Good morning everyone 

 

I really need the Major’s fine elixir this morning.  I can’t seem to wake up.  Interesting Mother’s Day.  I was dressed and outside before my wife.  I got wished happy Mother’s Day twice.  Every time I get a comment reserved for women it is so reassuring.

 

 

I'm with you on getting comments reserved for women. It is both reassuring and affirming.

Hugs

Not a good start to the week so far. Woke up this morning to a GERD flair up, So much fun, and had to call in. Now I’m sitting at Childrens ER with my oldest because of a rash that we can’t figure out.

We had a guy here to look at the furnace.  We were getting an oil smell every time it ran.  Nice guy, seemed competent, and he put a temporary fix on what he thinks is the problem.  But we need a minimum of $7000 worth of work to (a) do a proper fix and (b) bring it up to code.  And that still leaves us with a furnace nearing the end of its life.  It will cost about $12000 - $15000 to replace the whole works.

 

It sucks, but, considering that we want to sell the house next year (might have to postpone that a year, now), it's got to be done.  We won't get the money back in increased selling price, but we will be able to put "all new mechanical systems" on the listing.

 

When I called to book the appointment, I didn't get misgendered on the phone.  They didn't even ask me to spell my name, the face-saving technique of someone who was expecting a male name and thought she heard "Kathy".  She just asked if it was with a C or a K.  Nice!

I had my pre-employment physical this morning. Even though I had to put my legal name on the forms, I still got to check female. Took care of the routine incidentals, then to the exam room. After BP and O2 check, I was told to leave only my undies and socks on and put on the gown. Had trouble tying the top strings because of my ponytail, so just did what I could. Male doctor, seemed very disinterested. Eventually asked me to hop off the exam table, bend over, and try to touch my toes. No sweat. Bent over, gown came almost completely off. Who knows if he had noticed the female box checked, but whatever. I pulled it back on as I stood up. Then it was gotta check for hernia. I pulled up the front of the gown and he said, "Drop 'em." Check check, cough cough. All I could think of was if he appreciated the fact that my bikini panties were color coordinated with my outfit. Another first checked off my list.

Good evening

 

@JustineM GERD can bring on some serious consequences.  It is believed that my GERD was caused by medications that shouldn’t have been prescribed together.  The GERD caused my laryngeal cancer.  So, I know that’s not something that happens to everyone but just keep an eye on it.

 

@Marcie Jensen thanks.   Can’t think of anything that makes us feel better than getting noticed or recognized as a woman instead of a man dressed as a woman. When my wife and I go to a restaurant we get “ladies” and one check or two.  I love it.

Mother's day went well at my house.

I was surprised to get a text from my 29 yr old grandson saying "happy mother's day". My wife didn't get it, but my grandson obviously does. Father's day will be awkward. I can totally do without that holiday.

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.

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 afternoon, and, for me, it's G****ade. Just got back from my 3-mile walk. Felt like at least double, compared to Monday. 60 degrees then, 92 now. I'll be used to it by Sunday, when it will be 70.

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      The number is relative to method of deliver, the time of the dose, and when the blood is drawn. However, I do want to keep away from DVT and other potential issues. I assume I may be getting backed down from my current dose, but my doc told me to stick with the higher dose, so? I also wonder if this has anything to do the my breast growth and mental changes that have been happening over the past few years, like I have some estrogen sensitivity so a little goes a long way or something? I don't have enough data to postulate, but who knows!   With weekly, subcutaneous, shots you expect to see big swings of serum level estradiol from shot to peak to trough. My doctor is interested in mid-week testing (for E and T levels only), which would be post-peak blood serum levels but they will be higher than trough. Most, if not all, resources I've seen online is to measure at trough (which I might do just to do it next time) along with a SHBG, LH, and other metrics.   This is from transfemscience.org for Estradiol valerate in oil, which is very spiky compared to some other estradiol combinations. It's also for intramuscular, which will have a slower uptake and is usually dosed in higher volume due to the slower absorption rate from muscles. They don't have subcutaneous numbers, which I would expect to see similar spikes but higher levels at similar doses due to the relatively higher absorption rate direct from fat.   Are you doing pills, shots, or patches? And when you do get your levels checked are you getting that done when your levels are lowest or some other time?

      Both of my parents were from the “North Shore” of Boston.  My mother Lynn and my father Swampscot.  They had an early 1900s Scots-Irish New England diet.  My sister and I were born in the 40s in Ohio well away from New England seafood and in an area where food was more German and Polish.  My first experience with liver and onions was during basic training.  They ate salt cod but never forced us to eat it same with oysters.  My dad ate oysters but my mother wouldn’t.  Anyone who ever ate an oyster can figure that one out.  I grew up eating lamb.  My wife won’t touch it. I love brazed ox tail, again no way. And the list goes on.

      My mother was German, so yes, I think it was a cultural thing.  If I'd known you when we were cleaning out my mother's place, I could have sent you her "threat jar".

      Been taking it real easy.Another good neighbor of mine and his 15 year old son came over and cut down a couple dead trees on my property.Knew not to do it taking it easy.I had them put the wood near my fire pit in the back yard.Did it and happy where they put it.They knew I had stents put in and needed to take it easy
    • Ashley0616
      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one. 
    • Ivy
      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
    • Ashley0616
      I don't see why not. I have worn forms since I came out. 
    • MaeBe
      I have never worn breastforms, but I assume as long as they don't aggravate your nipples you could.

      Every week I've been excited to take my shot, so it's never been an issue. Yesterday, however, I woke up and started my usual "slow roll" and then suddenly realized I had breakfast plans that I had to rush out the door for. After, it was straight into work calls, and then I got the notification from the doctor about things being too high and all the while my mind had completely slipped that I needed take my shot.   Given that I am not asking for medical advice, but sharing my journey, I will note my results: Estradiol at 447 pg/mL and Testosterone was 23 ng/dL, up and down from 26 pg/mL and 526 ng/dL respectively before treatment. Almost flipped the bit! The doc would like my Estradiol closer to 300 pg/mL, so we'll see what Monday's tests state.   Oh, and I teased the dinner with old soccer teammates and never updated the thread! It went well. There were a couple funny moments. One guy, who I was worried about their response, greeted me with "Hey, you've lost some weight!" 😎 And a friend who lives near me picked me up on the way to dinner exclaimed, after we learned one of the invitees might show up with a date, "Wait! We could have brought women?!" To which I instantly responded, "You kind of did, bringing me!" Everyone got a good laugh out of that. 😁

      To me there isn't that much difference other the measurement, which side the zipper is on and men's pants have bigger pockets. 
    • missyjo
      I hope this is not stupid question..I have yet to start n not sure if doc will approve..but once you start growing buds n such, can you still wear forms to get to the size you were?   I'm a dad, so when I start blossoms they will be smaller for a long time n probably need surgical augmented..that's fine. I don't want to go ddd to aa to ddd..   any ideas?   thank you
