Everything seems too easy. All my life I’ve run into headwinds and had to slog through it. Someone is sure to remind  me soon that I’m not in Kansas anymore! When will the honeymoon be over? Is it ok to be happy?


 

Ride the wave!?‍♀️

Good morning everyone,

 

It's really closer to afternoon here in the eastern timezone, and I'm about to leave for the weekend.

 

The coffee was, HOT, black, and strong, without being bitter. (Folgers Black Silk)

 

My Suzie, had a bit of an anger fit once my books arrived. She thinks I have another companion who is meeting my emotional needs, and she's not talking about my therapist. She went back to blaming me for dragging her into my closet.

 

We're hosting a birthday party for our youngest grandson this weekend, so hopefully things smooth over.

 

Hugs,

 

Mindy??️‍⚧️?

I'm a little torn here. On the one hand, I'm glad you're moving forward. On the other hand, it sucks that you have to leave your house. On the gripping hand, the Christmas thing is... not great. May the future bring your nothing but happiness, fulfillment and fluffy marshmallow unicorns!

 

Hugs!

One of my favorite shops does this. Their models are.. improbable. There are a lot of pieces I look at and think, "That looks amazing!" then remind myself, "That looks amazing ON HER."

 

Hugs!

I like what you said about riding the wave. The good thing is there’s an endless supply of them. Get back on that surfboard girl!

Probably my first ever. Unless you count Army days but you have your buddies at least.  I will figure things out.  I was the person in the neighborhood that decorated all the common areas and went all Clark Griswold in the front yard.  Heart definitely not into that this year.

Tomorrow is our annual golf tournament at work. I haven't been to one in almost 20 years and with my other "developments" I'm a little nervous about it. To start with the club is very exclusive and then there will almost all of my co-workers and their SOs, plus some of our vendors. I already know a few people have feelings about me. Granted I do have the complete support of the owner, VP and a few other high ups so I'm not overly worried but will be, as always, on alert for any haters.

 

Regardless, I have a cute outfit that meets the clubs dress code and I intend to have fun.

That sounds like so much fun! Big question. Will you play from the ladies tees!?

I forgot about the ladies tee. I guess it's only appropriate that I do. Not that it'll make much difference since it's been a good 15 years since the last time I played. Who knows, maybe I'll be better now that have my head on straight.

Just got it. Cups are too big. Maybe try 40b with band extender.

I measured 40B as well but have yet to get my first bra.

Need to know how that dress fits with your new profile though. I'm betting you're rocking it even harder.

I seriously think I'm going to have a wardrobe function any minute but women apparently have been wearing things like this for years and somehow they stay up. lol

According to the standard method of measuring, I am a 42b. Boy was that wrong.?

If I use the method from ittybittybra.com i'm a 42aa. So i'm trying a 42a. If it doesn't fit, i'll stuff it.

My breasts still tender, so supposedly still growing. If the girls don't achieve at least a full 42b, i'll be looking at getting a BA.

@Bri2020, you look great!

 

I hit a new milestone today: I got classically, verifiably mansplained.  There was a discussion on the astronomy club mail list about going to the club observatory.  One fellow mentioned that there was a limit of 10 people, due to covid restrictions.  Not wanting people to be denied access on a beautiful night, I pointed out that the current limit was 25.  Him: "Yes, but club policy limits it to 10 people."  Me: "As the author of that policy, I can assure you it is currently 25."  ? ?

Congratulations? Usually when I get mansplained it's something involving cars. As I'm clueless anyway, I don't mind so much. Anyway, I have a shirt that says...

 

Teach a man to fish and he’ll turn around and try to teach you to fish like he shirt

 

Never realized how true that was pre-transition. At least it means we're passing as women, right?

 

Hugs!

      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.

      Germany has more castles than there are McDonald's in the United States. Yep, you heard that right. Germany is estimated to have 25,000 castles, and there are around 13,000 McDonald's locations in America.   In Washington state, there's a real-life law stating it's illegal to kill bigfoot and other sasquatch-like creatures.

      DREAD f you’re anticipating something positive, you’re probably motivated to summon all your patience to wait for it—and sometimes for extended time periods. It may be counter-intuitive, yet in certain instances such waiting can itself be gratifying. Consider Carly Simon’s song “Anticipation,” the old Heinz ketchup ads, and—especially—recent research pointing in the opposite direction as regards awaiting something highly aversive. In this post I won’t be reviewing ketchup commercials, but I will be exploring some intriguing research on dread-infused anticipation.

      So an update from me.   Had my endo appointment last night. Went very well and they are sending 3 months supply of estrogen (estradoil patches) and the anti-androgens whilst my Dr gets a shared care agreement sorted out. So happy, should start HRT tomorrow!! Cost for the 3 month supply is £70 total for me, so not too bad. Not told my parents about this yet, but them being in spain, not sure they need to know yet.   Can't wait to start, just got to think about where to put the patches now and wait for the changes...

      Good Morning    well it’s Friday for most, pay day for some.  For me it’s pay day but not Friday.  I work the same opening shift tomorrow.  I typically have Friday on Saturday and Monday on Tuesday.     @KymmieL it does sound like your shop has an issue and you are smack in the thick of it.  The new gal or guy often is.  We have an issue with new people not getting fully trained before being turned loose on customers.  Some struggle through it and some quit because of it.  I try to get them working with customers as quickly as I can but I stay right with them observing, helping, even jumping in when things are getting backed up to keep the stress down.  Not everything comes up during training so when things do, even later after trying is done, I try to help and explain.  Our ASM feels that once she has you scanning barcodes and taking money she is done training.  Generally, refuses to train me on things that she does, and questions why I’m doing something that she normally handles when I’ve been told to do it as part of my advancement training.     She and the cashier involved both keep trying to toss the manager under the bus over a hours of work issue and shifts.  I tell her I realize her issues and I’ll work what ever she needs.  Because of that I tend to get a better more consistent schedule.   Well, time to say Happy Trails to you, until we meet again.   Hi ho Silver, away   Willow

      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.
