Good morning All. Coffees on.

Good morning to you all on this Wednesday.

 

@Heather Nicole I'm very sorry to hear aout your mother. Sending you, her and your family positive energy to help you through this time. It's hard to avoid worrying though, even if we tell ourselves not to - it's a natural feeling when someone so close to us battling cancer.

 

@Willow Sorry to hear about the restless night and bad dreams. May today and tonight be more peaceful for you.

 

Going to be a busy day here, I need to laser-focus on a grant proposal due in a few days and the construction noise outside isn't helping my cause at the moment. Hoping to raise some needed funds to support programs in the non-profit I work at. The pandemic has been very harsh on our budgets so everything helps. I know what I'm going to write, just need to dedicate the time to get it out in a hopefully coherent way. This girl is going to need lots of coffee today...

 

Happy birthday @ElizabethStar. I hope you have a fabulous day!

 

Love,

~Audrey.

Well morning everyone. Coffee is strong and hot. And goddess does it have its work cut out today.  Ended up having to run back home because I forgot my wallet and duty weapon this morning. But I guess it can only get better from here so, have a great one!

Dear @Maddee I love the symbolism of this simple line.  It says so much.  I hope your day is going well.

Ugh!

 

I got the call from my surgeon’s office.  I have to be at the hospital at 6:45 AM!  Guess I won’t be catching extra zzzs tonight.  The good news is if I’m first in line, I’ll be home earlier.

 

on a better note, I got a follow-up call about Covid vaccine.  And immediately registered.  Now it’s a waiting game until they call me with a time and date.

 

@ElizabethStar Happy Birthday Lady.  ??

Well it’s evening so time to switch from coffee to wine lol. Cheers everyone! I’m finishing my coming out letter to my Mom this evening. I’ll keep everyone updated on how that goes in the Coming Out forum.

Thanks everyone for the birthday well wishes. Most of the stuff happened at work. I arrived to boxes of donuts that were bought in my honor, a hand made card. it was all so very sweet. At lunch I got free Starbucks. Later on I had to goto our other building to pick up my customary gift card. Lot hugs and we miss yous. The assistant accountant was really shocked when she saw my nails change color right before her eyes, she was so cute. They gave me birthday cupcakes and wanted to sing. too soon for that, for me.I feel bad but ...honestly I would have cried, I'm not ready to cry in front of co-workers just yet. I went back to my own building and things pretty much went back too normal. My wife got me typical small gift things and a visa gift card.. She said I can Buy anything I want, Even woman's clothing,. She did add a disclaimer, of course she did. She doesn't want to see me in a dress. Nothing was mentioned about skirts. She made us a pizza while I installed our new alarm system.  I and just spent at this point so Thank you everyone and good night.

@ElizabethStar sounds like you had a good birthday.

 

well not time to leave for the hospital yet but I’m ready to go. Just waiting on my better half.  She has to do all the work for a few weeks. I won’t be able to walk or drive. Made the coffee but for her, I can’t have any.

 

let you know when I’m awake, truly awake later.

Good morning everyone!

 

@Petra Jane What a lovely winter scene. Sometimes I miss living in a snowier climate. It's inspiring me to venture upstate or to VT or NH to ski before the winter's over but I feel conditions haven't been great this season. It's been unseasonably dry here in NYC this January.

 

@JustineM I wish you well in coming out to your mother, and I look forward to reading about it when you do!

 

@ElizabethStar It's wonderful to read about the positivity at your workplace - everyone really seems to accept you! Homemade pizza sounds yummy. I do wish your wife wouldn't force you to walk on such a narrow path. Do you want to buy and wear a dress? I also hope she's held up her side of your recent agreement to let you introduce yourself.

 

@Willow Hoping all is going well for you early this morning! Keep us posted.

 

@KymmieL Hoping you've been able to work everything out so you can start HRT! Sending positive energy your way.

 

Back to work on the grant today. I'm going to need quite a bit of coffee this morning, I can feel it already.

 

Love,

~Audrey.

That is a lovely garden Petra Jane.  I've learned to wrap our boxwoods with bird netting to keep heavy snows from doing damage.  So far we have only had one good snow this year.  It is always son pretty even though there is more work for an old gal.

 

Hugs,

So far this season we have only had a little snow. What we need is a week of just snow fall nothing to big. Still waiting to hear. I haven't done any checks this morning yet as this is usually the first place I come to when I get online.  Gotta keep up with all the gossip, its what us girls do. LOL 

 

Finally a day off. My body is not liking being on my feet for hours. my lower back after just a day is killing me. then feels better in the morning then repeat. I need to get a nice desk job.

I like to see it myself having grown up with it.   But I'm glad to not have to deal with it often.  Here we only get some very occasionally.

