Good morning coffee lovers

 

I won’t be partaking today.  We are out of water!  The water main branch to the marina broke Sunday.  All they did was shut it down.  Yesterday it was supposed to be fixed.  Well the fix didn’t hold.  Off again!  Now waiting for the water people to come back again.  Argh!

 

Sorry, No coffee, no story for today.  I’m fresh out.

Good morning everyone,:coffee:

 

I'm still in catch up mode on the forums.

My wife is being very distant and sharp with her attitude when we do have conversation. Oh well, I have a very busy Summer schedule teaching around the country on the calendar so our conversations will be limited to a tin minute call in the evenings. Who knew that the year I start announcing plans to fully retire, that I get busier than ever? Traveling for work ends November 11, 2022. I turn 66 on November 8, 2022. My last travel training will be during my birthday week, and it's in Hot Springs, AR teaching for AR Department of Emergency Management. (ADEM)

 

Hugs for everyone, stay motivated, and positive,

Yay @HollyNG!

 

I had a nice few minutes today at the mall in a store where it was just the two sales women and me (got there for opening based on the schedule of my day). I guess I'm lucky that most of the store is not to my taste or I'd have spent a lot of money!

hi

 

well we sort of have water.  The pressure is grossly inadequate.  What I’m having to do is fill our onboard tank and utilize our pressure pump in order to be able to shower or wash. My wife gets the first shower tomorrow while I fill the tank so that I can take a shower.  She is getting a massage I’m not.  So I can shower after I refill the tank and refill it again.

 

We have about 80 gallons of tankage.  
 

maybe with some luck, we will get more water flow and pressure by morning when everyone has caught up.

 

good night

I'm sorry you're going through this. Being on water rationing stinks, no matter what the cause. Your plight brings back memories of Desert Storm--we got a 5 minute shower every three days whether we needed it or not. Mostly we did...

Evening everyone,

 

Your resident debbie downer here. Well it is all but official that the other asst manager got the commercial counter position I was wanting. Still haven't had my yearly eval yet. not even a mention of it. I am almost sick about it. Is the manager afraid of me. Maybe he just doesn't want to deal with the trans girl. I just get the funny feeling that the later is true. Of course I can't prove jack.

 

Well some good news I have gotten a pre-approval on a home loan. Yet, barely anything in that price range around here. The one we are looking at, is almost 7500 more than the approval is for. The story of my life. like the old AC/DC classic "Shot down in flames." or the grateful Dead, " to hell in a bucket", but a least I'm enjoying the ride!

 

Take care ladies, Hugs to all.

Congrats on the approval! That's a big step. Has your realtor tried negotiating about the $7500 difference? That often works, Also, if the home inspector turns up anything major, you can use that as a bargaining chip to bring the price down.

Good morning everyone,:coffee:

 

I'm on my third cup of the wonderfully dark roast coffee. Monday and Tuesday were hot physical days in the workshop. Today is a slower pace office documents day.

 

Take care of yourselves, stay motivated and positive.

Good Morning

 

Peet, Major Dickinson and I are having a meeting this morning.  I told them I was glad they were back.  My wife took a shower this morning. Now to top up the tank and take mine.

 

Turned in my request for a preliminary hearing.  They will send me notification of the date.  
 

I had to charge the battery for my Explorer.  I don’t run it often enough and the various things that draw power in a modern car run the battery down.   I’ll put it back in and start it up today. Once it’s run a bit I’ll go get gas.  I know it’s low. 
 

@KymmieL I once thought I was up for a job promotion.  The boss promised to consider me.  He did finally get to sit down with him.  I could tell that I wasn’t going to get the job, he was just going through the motions.  I quickly changed my posture to insure I wasn’t going to loose the position I had.  I was right, he had hired some one two weeks before our interview.  Guess he didn’t realize that as the controller I would have to see his offer and acceptance to put him on payroll.

 

My point is don’t get too down on yourself, it happens all the time.  Someone’s long time buddy gets the job before you even get the promised opportunity. 
 

Good luck with the house hunting. 
 

Hugs

Getting ready to drive to the mountains.  The plan is for the VA support group to meet in person for a change.  It's a long drive, but should be worth it.

Good morning,

 

Found out my wife who HATES the usage of 'they' to refer to a singular human, has occasionally mixed in calling me "they" behind my back instead of just sticking with the outdated "he". 

 

yay

Holly, enjoy the mental and physical changes that are about to begin -- sometimes slow, sometimes rapid. Your journey is definitely shifting into a different gear!  Congratulations!

Good morning everyone.

