Welcome, @christinakristy2021 to our coffee clutch.

 

I had voice therapy. it is hard trying to remember to use my feminine voice. doubly hard since I am living two lives.

 

I stopped E for about 2 weeks. Then went back to hiding it.

Thanks, @KymmieL

Internal crisis averted. I got a call and am on the schedule to meet with a new therapist next Tuesday. I’ll happily take it as my coming out day gift. ?

I had to look this one up. Looks like a nice place. Way south of my house.

Good morning again from Rend Lake, today is pack up and leave day. Family and friends were here last weekend, Monday and Tuesday, so my manor of dress was, black leggings or joggers,  camo pattern teeback undershirt, and plaid over shirt. One friend warned, I was very close to looking like a lesbian. I countered, well you’re safe because we both like girls. They left Wednesday morning, and since they, I have been full on lesbian, and my Suzie is starting to be more comfortable with my choices.

 

As usual the coffee was HOT, black, and strong.

 

Hugs,

Coffee was hot with cream, then the construction people over again. We are having the master bath remodeled.

So far so good.

Nothing else going on, just a normal Thursday.

Hi all 

 

spending the night in Charleston.  Already checked in to our hotel.  I have an appointment with my throat Doc tomorrow for another Botox injection to control spasms in my larynx.  Yes, sticking a needle through the side of my throat multiple times is rather unpleasant.  But the weeks I get without spasms or choking are worth it.

Oh no. Not that. How awful. (Sarcasm obviously, I'm gay as heck.)

 

I mean seriously though, what does a lesbian look like? I know cis/het women who work in all walks of life from automotive mechanics to blacksmiths. I mean there aren't enough gym teacher positions available for ALL of us.

 

Hugs!

IDK, but today when I kinda had to wear boy clothes because I went unshaved for my electro consult, I looked in the mirror with my plaid pants hanging off my hips and an oversized sleeveless tshirt tucked in and literally said, "holy crap, I look like a lesbo."

OK, fair. I wore flannel, sleeveless shirt and jeans with my canvas shoes to work today. I mean it's a stereotype but...

Hey hey hey everyone! Had a great day today. Early this morning at work, I was working on an ATM, just as I was finishing up a lady walks up. “Miss can we use that machine now?” Guess my posture and the hormones are making some great changes! Between that and the fact that I broke down and got a BIG soda today (I’ve been trying to cut out and haven’t had more than a 20oz in months) I have been running high on life and crazy hyper!

That sounds so unpleasant! I'm glad it's at least able to give you a few weeks of relief though. HUGS

Did (one of the two) the monthly support zooms last night. The guest was an endocronologist who was a great advocate for trans folk. I asked him about the take that it's dangerous to go on HRT. 

 

The paraphrased answer:  "NO. NO. It's not significantly dangerous when done correctly by a appropriate clinician, it's not dangerous. It's just making a person have the hormones they should have always had. No more dangerous than any other medicine. Oxygen has side effects. Water has side effects. Everything has side effects. We weigh the benefits and the risks and HRT is not significantly more dangerous than any other medication."

 

Someone asked him why he wanted to be a doctor, again the paraphrase:

 

"I'm helping people have the lives they always wanted. Selfishly, it feels so wonderful to help them go through those changes. Being able to help those people is why I went into medicine."

ThT is such a great question! Thanks for sharing. I thought about joining one of those calls a while back but never put it in my schedule. I need to do that!

That is a FANTASTIC reason to go into medicine. We need more people like that.

@stveee the same thoughts here.

 

@Jackie C., I love and encourage the cis/het women in my family and friends circle to get into the trades and pursue their careers. I’m also proud that the trade unions have always been for equal opportunity and pay. 
 

@Willow, I hope you have a great weekend.
 

Good morning everyone,

I’m at AndyMohrFord Plainfield,IN having the truck serviced 230,650 miles and still pulling strong. The coffee here is good, the WiFi is able to keep me logged into my work files, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram all at the same time. 
 

Hugs,

It's just broke in. They make them better than they used to. I have an 07 vibe with 450,000 + miles that still runs good. Didn't change plugs till 232,000 miles and they still looked good. Turned out I just had to clean the mass air flow sensor.

There's been a lot of new developments on my home-front. We've been able to talk a lot more openly about pretty much everything. Seeing me in a dress or skirt doesn't bother her anymore. Out in the wild we can act like we're together. She even suggested I consider getting hair extensions since mine grows so slow. Last night I was able to finally ask the big question that had been weighing on mind for the last couple of years. Would she have stayed with me if she had not gotten sick? Yes, she said she would have. She loves me for who I am not what's in my pants. It's just taken a long time for her to get over the bomb I dropped on her when I came out. I think we are actually, finally in a good place. Just in time for me to start the next leg of journey.

Liz, I’m so happy for you two, and hope my Suzie comes around to this same feeling. Time is on my side. Going slow.

Keeping the engine clean inside and out will always add life.

      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."
