stay at home order.

Hi everyone 

 

what a strange weather year we’ve all had so far.  Our temperatures dropped over forty degrees Fahrenheit in the past 36 hours and are rebounding back up again in the next two days. 
 

The virus is really causing a lot of trouble for the world. Every day the news delivers more spread, death and closings.  I know it is difficult to handle dysphoria when you can’t be with others where you can express yourself and listen to others but we are all going to have to use this forum and our remote friends to get through this together.

 

stay home and stay safe.

I was not feeling well at all over the weekend but today I feel 1000% better.  Still have an ache in my right ear but the rest is gone. 

Or

Its the Dayquil making me feel this good.  

I'm able to chew at least.  LOL

 

Coffee gone AND YES I AM AT WORK.  Unfortunate I am the only Biomed Tech who works in two hospitals that collectively have 11 clinics associated with them and they need like 4 Techs but I am it so I am busy busy.  

 

Hope you all have a safe and wonderful day!

Shawna, you and me both are  needed at work.  They say we are an essential business.  Don't really know about that.  

However I have the coffee cooking in the big percolator.  Should be  ready soon.  

 

Still  no word on the baby front. I guess it is a waiting game now. 

 

Can't believe the lack of traffic  lately it is almost creepy.  Everyone stay safe and healthy. 

 

Hugs, 

Kymmie

This might be coming from higher up...same thing here in Washington State.  I was doing this anyways due to the high infectious rate here.

Coronavirus: Gov. Inslee orders statewide shutdown of restaurants, bars; further limits gatherings

There is nothing higher up.  Governors are in charge!  Federal government isnt doing anything...

Good morning.

 

Had my coffee but realized I only have enough for one more day!  Our County Sheriff's department announced that they would deliver prescriptions to seniors.  Anybody know how I can get a prescription for coffee?

 

Rainy day with thunderstorms expected later.  I never do well when I am stuck inside.  Yes, there are things I should be doing but they are all outside.

Caffeine is a drug.  So check the pharmacies.  LOL

Well today started sans coffee, I dropped the pot ?. Thankfully I was able to stop after work and get a new one.  Our shelter order goes into effect tomorrow morning, but thankfully I will still be able to work.  Technically I'm employed indirectly by the Federal Reserve, so as long as services are open that need money I will be rolling.  Which is a blessing and a curse, I'm still working so I'm still getting paid but I'm out and exposed.

OMG @Emily michelle it was 7*F at my house this morning!  I'm about done with being half froze all the time.  Though it does lock up all the mud here when its this cold.  VT is in the thick of Mud Season.  LOL

Long drive to work this AM heading into NH with hot coffee and very loud music.  I think I can sing good or something, but apparently not that good as I have to drown out my own voice with the volume.  LOL

The craziness continues out there and I am hoping all my friends here are staying healthy and safe!

Have a wonderful day!

In the 40s here, foggy but supposed to be sunshiney today.

Regardless of the weather there's nothing so good as that first sip of coffee in the morning.

I'm feeling antsy with the "social distancing" thing going on. I had so wanted to meet a nice guy, be held and cuddled for as many hours as the day is long. Instead I had a "telephone date" with a guy I'd met who told me he thought I was strange and not in the least bit pretty. Crushed. Totally crushed. I at least thought I had pretty eyes.

So it's literally back to the drawing board.

I can scribble away the aching need inside for a while.

TammyAnne I'm so sorry that your date turned out to be a <water balloon> bag. keep your chin up and smile. 

Well still no news on the baby front. But my daughter in law has a Dr appointment today and the Dr may induce either today or tomorrow.  He is as stubborn as his father. He was later too, and had to be induced.

 

Well new on the work front. We are now closing at 7:30 instead of 9. We have slowed down quite a bit. I did get my hall pass yesterday. A letter stating that I worked for an essential business and can be out. in case of a shelter in place order comes. 

 

Waiting on coffee again. On my closing shift days and days off I should set up the coffee pot and just turn it on once I get up.

 

Keep healthy and happy, everyone.

 

Hugs

Ouch @TammyAnne that was not just mean but down right rude.  I would never say that to another human being even if I did not think they were the least bit attractive and I am dead sure honey you do have pretty eyes!!!!

I am floundering around myself with this very topic.  I have caused quite a stir in my circles and have been attracting some weirdos recently.  I guess every girl need to practice being a bitch at one time or another. (wink wink)

I main just politely refuse them but some of them are persistent.  Like that is attractive?!?!  Not to me anyways...

So keep your head up and keep smiling.  Be your best most positive self and that my dear is what your soul mate will lock on to.

At least that's the advice I am telling my self as I go to bed lonely every night.  LOL

Honestly I am in no position to date anyways.  I need to get passed this divorce and learn more about who Shawna really is.

Well that guy obviously wasn't worth your time. That's just not something you tell a lady. Ever.

 

On the bright side, all experiences are good experiences in the sense that they can inspire your art. The next guy will probably be better. They teach them to be gentlemen in the south, right? ?

 

Hugs!

The phone guy is the odd duck.  I would’ve said to him, “Oh stop! Hon, You had me at...You’re Strange!” and promptly hung up on him.  So much for chivalry.  Some people just don’t know how it works. Sorry you had to deal with this idiot. Dating isn’t always fun.

 

I’m home (isn’t everyone?) and having a very late morning with scrambled eggs with bacon bits and a vanilla caramel mocha. Mmmmm... the added vanilla works so well with my usual caramel mocha.  My wife loves it too.

