So any way I was asked this about the so called deal, Linda, how in the world did you "hold out"?

My reply was, well kind of embarrassing, but true. So here goes, I was wearing my Wonder Woman panties.

 

BTW, I'm no fool, I'm holding out, money talks.

Well, it’s been very windy and that. makes it very noisy.  They said th rain would begin after 1am and the leading edge of the first band is about 12 miles south and closing fast.   Closest snow isn’t a couple stared NW but it’s coming to SC too.  Calling for up to 20 inches in the mountains  that’s enough to shut down those roads around here until.it melts.  @LindaMarie I presume you are about to get snowed in too.   Dry pretty lots, I don’t blame you at all for hanging on to them.  

Soon to be wet, Willow

Good morning 

 

well, the rain, ice or snow has begun.  For us it should remain as rain all day.  The wind kept me up most of the night.  TV antenna is down.  I will have to fix that later.  I just have it clamped to a flag halyard and rigged to use a cable stay so it doesn’t swing and bang.  It came loose from the cable.  Then I’ll check for any other wind damage.  
 

@LindaMarie I hope you are ok in your mountain home.  
 

So, we went shopping yesterday.  First we went to a restaurant I knew my wife would want.  I didn’t ask or say anything just went there. She says to me, I was hoping you’d come here.  Between us we bought some new tops, and Hugs brand leggings.

 

Then to a home improvement store where we bought an inexpensive medicine cabinet mostly for the mirror.  Now the question is do I hang the box or just the mirror. We will see later today.

 

Plan for today, stay dry, as much as possible, find and fix water leak.  Finish running new power lint to the helm.  I already have it inside so I’m dry.  The only thing that requires me to get wet is the stupid antenna.

 

Be safe if you have been or will be caught in this storm.

 

Hugs

 

Willow

Good morning all. @Willow Thanks, we got 4 inches so far and still coming down.

Hope all is good your way.

 

Not much else going on, just the white stuff falling from the sky.

This one brings back a night mare. Last time we got snow like this I

was up on the roof cleaning the dish for the wife.

I fell from the roof hit the drive way. Broke 7 ribs, broke my back in 2 places, crushed my chest.

I've never been up there again.

Had a belated Christmas dinner at my BIL's new house last night. It went good. I'm not sure why he needed to buy a 3br 2.5 bath house for just himself and his GF that lives there part-time but whatever makes him happy. The gifts were small and well thought out which was a welcomed relief. In past years it felt like everyone was competing to see who could spend the most money. I'm a simple girl and was a little over excited about a reusable makeup eraser cloth I received. It effortlessly removes makeup using just water.

 

My partner on the other hand isn't doing too good. I think her health is taking a downward turn.  She was up late on Friday and up for while early Saturday morning. I had woken up around 5am with really bad stomach cramps. They were unlike anything I had ever felt before. Anyways....she went back to sleep. Her breathing sounded intermittent and labored. We had to leave around 4pm so I started trying to get her out of bed around 2. It was quit the struggle as she kept trying to circle back bed instead of getting ready.  She slept the whole (30 minute) ride to her brother's hose despite me playing MY music. Once there, she crashed-out on his couch until it was time to go. Slept again on the way home and then went straight to bed. Another thing that's got me thinking thing are getting bad is that hasn't had a cigarette in over 24 hours. I know she still smokes since she asked to me go grab them for her when we were leaving.

 

My emotions are precariously perched for time being but things could turn around and get better for her.

@Elizabeth Star, I'm sorry your partner is not doing as well as you would hope. It can be very difficult to watch a loved one's health deteriorate. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi just a quick note on weather. Friday we got hit with a "weather bomb", snow and lots of it. 30 cm (15 inches)  which started out just around freezing temps but quickly changed to snow with strong winds. By late evening it was snowing heavily, turned bitterly cold, and very windy. Temp by then was minus 12C (10 F) with a wind minus 24 or so. Saturday morning it had dropped to minus to minus 20 (-5F )with wind chill of -34 (-20F ). 

Trying to cleared all that snow was a real job for me. Kept losing my breath the wind taking it away with me having COPD but little by little ( and being stubborn to git it done ) got most cleared. I will finish when it warms a little. 😄

 

So ready for a nice warm day.  👍

 

@Elizabeth Stargood wishes for your partner and for you to stay strong my dear. 🫂❤️

Thanks everyone. Things got a lot worse. Although she was breathing she was unresponsive.  I ended up calling an ambulance. I was able to go to the hospital and give them her information. As of an hour ago there was no update.

