Good evening 

 

Tis the season that I traditionally have high levels of depression.  I know I am not alone.  But, I’m doing better right now than most years.  
 

went with my wife to her quarterly doctors appointment.  I was surprised that the doctor knew exactly who I was since this is the first time he’d ever seen us together and with masks on.  
 

she and I had a good conversation this afternoon.  She showed me a video Bible study she watches.  Said God told her to show me. I won’t get into it other than to say it was about fear of rejection.  As a group who tends to be worried about rejection more than we are?  I told her the one rejection that worries is her.  Her response was we are beyond that .  She accepts me.  We talked about the past, things like how I felt rejected by my father and how I currently believe my parents knew but kept it from me.

 

anyway there were tears shed.

 

Mindy take care of yourself 

 

Bri, I guess we are all going to get a what the comment when someone catches use in a situation that they embarrass themselves.  Good laugh it off story but also a good time to seek protection.

 

Everyone if you are in the path of this winter storm. Be careful and stay home if you can.  
 

hugs

Well could be a dilemma. Today I get an email. from the Police department where I put in for the evidence specialist position. They want to do a phone interview, Jan 5. I made the appointment for 12:30.

 

I have yet to hear anything from the school. Any number of things they can be doing. Back ground Check. ETC. Or just let's let her squirm some.

 

Anyway I am doing alright. I had a little hard time this morning before I went to work. I was thinking of having a letter to all three of my boys. Telling them the whys and what fours of me moving away. That it was their mom that drove me away. That no matter what ever happens between us. I will always love them. and their families.

 

OH, just great the water works have started.

 

I know when I write those letters It will take me hours on each as I will be crying so much that I can't see straight.

 

Hugs, All

@KymmieL hang in there and cry as much as you want and need. A job interview sounds great. The more options the best. I know especially now that any opportunity is wonderful. Don't read into the school. People have a lot to do and I have found when we humans try to speculate on something we think best case or worst case and more of the time it is neither. Keep trying the right outcome will come.

@Bri2020 that outfit looks great.

 

Today I had a -what the heck- moment. I had just spoken to my partner and was hot footing it back to the house (bare feet, hot pavers, Australia you get the picture) when I caught the reflection of this woman running towards the sliding door. I nearly tripped as my brain slowly caught up THAT IT WAS ME, !!!

Not particularly fetching in shorts and T-shirt though, It was a shock nonetheless.

Had a giggle about the almost falling over in the driveway because I don't recognise myself.

 

Stay warm everyone, the warm days are starting on this side of the pond.

 

Hugs

Good morning all!

 

@Bri2020 You look great!!

 

@Willow So glad you and your wife are getting closer. Those conversations are gold to rebuild intimacy and closeness

 

@KymmieL A good dilemma to have! Congrats on your new oportunity and every luck for your interview on Jan

 

@Robin.C LOL That's wonderful. Congrats for your hard work to get here :) 

 

I'm doing good. A bit in a kind of limbo space between who I thought I was and who I can be - but am not yet. Way more calm than I was a few months back (you all in this forum and my therapist to thank for that), and trying to love myself no matter what, even if this limbo space.

 

Have a very nice day

Good morning all,

 

Today's the big day. In 3 hours I'm signing my life away and will officially be home owner. I nerve though it would happen but here I am.  I will be leaving the remnants of the guy behind. There's nothing left of him but a empty worn-out shell.

 

After we sign the papers we have to goto my MIL's house to pick up a few things. I'll also be getting the clothes she offered. My wife doesn't know yet. I'm hoping it'll ease some of her stress but will probably be a train wreck.

 

I have a co-worker offer me some clothes yesterday. She's bored with them and cleaning out her closet. I've told her a few times how much I love her outfits and style. Guess it's paying off. I would have been happy just knowing where she shops but no, I get some of the actual clothes.

 

Another co-worker has a collection of purses. She gets them from  her mother who buys them whenever they're on sale. She offered more that once to give me a couple and I usually decline. This time I accepted but asked her to decide whatever she though I would like.

 

Well, I'm off to start the process have to do the final walk-through in 1-1/2 hours.

 

Have a great day everyone.

Good morning 

 

wow, what a strange day and it’s only just begun.  I guess my girl hormones are kicking in.  I had a cry for no reason.  Still tearing.  
 

rainy day here but no offense that beats the snow my daughter is getting today, any many of ya’all too.  
 

@KymmieL being able to make a choice is a good thing.  Don’t forget schools are about to shutdown for up to two weeks.  So they have a lot on their plate to get done.

 

@Robin.C you are luck that woman in the door didn’t walk straight into you. 
 

have a great day.

@ElizabethStarGood luck with everything today! How exciting and nerve-wracking all at the same time. Cheering for you!

