Good morning! I am having a rough week at work with the long hours. I feel like a zombie just going thru the motions. My manager told me the long hours will be ending soon. Maybe I can feel normal then. Lots of coffee this morning.

 

@AgnesBardsie Cool that your are keeping your nail polish on!

Careful with the coffee. I've had my heart race twice in my life from coffee. Both times from a SHELL gas station. Scary.

Got back from Iowa City ok. Stopped at the "Iowa 80" truck stop and bought an awesome new coffee cup that changes from the black color with logo to a light blue scenic color with logo. unfortunately It doesn't look like they sell it online. They are made by "OLLEE BEE". Microwavable too!

Have a great day ladies!

Oof. It was a financial disaster yesterday. Unexpected car repair, vet bill and computer repair totaled almost $1000.  I had to cancel 4 upcoming electrolysis appointments to try and offset that hit.  Surprisingly, I'm not too emotionally distraught over the setback.  It's definitely disappointing though.  

On the plus side I got to sit down with my two sisters for a couple hours to discuss solutions for helping my 22 year old nephew find a better living situation. He has muscular dystrophy and severe autism and a single parent father who has his own issues and really isn't caring for him. It's a real challenge. While the subject matter was hard, just having normal sister time was great.  I haven't really had this kind of quality family time with them since coming out. I can't wait to get vaccinated and be able to do more of that.  One of my sisters' whole household is pretty much vaccinated because they are teachers and one of their kids recovered from Covid already so is probably immune.

No such thing as immune. My brother in law has had it twice already. Sorry to hear about your home situation. Hope it gets better.

Hey everyone, good morning! Since we're sharing coffee mugs, I'll share my favorite one along with the new coffee I picked up yesterday. It's a really dark roast, much more than I would normally drink, but it smells heavenly. Feeling a little more centered this morning compared to earlier in the week, and I'm hoping for today and tomorrow to be mellow at work, though they probably won't be because I'm on the front line of getting people vaccinated as fast as possible. I will probably be calling around 100 people today, and it is exhausting to talk vaccines all day long. Several clients I've talked to are skeptical about it. They want to see if people have negative reactions and if it actually helps slow down the pandemic before taking the risk.

 

@AgnesBardsie Yes definitely keep the nail polish! I'm always wearing some these days, and I don't care if anyone notices - but, when someone did and said how much she liked the color, that was so heart-warming!

 

@Chloe Cozee Sorry to hear that it's been a challenging week work-wise. Hoping things improve for you soon, as your manager promises they will!

 

@Bri2020 Glad that you had some nice family time but sorry to hear about the unexpected expenses. I too am missing family time a lot because of the pandemic, it's especially hard with me being the only one on the East Coast and everyone else basically being in the Midwest or on the West Coast. I'm cautiously optimistic that the vaccine will make travel safer by summer, but who knows.

 

Hoping everyone has a lovely day!

 

Love,

~Audrey.

I love those little heartwarming moments. Inside I am Agnes 24x7. Outside I look like Bob and I tell people to call me Bob. It’s so confusing! Lol! When I’m engaged in conversation I’m Agnes and when the response is to Agnes and not to Bob it really feels good. It’s hard to describe and it’s ever so subtle.

Good morning everyone,

 

My coffee is Hot, black, and strong.:coffee: My favorite mug is a thick ceramic cup from Amway Products Chemical division that resembles a 55 gallon drum. I run hot water into and over it while the coffee is brewing, so that the thick ceramic doesn't thief away the heat energy away from the coffee being poured into it.

 

Hugs, and best wishes for all as we move closer to the weekend. Stay Positive.

Very good advice! I don't do this for the first cup because I need it slightly cooled for teeth sensitivity. But if I go for refills and my cup was empty for awhile I heat it first then poor the coffee from the carafe.   My insulated carafe does cool just a bit after an hour or so.

You can call the truck stop and order this by the way. I paid $16.99 for this one.

I really like your coffee mug too. Where can I get one?

Link to comment

I'm so picky when it comes to coffee mugs- notice mug, not cup.  Requirements:

Minimum 12oz

Must have enough thickness to hold the heat for awhile

Drinking end should be same or slightly smaller diameter than base. I often balance my mug on the arm of the couch and stability is important.

Dishwasher safe.

The imagery must make me smile. No negative or sarcastic messages.  Current favorites are my 3 sisters image, "pug yoga" "Scuba Bonaire" and a Wonder Woman comic scene.

Well, I don't drink coffee, but I drink tea out of this:

 

Zero Fox Given - Fox Mugs - Funny Coffee Mugs - Mugs With Quotes - Mugs With Sayings - Tea mug - Novelty Coffee Mug - great gift (11oz)

 

Speaking of, I could use a cup. Good workout today and I'm pleasantly tired. Not much to do today except housekeeping, art and my therapist appointment. I hope everyone has a pleasant day!

 

Hugs!

Hi Jamie, TBH it was a gift a long time ago so I'm not sure where it came from. I've been a Scrabble player since forever so I guess my reputation precedes me. The way I break stuff though, I'm surprised it's still in one piece. I'm proud to say I've never cracked a smartphone screen either. ?

