Morning. I'm still out of coffee, day 2, so I'm drinking tea.

 

Between my dogs arguing all night with their bark, bark, growl, my wife's 24in garage fan and the fact she can't sleep without the TV on. I haven't slept in 3 days. So tired I want to cry. At least I didn't oversleep today.

It sounds like you could really use a mental health day. I don't like sleeping apart either, but if it's the couch (or spare room or whatever) or listening to the TV drone all night... You have to take care of yourself too sweetie.

 

Hugs!

Yesterday was interesting. SO I walk into the house after work.  Low and behold she is up stairs. Then I see the basket of clean laundry in the middle of the living room floor. With only my stuff folded. She had put hers away already. I ask her 'OH, couldn't take mine up too.'  I only get well I folded it.  SO, when she goes to take a bath I just take my laundry up and put it away. leaving the laundry basket in the middle of the floor. 

 

 

IMO You two need to talk more directly, both of you are being passive aggressive and that cycle never works out.  To my outside view, it appears neither of you want this to work but are too afraid to admit that to each other so just continue to try and piss each other off hoping it will break apart that way.  If you think it's time to move on, move on and be upfront about it.  

Sorry if that's too blunt but I'm worried that this toxicity will just damage you emotionally for a long time if you don't break out of the cycle.

I'm so sorry you are going through this.

Earplugs?  My wife swears by them. I used to snore heavily so she started using them for that. I don't think I snore as badly now that I'm at a healthier weight but she won't risk not sleeping. lol

Wow, that sucks. My wife can't sleep till usually 3 am, and always has the tv on. I wear eye mask, but can't sleep with ear plugs. Sometimes I go to the garage to sleep or in the recliner down by the front door. If it was warmer out I would say, sleep in the car. Hope it gets better for you

If either one of us can't sleep, we do a jigsaw puzzle on the computer. BrainsBreaker is $20 now. You can use any picture and make a puzzle out of it. You can download a demo version.

I can't imagine running out of coffee. Usually 2 or 3 cups in the morning then switch to green tea.

Bri, never worry about being to blunt with me. Sometimes I just need that.

 

I swear she is Jeckle and Hyde. After she came down she was all peaches and cream. So who knows.

 

Any Hoo, 20 and overcast this am. looks like snow clouds. Nice warm shower and I ready to veg all day. Coffee is warming up.

 

I am waiting on the job to leave. Maybe I should look into just transferring within the company then look for other once I am out there.

It's to the point that I'm looking into buying a sex doll, not for, you know, sex (which I'm also giving a break) but for cuddling a feminine form.

I have one of those Body Pillows to sleep with.

 

Baked some more bread this morning in the dutch oven.   I need to find a way to get a little less crust tho.  I don't have a lot of teeth.  LOL

 

Also found out that one of my cousins has ALS.   My brother and one of my sisters both died from this, and it is a terrible way to go.  At one point I was afraid I was getting it, but it turned out to be a low sodium thing.  (which is why I can't do spiro)    Apparently it runs in my mothers side.    

I was thinking I was past the usual age for it to start, but now that I think about it, this cousin is only one year younger than me.  Oh well.

I'm so sorry to hear about your cousin and siblings @Jandi.  I saw my grandfather go that way, and for a long time I got worried anytime something seemed heavier than it used to be.

Hi everyone, happy Friday. I hope you've having a better one than me. Was up most of the night last night with awful stomach cramps that are still hanging on into this afternoon. It was nearly impossible to get comfortable enough to sleep more than like twenty minutes at a time. Being super kind to myself today and took a sick day, and plan to rest up all weekend long. Fortunately I don't think it's COVID-19, I have no respiratory symptoms or fever. Just bad judgement about where to order salads from, apparently.

 

@Jandi I'm very sorry to hear about your cousin's diagnosis and about your siblings. This is an incredible emotional weight to bear, and my thoughts are with you and your family.

 

Love,

~Audrey.

