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.

      Yeah.  There are already laws against assault.  I don't think the overwhelming majority of trans women have any desire to harass cis women.  Speaking for myself, if I go into a women's washroom, it's because my eyeballs are already floating - not for kicks.  And I worry about getting clocked and assaulted by some guy being a "hero."
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Only three, maybe four, sections even mention transgender.  Most is a conservative agenda I have no problem with.   In the sections that mention transgender, there are very few lines.  Those lines ARE problematic, in every case. Unequivocally.  I can't see some of them standing up in court.  In one case a recommended policy goes against a court decision, which strongly suggests the implementation of that policy would be stopped in court.    Anyone maintaining that this is written simply to support Trump, to support him becoming a dictator, to crush transgender people is feeding you a line.  Nor is it an attempt to erase transgender people.   People will have to decide if the overall goals are worth the few problematic statements.  Overall, I support it.  Of course, I have some reservations.

      It is unfamiliar, therefore threatening.   For 90% or so of the population, gender id can be simply and quickly determined by a quick anatomical observation.  They have no understanding and cannot imagine what it would mean to have a body different from the id.  It is unimaginable.  Therefore, wrong.   So there is this strong headwind.   I haven't entered this discussion, but here is a script: A: I can't imagine what it must be to have TG. B: You're a man, right? A: Well, of course. "amused" B: Imagine you were required by law and custom to wear women's clothing all the time. A: It wouldn't happen. B: Okay, but for the sake of the argument... A: That would be disgusting.  I would be very uncomfortable. B: You have it.  That is what TG people go through all the time. 24-7-365. A: Really? B: And then they are told they are perverts for having those feelings.  The same you just described. A: I see. B: And someone comes along and tells you you need conversion therapy so you will be comfortable wearing women's clothing all the time. A: I think I would break his nose. B: You understand transgender folk better than you think.

      I have found some people correlate TG = child predator ... just as some have correlated homosexual = child predator...    I am baffled by the TG = unsafe connection ... my wife tends to think this way, that this is all about sexual deviancy ... I try to ask how my preference for wearing frilly socks with embroidered flowers and a comfortable camisole under my lavender T-shirts is sexually deviant (or sexual anything) but I don't get very far...

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.

      Other than the Boy Scout motto, oath, and law. I use two:   When asked how I'm doing? In all honesty I reply. I would have to make something up to complain. If asked to explain further: I reply. I know someone is having a tougher time than I am, and I pray God blesses them.   I also recite this quote that I have tagged in my signature: Courage, doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."-Unknown    Saying these things daily keep me motivated.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      If this goes on, I am conceding the real possibility of being stopped in WM or somewhere by a concerned citizen who tells me, "Lady, God made you female.  I don't think you should be trying to look like a man. You need to return to your true gender and be comfortable living your life out as a woman."   Begin odd and awkward conversation.  I have been thinking about this this morning.

      There are many MAGA GOP types who are not transphobes, of course. Some MAGA GOP types are transgender.

      I'm hoping to read the next section today.  Many of the reforms they are calling for are good, such as expediting the military procurement process, and have nothing to do with transgender issues.