Hi

 

we made it through.  Couple of leaks I wasn’t expecting.  A port hole wasn’t screwed down tight enough and our main hatch always leaks but it was a bigger leak than normal.

 

we did some cleaning and reorganization. Up side we have a bit of free space, bad news, I can’t stretch out.

 

@Elizabeth Star  I’m sorry your partner is worse.  I hope she gets better and sees the light to quit.

 

@LindaMarie your snow looks pretty, but I’m glad I haven’t had to clear snow for 5 years.  We used to live in the Shenandoah Valley.  Blue Ridge on one side and Appalachian on the other.  We could get lots of snow especially when the conditions were like they are today.  I actually think we are done with the rain but definitely not done with the wind.  I can see breaks in the clouds.

I got an update on my partner a little while ago. I was able to get our pcp involved so at least I'm getting straight answers. She has sever pneumonia, high fever and some sort of viral infection. They did have to put her a respirator. I was also told that due to Covid I'm not allowed to visit her and she will most likely be there for a few weeks but also there is a chance, due to her underlying health issue, she won't recover. So far, for me, it hasn't entirely sunk in yet so I'm doing OK. I don't know what I'd do without her. I know we've been fighting a lot lately and I've been praying for it to end but like this...not like this.😭

Oh, I am so sorry that your wife is going through this, @Elizabeth Star.  I know things have been rough for you lately, but no one wants this.  Hang in there, do what you have to do, and know that you can lean on any of us for help.

Liz, I hope your partner is doing. Prayers for a speedy recovery. I know even with the rough patches you two have had. I know you still care. With all the covid crap and everything, I would think that a hospital would look at a spouse being able to be with their SO. especially in these cases.

 

All of you in the East can have the white crap and cold weather, I am so done with it. But I know that I still have a few more months of it. As long as I have some nice weather before and in mid May. I have things I need to do to the wagon to get her ready for the road trip to Bowling Green, KY.

It's a horrible feeling seeing the one you love, your soul mate in such a state, and knowing there is nothing you can do to help but pray. My prayers are with both you and your wife. ❤️

Liz, like many before me my thoughts are with you as you navigate this. It's got to be hard to watch her health go down hill the last years but it's got to be even doubly hard to NOT watch while she is in isolation in an ICU. My heart breaks for you. Even if people are fighting, it doesn't mean they don't care or love each other, it just means there are things that are challenging each of you as a couple. Try not to worry about the fights, or feel guilty about them. It certainly seems like those were not at all you doing anyways. From a former kids ICU RN- call in to the nurses station for a report around 6am. The night nurses are usually just doing some last paperwork before the day shift comes in. Ask what the plan is for the day.  Then call back around 9-10am. They should have had the medical team rounds by then and the nurses typically have a little lull in the med schedule around then so you have a better chance of catching your nurse for a report on what the doctors said and planned during rounds. The RNs are used to this with Covis over the last 2 years. If possible, you can usually go to a 'meeting room" or waiting area outside of the ICU  and a nurse or doctor can fill you in there. Ask for zoom meetings, sometimes a nurse can do that so you can listen in on rounds and ask questions. 

Hugs

One of the nurses called me a few minutes ago and I have an update on my partner. She was moved a few hours ago to ICU, is sedated and still on a ventilator. Apparently her potassium levels are extremely high and her kidneys are not functioning properly so for now she's on a sodium bicarb drip. The nurse told me he will call if anything changes overnight and will give me an update again in the early morning.

      Nothing wrong with that. I'm glad that you found what makes you happy! Just curious what does your wife think? If it's too personal I understand.