 

Today I have my consult for top surgery. Honestly, I'm a bit nervous. I am mostly concerned about whether or not my insurance will cover me. My HRT meds were prescribed under the guise of an Endocrine disorder. It's just how the place that's handling my HRT does it but I still have not been able to get a straight answer from my insurance on trans health coverage.

 

I have also been working on an outfit for Milwaukee Pride next month. I decided to pass on wearing black, it'll be chainmail instead. Since it's already made, I'm repurposing one of my 3d printed chainmail shirts into a bikini top and matching miniskirt of some sort. It'll be super light weight but I am concerned about the weather and freezing to death in a skimpy outfit.

 

In other news, I'm still slowly going going through my things and getting rid of what I don't need to make moving easier in a couple/few months. It's hard with all the memories tied to everything but I don't have choice ad I have to do it.

 

Have a great day everyone.

Um pictures? I want to see what you came up with. That sounds glorious!

 

My thoughts with the mementoes though? Take what you need. Re-home the others to friends and family. That way you can visit them when you need to.

 

Hugs!

      I went to WM today with the objective of buying sandals: they would be women's, but look like men's; they would be brown or black, not white.  I realized the cheapest way to go  was to go for flip-flops, which I observed were prevalent in the store. So I checked out the women's.  Flowers. White shiny straps. Nothing that could possibly be men's. The best deal was one flip flop for $3.98.  At first I thought that was a pair, then, nope.  And because I comparison shop (is there the same thing in men's?) I found the cheapest over there was $6.98 for a pair of flip flops in green that also match my women's cargo shorts that I love.  Doing the math, finding the pink tax.  Rip off.  I have found a blue tax this way, but usually they charge women more for something than they do men. I guess women tend to lose one flip flop at a time or something. Weird.  The pairs were a lot higher.   So, following my rule, but unhappy with it, I bought the green men's flip flops.  They were the cheapest.  Later wife of mine complimented how masculine I look in my matching shorts and flip-flops.  Inward groan. We have not discussed the Subject in a long time because I think she forgets it is there as soon as the conversation ends.  Or she is trying to talk me out of this.  Not sure.  We only discuss it when necessary, and how often do most couples discuss whether one spouse is one sex or the other? Outside of here, I mean.  So we very seldom talk about it and she is happier if she does not know about it. Super stealth.  I do the laundry and I shower in the shower in the wing away  from the master bed room so I have my own shower.

      I'm very glad that everything worked out even better than you thought. It's a tough spot to be in and I know the exact feelings. I'm still waiting to apply for divorce under abandonment so I officially can meet someone who one day I can call someone my prince or my queen. Although the desire for someone is fading because of everything. it's even more amazing that she was your high school sweetheart! Looking forward to the next entry.

      Awww thanks for listening everyone. I have another 5-6 songs in this style that I started recording at the same time, so hopefully I’ll finish the next release soon.   Yes, exactly. Everything was easier about this project, mainly because it felt authentic. The energy was very different, because it was such a pleasure to express myself without a filter. I laughed a lot.

      Thanks for listening @Mmindy.   You’re welcome @April Marie. I think Sally Can’t Dance is an underrated album.

      Well I had an interview with the local Ford Dealership for an opening in the parts dept. It sounded positive. I was told I would here by tomorrow morning.    Other than that just sticking around the house. I haven't done much, the weather is cold and yucky. Doesn't look like good weather till Sunday. Maybe tomorrow I'll fire up the heater in the garage and see about getting the other brake hose put on the Explorer.   Have a good rest of your day/evening.   Hugs, Kymmie
    • MaeBe
      Maybe they called me he/him at the dealership because I completely forgot my mascara! Eyeliner without mascara…a bold new trend among the helplessly lost! :)   Fixed that!

      Ah. Email from Gibson. [it was actually less legible than this, as he didn't use punctuation, it was all caps, and he ran all his words together. Taylor was used to it.   T - As everyone was under my super. this last year, don't worry about the evals. I will handle it. Send all email about new proposals to me, your unit handles work under way.  You will be involved but the first step is those go to me. Thanks   Here is an outline of what questions I want to see answered tomorrow.  Feel free to just jot down your thoughts.  If you don't know, say so and maybe point to how we can find that out............   Your new position will seem very challenging for a while but I am sure you can handle it.  Everyone has the utmost confidence in you.   PS your performance evaluation will be stellar, as reflected in your new position and compensation.  You get 100. One less thing to worry about.   Taylor sent him 45 emails right after that, gave some thought to the questions, and then had to turn to one of the proposals under way and review it.  That done, she read through the personnel files on her people so she would better understand them and what they could do. There was a very thin folder with her name on it.  It had one piece of paper on it. On it was written "the best!".  The others were thicker but didn't take long either, and she returned to answering the questions.