I love a nice gentle snow.  The kind with the big fluffy  flakes.  Which we rarely get here. Most of the time it snows  sideways.

Almost ready to do the happy girl  dance. Got a call from the pharmacist who is part of the anticoagulation  clinic. It sounds like they a proved the request for me to go on E.

He is looking at with a large  dose of blood thinners that  he recommends do a full dose of E.  He wants to contact my Endocrinologist to talk with him about it.  Hope to hear something later today. Getting my dancing shoes ready.

Good afternoon everyone,

 

Coffee was HOT, black, and strong. The mood in the house is quiet. Not Good when she clams up...

 

@Petra Jane I love the snow too, just as @KymmieLsays big fluffy flakes, and I'm okay with it getting deep.

 

Hugs,

I'm really excited for you Kymmie! This has been a long time coming so I'm hoping for the best, and I'll be ready to join you in your happy dance.

 

@Willow I'm so relieved to hear that your surgery went smoothly and I wish you a speedy recovery.

 

Back to work...

 

Love,

Hi,  home, I’ve have coffee yum! Lunch, Ramen and a Kings Hawaiian roll with butter.  I used to be a barfer.  Couldn’t eat anything for hours after anistesia.  What ever they use now I’m good to go.  
 

@KymmieL this sounds good for you. Praying that you get good news.  I won’t jinx you not happy dance until you say it’s ok.

 

@Petra Jane that’s a beautiful garden and the light snow adds too it’s beauty.  However, it doesn’t make me want to move north again.  I’ll keep my beach and palm trees thank you.  Our season are chilly, spring, hot as !!!! And fall.  Chilly doesn’t last very long! Hot lasts too long.  
 

well, time to annoy my wife (ok not really) and ask for my scooter.  It’s just out of reach.

 

hugs

 

 Willow

Aha! We were talking about this over Thanksgiving. Empirical evidence that other people don't only bring these out on special occasions. My nephew's thesis has been defeated.

 

More seriously, I'm glad your surgery went well. Going under the knife is always scary.

 

Hugs!

Great news Kymmie, heal well Willow.

@Petra Jane that is so lovely, do you have any wildlife that visits. I have to admit I've been watching Mr and Mrs Lumpy ☺️

On i side note I've never touched snow or seen it other than in photos or on TV. Living in one of the warmer Australian states does that. Went to New Zealand a couple of times and I felt the mountain was laughing at me or had something else in mind. Perhaps it wanted to be me before I got to see its snowy glory ?

 

Jackie I hope your nephew gets a second chance.

 

Hugs

Robin

      Lunch was at Cabaret, still free.  The place was quiet: it was the sort of place you took a business client to impress them, and the few other people were in business suits.  Most of the legal profession was there.   She told him of the morning's frustrations, breaking her own rule about confidentiality.  She asked Karen how the branding was going, and Karen had snapped back that she had not started on it yet - they had all these proposals.  Taylor had explained that it was important, for the two o'clock meeting, and Karen told her to do it herself.  Karen pointed out that Taylor could not touch her - her uncle was on the Board and her brother was VP of Manufacturing.  Nor would the two computer guys go out to the plant - they were playing some kind of MMORPG and simply not available. If she wanted the pictures, she should go.  Mary prayed an Ave Maria, but both she and Brenda were racing to get the proposal out. The client wanted it Friday for review.   She didn't bring up what Mrs. McCarthy had told her.  She wasn't sure how to approach it.  She thought of telling her of a 'something more comfortable' she had bought in case he ever DID show up at her door. It was in the bottom drawer of her dresser, ready to go.  Instead she talked about moving to a place with a garage.  Several of the abandoned houses had one, and they had been maintained well with China cash.   Bob had finally realized that when he was introduced as Bob, Taylor's boyfriend, that was just how things were done here. Other people had introduced each other in terms of family relationships, which were strong.  Long before you found out anything else about someone, you knew how they were related.  Family kept people from leaving Millville.    "What is the real name of this town, anyway?"   She laughed.  "I am trying to find that out.  It's 'Welcome to Millvale' when you come into town from the north, and 'Welcome to Millville' on the south.  I have counted two other variants."   "What a town. Roosevelt is like that, with the families, but there is only one spelling."

      Nothing wrong with that. I'm glad that you found what makes you happy! Just curious what does your wife think? If it's too personal I understand.

