Good morning, so busy lately I usually only have time to read.  Also, because of my location, my smart phone is the only internet I have.  Every word I've ever typed on this site has been done one letter at a time with my index finger.

 

Not even autocomplete! You poor dear! That sounds positively dystopian!

 

Hugs!

Happy Friday everyone!

 

So I did a silly thing this morning. I did my usual exercise routine in the park with the near-zero wind chill. Felt like a popsicle when I returned home, through I did move enough to generate body heat. Have been drinking coffee like it's going out of style. Just wrapping up the loose ends from the work week and looking forward to the weekend. My partner and I were talking about trying more recipes from the America's Test Kitchen plant-based cookbook. With the freezing weather, warming up the house by cooking sounds like the perfect thing to do. There is a hearty veggie lasagna recipe that's calling out to us.

 

@ElizabethStar I was disappointed too. The issue with the jacket was the overall length. It was tailored for a much shorter person than me (I'm 5'11"). The hem hit at the worst possible place, drawing all attention to the part of my waist where I still need to lose weight and made it clear that I don't have the hips for a pencil skirt. The sleeves where also a little shorter than I would have wanted but not a disaster (such a common issue). At least the skirt's length was ideal, the navy blue color was what I expected, and I ordered the right size otherwise. Maybe I'll look for a suit ideal for tall women to help with the jacket length.

 

@Ann W Now that's determination! It's always lovely to read your posts. Hope things open up more in California so you can move forward, and glad to hear the Zoom support group was such a positive experience!

 

Love,

~Audrey.

All I had was a flip-phone for a looooong time.  It was maddening.  As a confirmed Luddite, I resisted a smart-phone for a long time.

@Jamie68 The recipe calls for eggplant, zucchini, and mushrooms, and the sauce is tomato based and filled with garlicky and basil-y goodness. We were especially intrigued because the "filling" is not cheese at all but actually cooked cauliflower and cashews - so it's vegan-friendly! It will be very interesting how it turns out. The weekend can officially begin!

Well I'm still using an iPhone 5. I believe they had these on the Flintstones.

Good afternoon 

 

I do most of my posting with an iPad.  I could use a computer but I choose to use the iPad.  Personally I will pick suggested words if it guesses right but I have the problem quite often that I type the word i want and it gets changed after I move on.  
 

I guess everyone is dealing with a cold day today. I tend to nap when it’s like this.  I haven’t been outside since Tuesday and I’m not likely to go outside anytime soon. I don’t have any appointments so no reason to go out except boredom.

 

take care, our weekend is here.  Kymmie I guess yours is about over.  
 

Hugs

If you haven't already, I'd get a cloth tape and measure yourself everywhere.  I've heard it helps when you start wondering if you're imagining changes or they are really happening.

 

I joined my first transgender support group this week on Zoom and I really liked it.  Looking forward to next week.

 

 

Ann that's a a good idea.  I will have to dig out a tape measure.  I think my wife is wanting growth faster than me.  She said it looks like my chest has already started showing..  I laughed and said I wish.  Just bra padding. 

 

I joined a zoom group this week also.  2 of the 5 girls on were new to the group.  Great group though.  They do a hike in the area everywhere weekend that is said to get a bigger group. I plan on going to that tomorrow.

Right now I think my body is just thankful just to get hormones back in it. Being on Major blockers for about a year. My own hormone producers may have shut down. As the Dr said. I need some type of sex hormone.

 

So far nothing on the job front. But I ain't really pushing it. Moving in the winter isn't my idea of fun. But if it happens it happens.

 

Hugs,

Kymmie

Good Morning! On my second cup of coffee. Slept later today. @Jamie68 Yes, the snow is coming. I am going to make sure I have enough gas for the snowblower and run to the grocery store for a few items. My cart seems to always want to go down the cosmetics aisle. 

 

Stay safe and healthy!

Hugs,

Chloe

Why am I up so early?...again. Oh, that's right, the kids need to be let out. 4am. It's not fair. They come back in and just fall back to sleep.

If I ever run out of eyeliner or eyebrow gel the world will end. But for me not wearing makeup really means not wearing full makeup.

 

Starting second cup-o-coffee.

Yeah, that's why I'm up too. Someone was singing the song of his people in the bathtub between bouts of batting at my head for attention.

@ElizabethStar @Jackie C. My little chihuahua who sleeps with us likes to wake 3 - 4 am. He starts liking our faces because he wants to eat and be let out. Then he goes back to bed. 

That's why I like dogs. They give you kisses in the morning.

Same here. Our little one jumps one the bed and presses his nose to mine until I wake up. It's cute and would be a lot cuter if he could wait an hour or two longer.

