Good luck Jackie.  And wife :(

 

Kiera the Amazozanity has probably been helping my shape!  No 'bots where I'm at either.

 

Plus I'm lucky!!  Was running up to five miles/day over the covid summer.  Barefoot, til I got yelled at by a neighbor who thinks he's my boss...

 

Have good support shoes now (thru aMaz0n of course)

 

Good morning

Chafing in the summer heat? Sounds like there will be tights and nylons in my future. Feel free to try to look up my skirt you're in for a surprise. I also don't feel a need for pockets. They don't hold that much anyways.  I've been carrying a bag for the last couple of years.

In other news, my spouse was exposed to COVID on New Year's Eve (at work). We found out yesterday. Today I have a cough. Later today we're getting tested.

 

I'll pray for you that this is as far as it goes.

Aye Matey! I was down to 165lbs back when I was wresting with passengers and loosing their baggage! lol Add gallons of "kool-aide" plus jet blast in 100+ heat and it does wonders for sweating out those otherwise dry, clogged up skin pores.

 

That was around the time I finally quit "spiro" watched others collapse, was literally (almost) passing out myself!

@Jackie C. Hoping you and your wife both test negative. How scary... I'm keeping you both in my thoughts!

Pockets are overrated - bags are where it's at. Also, I feel like if I'm passing well enough to tempt someone to look up my skirt, then I'm doing something right and I'll take it as a compliment.

 

My appointment is in two hours. Hoping for the best! Have a wonderful day everyone. ❤️ 

 

Love,

Crap. I had written a long response but was trying to correct a spelling and touched my picture.  Lost  it all.  Abbreviated responses:

 

@Jackie C. i hope you are both negative.  Contact tracing we could all have to quarantine right here.

 

Sorry i dont know what breast tingles are.  I have constant bruise like discomfort under my aureoles.  

 

I dont have wide swings on shots.  Likely because i also take progesterone daily. 

 

Now ill try to figure out what ive missed.

Good morning everyone,

The coffee is still HOT, black and strong.

We have two cat additions to our family this week. The cat in the isolation cage is Amy, her name at the time of adoption was Mazikeen, and we're not bringing a SheDevil into our home. She's caged because she has a respiratory infection and is on medication. The cat not caged is Sheldon and he currently has run of the house. They are both 6 months old and Humane Society adoptions. We had two cats for 17 years who were litter mates and they died within a few months of each other. The first was Hamlet, and he had cancer, the second was Puck, and we believe he died of a broken heart. Puck was never very vocal and once Hamlet was gone Puck would walk through the house moaning for Hamlet. It was hard to see them go. So now we're three years past and have these two to add some extra joy and entertainment to the house. To quote my Suzie: "Amy and Sheldon have been a BIG BANG for us in 2021.

 

Hugs,

 

Mindy???

Hi again

 

went back through the prior posts and i dont think i failed to comment on very much. 

 

I normally view and comment using my iPad.  Well it died on me in Virginia. And i dont mean battery.  So ive been using an old MacBook Air that has died an$ been resurrected twice or my phone. The computer battery is weak and doesn’t last and its hard for me to get my fingers in the correct place on the small phon screen.  New iPad arrives some time tomorrow.  It is slightly larger than my last one and 4 years newer.  I think the dead one was dropped too many times.  

 

Life goes on.  I use my ipad more than my phone or computer.  And i use it on my boat for navigation and weather.  It connects all my systems together. Or will when i get a nmea 0183 to USB converter.  For computer geeks thats the old 422 serial interface.  

 

Well Willow has house work to do.  She is out of the closet today for the first time since mid December.

 

Speaking of closets, i have to rebuild ours the day we were packing for Virginia it decided to collapse.

Wish me luck!

 

I was also exposed at work recently via a member of our delivery staff. Only a small portion of the people exposed were told, but HR is denying it to the rest of staff. I am so angry, but I will spare everyone here my ranting. Anyway, I hope your tests come back negative and you feel better soon.

The pockets are mainly just for my phone at work. I have a regular handbag I use to carry all my stuff when I'm out and about.

 

 

More hot chocolate coffee and stress this morning. My one partner is sick with what we hope it is a cold or sinus infection. He just feels regular sick and doesn't have any unusual symptoms. He does work in the same building as the person HR denies has COVID (despite the email I received quite clearly stating that person does have it). If he gets any worse I will make sure he goes and gets tested, but he's already been tested at least 3 separate times. He's just prone to getting sick especially when under stress.

Good morning all...so much to comment on here today.  Unfortunately, my mother passed away last night and I'm really sad...so I'm just going to say good luck to everyone today with all your adventures...and welcome to the new members.  I'm glad to have these online friends to turn to.  I'm pretty alone in my life, and it helps a lot.

 

Be yourself...live for today.

Pockets can be handy, but definitely overrated.  I like a nice big shoulder bag.

I seriously doubt I have to worry about anyone trying to look up my skirt, although it would be amusing.

@Ann W please accept my condolences. Losing a parent especially a mom is so hard. I wrap you in my virtual hugs.

First, @Ann W I'm so deeply sorry to her about your mother. My sympathies are with you. ?

 

I'm back from my appointment, and still free of spiro! We're going to do another lab check in March, but for now things are in a good place between estrogen and testosterone. One less thing to be anxious about for now.

 

Also... @Mmindy Kitties! So adorbs! ❤️ 

 

Love,

~Audrey.

Just thought I'd pop in and say hi.

@Mmindy, cute puddies!!

