Did you ever get that jacket we were all eyeing before Xmas?  IMG_9582.thumb.JPG.5e708f61c572d3739ca9db17ffe3848a.JPGI love mine but had to have the buttons reinforced, the thread holding them kept breaking. 

I tried mine on and discovered I needed two sizes larger than what was available.  I was so disappointed.  I really really wanted it.

Hi everyone. Hope everyone had a happy Monday. Nothing exciting happening here. Except I have a laser appointment tomorrow. My hr department sent me the fmla paperwork for my recovery time. I was going to do it but my employer thought I should. Fill it out. My boss told me today if I want to come in his office again I have to wear a hat. He has serious issues about my hair. He will really be shocked when he has a meeting with me and hr. For some reason the idea of getting married is on my mind and it’s kind of sad because I never got to be a bride. Or go to prom or be a bridesmaid. I just feel kind of depressed about the events I missed

Any hat? The fool! He may have sown the seeds of his own madness.

 

There's no reason you can't be a bridesmaid though. I mean find an unmarried friend that is getting married and boom! Probably too late for prom. I didn't go to mine either. Probably for the best, from all reports it was kind of 'meh.' On the other hand, if I'd been AFAB, I'd have torn the place UP.

 

Well, probably not. Lesbians still weren't cool in 1988. Statistically, there should have been 20 LGBT people in my graduating class. Including myself, I can identify three of them (and we were all, in hindsight, obvious choices). The other 17 remain a mystery.

 

Anyway, the point being that you're still young. You have lots of experiences ahead of you. Go out and enjoy them!

 

Hugs!

I bet that I would be one of the "mysteries" in my class. A football player and weight lifter? Now a girly girl!

Haha. My boss did give me the option of wearing a plastic bag over my head. I’d really like to get a pink hardhat. That’s what I should do I should show up with a pink hard hat lol.

While I do accessorize in pinks, don't forget the power of purple. Lavenders are good too. Don't limit yourself until you've tried all your options. Ooh, do they make hardhats in floral patterns?

These nice people are selling them... I have no idea what the designations mean. So... maybe?

I had a doctor appointment this morning. A week and a half ago, I tested positive for Covid. It only felt like a head cold. This time I tested negative. I can go back to work. All of you take care of yourselves! This seems to affect everyone differently! 

 

Chloe

I remember my time with covid very well and it was awful even in a mild form. I'm glad you're getting better. It was tough for me. My symptoms lasted almost a month but, lucky for me, my job screwed me over and I decided my time as an employee had come to an end. I don't miss them at all. I do miss working sometimes. I hated my job but, loved some of the people there. I am trying to decide what starting my own business might look like and wether I could make my vision come to life. My hopes for college have been dashed by divorce and bad luck. It seems good luck is eluding me at present.

 

Today I woke up to a freezing house and a broken furnace. Can't be fixed. I got a lot of years out of it though so at least there is that. The one day I really needed something to go right had to just prove me unworthy.?

Also, since I mentioned it yesterday, here are my newly painted nails. I just love this color, it's called "first kiss" by Karma Hues, they're based out of NJ and specialize in natural products. ❤️

 

Now the big decision remains - do I take the plunge and buy that skirt suit? Consensus here was positive!

Love the nails and the skirt suit plan. If it is something you like then I say indulge.

Of course you have to have steel toe slippers. I’m looking to see what I can do to make my work attire more feminine. I did find some cute lunch boxes too lol

It is kind of a pain my hard hat has to be msha rated and my mine light has to be msha approved. The light I have now was 400 dollars when I got it.

I have extra hat lamps in my office at work.  They light up pretty good. 

 

Oddly a pink hat almost outed me last week at work when I blurted out I'd wanted one when it was offered to the only girl in class.

@ElizabethStar Love the bunny slippers!

@Jackie C. And the pretty work hat!

