Depending on what time of day and the weather. For relaxing is writing my stories. Then working on the car or one of my many models.

 

I did check equality Wyoming. They gave me a link to UW LGBTQ+++ they have a space and resources by does seem to have any support groups.

 

I did email the local pflag chapter seeing if I could get something back.

@heatherd wow,  that’s worth two WOW!  That’s really something!  You and your identical twin brother are helping another set of identical twins now girl boy too.

 

I’ve said it before but it’s worth repeating.  I believe anything we can do to help teens to understand, to know that there are others that know what they are going through and want to help, is our contribution.  Giving back in some way is what we all need to do.  A BIG Thank You to you and your brother for sure.

 

hugs

...and a great way to add pounds! 

I was asked how I could possibly lose 25 pounds in six months. "Well," I said. "It's easy. First you change your gender, then . . ."

Good afternoon everyone! Late to the table today - had to head out early to help a relative who ended up in the hospital last night. Home now and just relaxing for the rest of the evening. I hope everyone is having a wonderful day!

Good morning, everyone! The dogs have been fed and walked, and I've already had my first cup of coffee so I think I'm lucid enough to spend a few minutes here catching up. I hope everyone in the path of the storms is safe and sound!

Good morning TGP!

 

I'm having some ginger tea and getting ready for the workday.  20% of the company I work for got laid off a couple weeks ago, but I managed to hang on to my job.  We're all dealing with the changed environment at work.  I'm thankful I'm not in the unemployment line today.

 

Hugs,

Lydia

Rub it in why don't you. jeez. Well today is a relaxing day, it is my Sunday now. Actually got some of the things I wanted to get done , done yesterday. Was able to get the bracket for my new fuel pump welded and painted on the wagon. I was also able to get the license plate bracket and light mounted on the new explorer. now just need to wire the light and get some license plate bolts.

 

Don't blame me for this weather, I was in Michigan when it started and had to deal with it as well. LOL. Luckily I left before the ice storm hit. Dodged the bullet with that one.

 

Today more work on the wagon, more fuel system plumbing. But I am on the downward side so it should go easier. time will tell.

 

Stay safe and warm everyone.

 

Kymmie.

@KymmieL Hey, I worked hard to get to the point where I could have some leasure time.  Yours time is coming. if your wagon is anything like my boat was, it will take a lot more time to finish the last few things than you expect.  And of course something you think is finished won’t be.

 

Hey, make sure you use license plate screws that aren’t easily removed. Like torx head or even safety torx.  Some one blame you for bringing the storm to Wyoming?  Last I checked Michigan is east of Wyoming and the storms usually come out of the west or northwest.  
 

Exercise classes went well. Unfortunately, I am usually pretty beat after the aqua Fitness class so the strength and stretch suffers some.

Good morning, everyone!!! Waiting for the coffee to kick in - dogs have already gone back to sleep after their walk and breakfast. Maybe I should, too. 🙂 Enjoy your day!!!

Good morning everyone,

 

I've been on a family vacation for five days, and there were two newborn babies there. So you know where this baby whisperer's attention was. Yes I've still got the touch.

Good morning, Mindy! I was wondering how your time away with family went. Sounds like it was heavenly for you. 💕

I guess it’s morning although I don’t know that I want it to be.  
 

First I was awakened by a fire truck that sat nearby for about 40 minutes.  I suppose they were here to assist a paramedics crew.  They always send a truck and with an EMS. Around here.  Everywhere I suppose.

 

then I couldn’t get back to sleep.  I made brownies last night and I think they kicked in to help keep me awake.  We ate too many, but we hadn’t had made from scratch brownies in a long time.

 

our dog seems to have a bad case of fleas.  I’ve bathed her used the liquid flea treatment on her twice, gotten her a flea collar, and combed her with a firmanator comb.  I did that outside and combed out a lot of live fleas and eggs but I think that actually made her worse.  I feel bad but I’m running out of ways to help her.

Good morning Willow,

 

There are many reasons Fire and EMS send multiple units to a medical call. Sadly the most common reason is they're under staffed and need two units sent just so they have four responders there. Even in the case of a fully staffed agency, we like to see two units dispatched because if it requires CPR, the person doing compressions should only be in that position for no more than two minutes to remain effective. Another reason is for lifting and carrying a person of size.

 

Hugs,

@Mmindy Sounds like your vacation was nicer than mine. cleaning out a house of your dead brother in law to be sold isn't really fun.

 

@WillowBeing awaken by sirens isn't fun. when I was way younger I was afraid of sirens. Would hide in between the screen and main door. Until one time the screen door wouldn't open. I found out what was making the sounds. I still can see the scar.

 

Back to the grind today. At least I get to drive around.

