Good morning, everyone!  I'm off to an early start, managed to wake up before my alarm went off.  And before the baby, who is my backup alarm...  Decided to make the switch from Windows to Linux, and I began the process last night. I am so excited!

Beautiful sunshiney morning and hello to everyone!

I see folks have been up well ahead of me. I thought I was an early riser, but hope everyone already up and around has a great day. For the late risers, enjoy the morning!

I've been bogged down in my second drawing for five days now. At first I was bothered about it, then I realized this one is twice the size of the first one. I just jumped in following my instincts and that's where it went! So I'm well over halfway done, hop to get it completed in a couple of days.

My coffee is almost done and I have been piddling around on the drawing already. It's going to be a wonderful day!

I realized this morning that I am a bit depressed, with over a month of isolation and pain.  Nothing serious, but it explains my lethargy.  The news yesterday of a mass shooting in our province didn't help.

 

Anyway, today is my third re-birthday.  Three years ago today, I announced to the world that I was transitioning.  It has been a great ride since then.  Everyone has been nice to me. 

 

The hearing for my gender recognition certificate (U.K.) is the day after tomorrow.  I'll know a couple of weeks later what the outcome is.

Good Monday morning everyone 

 

So far only good news to share today.  First no bad storms here last night.  Got the engine on the sailboat yesterday.  Received a package I wasn’t expecting for two more days. Keeping busy my dysphoria has stayed away.  Last but far from least, a well known lingerie shop was having a good sale.  My wife needed to replace a couple of her bras, but it was a buy three for price.  She really only wanted two so she asked me if I wanted one. So, I’m getting a new bra.  Sometimes she really surprises me!

I heard about the incident in the Portapique, NS area last night and immediately thought of you and others that live in the province.  My heart is with you and all who live in Nova Scotia @KathyLauren.  

 

On a happy note note, congratulations on three years of freedom from hiding.  I'm glad you made it!  Big hugs for you.  I hope the hearing goes without a glitch.

Close next couple days I work. Anymore no big thing. I am to the point of I just do my job. and hope the dysphoria stays at bay. I am still waiting on the proper moment to come out at work. 

Stay strong everyone.

Good day,

Just sitting here enjoying my morning coffee looking out on sunny  Lake Erie (Canadian side). Feeling thankful for this group and all the encouragement I get (although not an active participant) from my daily visits. Although I live alone being in daily contact with my family helps to stay connected. Thank goodness for music, it helps to feel not so alone. Hope everyone is safe take care.

Hugs

It's been quite the few days here. My youngest son is in the hospital for respiratory issues, not covid 19, thank goodness! I was concerned as I spent Saturday afternoon with him. I am in my final week of my leave of absence. It will be good to get back to work.

It's going to be 71 today, perfect skirt weather!

Good (yawn) morning 

 

definitely up too early but I couldn’t sleep.  I’ve got an insect that wouldn’t leave me alone.

 

A bit on the cool side this morning but otherwise looks like it will be a really nice day.  Nothing much gong on, but I am hoping to take the boat out this afternoon.  
 

I’m going to wait a while before I make coffee today.  I hope to get some more sleep.

 

Be safe everyone.

Like a lot of you. Up early this morning too. heading to Denver in a couple minutes. Looking like 66 down there today. Would be nice to be able to dress as myself but alas no. Maybe some day.

 

Have a great day everyone. Keep safe.

How is everyone? My stimulus was taken and given to my ex wife. I was backed up in child support. So now I don’t have it. I’m doing ok though. Last night my kid said Mom said it was ok to bring her a slushy. I drove down there and had an altercation with my ex wife and her new boyfriend. Ex said I have to ask her if I want to bring something to my child and I’m not aloud to drive down and see kids on days that are not scheduled. My child had a fit as I handed them the slushy. Mom took her phone away. I provide phones for them. Anyway the boyfriend had his arm around my ex and just stood there while my ex spoke. She also has now got the door bell ringer. It’s a camera that you can access from your phone. Now she can record anytime I’m there. It’s sad when you restricted to only A Tuesday night and every other weekend for only 6 hours on Sat and Sun. I have no money to go to court to change this plus court isn’t even open right now. I drove away leaving my child crying. This was hard for me. I don’t know what kind of reaction I’m going to get today. If I would have argued a domestic dispute would have started and cops probably called. I think I did the right thing. So hard. I love my children but my ex still uses them as leverage against me. This is so wrong! What’s the harm in dropping off a drink to your kid? It’s a sad world we live in. She should give a little. She has a boyfriend now and this was the first time I’ve seen him. He said “Thank you .....” used my real name. He doesn’t know about Tessa but he does know about my female personality. I could tell he was annoyed by me being there. It was a hard night. 
 

With no Stimulus and no second job. Things are going to get tight around here. I’m doing my best. That’s all I can do. I really enjoyed seeing my children’s faces light up when I would drop them off some drinks. Now I can’t do that. Also it’s so hard for the kids. They don’t want to leave my place. I have to feel like the bad person. She gets my money, kids, house, and even a boyfriend and I’m left with restricted hours, child support, and a one bedroom apartment and single. Just so hard.......?

 

Thanks for listening.....

 

Love

So sorry that happened to you,  Tessa.

 

I think I  would have  come unglued.  Right now I am grateful that my kids are grown.

I think that it is  wrong for  all the bull that  Happens to the non custodial parent. They are subjected to all kinds of harrassment etc. Because some legal idiot's think a woman is a better parent.  Can you tell that I can't stand lawyers. But unfortunately I will be using one for my name change.

