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!

      If you could talk for 1 hour about any topic without preparation, what would it be? Mine would be music especially classic rock era.

      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.

      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
