Oh wow it is so easy to feel like a slug now that I really can't go out!  I did go out for a short trip today. (YEAH!)  Needed a battery in my truck so I ordered online and when I got to the store a guy came out to place it in the trunk and take the old one away.  So much for human interaction!  I'll install it tomorrow.  I noted that I'm getting 4 weeks per gallon in my car now!

Hey everyone, 

 

I work collections for a bank. Loans. We are so busy! I signed up for overtime all this week and 4 hrs on Sat. It will be long days but I need to make up for the government taking the money that was suppose to be used to help me and gave it to my ex. The check was for 1700 and 1305 given to her. I still haven’t got the remaining in my account? I’m going to call and find out why. It wasn’t I wasn’t paying. I have money coming out of my check every check. I was backed up when I didn’t have a job for 2 months. 
 

These days are hard but I have established ways to make working at home easier. I play movies in the background. Each movie last certain hours. So I know when I’m getting close to ending my shift. Customers can’t hear as long as I keep the volume down. Yesterday I watched the full Divergent Series. Also recently bough 3 dresses. I can wear what I want without anyone judging me. That’s a plus! 
 

I’m talking to this person also. At one time I wanted to get romantically involved with them. We are texting every night. This person does not know about my female side though. I don’t know how they would react. Something I have to think about I know. Paying as many bills as I can. 
 

Writing stories and watching movies and shows small walks seem to be working. Now that I will be working 8am to 7pm. There won’t be much time to fill. This is actually a good thing. I know I will need to be careful about job burnout especially since all you hear is sad stories. 

Tessa is doing her part by helping. I hope you are well and doing good! Talking on this site helps because people do reply. I have friends here. Thank you 

 

Love Tessa?‍?

Hi Tessa, I'm on break at work and finally brought the website up on my phone. Make sure you practice self care, I get into overwhelm at work very easily. Especially with my long hours. I may take a hot bubble bath tonight and shave my legs. Take care!

My husband and I not too happy this week.Two of our tow truck drivers ran 4 of the tow trucks out of diesel fuel.My son Tyler warned them they better fuel up them before it happened.He saw there was not much fuel in them,my husband and I knew he was telling the truth.With him,it is to the station to fuel up before going to the scene if the gauge reads low first.Had to bleed the air out of the fuel system which is a pain.

Ugh!  That's the kind of weather where I'd be happy to be on lockdown.

 

You are not that far from me.  I hope your weather isn't coming this way.  I have had enough snow for this winter.

 

Stay safe!

56 right now, going to be 72 this afternoon! I'm going to break from my routine by having a second cup of coffee so I can sit out on my patio and drink it. I've been waiting all winter for the chance to do this!

Jeez what a heck of a way to wake up.  Got woken up by my kids trying to open the front door and setting off the alarm system.  Got that taken care of and managed about another hour of sleep.  Then got up and got coffee to run out to the boys school to see about getting Chromebooks for them to do school work on.  Only to get told I have to come back on Friday for them.  

 

GRRR I need a LOT more coffee LOL.

  Sorry, getting caught up, but I have only seen food getting brought out on roller skates in movies and old tv shows.  Its disapointing, that no one does it around here.

Been a hard couple of days. My very close brother-in-law who has been ill with kidney failure over the past month died last evening of cardiac arrest.  He was extremely close to everyone in our family even though my sister (his late wife) died years ago. He was the person who indirectly started me on my path of transition by shedding light on my denial and telling me the family knows about me and they will accept me as I am.  This was all true. I will miss him. RIP Tom

I'm sorry for your family's loss Susan.  Take the time to think of him and smile.  He'll always be in your heart.

      My mother's maiden name is Schwinegruber, and to say that cabbage in all forms of use for our dinner table is an understatement.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      So, I jumped on the "E" train last week and am about 10 days into my HRT journey. I have the tiniest patch available. I laughed when I opened it. "This little thing is supposed to give me more feminine characteristics?"   I haven't really felt much of anything so far, not that I expected to at this point. I am really, really tired but that may be other factors (like staying up too late to watch NCAA basketball every night). The one noticeable difference is that my libido seems to be a lot more subdued. Not that I am proud of this, but the big M was a practically a daily part of life for me. My daily comfort and way to get an endorphin hit or just deal with loneliness. The past week, though, has been, "meh." Is that the HRT tamping things down? Or just a normal down cycle for me? Not sure yet. Time will tell.   I have been very quiet about things overall. Only a few people know. No one in my immediate family. I fear the backlash I will get when they find out. Worst- case scenario, my daughters stop talking to me. That would kill me. I hope I can show them over time, "See, I am still me."   Met with my endo on Wednesday. He is good for me to up the dose when I feel comfortable. For now, I think I am going to stand pat and take things nice and slow. Of course, I could see myself tomorrow asking him to send in the script for the higher dose...   I keep asking myself, what is the end game with all of this. Unlike many on here, I don't have a concrete answer yet. I am not convinced I will "go all the way" and change my name and ID, etc. Part of me would love to soldier on just as I am but with a lot more feminine physical characteristics and a more distinctly feminine wardrobe. What does that make me? Non-binary? Not sure.  Again, I am just me, as unorthodox as that is...   All I know is that this is something I want to do. I am comfortable walking this path for now. Again, we'll see. As always, would appreciate any feedback the more experienced folks may have. Blessings to all!    EasyE

      I grew up with it, my mother's side were Germans.  I still like cabbage.  I make a sweet/sour dish with vinegar and brown sugar, add some bacon if you have it.  And in warmer weather, slaw.  I like that better if it's a few days old, and has worked off a little.

      Good Friday Morning    I will be spending a good portion of my day at church today.  I don’t know how any of my family would have been with me.  They all passed before I figured myself out.  I often think my mother and sister may have figured it out before I did but maybe it was just my depression that they saw.  I don’t know and never will.  My grandfather Young unconditionally loved me but he passed when I was 9.   Same with my wife’s parents, both gone before.  We’ve never had the greatest relationship with my wife’s brother but we do see them occasionally.  They words and actions aren’t always in sink when it comes to me.   Sour kraut or boil cabbage were never big even with my parents so that was something we were never expected to eat.  Nor was anything with mustard.  My mother hated mustard and it turns my stomach. My wife tried to sneak it into things early in our marriage but I could always tell.  She stopped after a while.   well I wave to go get ready to go to church.  I have a committee meeting at 10 and then we have a Good Friday Service at noon.   Willow

      Good morning everyone,   @KymmieLI hope you're misreading your bosses communications. As you say keep plugging a long. Don't give them signs that you're slow quitting, just to collect unemployment.   I have a few things to do business wise, and will be driving to the St. Louis, MO area for two family gatherings.   Have a great day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone, TGIFF   It seems like I am the one keeping or shop from being the best. According to the boss. I don't know if my days are numbered or not. But anymore I am waiting for the axe to fall. Time will tell.   I keep plugging a long.   Kymmie

      Having just a normal emotional day.

      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.
