@KymmieL that's a great quote to read with coffee this morning, so true, and it feels great to look back on transition. Nice calm morning here, it's very quiet outside, the cat is upstairs, I expect her to come down to play soon.

 

Enjoy your day everyone,

@Josie Beth Welcome back!  I hope your new business takes off.  I know it will be slow at first.  Hang in there.  


I really don’t think it’s going to take off very quickly because of the situation we are all in but it’s ok. My only real concern is that I want things to resonate with people and not just be frivolous. I’m still working on various design decisions and probably going to focus on finding several different publishers so that I can rotate designs because many of them only run for a couple of days and then if it’s not selling then it’s pulled out of the rotation. Some people pad that by buying up the first 20 of their own products to get them to print longer. I understand the artificial shortage causes people to buy under normal circumstances but people are not really interested in buying much besides toilet paper and disinfectant, masks and hand sanitizer. It’s a very weird time to try starting anything new. But since I have a lot of time to figure it out I might as well do something productive instead of binge watching everything on Netflix until severe boredom drives me insane. And I just can’t stomach more than 15 minutes of news, sometimes not even that much.

Well my “polish practice” turned out fairly well. Only had to redo two nails lol. I was going to do my toes as well but unfortunately I smashed my pinky toe on my kids LEGO box and it is quite colorful already.

Justine that toe looks like a VERY painful experience..ouch!  I had to do something with my severely overdue nails too. I’ve been having them done at the salon since last August and wasn’t looking forward to starting to paint them myself again but the salons don’t look like they’ll be opening anytime soon. With the help of my wife and some masking tape, I was able to do a pretty good job of replicating the job our salon did.  I had broke a nail about six weeks ago so I had to cut them back considerably.  These won’t last near as long as my salon nails but they’ll get me by.

That looks really good Susan! I unfortunately can’t let my nails grow that long, I keep breaking them at work.

Both your nails look nice!   Justine you might want to get cuticle sticks to work around the edges to push the cuticle back.  That way you have a nice clear definition line like Susan is showing.  Your toe looks sore.  I hope it gets well quickly.

Justine, I was breaking my nails just about everywhere. I started taking over the counter Biotin. Seems to have worked for me. Susan I am still envious of your nails. I need to start painting mine again.

 

Off work, would up getting the bike out for a small ride. Felt good to behind bars again. This biker b-witch wants to ride.

 

So the rest of the week I am closing 12-7:30. nicer closing earlier. Couldn't believe all the people we had come through the store.

@Emily michelle Sometime I don't like you very much.  LOL

Its 28*F here and quite frosty on the windshield.  Just arrived at work and it is a ghost town out there.  Everyone seems to be in good sprites with that stressed out fear underlaying everything.

Just getting threw my travel mug and sitting at my desk wondering how life will go.  I feel amazing being me but the world is shut down so I cant really be out there.  

Oh well.

I still will wear a smile and be as happy as I can.

I hope you all have a wonderful day!

I just got to one quarry in the city and traffic was normal even though they just shut down Missouri today. I was telling my wife last night I wish I was out to more people but oh well life must go on.

Don't rush yourself or your wife.  Let things happen organically.  You will know when it is time to tell all.  Its always going to be scary telling folks, especially those you love.  I can say now though I feel so free and that weight has been lifted off my soul.

Good Luck!

Your right I keep rushing it. I feel like since I know who I am now I just want to get the show on the road. But it’s a transition not a race.

Oh yes.  I did too.  You have to step back and realize you have been dealing with this your whole life.  Other have been dealing with it once you told them.  Your desire to make it all happen is at the end or middle of a long journey, but for others they are still in shock over your news.  Give it time hon.  Be patient with yourself and others.  In the end you are who you are inside and at least you know this and can look forward to your future as your true self.

Good morning. I'm jealous of everyone's gorgeous nails. I have guitarists nails that are super short.

Coffee almost done.

Warm steamy weather ahead this week. That usually means storms and even tornadoes. Not fun.

Wishing everyone a safe and happy day!

I know.  My wife keeps talking about it like I'm "flipping a switch" and it's just not like that.  At all.  Still, when it comes to coming out, there's a temptation to treat it like a band-aid that hurts less if you just rip it off...

Good Morning all. i'm just finishing my cup of joe and admiring the pics of the nails. Very nice! I work retail so I have to keep mine short. However I am now on a 30 day loa so I am going to try false ones for now.

It's going to be around 60 today and pushing 80 tomorrow.

Brandi, I too work retail. I have let my nails grow. I don't keep them long claws but longer than a mans.

 

Meta,  My wife thinks the same way that I can just flip a switch and turn my transgenderism off and on. That I just found the switch and turned it on one day.

 

almost 60 today. Of course the weather is going to be nice when I am working and crap on my days off. go figure.

Still this is a good indication that her perception and yours may not be fully aligned so take a look at how she is doing and work together!

Hello it's mid-afternoon and I'm having more coffee.

 

The neighbor kids have company and are mingling in the hallway outside my apt door.  It's strewn with their furniture like their extra living room.  Their grandma says it's stupid to social distance and we're all gonna get it anyway.  Seriously.

 

Nails are cool.  I don't have mine going now though.

April in Paris, chestnuts in blossom

Holiday tables under the trees
April in Paris, this is a feeling
No one can ever reprise

 

Good Morning all, April in Paris, but in an empty Paris, nearly dead Paris. I'm eager to get electrolyse face hair removal, to find a psychotherapist Everything's closed. Sometimes, I feel like i'm going to explode Inside. Thank you to be there. Reading you makes me feel better. A common fate, over the world. So many common points in our lives, in our childhoods. I'm not alone.

Have a good day when you wake up in few hours.

Kiss

Sophie

Good morning everyone! 
I had to mow the yard for the first time last night and I realized I need a landscaper and mower lol. Temps in the 80s today. My wife gave me some of her old bras which they don’t fit but was a nice gesture nonetheless.

hugs

Emily

      Tension is not a well-understood psychological state. It can be both positive and negative, much like stress itself. A 2015 research paper on the theoretical framework of tension notes it's an anticipatory emotional state which tends to be associated with: conflict.

      I'd love to have a dinner party with Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Voltaire, and Ayn Rand.  Would definitely be an interesting time.

      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.

      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>

      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.
