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. 🫂❤️

Sorry to hear this. Hope things get better.❤️

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.

Sorry to butt in again. Liz, I wish you and your partner the best.

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.

      I have no skin in the game here, apart from the signal that a re-elected Trump sends to likeminded politicians around the world, which would result in an indirect yet detrimental effect on many people here and elsewhere. So, hopefully what I write here can be used as a reference for how he, and American politics in general, is viewed from a country that is not directly involved.   It seems to me that politics is not taken seriously by enough people in America. Actually, specifically the USA (America can be anywhere from Prudhoe Bay to Panama to Patagonia). Electing a celebrity to high office just wouldn't happen here, let alone one who has overseen the bankruptcy of several of his business ventures and is embroiled in hush-money scandals. I remember during my teenage years when Reagen was elected; the main point of conjecture here was that he was just a B-grade actor. Equally laughable was Arnie as governor of California, although he turned out to be somewhat more socially progressive than most Republican politicians.    I simply cannot understand why the Dems cannot find a decent candidate. Biden has cognitive issues. Everyone expected Harris to step up by now, but no. Where's Jed Bartlet when you need him, lol! In my mind, if Martin Sheen threw his hat in the ring, he'd be elected in a heartbeat because many of you would actually believe that he was the real deal! Even though he's older than Biden!!!   Sorry if that sounds like I am trying to insult the intelligence of y'all. But y'all asked for it, by valuing celebrity over substance over the last five decades or so.    I have no doubt that Trump will win in November, even if he is in jail. His rusted-on supporters will just say, "Yep! That's our boy!!!"

      Well said.    Although this so-called Project 2025 will not affect me directly in an immediate sense, it sends a signal to equivalent minded people and political parties around the world that it is okay to exclude minorities and indeed, to persecute them.   In my humble opinion, the far-right politicians know damn well that there is a very large cohort of less-than-intelligent people out there who are not capable of critical thinking and believe every skerrick of dog-whistling, fearmongering, "they're-out-there-to-get-you" rhetoric. Pander to their rural and village attitudes and you're on a winner!    Correcting them with logic and science won't work; they just double down and get louder with their petulance on full display.

      Just waking up so I'm in my pajamas - blue/white madras shorts, a navy blue t-shirt and my sleep bra with sleep-rated breast forms.   Thank you @Susan R for telling us about your mastectomy bra and forms fitting experience before your BA surgery and how sleeping in the bra/forms helped with the dysphoria.    First, hearing about your courage to get fitted gave me the confidence and courage to go out in public.   And, second, finding sleep mastectomy bras and sleep-rated breast forms (I found a set on eBay for a good price) has been a tremendous boost to my feeling comfortable in my pajamas and nightgowns and tamping down my dysphoria and dysmorphia.

      Germany has more castles than there are McDonald's in the United States. Yep, you heard that right. Germany is estimated to have 25,000 castles, and there are around 13,000 McDonald's locations in America.   In Washington state, there's a real-life law stating it's illegal to kill bigfoot and other sasquatch-like creatures.

      DREAD f you’re anticipating something positive, you’re probably motivated to summon all your patience to wait for it—and sometimes for extended time periods. It may be counter-intuitive, yet in certain instances such waiting can itself be gratifying. Consider Carly Simon’s song “Anticipation,” the old Heinz ketchup ads, and—especially—recent research pointing in the opposite direction as regards awaiting something highly aversive. In this post I won’t be reviewing ketchup commercials, but I will be exploring some intriguing research on dread-infused anticipation.

      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.