 

Coffee is nice and hot. tastes so good.

 

Hugs, to all.

Years ago, when we were living in town, we were woke up by the fire trucks in front of the house.  The house across the street was on fire.

It seems some guys were in there huffing gasoline (of all things) and one of the idiots decided to light a cigarette.  Actually a true story.  Stupidity knows no bounds.

When I was on the fire department, they would get called out for anything potentially life-threatening.  The fire department could be here in 5 minutes; the ambulance would take 20.  They would also get called out for non-life-threatening calls if the ambulance would be delayed.  Mostly it was the medical first responders on the fire department that were called out, but for CPR, it was every available person.  If you do a full 2-minute shift of effective CPR, you need a 10 or 15 minute break to recover.

So true Kathy, we're lucky to have three of the LUCAS CPR Machines. One on each of our three city ambulances. They're expensive, but they free up personnel, and space around the victim.

Kymmie,

 

I've been following your posts on the trip to MI and cleaning out your brother-in-laws house. You're correct, it's not fun. However it can be rewarding, and humbling as you move through the process.

 

Hugs,

@Mmindy My youngest did expand his collection of video game consoles, with some old school ones. Plus my brother in law had a few things would be collectable. In addition to the house we also inherited property in upper lower Michigan. My wife actually found her mothers ashes, she had been told they were used for fertilizer. So she has all but her youngest brothers ashes.

Good morning, everyone! I’m two cups of coffee into the day, dogs are walked and fed and I’ve caught up on the news of the day.

 

I won’t jinx things now - will provide the details later - but this week has held some wonderful things for me already and today, hopefully, a major advance in my journey. I am excited, scared, hopeful and full of anticipation. 

 

Send good old vibes my way, that it all works out as I hope it does!

Good morning

 

Just wanted to say hi, then I have to get going. We have to be in Charleston.

 

Fire and EMS showed up again yesterday.  Two firefighters got out of a Squad truck. They were here quite a while before EMS arrived.  Obviously from a different area, they followed GPS whereas squad new the shortest route.  
 

finishing my coffee then I’ll get moving.

      I have shared my doses and levels a lot and no one has said anything. Yeah I put alarms on my phone to make sure I don't miss a dose. I tend to forget a lot of stuff on what needs to be done. I have been also using the calendar on my phone a lot. I missed an appointment because I didn't put it in my calendar.

      Feeling better than I did yesterday
    • MaeBe
      It's official. My doctor wants me retested after the last results (too high). The test, that she scheduled, was likely too close to the dose. She did tell me to keep the increased dose instead of reverting to my old one, probably because my "too high" wasn't that high. I don't know what the forum's stance is on results, knowing full well the rules against sharing dosage, so I'll keep those under wraps until I know if it's OK to share those. Less to say, it was over the range she feels comfortable with by about 50%, but taken a day earlier than the midpoint value she was expecting. Grains of salt everywhere!   Of course I messed everything up too, missing my dose for the first time, yesterday. I had to re-reschedule the lab I setup yesterday to Monday from Saturday after taking my shot this morning to avoid the same issue with the testing. I woke up and thought, "Thursday, what do I have to do for work today? OH -crap-, IT'S THURSDAY! I missed my shot yesterday!"   Anyhoo. Question for the ladies: does anyone else get a mild zen-like high after their shots/doses? My brain feels lighter and I'm happier and I feel a lot more girlie this morning. 💃

      I'm into my fourth month of HRT and just titrated up in dosage after my last checkup. This is my life. 🤭   I have yet to grow out of my B cup bras, but I have noticed more fullness, having started with gynecomastia. I am seeing less gapping in bras with my right breast, which has always been smaller than my left. My areolae are slightly pronounced/projected now, that are larger but not vastly greater in circumference, and I have noticed little to no nipple changes beyond their painful sensitivity.

      -It's not a sprint it's an endurance.  -It won't happen overnight. -Seek a gender therapist. -You might lose a lot of support but hang in there. If they truly loved and cared about you they would stay. -Retail therapy helps and plus it builds your wardrobe and shoes. -Makeup is an artwork. It takes lots of practice to do it right and watch YouTube videos on how to put it on or someone who is knowledgeable. -You are going to have roller coaster emotions so don't rush anything.

      You have grown more breast tissue than most some only get one size and that is it. I went from 42C to 42DD but I'm also taking supplements. It's risky to take the supplements but to me it's worth the risk.

      I'd echo some of the advice in Imma Asher's letter in the book To My Trans Sisters:   Take your time.  See yourself. Be proud.  Be strong. Indulge in the transformation.  Read more.  Put down the brow pencil.  Live.  And be happy.

      I hope that there is some kind of justice. It's very sad and it doesn't even mention the family and I could only imagine how they feel.