      Bob was on his way home from the dojo and he "just happened" to driver by her place. It was 10:30.  Her light was still on.  He knew exactly where she was sitting.  He saw her in his mind.   A fierce wave of desire that took his breath away suddenly showed up. All he had to do was stop, get out of the car, walk to the door and knock.  She would answer, glad to see him.  She would know why he was there and what he wanted. She would invite him in, maybe get him something to drink, disappear for a moment and return in "something more comfortable."  She would lead him back. Oh, joy.   And never, ever speak to him again afterwards.  Or she would not let him in but be angry about it.  In no way, emotionally, physically, mentally or spiritually, was she ready for this, and he knew it, if he was honest with himself, and she knew he knew it.  She would look upon it as another assault and their relationship would be irretrievably broken.  He would have to leave town. It would devastate her. It would devastate him.    He fought himself.  He was frozen to his seat as his reason and his body fought. He was twenty four years old, a full-blooded male with normal desires; he had just worked out and he was ready.  All he had to do now was open the car door. No one would know. He held his hands, one in the other, to keep one from moving, against his reason and will, to open that door.  He did not want to be a slave of his desires.   He looked across the street.  Mrs. McCarthy, sister of his landlord, was peeking though her window.  She knew his car.  Everyone in town would know by noon the next day if he got out of the car.  Taylor did not need that, either, and she would know, if he came to the door now, what a selfish thing it would be: in his own eyes, in the eyes of Taylor, in the eyes of the town, and worst of all, in the eyes of God.   He sat there a moment longer.  He was, as he reflected, entering into her sufferings in a small way that she would be made whole, healthy and happy: what he wanted more than anything.  But this hurt.  Why had all this come on her?  He asked God again, but there was only silence. He drove home in that silence. He chided himself for even going on her street and for driving on it other nights.  He would stop that, he told himself.   ------------------------------------------   The next morning Taylor went out to her car to go to work.  Mrs. McCarthy met her before she got to it. "I thought you were going to get lucky last night, dearie," she said. Taylor was puzzled. "Why, what do you mean?" "That young fellow - you know, Bob - he's been driving around here, going up and down the street some nights, not stopping.  Well, last night he parked and sat in his car for a while.   I think he was staring at your window.  I think he was trying to get up the courage to knock on the door. I was rooting for him.   But then he drove away.  Faint heart never won fair lady, as they say. What a shame. You two are a lovely couple.  Well, have a good day!" "Thank you, Mrs. McCarthy."  Taylor knew Bob extremely well and knew what had been going through his mind.  She was more than grateful he had not gotten out of the car. Better for him, better for her, better for everybody.  Surgery "down there" sooner than later.  This was driving the poor boy crazy. It was driving her crazy, too.  But she had a lot to work through. Surgery "up here" she said, pointing to her head.  She woke up her therapist on the way to work.  They were still talking when she pulled into her designated parking spot.  That was a perk that had happened yesterday.  She took a deep breath and headed into work. It would be another wild day.

      I'm thinking about some interactions yesterday I did, while presenting as male but acting as female, that were far better than I did when I was presenting as male and acting as male.  #girlunderhood. I do a crappy job at acting as male and I am giving it up.  I am not talking about feminine gestures or presentation but just relating as a woman.  People don't realize I am doing it but it is a whole lot easier to do.   You don't just put on a dress and BOOM you are a girl.  You are a girl and you put on a dress.  Or not. Whether I am in jeans or a skirt (I wish, wife would have lots to say) I am a girl.  I don't need $250 in makeup and heels and hose and all that.  I don't need surgery. Honey, I have arrived.  Now I have to work out how that best works in my life, causing the minimal damage and creating the maximum good, but I have more working room.   Oh, and I am still pissed off at everyone and everything. #Contradictory.

      @Willow it is certainly possible that my husband planned it. Placing me in the path of an opportunity....he certainly does things like that. GF has done some work for the company as an outside consultant, so I'm sure the company owner knows what potential resources are around.    It could also have just happened randomly. He has taken me to work with him before, just because he likes to have me around. I remember one time that I fell asleep with my head in his lap, and he held a meeting with his subordinates without waking me and making me move.  The company culture is family oriented and relaxed.

      The photo is great.  Software is phenomenal but it also is sort of a promise of things to come. Years ago this sort of thing took a photographer and Photoshop and all sorts of things and you would say, "I can look like THIS??"   Me, I am a duck.  That's from my driver's license.  Just kidding.

      I lucked into that picture. I took like 10 before that, which appropriately make me look like a donkey. ;)   Thank you so much for the compliment!

      This is a great analogy. The statement is true as it relates to the tree. The analogy fits because we as a LGBTQIA community are stronger when we stand together. It also work here on Transgender Pulse Forums. The support I feel from so many others has made me comfortable with my stance, because I'm in a beautiful forest of friends. So when I'm out alone and confronted. I can respond and act like the single tree in the field, surviving whatever comes my way. My roots reach back and communicate with others like me.    Standing Strong,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