Hey, All. Good Afternoon. Still dreary out. I think it may have gotten to 30 degrees.

 

Just got finished with a fantastic session with my therapist. She gave me some tough love and like some of my friends on here. I am in a hopeless relationship. I have almost bent over backwards to be with her and understand her problems. Yet she refuses to even try and understand me. That is not good in any relationship especially one of over 35yrs. If I don't girl up and make a stand and move on. I am going to be stuck hiding who I am until I die. I need to be who I am and shouldn't let anyone get in my way.

 

I will be on later, Hugs

I'm still in the process of getting stuff sorted out after moving. One of the things I found was a bunch of chainmail roses I created years ago. It's a little hard to even look at some of this stuff. Feels like a lot of broken dreams. In an effort to renew my love for my forgotten craft I decided bind some of them into a bouquet.

Is it morning already? I could have slept in but my internal alarm clock went off. Sipping coffee and reading posts on this site. Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Hi everyone just about to leave for work. They are calling for snow today. The worst part is after the snow it’s supposed to be below zero. Not really looking forward to next week lol.

I was sleeping RIGHT up until the point my cat went off. He was singing some manner of cat opera in the bathroom for he is the King of Cats and demands his ape-servant to feed him. I was really hoping to sleep in today, but maybe I can get back to bed once his Majesty is sated. Ugh.

Other than leaving for work, got the same issues here.

 

The snow is forecast for tonight and is expected to be heavy. The worst will come by Monday or Tuesday when the temperature has dropped below zero and the trampled snow is now lethal icy slush that is so unsafe to walk on, and I’m supposed to go for a scan to the local hospital. If it is unsafe, again, I can but hope it is cancelled yet again.

My cat went off at 5:00.  He thinks it is fun to pull my hair.  @#$%!!  I got back to sleep, but didn't wake up until late.

@Jackie C., you'd have liked our last cat.  He had a voice like Pavarotti, and would sing opera at 2:0 am. 

 

Espresso this morning.

 

We have a major snowfall coming Sunday night and Monday morning.  I hope they have the roads clear by Tuesday morning, because I have to drive into the city for a doctor's appointment.  I want her to start on whatever paperwork is needed for revision surgery.

That's a beautiful bouquet, @ElizabethStar. I love found art! Makes me wish I had a creative spark to do projects like that.

 

Fortunately I'm feeling quite a bit better today after the stomach bug I came down with Thursday night. I caught up on a good amount of sleep and I finally feel more like myself this morning. Hoping to catch up with a couple friends this weekend, but otherwise no big plans. Partner and I want to make omelets this weekend sometime but I want to my body to settle a bit more. Looks like a number of you are expecting more winter weather... same here. They say we're in for another storm here in NYC tomorrow that could bring six inches of snow. A lot of the snow that fell the other day has melted since it's been above freezing (but not for much longer).

 

p.s. I love the descriptions of "cats going off." ❤️

 

Love,

~Audrey.

I guess I am lucky. Our cat is afraid of the outside.

 

Well my Monday today. But I did get the regional manager of OR. email so I can email him to see if there is any Manager spots open up there.

 

Even though I am tired of being on my feet for 8-10 hours a day. I will transfer with in the company if it gets me where I want to go.

 

Hugs

      While the Soviet Union did not end up being the source of all evil, I believe that history has shown that Joe McCarthy generally was right. There ARE all kinds of Marxists slithering around. And if that had been dealt with firmly 75 years ago (or more) the nation wouldn't be in the shape that it's in now.    And while I generally oppose the idea of intervening in foreign affairs, the world probably would have been better off if we had taken care of issues in Russia and defeated the Bolshevik Menace back in 1919. God bless the memory of Admiral Kolchak.   Getting back to project 2025, my belief is that Republican efforts are inappropriately focused on trans folks. A minority of a minority does not wreck a nation. But it is easier to focus on trans folks because they can look like they're doing something. They don't have to address the real problems, and really they don't want to address them because they would have to address themselves.  They would also need to admit that the 50 State version of the USA cannot be saved.

