Hi everyone 

 

We've had several “it’s going to rain” notices.  But no actual rain.  I stayed home to be here to sign for a package only to get notified that the shipper never received the package from the sender.  So I wasted some time.  On that.  My intention had been to go to my boat to work on making it ready to take pictures to post to sell it.  Tomorrow I have to be here because the builder is supposed to be here to fix the things they destroyed it clean up the water leak. Still no word on the granite.  Wednesday and Thursday we have to be in Charleston.  We both have appointments but unfortunately they are on successive days.  I also have an appointment at the Genius Bar at Apple. Our iPhone 13s can’t seem to connect to cellular data.even when side by side with my Samsung and it’s getting cellular data.  All three are on the same carrier so it isn’t a carrier thing.  
 

I’ve been to the carrier and they couldn’t solve it.

 

guess I’ll call it a night.

@WillowA113 I don’t know how I missed you cry for help earlier.  There are a lot of sources of help available to you.  Besides all of us here who are always willing to help, there are any number of organizations out there.  
 

as for texting, I get that, things are private and not to be shared.  But we have a private messaging system right here  click on the envelope at the top and pick someone you want to pm with on transgender pulse they will get notified that you sent them a message.  Kymmie and I occasionally pm, and we have a third person that we have also talked to in a separate three party conversation.  That would also be the place if you really want to share private info like a phone number or email address, but you don’t have to do that.  Just keep it private right here.

PS look at “The Trevor Project”

So that birthday party I went to..... When I got there, thankfully, a couple of my other friends were already there, I really hate going to parties and not know anyone. I went to say hi to the birthday guy and since it was his birthday he wanted a kiss. Eh..whatever. His husband did too. ~It was at this point I realized I don't like cis guys and I will avoid them at all costs.~

I don't know how I forgot, there was another transwoman there. She's really nice and we have a lot in common so the conversation was never dull. As soon as her schedule slows down we're planning to meet up again.

 

I've been meeting so many people lately that I'm starting to feel overwhelmed. ~Maybe it's the blue hair. Maybe it attracts queer people.~ I never, ever, thought that would happen. Granted, most everyone has a crazy schedule and I don't know if/when I'll see anyone but my schedule is fixed so I'm able to make plans around their's.

 

And here I am again not able to say everything I want to.

dial 988 please.

You are loved, you may not see it but it's true

 

I heard some civil liberty stuff about this hotline that it is monitored by law enforcement and they can commit you involuntarily

I feel like if someone is suicidal here in the States, you can be treated more like a criminal instead of a psych patient who needs medical attention. Just IMO but also referencing the prison system itself, and how difficult it is to find urgent psych care besides either waiting an ER for 6 hours or getting arrested. I was fortunate when I was suicidal, depressed there was a crisis center you could stay at for 3 days until you got a case worker and all that started. It's something to take seriously.

Good morning lousy night.

 

neither my wife nor I slept well last night.

 

@stveee  I have no idea if 988 is monitored by anyone or not .  But the purpose is to help people not to get them committed.  If they were monitoring any suicide hotline and word got out, that would be the end of it.  
 

@WillowA113. I said it before and I’ll say it again, The Trevor Project would be the best place to contact.  Please don’t even think those other thoughts let alone openly talk about them.

I don't believe it is monitored by law enforcement but yes, most crisis lines are monitored or recorded in order for the counselors to learn.  Even if they were, if you are calling a crisis line you NEED help asap. We should never discourage someone from calling, the consequences are too great not to.

A little levity this morning. The shortcut bar on my laptop shows the local weather and provides a headline. Today the headline read, "Very hot outside." No kidding. It's August in Arizona. What were they expecting, snow or sleet?

 

Had to share this. it was quite the face palm moment...

Reminds me of my previous car, a 2006 Cobalt. (Keep in mind here, I'm from Cleveland.) It had this...umm, "safety" feature...where anytime I'd be bundled up in a winter coat, freezing my rear off, slip-sliding my way to the car so I could dig it out of the snow, then finally get inside, turn it on, and before I can even start defrosting my hands on the heater vents...the display on the dash makes sure to warn me: "ICE POSSIBLE"

 

/facepalm "Whaaat??? Ice? In this weather? No way!"

 

At the very least, it always made me very glad cars no longer have voices.

Oh, I forgot about that one! Mine had something like that too. I would get SO sarcastic with that car half the time 🤣

 

It did also have an outdoor temperature display and a sunroof, though. Now THOSE features I do miss on my current car. But this one has a lot less rust on the under-parts, sooo....I guess I can't complain too much!

