This has been me since before the holidays. Been down in the dumps. A lot of it is seeing my wife being ill so much this season.I decided last night to just get off my arse and get to work. 

Had to go to Walmart yesterday, 12 degrees plus strong wind. Was wearing workout attire, ankle socks, exposed ankles because I didn't have any womens boots. I bought some while shopping. I love these for $20. A little tight. A half size smaller than normal.

Have a great day everyone.❤️

These are kind of cute. I really need to get a pair of proper fitting winter boots. A friend gave me a pair of UGGS a few months ago but she actually has bigger feet than me, 12w, I wear an 11. Otherwise I just have a pair of beat-up, oversized duck boots for working outside.

Jamie I know passing matters to some and others just don't care.

I worried about passing so much it took me over a year to actually walk out the door dressed and that was at night walking to the mailbox.

Went 24/7 and its been my normal for a long time for over 20 years.

Do I pass you might ask?  I get called ma'am 99% of the time so I guess most of the time I do. Worrying about it wouldn't change anything.

I don't worry about it. It would be nice to hear someone actually call me ma'am. It hasn't happened yet.

 

It's -4 degrees here this morning. woke up to the furnace off and 55 degrees in the house. Condensate drain isn't keeping up. Have to turn off furnace for 5 min. every hour & let it drain. Pipes in laundry room frozen. I must have unplugged it when I installed new washer & dryer. Not exactly how I wanted to start out my day. It'll get better. At least the coffee is fresh and hot.

Good Morning, 

 

Last night I had a very vivid dream in which I was pregnant. I haven’t had coffee yet since I’m not sure how it is safe for my unborn child 😉

To be fair, I would ABSOLUTELY wear scrotum egg earrings out to the club. Maybe THAT would keep the jerks off me.

 

Hugs!

Good morning 

 

Thanks for all the chuckles this morning.  
 

Jamie, I’m sorry life took a left turn when it comes to your heater.  My daughter has a lot of trouble with her condensate pump as well.  But the way hers was installed, it doesn’t shut down the furnace, it just overflows on the floor.  They need to put alarms on those things.

 

speaking of pumps, Jandi, do you have a hand dug well or a drilled well?  Just curious how you are bucketing water when the pump won’t reach.  Glad the water level has risen enough to use the pump again.

 

Speaking of vivid dreams, I have the strangest dreams these days.  I never used to and I wonder if it’s a result of my antidepressants or HRT.  Some are recurring.  Anybody else having strange dreams have a clue as to why?

 

Yes, it is very reassuring to hear someone referring to you with ma’am or ladies when I’m with my wife.  Happens most often in a customer service situation like check out or waitstaff.  It tends to surprise me how frequent it happens here in SC since it tends to be an anti Trans state, so I guess I’m doing something right.  I do still get sir even though I am dressed, carrying a purse, wearing makeup etc.  I’ve learned to ignore it.

 

I too have a difficult time finding shoes that fit.  No one seems to carry larger than 11 med. we do have a place nearby called Mega Shoe Show that carries up to size 13 in women’s.  I can often find something there and occasionally at Walmart.  Sometimes the other shoe stores that carry off season over stock have the big sizes but you have to keep checking.

 

Have a great day and if you are where it’s snowing again stay safe.

It's like that here too, especially when you get away from the bigger cities.

When I do get ma'am-ed it kinda makes my day.

 

The well is old hand-dug type.  Some aspects of my life are from times past.  

Weirdly, I have both an outhouse and internet.

With our temperatures dropping into the single digits last night, I made sure to leave the bathroom vanity doors open, because it's the only outside wall with plumbing in it. I hope your frozen pipes thaw without any leaks.

 

Winter life,

I was going to call the earrings ear testicles but the other name popped in my head.

I do have the perfect top to match them. so they really are keepers.

I have that same kind of interference. Our orange tabby want's to cuddle in between my arms and the keyboard.

I'm definitely going to look for a set of "Acorn" earrings to match my western wear.

I was asked once why I wear women's clothing.

I replied....duh, ever try to find men's clothing in the women's section?

Erica, is a boy or a girl?

 

Sorry I haven't been on in a couple of days. I have been way under the weather. Don't think it is covid again. Just the flu. Started last Sunday. called in to work on Mom, felt better Tues and Wed so went to work. Wed night had an upset stomach.  Yesterday, runs, deep hacking cough, headache. Slept most of the day. probably do the same today.

My outdoor thermometer is reading 81!  However, it’s in the sun.  More like low 50s. When I finish my new instrument panel the thermometer will be part of it.  Then it will be in the shade all the time.   I have some new canvas tarps coming from Harbor Freight but they are somewhere in transit. FedEx Ground.  I hope they aren’t in a ditch some where.  Maybe they are stuck on I 95 in Virginia.  Boy do I hate driving that section of the interstate.  Even on a good day it’s all backed up at Fredericksburg.  They have no trucks left lane posted all along there but they don’t enforce it so the truckers use all three lanes and go as fast as they can until one of them does something stupid and blocks the road. What ever you don’t be on that road in the summer at closing time for Kings Dominion.

 

someone who was stuck there commented about walking on I 95 like it never happens.  We were stuck one time and the kids were out of there cars playing with a basketball.  Nothing unusual there.

 

@Jandi it does sound like you are well off the beaten path.  Outhouse, hand dug well but modern conveniences inside.  I’d say not my cup of tea but then I’m living on a boat and have to pump out my black water tank every other day into a portable camper tank. Then every other time I have to take that to a state park to dump it.  That can get pretty messy and smelly too.  At least I have fresh water.  Piped in or out of an onboard tank through a pressure pump.

Tomorrow is the one year anniversary of me living in a house I own! As for negatives, it is terribly cold here compared to the rest of the state, where it's generally warmer, and the house is on the older side. Until signing the contract, I had NEVER lived in a house before, and it was so hard spending time in apartments all my life. It's one of those cute houses where you go in from the backdoor and it has so much character, dating back to the 1700s, although part of it was added on in the 1900s.

@Willow When I lived on the gulf coast, Texas City, I had auto mechanics during senior year of high school.

I also worked at the car wash. When I graduated high school for a brief time(2 months) I worked

at a boat boat repair shop, mechanics and fiber glass and such, as an Apprentice. 

Then the military.

I've been on a lot of boats when I returned from over seas, but never really wanted to

work on them again. I took a new coastal path, go for the ride, get off the boat, and let someone else

do the hard work.

I'm reading all your posts on your boat project. Just don't know how to reply to them.

Good luck and best wishes on your project.

Artpetal, isn't life so much more relaxing when your neighbors are separated by a property line and not a couple inches of drywall. Congratulations on being a home owner.

 

Best wishes, stay positive, and safe

That's good.

My son is living in (and working on) one from the 1800's.  They've found all kinds of things in the walls while remodeling.

Mine, while primitive, is no where near that old.

Old houses do have a character to them that new ones seem to lack.  I think it's from generations of people living in them over the years.

In my house 5 of my children were born, and my mother passed in the room that is my bedroom now.  I have no idea of what went on here before we came.  

Interestingly, the Fort Fisher Hermit lived next door (place is long gone) before moving to the beach.

      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.

      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."