 

@Ann W, I am sorry to hear that your mother passed.  Hugs!

 

Today was errand day in town.  The temperature was above zero (C), warm enough to eat in the car, so we stopped for burgers at A&W, our favourite.  Their coffee is so-o-o good!

 

I picked up another memory-foam-and-gel seat cushion today, since they were on sale.  I am always carrying the one I already had around with me, since I can't sit on a hard chair without one, so it made sense to get another.

 

Speaking of the reason I need a cushion, I have my first pelvic floor physiotherapy session tomorrow.  I am not optimistic that physio will work, but I hope it does.  If not, then I'll have to get in line for revision surgery.

Good morning everyone. Ann, I'm so sorry to hear that happened. I'm glad you still have the spirit to leave a motivational message. Losing a loved one is not easy, please take all the time you need.

      As has been said many times, this is not a black and white issue. Sure.  I get it that a MtF person that has gone through full male puberty and "transitioned" 6 months ago probably has an advantage in some sports.  But these bans affect elementary school kids too. I mean, banning trans women from Darts?  Chess?

      Worry refers to the thoughts, images, emotions, and actions of a negative nature in a repetitive, uncontrollable manner that results from a proactive cognitive risk analysis made to avoid or solve anticipated potential threats and their potential consequences.

      Good morning    Now @Abigail Genevieve and @Mmindy what makes you so certain I didn’t mean it to say bee itch certificate?  lol. Thanks Mindy. I was asleep when you saw this and fixed it, and yes Abigail, as a moderator I could have fixed it myself, or weren’t you pointing out the irony of that?   I use Alexis as my alarm to get up.  And I set the ringer to be two guys telling me to get up.  I was so sound asleep when they started telling me to get up that it scared me and my first thought were I had over slept.  Since I have a difficult time getting to sleep as early as I have to in order to get enough sleep I at least cut back my normal awake time to get ready.  But now I have to do my hair and get going.   enjoyed my coffee and a little time catching up   see you all later, for its hi ho hi ho it’s off to work I go.   Willow

      Republicans have long committed grave errors by emphasizing their social agenda and moral issues instead of just focusing on the economy, lowering taxes, keeping the public safe, building a strong national defense, promoting business, touting reasonable immigration policies, etc.   The country would thrive economically under Trump's tax and business policies. That's a fact. Another four years of Biden will run this country into the ground financially (including all of our 401Ks and IRAs). But the GOP continues to play right into the Dems' hands by leading with their moral crusades instead of staying the course and trusting their fiscal policies to win the day...

      Thanks.  I will look those up in the document, hopefully tomorrow.   I always look at the source on stuff like this, not what someone, particularly those adversarial, have to say.

      LGBTQ rights Project 2025 takes extreme positions against LGBTQ rights, seeking to eliminate federal protections for queer people and pursue research into conversion therapies in order to encourage gender and sexuality conformity. The policy book also lays out plans to criminalize being transgender and prohibit federal programs from supporting queer people through various policies. The project partnered with anti-LGBTQ groups the Family Policy Alliance, the Center for Family and Human Rights, and the Family Research Council. Project 2025 calls for the next secretary of Health and Human Services to “immediately put an end to the department’s foray into woke transgender activism,” which includes removing terms related to gender and sexual identity from “every federal rule, agency regulation, contract, grant, regulation, and piece of legislation that exists.” The Trump administration proposed a similar idea in 2018 that would have resulted in trans people losing protections under anti-discrimination laws. [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; The New Republic, 2/8/24] Similarly, the policy book calls for HHS to stop all research related to gender identity unless the purpose is conformity to one's sex assigned at birth. The New Republic explains: “That is, research on gender-nonconforming children and teenagers should be funded by the government, but only for the purpose of studying what will make them conform, such as denying them gender-affirming care and instead trying to change their identities through ‘counseling,’ which is a form of conversion therapy.” [The New Republic, 2/8/24] The policy book’s foreword by Kevin Roberts describes “the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children” as “pornography” that “should be outlawed,” adding, “The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned.” Roberts also says that “educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023] Roberts’ foreword states that “allowing parents or physicians to ‘reassign’ the sex of a minor is child abuse and must end.” Echoing ongoing right-wing attacks on trans athletes, Roberts also claims, “Bureaucrats at the Department of Justice force school districts to undermine girls’ sports and parents’ rights to satisfy transgender extremists.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; TIME magazine, 5/16/22] Dame Magazine reports that Project 2025 plans to use the Department of Justice to crack down on states that “do not charge LGBTQ people and their allies with crimes under the pretense that they are breaking federal and state laws against exposing minors to pornography.” [Dame Magazine, 8/14/23] Project 2025 also calls for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to repeat “its 2016 decision that CMS could not issue a National Coverage Determination (NCD) regarding ‘gender reassignment surgery’ for Medicare beneficiaries.” The policy book’s HHS chapter continues: “In doing so, CMS should acknowledge the growing body of evidence that such interventions are dangerous and acknowledge that there is insufficient scientific evidence to support such coverage in state plans.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023] Going further, Project 2025 also demands that the next GOP administration “reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military.” The policy book’s chapter on the Defense Department claims: “Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service, and the use of public monies for transgender surgeries … for servicemembers should be ended.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023]   …summaries of what’s within the rest of the document re: LGBTQ+ concerns. A person can believe their gender is fixed but incongruent with their physiology, but the authors and Trump (by his own words) just see the incongruity of an “expressed gender” that conflicts with what was/is in a person’s pants.