Hey, the Germans clearly can’t convert centigrade to Fahrenheit.  Two different VWs I had both said it was icy at 39° F

 

We are back from todays trip to Charleston.  We got to our Genius Bar appointment at Apple.  Our genius lived up to his title of genius.  After checking both phones he determined it was a carrier problem.  Called the carrier, told them what to check.  Sure enough, it was a carrier issue.  They forgot to turn on cellular data on both of our phones.  We had a quick lunch and got to my wife’s medical appointment right on time.  Tomorrow it will be just me going back to Charleston for my endocrinologist appointment.  I hope to stop at my boat on the way home.

Ugh....I can't stand cars that think or talk.  My GF has a Challenger that she customized.  It has a completely different computer system in it, something she built.  Connects to the internet, communicates with other vehicles in her fleet, and literally has radar.  Looks sweet, but it talks.  And the way she programmed it, it has a sour and sassy attitude.  🤮  Give me a normal old dumb car from the 80's.  I still drive the clunker I got in high school...

Good morning everybody and some fresh coffee!

 

Been away for couple of months living in denial again 😖.

 

I thought I got rid of dysphoria but the other day I was watching a german detective series tracking missing persons. There was this priest who turned out to be a trans woman and it just hit me in the face. I got rid of my body hair and wore my wig, breast forms, tops, skirts and realized how much I've missed it.

 

Had an appointment scheduled to a trans care unit last spring which I cancelled and now - if i so decide - must jump thru the hoops all over again.

 

I know what i should do, only I'm afraid to do it. Hope you all are doing better.

Good evening everyone. Things have started to slow down a smidge for me. Finally got out of our apartment today. Now for the maze of boxes in our new house. Which is not a problem as it is OUR house. The garage is still packed. We just need to start getting stuff put away and sorted or pitched.

 

Went about 5 days without my patch. Got them on yesterday.

 

Take care and have a good night everyone.

Hi

 

today was an interesting day.  I managed three different hospitals.  First I left home and went to MUSC West Ashley.  There I saw my endocrinologist.  Left there and went to MUSC Rutledge Ave to the pharmacy.  MUSC = Medical University of South Carolina.  This is The only hospital in SC trying to create a Transgender care team.  Endocrinologist, Therapist, speech therapy, urologist, and apparently cosmetic surgery/ face femeninization, top surgery and apparently even bottom surgery but I don’t think they will have that anytime soon,

 

on the way home, I stopped at our boat. Packed some more stuff into my car.  Went back for a second load.  Decided to run the engine a bit.  While doing that, a juvenile wasp came out of the helm and stung me.  Now unless you’ve been on here a long time, you wouldn’t know this, I AM HIGHLY ALLERGIC TO WASP VENOM!!!  I am supposed to immediately inject Epipen then call 911.  Well, I didn’t have an Epipen with me. The only ones I have are past date and they were at home.

 

So I got in my car to head to the ER as quickly as I could.  As I am driving I realize there is a fire station just ahead.  Stopped and ask if they could take me to the hospital.  Which they did.  Hence hospital number 3.  The EMS gave me a big dose of Benadryl directly into a vein. That started settling things down.  About 90 minutes after getting to the ER my wife and I were on the way back to the boat.  I knew I left the A/C on and wasn’t sure if I’d even shut the engine off.  That I had done.

 

lunch at 3 home by 5.  The meds are wearing off.

Too gosh darn early to say any more than “morning!”

 

I woke up 90 minutes ago.  I’ve been trying to get back to sleep but my hand is bothering me a lot and I have a headache, not yet a migraine.  So here I am.  Eating a bowl of my life long favorite cereal, shredded wheat.  I like it best with fruit and I used to add one teaspoon of sugar.  But since I discovered vanilla soy milk,no sugar added.  If you’ve never tried it, you should.  Much better shelf life, and I really like the taste.  But you have to get vanilla.  Mine comes in a bluish ½ gallon carton.

 

im going to contact my endocrinologist via mychart today to learn more about top surgery.  Just exploratory.

 

Other than that, not much happens before 5am.  Granite countertops are supposed to be replaced today we are slowly making some headway on the kitchen repairs. 🤞


 

I’ll let you know if it happens.

 

@KymmieL glad you are sleeping in your own home finally.  This garage you talk about, is that back at the apartment or separately rented from some one or what?  If you ever said I missed that but at the same time I didn’t understand why you were putting money into a garage if it was part of the apartment.