Thanks Kymmie. I was about to because my daughter is trans and my ex wife does not respect her. My ex goes with the decree using her powers if I get extra time. My kids can’t spend night because she put in decree I have to have a 2 bedroom apt. Which on my salary I can’t afford. Especially now losing second job. She has this boyfriend now that tries to take my place. I know he thanked me last night but really he is not to be involved at all! I’m working on one salary trying my best to make it. So hard! I know I’ll be ok and so will Carter. Her real name is Heather but she goes by Carter. So tough to try to keep it all together. I’m doing the best I can do. 
 

All my love

I am very fortunate that I don’t have to deal directly with divorce.  My parents honored til death do us part, and so have my wife and I, 48 years and still counting.  Unfortunately, my daughter chose to marry a lazy guy that dropped out of high school. She has her BSN.  Anyway she and he have honored their agreement except he is way behind on support.  No she lets the girls decide if they want to go to their dad on his days. Most of the time they don’t.  The only time she forces them is if she has to take a night shift at the hospital.

I could probably use a good cup of coffee because I’m still groggy after oversleeping for more than 10 hours and I’m kinda glad that even though I’m technically working today I’m not being slammed with clients calling in. I’m not sure if my brain is 100% to be able to give a really great consultation right now. And I’m very lethargic with my artwork. So off to make a 1/4 pot and try to wipe away the cobwebs. My brain is like an attic in a very old house.

I was industrious today.   I repaired a section of fence that had blown down in a winter storm.  It's an ugly temporary repair, with a post propped up and a rotten rail sistered with a new 2x4.  But it will hold until next year, when we plan to have it rebuilt.  I feel less like a slug now.

      This stuff seems to be the major talking point for "conservatives" these days.  Just shows that they don't know what they're talking about, and don't particularly care.

      Mother's Day, so I thought I'd do the right thing and cook. So, we got Chinese takeaway! 😆   Actually, we planned it days ago, just thinking that tonight we would treat ourselves. Complete with a lovely bottle of Cab Sav.
    • Mirrabooka
      Exactly.   A plain old "Good morning" should always suffice, for example, whether the recipient expects a gender specific greeting or not.

      Hi awkward yet sweet, yeah, I tried dumping her but my current health insurance keeps directing me back to her as my primary, yet there are other doctors to choose from, but they are far away.

      Hi Birdie, I can relate to that.

      This sort of stuff makes my blood boil. A prospective state politician has gained approval from his party's state council to run in their state election next year.   He once stated that the + part of LGBTQIA+ is where pedophiles are categorized.   For clarity, in Australia the Liberal party is our main conservative party. They have lurched further to the right over the past 10 years or so. Our main progressive, union backed party is Labor.   WA Liberal party approves Dr Thomas Brough, candidate who linked LGBTQIA+ community with paedophiles - ABC News

      Happy Mother’s Day    I have to be at church earlier than normal for a mic check.  I have been going over what I am to say, both silently reading and reading it aloud.  My concern is that my voice will freeze as it sometimes does.     I felt I was honored very highly yesterday by my minister and supporter on my journey.  He and another minister are Standing together to become the next co-moderators of the Presbyterian Church (USA).  They included me to receive an advance copy of their initial submission.  I was one of only 6 people listed on the email to receive this.  Later this week it will go out to all the voting commissioners that will be in Salt Lake City for the meeting.  I have asked to be allowed to attend the meeting to support him and Rev CeeCee Armstrong, whom he is standing with.    We’ll time to get ready .   Willow

      Nup. Not an option. You need to keep going and keep us all in the loop, and we need to keep seeing your beautiful smile!   Party, schmarty. I'm 61 and haven't had a birthday party since I was 30. Even that was just a crummy meal at the pub with a few friends who we have since lost contact with. Don't sweat it.

      On behalf of everyone reading your entries here @Sally Stone, THANK YOU for creating such an informative thread. But there is one thing you might have neglected to say at the end, and that is, "And they all lived happily ever after!" ❤️   Reno sounds like a pretty good place to call home. I understand the attraction of living in a place that is not too big but not too small.   I look forward to reading your subsequent posts about specific aspects of your journey.

      Hi and welcome. A few things...   1. You're right, you can't trust your friends w/r/t the question of passing. How would they even know if you pass or not? My sister used to do the same thing, telling me that no-one knew I was trans and that to her I just looked like a cis woman. I still don't know if she was serious or just trying to make me feel good, but I learned to not listen to her on that topic.   2. Buuuut, having said that, I thought I looked good, and I think that is all she was really trying to tell me, that she liked how I looked as a woman. Maybe this is obvious, but I feel it gets overlooked: passing and looking good are not the same thing, not even remotely. Your friends (I presume) are trying to tell you that you look good as you are.   3. Having said all that, I think non-passing transmascs have a harder time than us non-passing transfemmes. All I have to do to get gendered correctly 95% of the time is wear a dress and makeup and only a few seriously ignorant folks and diehard transphobes misgender me. For you, it's much harder to find signifiers powerful enough to send the same message.   So in short, I don't have any answers, except that you're right, it sucks, and I hope the situation improves over time. But passing isn't everything. Maybe you're right, and in a less conservative state it wouldn't happen so often, because you'd have more people like you surrounding you. I know that where I chose to live while transitioning has been a big part of making the process a positive experience. I'd hate to be in Texas atm.
    • Mirrabooka
      Thank you, ladies.   At the time I went from euphoric (my normal state) to not euphoric in an instant, and the lingering thought was one of self-doubt, manifesting itself with the unsolved question that maybe I never really felt like I had the soul of a woman, I just thought I did. I know I'm not the only one to ever feel this way. All part of the ride on this roller coaster I guess.   Yep, and yep. Makes sense now.
