today, I will be baking bread and maybe some cinnamon rolls.  Good day for that.

Oooh, I am so jealous. Our oven died at Thanksgiving. It is a combo wall oven, warming drawer, microwave unit in a custom cabinet. Of course, no one makes one like it anymore so we finally were able to order an oven/microwave combo and a warming drawer from a different manufacturer. Ordered the oven in December...just told it has been pushed back to an April 5 delivery timeframe. We have the warming drawer here.

 

Last night, the microwave component died - started sparking/arcing so I shut the power off to the whole unit at the breaker box. 

 

Lynn loves to bake and cook so it's been a struggle - lots of salads and things we can make in a crock pot or pressure cooker or on the stove.  In a pinch, she takes everything to her mother's and uses her oven.

 

Enjoy the day!!

@April Marie I don’t bake bread in it but we have a Cousinart combo Unit bake, broil, toast and air fry.  Bread is hard enough to get right without using a little oven but we use that for nearly everything else.  I suppose I could use it one loaf at a time but today, I’m making two.  And I have a working oven.  Sorry, it’s taking you so long to get.  When we bought our condo there was no refrigerator and we needed a new washer and dryer.  We had to change brands and or models to get one when we needed it.

 

Good luck

Well my wife has been a PITA. Me and my son have gotten a clean out service that will be coming in tomorrow to help clear out the house. At first she refused wouldn't even listen to reason. Then after talking to my mom she relented. But she went back to do some more, Then again it will be cheaper if we already have stuff in bags.

 

I am wondering if my brother in law was either transgender or a CD. In one of the bedrooms. There is bras and panties, womans clothing. In the bathroom there is makeup and makeup remover wipes. There was a few pairs of heels in different parts of the house. My mother in law passed in 2004.

 

I guess we will never know.

Oh, my. We all have secrets in our lives. Sorry that you're going through this - it certainly is filled with stress and emotion.

Good morning everyone!!! I can't believe I slept until almost 4 this morning - a rarity for me anymore. No sign of the black bear this morning when I walked the dogs...but the deer clean out one of our bird feeders nightly. On the good side, I can sit here looking out my den window and it's like watching The Nature Channel. every day.

 

Enjoy the day, be safe and give yourself a hug. You deserve it.

Good morning! Was out and about yesterday with a walking group (so mostly strangers to me) and was suprised to hear 'she/her' being used about me an hour or two into the walk on a very light makeup day. Then a 'ma'am' at the food truck too, so apparently people who don't know me already are slotting me into the correct category. What's new to me is that this is happening without a mask being on and at least yesterday I didn't get the disheartening 'corrections' that have often followed such moments in the past.

Good morning, having my first cup of coffee... desperately needed. I'm so glad to put this past week behind me in the rear view mirror. It was just one of those weeks for me that seemed like they'd never end...and I'm glad it's over. I hope this week will be a better one. Gonna try to work on cleaning my apartment a little bit today to try to start my week off on a better foot.

Good morning 

 

I've made my first cup, bold and black.

 

I am a little disappointed with my bread.  It really looked right when I put it in the oven. Nicely risen, rounded top.  But when I took it out the top had flattened.  Tastes fine just doesn’t look like I’d expected.  The raisin bread came out pretty Good!  We already ate ½ a loaf.  
 

We’ve been catching up on Netflix.  Broadcast tv has been disappointing.  Seems like the have very few new episodes, everything is a repeat and March Madness hasn’t even begun.  We had started Stranger Things quite a while ago but stopped.  And we started Outlander, but have caught up until the last three seasons come out.  Apparently, another pay cable channel has the exclusive rights for the next three years.  I suppose we’ll have to find another one to enjoy.  We could do an Amazon Prime, anybody got a recommendation?  
 

hugs

The bread sounds delicious! Since the microwave of our combo oven/microwave/warming drawer has now joined the oven in the land of dead appliances...and the new oven/microwave isn't due in until April, we ordered a microwave/convection oven/air fryer combo thru Amazon. So, we'll at least be able to do some light baking soon.

 

Amazon Prime suggestions? The Marvelous Mrs. Maizel. The Expanse (if you like science fiction). Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.

The ABC murders maybe if you like mysteries.

 

A lot of things on there end up being paid for.  Which is ok I guess if you are really interested.

Good morning, all!! Another early start for me but we ended up going to bed around 9PM last night and I fell asleep almost immediately so getting 5+ hours seems to be my norm.

 

Sending out good thoughts for @KymmieL today that all goes smoothly.

Yesterday wasn't too bad. We found the keys and title for my brothers cars. The friend across the street bought them. The clean out crew was fantastic. 2 20' trailer loads. Today the deep cleaning crew comes and they are dropping off the trailer to load.

 

Wife is doing OK. Did brunch with her aunt and Uncle. which was nice.

 

Have a good presidents day.

Went to church alone yesterday, my wife wasn’t feeling well.  Was treated with kindness and love.

 

Then last night I went to an online church with almost all new friends.  That one meets just once a month.  I wound up being one of the last to leave.  Also, I agreed to lead the June services.  Now I just need to decide on a topic for my sermon.  I have many to pick from.

 

guess I should be getting ready for my day.  Two doctor appointments today.  One for my wife and one for my.

 

Have a blessed day 

 

Willow

🚲 Yay! After 5 months off because of my back and leg weakness, I finally rode my bike again. That's the longest I haven't ridden in 72 years. Feeling both older and younger right now. Tired but thrilled to flying on wheels again. Just rode around the park a few times—going to work on it gradually, but I'm back and happy. Don't sign me up for the Tour de France just yet. 

Cheers in circles,

Davie

The hotel in Nashville, TN had this Butterfly display made of old 45 records. I looked so cool and you know I have to post Butterflies.

      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

      Hi, I’m back   @MaeBe @Ashley0616 @April Marie and @Mmindy and everyone else, my wife says thank you for the birthday wishes.    It was a busy day at work today.  Once things settled down a little, I went outside and washed the windows.  My Manager was very happy with how much better they looked.  And no ladders were involved. Just my personal window washing gear.  Now that they are clean (for only the second time in a year and both by me) I would like to wash them with some Rainex instead of just window cleaner.  We sell gallon jugs of Rainex windshield washer fluid and I think using that next time might help keep rain spots off the windows.     we are going out to J Peter’s for dinner tonight. We both like it so it’s a winner.  It’s a local restaurant with several locations.    time to feed and walk the dog.   Tomorrow is a 4am day.  I like the work of the 4am shift I just wish it was later.  The again it’s nice to get home by 12 noon