 

Hope y’all can get more sleep than I did.

Good morning everyone,

 

So one of our neighbors reported us for having a "messy yard". He claimed to have offered his help, which is a load of BS. He never once came over and interacted with us. He's a pastor, too...go figure the religious figure is also a liar.

 

And now my husband is dead-set on cleaning up the yard this afternoon. I'll be stuck at work until 4:00, so I don't know if he's going to start before then or afterwards. My housemates don't know who reported us and we're keeping it that way. They'd both start a fight with the neighbor and we'd (my husband and I) would prefer to keep this civil. Just clean up the yard and all will be good until the next time the neighbor decides to complain, I guess.

      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

      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.

      Post 5 “Coming out to My Significant Other”   My wife and I were high school sweethearts and after 40 plus years of marriage we are still soulmates.  Yes, I consider myself lucky, but we also worked hard to stay sweethearts, and my transgender nature was one of the things that required a lot of hard work to reconcile.    Back when I realized she was the girl I was going to marry, I was still struggling with gender identity, and up to that point I had kept this guarded secret from her.  I wondered how I was going to tell her, and I pondered the timing.  I had already decided she needed to know before I would feel comfortable asking her to marry me.  I was absolutely terrified that when she learned about my gender identity issues, it would scare her off.  Despite my deep concern, I just knew in my heart, I couldn’t keep the truth from her.   In my case, I never thought a relationship with a girl, or marriage to a girl would somehow cure my gender dysphoria.  In fact, the blossoming of our relationship didn’t mute or minimize my gender confusion one bit, so my desire to keep dressing like a girl remained strong.  I actually considered not telling her at all, but I already knew this wasn’t a passing phase, so kicking the proverbial can down the road didn’t make sense to me.    Since I was committed to revealing my secret, I pondered how to initiate the conversation?  Obviously, I would tell her that I enjoyed dressing and looking like a girl, so part of the conversation would be about crossdressing.  The fact that I cross-dressed was the easier part of the conversation and it would make clear to her what I was doing, but the harder part would be explaining why; because, at that time in my life, I had no idea why I was feeling like I was a girl.  Still, I felt a partial explanation was better than none at all and if she could accept the crossdressing part initially, maybe she and I could explore the deeper meaning, together.    Telling my fiancé I was a crossdresser seemed the simplest explanation at the time.  All that remained was the timing and this is when a situation arose that I hoped would be the perfect setup for my big reveal.  She and I were going to a friend’s party, and on the weekend it was to take place, my fiancé’s parents were out of town.  I casually mentioned that I thought it would be a “goof” to show up at the party dressed like a girl.  Much to my joy and surprise, she thought it was a super idea.  In fact, her enthusiasm for the idea was more than I could have hoped for.  With her parents out of town, we had her house to use for my transformation.    At the time, I had my own stash of girl’s clothing, but admitting to this would have revealed too much.  Besides, she had already started planning my wardrobe for me and I was certain her efforts would be much better than anything my feeble stash might result in.  I couldn’t have been more correct and after she dressed me and did my makeup, I looked more like a girl than I ever had before.  In fact, my new appearance was so striking, I could barely contain my joy.  Of course, this was supposed to be a “goof” so, I did my level best to hide the excitement I was feeling inside.  While I was elated being dressed and out in public, I was absolutely terrified at the same time.  Consequently, showing up at the party was a lot more difficult for me than I had imagined.  Ultimately, everyone got a big kick out of me, and that did help to relax me a little.  However, I had vowed to come clean to my fiancé at some point during the evening, so I remained uncomfortably anxious.   Later, and after a few drinks, I had mustered up the courage to reveal my secret to my future wife.  I pulled her aside and had her follow me to a quiet room upstairs.  Alone together, I began trying to explain my feelings, which as I recall revolved mostly around my desire to dress like a girl.  I did tell her my feelings were more complex, but I think she latched onto the fact that I was a guy who enjoyed looking like a girl on occasion.  I was extremely emotional as we talked, but she comforted me and told me it didn’t change her feelings for me.   I have to say having that conversation with my fiancé that night was the best decision I ever made.  It ensured we would face the future together without secrets or deceit. I know it strengthened our relationship. Of course, my wife really didn’t have any idea what she was signing up for when she agreed to support my transgender nature.  It would be like riding a roller coaster, lots of ups and quite a few downs, but the fact that she knew about me before we got married, made the ride a lot smoother than it could have been.   Hugs,   Sally
