Good morning All. Coffees on.

[Willow]

@LindaMarie well you guessed part of it.  If the ground crew that drains the tank doesn’t get it properly sealed, the toilet waste will leak and freezes pretty quickly to the fuselage at 38000 ft.  When the plane is descending to land, there is a point where the leak will start to thaw and will fall from the sky.

 

the moral of the story is never live in the flight path to an airport.

 

well it’s 3am.  I’ve been awake for two hours.  Seems I didn’t get all the lines secure and it is windy.  The loose lines make a lot of noise.  It’s not bothering my wife or the dog, but then it was my job.  No I’m not going out alone in the middle of the night. I don’t have a safety line rigged.

 

oh well who needs sleep.

I’m popping the big SRS question to my therapist shortly. Wish me luck.

I'm actually with your wife and dog on this one. I mean it's kind of loud, but I find that sound really soothing. I'd totally be able to sleep through that too.

 

Hugs!

This is the answer to life. If it’s not bothering the spouse or pets, then it must be all good.

Hey-o.

 

Had a great appointment with my stylist. Got a simple trim with a taper, and a blowout. Looks great. Also got my eyebrows done. It always amazes me how huge a difference eyebrows make.

The last rose of summer. Winter rain-storm today, but a carefully selected window between rains left space for a bike ride and shopping. Works better than coffee to wake me.

cheers,

Davie

That is gorgeous!  I'd love to own a bike.  I'll have to look into that.  I used to be a runner but I think those days are behind me.  Bike riding is probably a better option for me going forward.

[Becoming Diana]

I'm enjoying my coffee before getting ready to go to work in my thrift shop.  I'm the assistant manager there.  I came out as trans two weeks ago and hearing everyone call me Diana is the best feeling.

Seen my cardiologist today. everything looks good. Of course out of shape. I just need to get off my dead arse and do some exercise. Cholesterol is border line between low and mid range. will revisit him in a year. Then maybe do something.

Good afternoon 

 

I did get a couple hours more sleep.  Mostly it was a sun shade I hadn’t secured making banging on the hull.  Then, the 5 halyards on the mast were all banging. That’s the more annoying one.

 

todays projects anchoring the Bimini to the frame.  Attached the bottom of the outboard holder to the safety rail and reattached a vent hose to it’s through hull.  At high tide we will turn the boat around so I can easily clean the port side of the hull.  This Marina has 15’ fingers between every pair of boats.

 

@KymmieL sounds like your cholesterol is in check.  That’s always good. My total runs between 125 and 150 but I take a statin to achieve that.

 

@Becoming Dianamy wife and I own four bikes.  We used to ride a lot.  But not so much right now.  Good intentions.

 

@Erica Gabriel good wishes on piping the question.  It’s actually all depends on you.  Been classified with gender dysphoria?  Been on hrt at least 12 months?  Able to make sound decisions?  Nobody pushing you into it?  
 

I got my letters last august, then backed out.  But I’m ready to go as soon as I can now.  Unfortunately life is in the way for at least the next 6 months.

I don't remember how old you are. Some insurance comes with Silver Sneakers. It will pay 100% of gym membership in most cases. If you're not sure, go to their website and put in your info to check. At gym you will need the Silver Sneakers # and your ID.

My first love, my high school sweetheart texted me this morning after I did a coming out online and offered her support as well as desired to be updated on my progress. What a suprise.

But then again, she is a kind and compassionate soul that we have maintained a friendship for over 30 years now, in some form. She's not a heavy makeup wearer from what I know, but I am sure she can guide me on fashion and self-care. 

On the other end of the spectrum, my GD is raging today and the last of nicotine effects is out of my system after a week and I had a difficult time getting a clean shave because although all the grey hairs were poking out, most of the black were still flush or buried after 3 days post laser.

So I guess I'm going to have to let it go for longer after the Zap.

Either that or some of the hairs needed to fall out because foundation did it's job, but it seemed like as the day wore on, the bumpiness went down and after I took off makeup, it didn't look as bad. So I assume there were dead hairs still in because I didn't mess with my face at all for three days except for cleans.

IDK, it's all pretty weird lol.  I got an 8 hour growth from the dark hair over 3 days after one zap. I guess that's how it's supposed to work. I took pics and will talk with the tech in a few weeks.

Anyway, time to start doing the needle soon, as I am going to have to go hard as I can while my face is still tougher before HRT kicks in.

My wife just painted my toenails for me.  A pretty shade of pink.  I love that we can have a relationship like this.

[Jamie68]

Looking to buy a wig. These are the ones My spouse and I liked.

[Maddee]

@Jamie68

I think any of them would be interesting to see on you, my opinion leads towards #3 or 4

Have fun!

I hate how I can never blow out my hair as well as my stylist ?. I had my brows waxed yesterday too. They were going all Neanderthal on me! Oh, and did I mention my electrolysis session? Ye-ouch!!! 

[Xrystiana]

I kinda like the dark hair with the blonde highlights.

[Jamie68]

Thanks girls. While # 3 and 4 are cute and fun looking, I don't know if I can pull it off at my age. I'm leaning toward # 2. 

The one I get will also be determined by the quality and natural look. I'm going through Hair Club. I'm hoping they have something that I can try on.

[Vidanjali]

@Mmindy thanks for sharing the all accessible restroom sign. It's funny how a restroom sign can be so gratifying! 

 

@Jamie68 I'm partial to the "Eden", the last wig. I think blonde would flatter your complexion, and of the two blondes, I think the ash blonde may be more flattering than the golden blonde. Whichever you choose, I hope you feel beautiful wearing it! Now that I think of it, you can easily test what color you prefer by visiting your local beauty supply store, like a Sally's, and holding the different dye color hair swatches up to your face. (And if they have wigs the public is allowed to try on, so much the better.) 

[Vidanjali]

In other news, these two cuties hatched this morning. I believe they're both female (a bit harder to tell when their wings are closed). ???

[Marcie Jensen]

I agreee with Maddie that any of them would be interesting. Here's what's funny about people. I like the first two better!   But as she says, have fun!