      @Willow things went pretty well on Monday. I have been working on the project all week long. I've been hanging out with my husband a lot, since he said that nobody would mind because I'm working on company stuff. My work is going slowly, but it is going. Rather better than I had hoped.   I ended up waking up late this morning. After 18 months of only working on house chores, not really used to doing anything else. Actually a little bit tired

      Getting back to this… I've seen objections to Critical Race Theory, but simply "critical theory" is a new one on me.  I think we need to be "critical" about a lot of things, or at least examine why we believe what we do about them.  If they stand up under scrutiny, great.  If not perhaps we need to look at something else.   Not all socialists are Soviet Russian Communists. I have read very little Marx myself.  That kind of writing bores me quickly.  But I think there are legitimate concerns about unfettered capitalism.  There are countries that seem to do well on a mixture of capitalism and socialism.  But I am no Tankie.   The Red Scare kinda morphed into the Lavender Scare, and now we have this Transgender Scare.   The thing is, most people are scared to get to know any of the people they are scared of. I'm not scared of evangelical christians.  But I am a little scared of what they seem ready to do to me, because they are scared of me. I am not a scary person - don't want to be.  I'm just an old trans woman trying to mind my own business, and get with what's left of my life. And the 2025 project seems to be designed to make that difficult.

      My mom has been more accepting of me being trans lately and even promised i could get a binder if i pay with my own money. The preferred name is still an issue. So far my mom, close friends and brother know i identify as trans but no one else does. I recently told mr grandparents about my partner and explaines the perferred name as a nickname they prefer to have. Luckily everyone who knows is accepting but i feel like i still have so much progress to make. Started getting more uncomfortbale being reffered to as my deadname and she/her in public. My therapist is getting me a trans pin for my birthday next time I see her. I have hop but sometimes I feel like the goal is so far. HRT and top surgery are things i know i want but there has been warnings given to me about the problems that come with it from the ones that have accepted me and I trust most. Mainly from the adults in my life that know, also been getting nervous many people dont see me as a man but i also go to an all girl school. being consistenly reffered to as women has started to get to me and have had urge on several occasions to write perferred name on paper. i dont think pereffered name can go into school system due to being catholic school and for graduation diploma we have to contact the person in charge and ask. I just need some advice on what to do, I am thank ful for the advice everyone had given me, made me feel better about future and hope that I can transition but also worry about familial ties and affect. due to most f them being born in the 80's and 90's and not taking it well originally mostly based on my moms reaction. I love my family alot but how they might react is scaring me. my mom still donesnt want them to know. I know they love me but when I eventually come out and medically trasition in several years hopefully, what will happen? there are little kids in the family and I already dont see them a lot, how would their parents react? what would they say to the kids? I know my aunt would not take it well due to political belief and warnings from cousins.

      Maybe.  But they'd probably resent being required to do it.   IDK.  You have to show ID to register already.  And you have to be registered to vote.

      Hah! Woke up the Red Scare!   I’ve never read Marx. I tend to believe in the inherent goodness in people. I let their words and deeds change that. Insisting people are immoral/less than/should not exist, stripping them (or keeping them from) human rights, is an a most basic example of true evil. What evils do LGBTQ+ people present simply existing? How does the Right justify their crusade against us? What justifies the manufactured fear and loathing they spout every day about us?

      Congrats on the new addition @Ivy I have the opposite I have 4 grandson and a granddaughter. 3 of whom are visiting this weekend. I am feeling better. I think the biggest thing is that I got some much needed sleep.   Well gotta go and speed sometime with the grandsons.   Kymmie

      I saw this concert in which it is said that the famous phrase of Jon Landau "I saw the future of rock and roll and his name is Bruce Springsteen" comes from that night. By the way Bruce opened for Bonnie Raitt that night and she was the better performer . . . just sayin'.