 

This thread is blowing up tonight, I was idle for a while and it said "show 15 new posts?" when I came back. Hope everyone is having a lovely evening. Pretty quiet here, which is good, but it's the calm before the storm I fear. I'm expecting a crazy busy workweek with five days worth of tasks crammed into four because of the holiday today.

 

Also - ultimately, I *did* splurge and buy the suit! In navy blue. I hope it fits, even though my body lacks the curves to really make it work. It's how I'll feel wearing it that I really want to know...

 

Love,

~Audrey.

@AudreyCan't wait to see it, assuming all goes well.

 

My dumb ass (can I say that here?) inadvertently maybe outed myself to a customer today. We were talking about the service history on his account when I just had to say "Yeah, I remember from the last time I was there". Grant it, it was a few years ago but pre-HRT. I did manage kept moving through the conversation without missing a beat and side-stepped it when he mentioned me by my dead name as being his favorite tech. He's probably scratching his head right now trying to figure out when a woman came out and serviced his account.

      The name "Mississippi" comes from the Anishinabe tribe of Native Americans; the word means "Father of Waters."

      Fighting a fever since yesterday. Been shivering cold. even though I keep the house at 71. Went to bed at about 8 last night slept until my wifes alarm was going off.    Ashley I think you are correct. However, they won't be graced with my presence today.   Hugs,   Kymmie

      That's horrible that they are blaming you for her presumption. I hate to say it but maybe they are looking for reasons.

      I have no skin in the game here, apart from the signal that a re-elected Trump sends to likeminded politicians around the world, which would result in an indirect yet detrimental effect on many people here and elsewhere. So, hopefully what I write here can be used as a reference for how he, and American politics in general, is viewed from a country that is not directly involved.   It seems to me that politics is not taken seriously by enough people in America. Actually, specifically the USA (America can be anywhere from Prudhoe Bay to Panama to Patagonia). Electing a celebrity to high office just wouldn't happen here, let alone one who has overseen the bankruptcy of several of his business ventures and is embroiled in hush-money scandals. I remember during my teenage years when Reagen was elected; the main point of conjecture here was that he was just a B-grade actor. Equally laughable was Arnie as governor of California, although he turned out to be somewhat more socially progressive than most Republican politicians.    I simply cannot understand why the Dems cannot find a decent candidate. Biden has cognitive issues. Everyone expected Harris to step up by now, but no. Where's Jed Bartlet when you need him, lol! In my mind, if Martin Sheen threw his hat in the ring, he'd be elected in a heartbeat because many of you would actually believe that he was the real deal! Even though he's older than Biden!!!   Sorry if that sounds like I am trying to insult the intelligence of y'all. But y'all asked for it, by valuing celebrity over substance over the last five decades or so.    I have no doubt that Trump will win in November, even if he is in jail. His rusted-on supporters will just say, "Yep! That's our boy!!!"

      Well said.    Although this so-called Project 2025 will not affect me directly in an immediate sense, it sends a signal to equivalent minded people and political parties around the world that it is okay to exclude minorities and indeed, to persecute them.   In my humble opinion, the far-right politicians know damn well that there is a very large cohort of less-than-intelligent people out there who are not capable of critical thinking and believe every skerrick of dog-whistling, fearmongering, "they're-out-there-to-get-you" rhetoric. Pander to their rural and village attitudes and you're on a winner!    Correcting them with logic and science won't work; they just double down and get louder with their petulance on full display.

      Just waking up so I'm in my pajamas - blue/white madras shorts, a navy blue t-shirt and my sleep bra with sleep-rated breast forms.   Thank you @Susan R for telling us about your mastectomy bra and forms fitting experience before your BA surgery and how sleeping in the bra/forms helped with the dysphoria.    First, hearing about your courage to get fitted gave me the confidence and courage to go out in public.   And, second, finding sleep mastectomy bras and sleep-rated breast forms (I found a set on eBay for a good price) has been a tremendous boost to my feeling comfortable in my pajamas and nightgowns and tamping down my dysphoria and dysmorphia.