On another subject, I'm sure you've noticed our boobs get larger on one day and smaller on the next. It would be nice if they would just have the larger days. They don't even grow at the same rate. Try to disappear when laying down. Oh, the things us girls have to put up with. LOL

I hope I haven't offended anyone with my last post. It seems to have gotten awful quiet around here. If I have, I'm sorry.

Not me. about the only thing that offends me is being misgendered or dead-named.

 

I haven't noticed then being larger one day and smaller the next or anything like that. Although lefty is bigger. I really hope I'm the only one who sees it. I can't and never have been able to sleep on my back. I sleep on my side/stomach clutching a pillow. My girls have been getting in the way a lot sleeping like I do.. I am not complaining!

I'm new at this chit chat stuff. I've been a quiet person all my life. I put my foot in my mouth quite frequently.

You're good. We can be quit chatty at times but there are also quiet times around here. I couldn't tell you how many times I though I said something wrong and killed a thread.

      That does get you the 'starting point' for cup size, but manufacturers, style, breast shape, etc... will effect the results.    Step one is of course finding the proper band fit, then figuring out the approximate cup size with the calculations. Of course you need to try on a few styles after that in different cup sizes close to your measured result until you get the perfect fit.    I have bras in a DD that fit just like my bras in DDD both from Torrid but different styles.    I have some DDD's that fit awesome and some that are a bit loose, but I measure a 46G. It's not wonder that 80% of women are wearing them wrong bra.

      I firmly believe I drank entirely to much for about 25 years. Got drunk every day. This was my coping mechanism to keep hiding deep inside that I was a woman. I miss a lot of signs over the years. Now I drink mabye 1 or 2 beers a day don't even get a buzz anymore. totally accept myself and on regret is that I hide that part of my self which  truly makes me happy being violet 💜. I wasted a lot of time before  being self destructive and had no clue I was just hiding th real me

      Hey, everyone. my life is going down the tubes. at least I think. So, today. A customer called about his car, I told him that the oil change was done. The parts to fix the check engine light are ordered. He can come and get it. For the weekend if he wants. Customer says I didn't want an oil change. it was check the engine light and check for an oil leak. Checking the work order says oil change. The boss wrote the vehicle up. checking with the customer on services wanted.   Being that I wrote down the appointment in the book. and clearly states oil leak. She is complaining because she can't read my small ish writing. It seems she read oil and assumed it as an oil change. It seems like she is blaming me.  She wound up going home because she was too upset. She is stressing about an eye problem she has, she has to get eye surgery it seems she has a tear in her eye.    I feel that I am short for this job. because of the BS they are blaming me on. Plus I am still upset about the trust issue. If either one of the bosses start their Shite tomorrow. I am walking out.

      "I love you so much,"  Lois said.  They met in the driveway. "I could not live without you." "Neither could I." "What are we going to do?" "Find another counselor?" "No. I think we need to solve this ourselves." "Do you think we can?" "I don't know.  But what I know is that I don't want to go through that again.  I think we have to hope we can find a solution." "Otherwise, despair." "Yeah.   Truce?" "Okay,  truce." And they hugged.   "When we know what we want we can figure out how to get there."   That began six years of angry battles, with Odie insisted he could dress as he pleased and Lois insisting it did not please her at all.  He told her she was not going to control him and she replied that she still had rights as a wife to a husband. Neither was willing to give in, neither was willing to quit, and their heated arguments ended in hugs and more.   They went to a Crossdressers' Club, where they hoped to meet other couples with the same problems, the same conflicts, and the same answers, if anyone had any.  It took them four tries before they settled on a group that they were both willing to participate in.  This was four couples their own age, each with a cross dressing husband and a wife who was dealing with it.  They met monthly.  It was led by a 'mediator' who wanted people to express how they felt about the situation.  Odie and Lois, as newcomers, got the floor, and the meeting was finally dismissed at 1:30 in the morning - it was supposed to be over at 10 - and everyone knew how they felt about the situation.   There was silence in the car on the way home.   "We aren't the only ones dealing with this." Odie finally said.   "Who would have thought that?  You are right."   "Somebody out there has a solution." "I hope you are right."   "I hope in hope, not in despair."   "That's my Odie."

      The counseling session was heated, if you could call it a counseling session.  Sometimes Lois felt he was on Odie's side, and sometimes on hers.  When he was on her side, Odie got defensive. She found herself being defensive when it seemed they were ganging up on each other.   "This is not working," Lois said angrily, and walked out.  "Never again. I want my husband back. Dr. Smith you are complicit in this."   "What?" said Odie.   The counselor looked at him.  "You will have to learn some listening skills."   "That is it? Listening skills?  You just destroyed my marriage, and you told me I need to learn listening skills?"   Dr. Smith said calmly,"I think you both need to cool off."   Odie looked at him and walked out, saying "And you call yourself a counselor."   "Wait a minute."   "No."