Also secretly jealous of the clothing offers, I hope you find some great pieces! I was talking with some girlfriends last night and now I'm obsessed with sweater dresses. I need a super cozy one for this snow we're about to get here later today.

Now what happened to my coffee?

 

Love,

~Audrey.

I have a friend that used to run a "Hippy Boutique" that unfortunately didn't make it.  She has helped me out a lot with clothes and purses/bags.

Hope your house business works out well for you.

 

Just cold rain here today.  We're just south of where the ice happens.  Someone sent a pix from Winston-Salem, were they were getting a glaze.  

I would prefer snow to ice any day.

 

Stay warm y'all.

@ElizabethStarCongratulations on new homeownership! Wishing you and your wife all the best with the upcoming move. So exciting... even though I'm sure it was hard to part with all that hard-earned money at once.

 

Back to making vegetarian black bean chili and cornbread for dinner. Perfect for this snowy night! 

 

Love,

~Audrey.

Good evening.  Congratulations @ElizabethStar to you and your wife.

 

well you never get too old to worry about your kids.  Been watching my daughter make her way home through ice and snow.  The hospital where she works is 50 minutes on a good day.  Its been over 90 minutes and she isn’t home yet.  Ice, snow, mountains, snowplows.  She’s usually home about 9’15, it’s 10’30.  Oh and I’m over 400miles away, so I can’t help her except to tell her where the road delays are according to state maps that show incidents and slow traffic. Plus I can see traffic cameras.

 

Until tomorrow

@ElizabethStar welcome the the new group of home owner. One that I am NOT a member of. probably never will. It is a dream but I feel it will never come true.  Congrats on the new place. 

 

So when is the house warming party?

Thank you everyone. I've already met one of my next door neighbors and saw another. We haven't exchanged names yet. It was more of a grocery store conversation. Today more schlepping.

I didn't think I could do it either but I didn't have a choice. The house we're renting now is going up for sale in a couple of weeks and we couldn't afford to buy it. Sorry Kymmie, no plans for a party yet.

      I made the pumpkin pie this morning.  I like getting older and getting better at making this pie crust.  I've never purchased a pre-made pie crust.  I make 3-4 pies a year.  Mostly pumpkin pies, but apple and blackberry when those come into season.  For about 15 years, I was buying about 2 medium carving pumpkins a year and cooking/pureeing them and putting them in 2c measurements into the freezer.  I started getting lazy a few years ago and am just doing cans of pumpkin now.

      My parents didn't show me my birth certificate until I started going to school, in the meantime until that happened,   I was mostly seen wearing boys' clothes, but my mannerisms mostly female without the use of hormones. My parents thought I was going through as phase, until one day things took a physical turn in my puberty years, which resulted in a family car ride to the hospital emergency. I had my share examinations, treating doctors could not come up a diagnosis what was happening to me. I would soon discover I was born with a hidden variation or undescended, which could had been ovaries inside. Things got to the point which resulted in surgery, I didn't know about. I asked for my surgical medical records, but access denied. So, I live with a surgical scar, and take medication.

      It's something John Green said somewhat recently referring to the Emily Dickenson poem "Hope Is the Thing With Feathers." The poems first stanza reads   “Hope is the thing with feathers - That perches in the soul - And sings the tune without the words - And never stops - at all -"   It's a beautiful and helpful poem, but what was life changing for me was what John Green said in relation to the poem. "Emily Dickenson doesn't say that one never stops hearing the song of hope, only that it doesn't stop playing... The song of hope is still singing. And I know you can't hear it, but one day soon you will."

      I don't even need half a hand to count mine.  A combination of Protestant prudery, total lack of sex education, and my being the wrong gender.  And, it turns out, asexual, though that may be a product of the other factors.
    • ClaireBloom
      That's a great suggestion. One thing I did was start a Pinterest board.  If I see something I like, I pin it without overthinking it too much.  Eventually a pattern emerges of the kind of clothes that appeal to me.  I'm very concerned about being age and venue-appropriate so I concentrate on more "everyday" outfits rather than the sexy stuff.  Not that the sexy stuff isn't fun though.....

      Thank you, @Vidanjali! I'm in the process of applying to universities to transfer to (I got to a local community college currently), and I've got my eye on a specific one but I'm apply to 2-3 more just in case.  I'm also trying to apply for a job!  Another minor update is that I'm able to purchase trans tape now! I got it in blue because I like colors and pink was sold out, but hopefully the adhesive reacts well to my skin and I can use it to bind. This is another weapon I may have in the ongoing battle with dysphoria, but I think if it works, it'll work really well!  Fingers crossed, and y'all have a good day!

      I can relate to looking in the mirror at a young age in life, whenever I explained to my parents, it resulted in a car ride to the hospital emergency room.