      Bob was on his way home from the dojo and he "just happened" to driver by her place. It was 10:30.  Her light was still on.  He knew exactly where she was sitting.  He saw her in his mind.   A fierce wave of desire that took his breath away suddenly showed up. All he had to do was stop, get out of the car, walk to the door and knock.  She would answer, glad to see him.  She would know why he was there and what he wanted. She would invite him in, maybe get him something to drink, disappear for a moment and return in "something more comfortable."  She would lead him back. Oh, joy.   And never, ever speak to him again afterwards.  Or she would not let him in but be angry about it.  In no way, emotionally, physically, mentally or spiritually, was she ready for this, and he knew it, if he was honest with himself, and she knew he knew it.  She would look upon it as another assault and their relationship would be irretrievably broken.  He would have to leave town. It would devastate her. It would devastate him.    He fought himself.  He was frozen to his seat as his reason and his body fought. He was twenty four years old, a full-blooded male with normal desires; he had just worked out and he was ready.  All he had to do now was open the car door. No one would know. He held his hands, one in the other, to keep one from moving, against his reason and will, to open that door.  He did not want to be a slave of his desires.   He looked across the street.  Mrs. McCarthy, sister of his landlord, was peeking though her window.  She knew his car.  Everyone in town would know by noon the next day if he got out of the car.  Taylor did not need that, either, and she would know, if he came to the door now, what a selfish thing it would be: in his own eyes, in the eyes of Taylor, in the eyes of the town, and worst of all, in the eyes of God.   He sat there a moment longer.  He was, as he reflected, entering into her sufferings in a small way that she would be made whole, healthy and happy: what he wanted more than anything.  But this hurt.  Why had all this come on her?  He asked God again, but there was only silence. He drove home in that silence. He chided himself for even going on her street and for driving on it other nights.  He would stop that, he told himself.   ------------------------------------------   The next morning Taylor went out to her car to go to work.  Mrs. McCarthy met her before she got to it. "I thought you were going to get lucky last night, dearie," she said. Taylor was puzzled. "Why, what do you mean?" "That young fellow - you know, Bob - he's been driving around here, going up and down the street some nights, not stopping.  Well, last night he parked and sat in his car for a while.   I think he was staring at your window.  I think he was trying to get up the courage to knock on the door. I was rooting for him.   But then he drove away.  Faint heart never won fair lady, as they say. What a shame. You two are a lovely couple.  Well, have a good day!" "Thank you, Mrs. McCarthy."  Taylor knew Bob extremely well and knew what had been going through his mind.  She was more than grateful he had not gotten out of the car. Better for him, better for her, better for everybody.  Surgery "down there" sooner than later.  This was driving the poor boy crazy. It was driving her crazy, too.  But she had a lot to work through. Surgery "up here" she said, pointing to her head.  She woke up her therapist on the way to work.  They were still talking when she pulled into her designated parking spot.  That was a perk that had happened yesterday.  She took a deep breath and headed into work. It would be another wild day.

      I'm thinking about some interactions yesterday I did, while presenting as male but acting as female, that were far better than I did when I was presenting as male and acting as male.  #girlunderhood. I do a crappy job at acting as male and I am giving it up.  I am not talking about feminine gestures or presentation but just relating as a woman.  People don't realize I am doing it but it is a whole lot easier to do.   You don't just put on a dress and BOOM you are a girl.  You are a girl and you put on a dress.  Or not. Whether I am in jeans or a skirt (I wish, wife would have lots to say) I am a girl.  I don't need $250 in makeup and heels and hose and all that.  I don't need surgery. Honey, I have arrived.  Now I have to work out how that best works in my life, causing the minimal damage and creating the maximum good, but I have more working room.   Oh, and I am still pissed off at everyone and everything. #Contradictory.

      @Willow it is certainly possible that my husband planned it. Placing me in the path of an opportunity....he certainly does things like that. GF has done some work for the company as an outside consultant, so I'm sure the company owner knows what potential resources are around.    It could also have just happened randomly. He has taken me to work with him before, just because he likes to have me around. I remember one time that I fell asleep with my head in his lap, and he held a meeting with his subordinates without waking me and making me move.  The company culture is family oriented and relaxed.

      The photo is great.  Software is phenomenal but it also is sort of a promise of things to come. Years ago this sort of thing took a photographer and Photoshop and all sorts of things and you would say, "I can look like THIS??"   Me, I am a duck.  That's from my driver's license.  Just kidding.

      This is a great analogy. The statement is true as it relates to the tree. The analogy fits because we as a LGBTQIA community are stronger when we stand together. It also work here on Transgender Pulse Forums. The support I feel from so many others has made me comfortable with my stance, because I'm in a beautiful forest of friends. So when I'm out alone and confronted. I can respond and act like the single tree in the field, surviving whatever comes my way. My roots reach back and communicate with others like me.    Standing Strong,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
