Good morning All. Coffees on.

Good morning, everyone!! Into my second cup of coffee - went to be early last night and woke up at 1:30, 3, and then again at 4 so I gave up and got out of bed. Dogs have been walked and fed so I'm ready to catch up on the forum and then read the local paper.

 

My wife and I had a date day yesterday - we've been so busy that we got out of the habit and decided it was time to re-start that time for just us. We took a road trip to some gardens we've wanted to visit, did some shopping in the morning, had a wonderful lunch and then headed home in time to go to church. Then we enjoyed a light dinner and a few drinks....and both ended up falling asleep on the couch watching a program we'd recorded. A fun day with just the two of us.

 

Today I think I'll vacuum he pool and spend some time outside getting some sun to warm up these old bones.

 

Be safe and find the goodness in this beautiful day!!!

Kinda slept in.  Then got up and made some coffee and baked the bread that had been working off overnight.  Fed the ground birds and filled feeder.  Pretty quiet morning here so far.

Having a quiet morning.  Normally I go to Sunday service with my family, but GF isn't feeling well.  I stayed home so I could be next to her. I'm a firm believer that physical affection helps with illness.

My pumpkin spice came in today so of course had to open it up and had a cup of it. It's simply my favorite. I'm so glad that Keurig has companies that make it year-round so I don't have to wait on fall all the time. It was a lazy weekend. I put on a black and pink dress and watched Charmed. I couldn't tell you how many times I've watched it but still good. Today I decided not going to church today because there wasn't enough time to get ready. I'm looking forward to getting my amazon package in the mail today. The last touch I need to give off the feminime look.

It's a beautiful morning, not just because of the coffee. Planning on taking it is easy. Power-washed the patio yesterday and the back is sore as heck. I had to hunch over to get the spray where I needed it. I need to shrink 3 inches or finding a longer spray wand.

Had my pumpkin spice and today is my son's last day of first grade. I'm so glad I won't have to wake up as early.

Went with my wife for support to her doctor's appointment

Hugs for you and your wife as the two of you navigate this difficult decision. Facing it as a family will ease her mind and show her that you're there for her.

 

Best wishes, stay positive, and motivated.

Good morning everyone,:coffee::coffee::coffee:

 

Ashley, congratulations to you and your son for reaching Summer break. I hope you're able to sleep in. Here in my house, I'm a morning person, and my wife is a night owl. I wake up sometime between 06:30 and 07:00 take care of the morning routine, then open the doors and windows or the cats and I to listen to the morning songbirds. I'm not able to start work in the garage, because it shares a common wall with my wife's bedroom. I don't have a particular start time since I'm self employed and the commute is real short. This gives me time to do a small amount of clerical work for the business that I'm responsible for. Once we (the cats & I) hear her up and about, or I see her icon pop up on Facebook. I know I can go out and start the air compressor.

 

Hugs,

Good morning 

 

Well, I am behind a couple of days.  Rough day at work yesterday.  While I wasn’t exactly alone, I might as well have been.  I handled all but a handful of transactions and in between put up stock.

 

today won’t be quite as bad.  The stock is all but completely put out.  Just a few things not done.  The district manager did stop in yesterday.  After she left, the new store manager asked me about being interested in being promoted.   Said I had some questions about it but generally yes.  So we are supposed to have further conversations about that.

 

On Sunday we officially changed churches.  Being readily welcomed into our new church after the previous minister suggested we (I) might be better off in a different church.  Very annoying considering we’ve been members of the denomination since we were each old enough to become members.  The new church is the same denomination just a different location.

 

Then I had my monthly church meeting on line.  This is a church specifically for transgender people and their allies.  If you might be interested in joining us, PM me for details.  The meetings are via Google Meet.


@awkward-yet-sweet I also agree that it is very important and comforting to have affection when you aren’t feeling well.  
 

I suppose it’s time I start getting ready for work.  
 

Willow

Good morning everyone,:coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee:

 

I'm almost done browsing the social media platforms, and get to work on my next project. Last night our tomcat Sheldon seen another cat out on our back deck, and with little effort pulled the entire screen panel out of the back door. So my wife and I are surely on several ring door bell cameras herding a cat back into the house. Our cats are not outside cats, and usually respond to their names if called. We finally had to shake a treat box for him to settle down and let us near him. The screen panel was easily put back in the door, however today I will work on a decorative way to insure that doesn't happen again.

 

Hugs,

That is fantastic that your daughter wants Shawna in her life, as well.

Well good news! I started HRT this morning. They have me taking the patches Climara and taking Sipronolactone. I'm so happy! Now if time would fly and it starts kicking in lol. I was shocked on how small the patches are.

I like to quote what the endocrinologist said to me on this occasion, "Let's get this party started!"

That is great news, indeed. 

 

I've still got a few more moves on the gameboard to get there.

Hehe... sometimes I think cats are more mischievous than raccoons.  Fun to open the door and see a cat climbing up the screen starting at me 😆

Another beautiful morning here in the mid south, finished my coffee and starting my day.

 

@Ashley0616Congratulations! It is so nice to hear happy news.

@ShawnaBHappy that it all went so well

Feeling excited, I've got Robotics at the high school today

 

@ShawnaB Awesome! I'm glad your family and these people are so supportive!

Lots of great and exciting news for me to catch up on here. Congratulations to @Ashley0616 - I am so jealous!!! I can't wait to hear about your experiences over time.

 

And, once again, I am so happy for you @ShawnaB !! It is so awesome to have your family so supportive.

 

I've been pretty busy the past few days but the only real excitement is that I'm finally shedding my earring "training wheels" and got the OK to put in regular earrings. I snipped those trainer posts with a pair of wire cutters and am already wearing hoops. It's not as exciting as starting HRT or getting out in public...but it's a step forward for me so I'm excited.

 

Be safe and look for the goodness in this beautiful day!!!

Ugh. Sorry for the double post. I’ve had problems connecting to the forum the past few days. I assume it’s my ISP, as usual.

I've had problems connecting as well... it times me out and tells me there is a problem with the server hosting these forums... I, too, always assume it's something on my end...

      I'd love to have a dinner party with Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Voltaire, and Ayn Rand.  Would definitely be an interesting time.

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

      Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>

      How ironic.  I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,”    - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick.  Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can.  Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk.  They want us to change our gender but they deny we can.  Confusion.

      @FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience.   Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.

      I still have not read much of this.  Very little of this document pertains to trans folk.  Some of the statements are more than problematic concerning trans folk.   It certainly was not written just to get us.   " those with gender dysphoria should be expelled from military service."  and "Reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military. Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service,"  https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-04.pdf are two lines out of hundreds if not thousands regarding the Department of Defense, targeting trans folk in an almost off-hand manner.    So if a fighter pilot, say, or a ship's captain, highly experienced and trained at enormous expense, is determined to be transgender (method unknown) the US loses someone badly needed due to the personnel shortage who is ready, willing and able to perform their duties.  Many trans folk have served well and transitioned later.  I don't think this point is well thought out.    A number of policy recommendations I would disagree with.  I am not sure there is a method to discuss those with the authors; I am attempting to find out.  I have good conservative creds.    They are fully intending to implement this, regardless of who the president is, as long as that president is conservative. It is not Trump centered.  I don't think he had anything to do with it.

      I wear a Delimira Mastectomy sleep bra with Vollence sleep rated breast forms. The form fit inside pockets so they don't touch your skin. I bought the bras on Amazon and found the forms on eBay. They were much less expensive than buying through the other sources.

      I don't wear a bra to bed.  The girls aren't big enough to need it, but still enough to appreciate.  Just a flannel nightgown suits me fine.
