Hi everyone! Haven’t posted much I’ve been playing catch-up at work since I was off for Covid. I had my endocrinologist appointment yesterday day my T levels dropped way down almost to the proper level.

 

Glad to hear you're back on your feet after that. And congrats on low T!

Since I'm always looking for results I've been thinking my skin is somewhat smoother in places, since you read about that one a lot. But realizing I should have done a better audit of how rough my skin was before I started cause I don't know if it's real. That's your tip of the day for everyone contemplating HRT but not underway yet!

 

Off to make second cuppa of the day.

Rhonda I think my skin is starting to get smoother. I’ve noticed my face is starting to fill out especially my cheeks.

It's like I was driving the train down this track, but now it's driving me.  I don't know what I would even go back to at this point.

 

Yup, that's exactly the feeling. 

 

@Emily michelle glad you got over covid with no more issues. Congrats on you low T and progress! It's good to see you all moving forward and feeling good about it.

Hi everyone

 

Sitting here watching the clock for time to log in for my therapy appointment.  Since Y'all been talking about injections, I was quite surprised about how easy my first E injection went.  the only hard part was getting it out of the syringe.  The oil is hard to push.  The needle was a piece of cake.  I know you will look at the needle and your leg and think about it but try not to.  Just go for it.

 

Pay attention to the nurse showing you what to do, there are important aspects to injecting oneself that you don't want to forget.  getting an infection from not having a sterile field would not be a good thing.

 

I got my ears pierced at a store but I'm thinking I'd like to have a second ear piercing in each lobe.  probably won't do that any time soon however.

 

Rainy day.  We are getting the outer most rain bands from Eta as she travels north.  No longer a tropical storm but bringing us over three inches yesterday and today combined.

Had problems with my speech appointment. I was logged in She was logged in but didn't connect us.

 

Shots, they are a pain. Ha ha. Serious, I had to give myself shots of blood thinners when I had my blood clots. Thankfully it was a small needle and medicine wasn't thick. Now my blocker shots, It is a thick med and uses a large needle. That one I don't do myself, the nurse has to work it to get it to flow.

 

Things are OK. Brain is only at sub light right now. So nice an mellow.

 

Hugs

Hi, back from my session.  Pouring most of the day today.   
 

We are going shopping tomorrow.  I need needles for my sewing machine and I’m going to buy a Viking ankle for my Singer.  That will allow me to use some of the special feet that my wife has for her Viking machines. There is a very small difference between the machines because they are both owned by the same company.  
 

since I am sewing very heavy fabric I need very large needles and they are hard to come by, impossible locally.


Oh, needles, guess that’s the topic of the day.  Sorry. lol

good morning!

 

so whose staying in bed today? After all, it’s 2020 and Friday the thirteenth!  What a combination.  
 

Bad day to be a Templar.  I have a Sinclair in my family tree, but no Roshbechal’s as far as I know.
 

Historically a good day for me.

 

Be careful out there and be wary of Frenchmen with swords today.

Friday, Nov 13th was the day my family left Glasgow, Scotland to move to Canada, 56 years ago.  Not a bad day at all. :D

Good morning everyone,

 

Happy Friday. I'm off work today just like every Friday the 13th. I don't do it for any religious or superstitious reasons. It's just easy for me and my employer to remember.

 

I have a fun-filled day planned. I have to drive down to the city and pick-up new meds, get bloodwork and then training for the new meds.

Pretty much as soon as I get back we have another 5-6 houses to go see today. This house hunting thing is starting to get old.

 

Have a great day everyone.

So I might have to fire my chiropractor.

 

I was just in their office and, out of five people, one had no mask at all and two more (one an employee) wasn't wearing theirs correctly. I let the chiropractor know and I'm giving them one more chance because I like them, but I'm high risk and cannot be around that kind of thing right now.

 

Ugh. Venting. I hope everyone else is having a better day than I am.

 

Hugs!

A lot of that around here too.

I was talking with my ex yesterday.  She said they were just doing everything like "normal" - going out to eat etc.

We're both seniors of course, and her boyfriend has serious heath issues on top of that.

People don't take it serious.

I hear your vent, and I raise you one aargh!  What is so hard to understand about this?  My electrologist has to follow strict rules, that are even stricter now with the pandemic.  She imposes strict rules on her clients.  Don't want to comply?  Fine, let your hair grow!  "No shirt, no shoes: no service" is now "No shirt, no shoes, no mask: no service".

 

I hope you are able to persuade your chiropractor to smarten up, or to find a better one.

Moi aussi!

Including a rather nice sword that I'm fond of, but I prefer my cutlass for most things - skill level in wielding it is a lower bar to achieve.

Hugs,

I have a big 'ol Scottish broadsword with some lovely Celtic knotwork on the blade. It's completely serviceable and combat-ready. Or would be if I every bothered to sharpen it. It's heavy as heck though so I could easily beat somebody to death with it if I had to. My skill level is basically, "She knows which end to hold." I'm a menace! ... there is no berserker emoji. This makes me sad. We'll have to go with...

In reality Friday the 13 has always been a good day for me as well.  I went on active duty Air Force, I received a promotion and a transfer I wanted, and I graduated from college.  
 

I am a Scot, my ancestors are some of the most celebrated in Scottish history going back to around the 800s. 

hopefully I can get this file loaded it is of an antique fighting knife.  As for the date they left Scotland for Prince Edward Island CA I don’t know.  I do know they traveled on the Curlew in 1818.

      happy trans birthday! I can't speak personally on the subject, but I hope hormones bring you the changes you're looking for <3 
    • MaeBe
      That’s super healthy, to see that something that becomes common has less effect on you and that you are able to decipher these feelings.   Sadly, this trend tends to only deaden good feelings as we tend not to let bad feelings attenuate the same way.   I have noticed less euphoria, but still feel the dysphorias that I have. Sometimes the good sneaks in and reminds me, but often time it’s just me seeing myself in the mirror and being comfortable about what I see when embracing my realized self. I may not get the same buzz I once did, but I don’t feel incongruous when looking at a more “drab” reflection.    Wishing you strength, you are amazing!
    • KayC
      Congratulations! and Happy Trans Birthday @LittleSam! That is such a BIG milestone.  I can still remember walking out of my clinic with my first HRT presciption.  I was on Cloud-9.  Wishing you all the best in the start of your new Journey!
    • missyjo
      maebe thank you I try to be. I thank God for blessings, try to share them, beg forgiveness for my shortcomings n vow to try to do better...2 priests have said no, God doesn't condemn you just for being trans...but apparently evangelicals do   I shall vtry dear thank you  
    • MaeBe
      Meet him at the being good to others part of Christianity. At the heart of it, there are excellent tenets of the faith. Those that condemn are judging, Jesus would have us be selfless; stone casting and all that. Are you a good person? Are you putting good into the world? If your gender is an issue for God, let God judge. In the mortal realm, let your actions be heard. 
    • missyjo
      and just fi sweeten it..I'm catholic n he hasn't been for years..he's evangelical..whatever that is
    • MaeBe
      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
    • RaineOnYourParade
      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!