 

Love,

~Audrey.

I buy these coffee warmers at thrift stores, usually for a dollar.  I have 5 of them around my place so I never take a cold sip.

switching gears,

Kaiser Perm a letter of introduction today from my new OB/GYN. Woooaaa.  I don't even have the parts yet. lol.  I'm sure this was Kaiser automatically assigning me to the women's health care team since they changed my gender in their system but I was a little shocked when I opened it. I'm pretty sure she has no idea what's in store ;) I did message her to let her know my situation and to ask a few questions about her experience with transgender patients though.

      That's a toughy to say. But I do know that it's an area for improvement with me. I can get pretty down on myself sometimes. I guess I have to remember that I'm human just like everyone else, not perfect. And that's okay.   Lots of love, Timber Wolf 🐾🪻

      Good morning    On this date in 1972 it was a Saturday. I  made a pledge to love and honor my wife and keep her forsaking all others.  I have kept those vows and here we are celebrating our 52nd anniversary still together.  Still caring for each other through sickness and in health.  Still sharing our lives.   Other than that, it’s another day near the beach.  80 and mostly sunny.     I found a ‘17 GMC Acadia yesterday I want to take a look at.  It’s a bit more than I wanted to spend but it’s doable. Only 69k miles on it, with the low mileage I put on cars these days it probably won’t ever hit 100k if I do beget it.  Low mileage now is  likely because it was a leased car at some point. Those usually get pretty good care and not a lot of miles.  It would be similar in size to my Ford, 7 passenger seating but a more basic trim which is fine.  It only has a 4 cyl engine so potentially rather under powered for a relatively large SUV.  The ford has a 4.0liter 6 which is a bit large for cars these days.  Instead of full time all wheel drive, it apparently has 4 modes, 2, 4, sport (what ever that is, I presume it’s over drive turned off) and anti slip.  It’s probably not going to happen but I am keeping my eyes open for a good deal. The old Ford is just that, an old worn out Ford.  Since I bought the Ford I’ve only put about 10k miles on it in 6 years.  My daughter once had an Acadia, top trim package.  When she was driving back and forth to work close to 100 miles per day and going to Philadelphia every week another 500 or more.  For her the miles added up fast.   still keeping my eyes open.  This is about the right age and size but I was hoping to spend about $2000 less.   Other than that I hope to meet with my minister today about paper topics for my class submission.   Other than that Monday is laundry day so I’ll be doing several loads of laundry today.     I put on a neutral gel nail polish last night.  I tried this before, however, I don’t believe I correctly understood the how to get a good result so I was more careful this time.  All I want it’s to give my bpfinger nails enough strength to grow out just a little and stop tearing.   Well, I need to call to make an urology appointment.   @Birdiei was born in Ohio and until Lamda Legal sued them you could not get a sex change on a birth certificate for any reason.  Now you can.  In South Carolina a name change requires $300 and a form filled out and filed with the clerk of courts.  But a gender change requires a birth certificate with the new gender listed.  I am hoping they will permit gender X eventually but right now the state is too Red to do any such thing.   Willow

      I have the problem, that I see myself at 3 maybe 4 on the list. I don't have the self love that I should have.   What does it mean to you?   Kymmie

      Seems the stuffy day-centre has swapped out Psychiatric Services and therapy to the local BSA hospital. BSA works closely with the local university and is much more gender accepting than the day-centre. The day-centre's psychiatrist wanted to treat me for gender dysphoria by correcting it. 🙄   I logged into MyChart app at the hospital and updated my preferred name (Birdie) and preferred gender marker for them to use.  I'll try and get a referral for gender therapy at the hospital as well.    Nevada is my place of birth and I found out changing the gender marker on my birth certificate there only requires a letter from a licensed therapist, but a name change still requires a court order.    Changing the gender marker to female would at least be one step in the right direction, then I could renew my ID to state female instead.

      Well today by attention wise was downright horrible. My legs can't stay still, can't focus on a project, my mind wanders around a lot, constantly fidgeting, easily distracted, couldn't even tell you what the sermon was about but there was vine on the altar and attention to detail sucks. I have read that it is possible to have BPD and ADHD. My mind even wanders during prayer. If I have both I won't be able to take Adderall because it makes my BPD symptoms worse. I keep having side effects that come up from my 3 traumatic brain injuries.

      If it wasn't so *EVIL*, I would have to laugh.  Everyone knows that trans women in particular have such an overwhelming superiority in poetry that the competition would be unfair if they were allowed to enter.  You can't make this stuff up!   Seriously, sorry for making light of it.  But it is only by highlighting the utter absurdity of this kind of crap, whether it occurs in Russia or Florida, that I am able to hang on to any shred of sanity.

      I used to fully agree with this statement, that is, until the first lockdown   Everyone I knew around me was affected by the pandemic. they couldn't work. they couldn't see their friends. they felt bored/ frustrated they couldn't get out of the house   and then there was me who welcomed it, because for once in my life, I didn't feel like a loser- and after lockdown, when everyone looked forward to going back to work or going out, well.. I had nothing- and I felt that no, I wasn't normal because I didn't have a life to get back to