 

Anyways, I’m in a really good mood despite the world going to ‘hell in a hand basket’. Yesterday morning, I found a new therapist for another letter of recommendation for GRS as my surgeon requires two letters.  She said she’s booked right now but will call me back if she has any cancellations.  Well late last evening, she emailed me and said she has an opening this week. She will do the therapy via video but needs to see in person once initially ...this Friday!!  I am so happy about this.  I was hoping it could all be done via video conference method but she did say her office is sterilized between patients and she now inserts a 15 min. gap between every patient’s scheduled visit.  I feel good that I’m able to move forward on this road to my surgery even if it’s in a very small step.  Most of the other things in my life are on holding pattern so finding this therapist and getting this all lined up yesterday has really helped.

 

Hope everyone is doing OK..hang in there!

Susan R?

Thank you for the encouraging words @KymmieL @ShawnaLeigh @Jackie C. @Susan R I'm recovering my happy self, but it sure stung at the time.

I'm determined I can do better and deserve better.

I seem to get a lot of friend requests from weirdos too. When the written English is very badly broken but they claim to be from nearby, alarm bells go off for me.

WOW yeah I couldn’t do 7 degrees. We only get that a few times a winter which is perfectly fine by me because I’m a field mechanic so I spend all my time outside. We have had no shortage of mud I’m so sick of it lol.


Tammy I’m sorry your date didn’t go well. I’m sure it will get better just keep your head up. I give you a lot of credit I couldn’t do it if I had to start dating I had insecurity issues before I got married and I know I couldn’t do it now.

      Let’s stick to cite-able fact. Most of my posts have been directly in relation to LGBTQ+ rights as it pertains to P2025 and I have drawn direct links between people, their quotes, and their agenda. I have made reference to the cronyism that P2025 would entail as well, by gutting, not cutting, broad swathes of government and replacing it with “conservative warriors” (I can get you the direct quote, but rest assured it’s a quote). All this does is constantly force the cogs to be refitted, not their movement. To say that agencies have directly defied a President is a bit much, the EPA did what Trump told them to do at the direct harm to the environment, the department of agriculture did the same by enacting the administrations forced move to KC which decimated the USDA.      How about Betsy DeVoss for Education? Or Bannon for anything? What about the revolving Chief of Staff position that Trump couldn’t stay filled? Or the Postmaster General, who did much to make the USPS worse?   Let’s not mix politics with racism, sexism, or any other ism. Because Trump made mainly white, male, appointments—many of them not, arguably, people fit for service—or unwilling to commit to term. I can argue this because, again, he’s up for election and will do what he did before (and more of the same, his words).   Please delineate how the selected diversity appointments have negatively affected the US, other than being black, women, or queer? Representation matters and America benefits when its people are inspired and empowered.

      When I first started figuring things out, I got a lot more euphoria. Every time a friend would use he/they pronouns for me, I'd get this bubbly feeling, and seeing myself look masculine made me really happy. Dysphoric state felt more normal, so I guess I noticed the pain it caused me less.   Now, it's more just that my pronouns and such things feel natural, and dysphoria is a lot stronger -- I know what's natural, so experiencing the opposite is more jarring than everything. The problem is, most of my natural experiences are from friends, and I rarely get properly gendered by strangers, much less by my family. I've found myself unable to bind in months due to aches, colds,, and not wanting to risk damage.    It partially makes me want to go back to the beginning of my journey, because at least then I got full euphoria. I'm pretty sure it'll be like this until I medically transition, or at the very least get top surgery (you know all those trans dudes online with tiny chests? Not me, unfortunately). It's a bit depressing, but at least I know that, eventually, there's a way out of this.
    • RaineOnYourParade
      Major mood, right here ^^^    I've listened to Lumineers to a long time (a major portion of it by osmosis via my mom), so that is almost painfully relatable

      As for getting a button-up/formal pants suit, you can try to talk to her more -- Cis women in tuxes have worn tuxes in recent years, after all, (for example, Zendaya) so it can still be a relatively safe topic. For jumpsuits, I'd recommend going with a simple one with a blazer, if you can -- this'll make it look overall more masculine. There's a lot of good brands, but going for one without a lot of extra glitz on it will make it look less feminine under a blazer. I don't know many specific brands though since I usually just get my stuff from chain stores, sorry :<   When it comes to your hair, if you can't cut it, you can look up tutorials on fluffing it up instead. If you can pull it off, it can look a lot shorter and more androgynous instead!

      As far as I'm aware, he wasn't -- he just sometimes wore skirts, which was why it was a question in the first place.   In my opinion, part of that is because of the way press spares attention on issues like that. As a bit of a true crime nut and what I see: Child predator cases' (and cases of a sexual nature in general) press focus on those with an AMAB perpetrator generally, and very rarely are AFAB perpetrators given much press time or even getting tried due to a whole bunch of issues I'm not gonna get into. Because of this, when you see these types of cases and a boy is the victim, it's almost always a queer person who is the one who committed a crime that gets press. Therefore, with the amount of cases seen with this type of perpetrator (and due to the fact "99% of queer people are not sexual criminals" doesn't attract eyes), the human brain can kind of naturally makes an association with it. It's not right, but it's also a fault I think falls partially on the media.   That's all my opinion, though!   This is extra confusing to me, as a feminine man is usually viewed as gay. If someone is refusing the acknowledge the existence of trans people, then gay would be the societal connection that comes after, I think. So, that sorta implies that trans women wouldn't be interested in women in the first place by those assumptions? Of course, trans lesbians exist (most trans women I know like women, actually), but it's a little ridiculous to me that people will deny trans people's existence, call all feminine AMAB people gay, and say that trans people are looking to peep all in the same breath.   Wow, this was a lot longer of a response than I was planning to write--

      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.

      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

      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.
    • KatieSC
      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.
