I'm so glad I won't have to wake up as early. 

 

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.

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 have as well. Having problems accessing the site.

 

Well came out on Classmates. Since then I have had 6 people look at my profile. Most of them from the class or two behind mine. Nothing said though, yet. Speaking of classmates, I sent my RSVP for the reunion. Now I am making plans. Have made a hair appointment for about a week before. Want to get a gel mani-pedi. Toe nails will be blue/gold our school colors and the finger nails will be clear. but will do a possible blue/gold on them in normal polish. I am also shopping for a nice casual dress and sandals to possibly wear. Right now time will tell.

 

Well I have a free weekend as my wife and youngest are heading to Lincoln, NE to visit our oldest and family. Leave tomorrow, However I work Fri and Sat. but have a 3 day weekend. Of course, I cannot get over time so I am only working 32hrs. plus holiday pay is my 40.

 

Have a good evening everyone.

Ugh. I had hoped that it was just on my end. Seems we are "under attack" at all levels. Stand tall, all of us.

Good morning, everyone!! First cup of coffee is in my system and bringing me back to life. Looks to be another beautiful weather day here so we plan to work out in the yard completing the Spring refresh. The weekend weather looks warm enough that we'll be in the pool and getting some sun.

 

My wife and I decided to have our Happy Hour tonight in dresses instead of casual clothes - now I just have to figure out which to wear. Oh, and which earrings, too, now that I finally have that new dimension of fashion open to me.

 

Be safe, everyone. Enjoy this day - look for the goodness and find a reason to smile. You are all beautiful and loved.

Yeah, I've had problems as well.   I had recently up dated my OS and was suspecting that.

It's been working for me this morning.

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.

      Good evening @Ashley0616,   I just got offline with HP tech support trying to get my printer tool box icon locked to my tool bar. This is one of the most important features of my printer that I like because it keeps track of ink, paper, and scanned documents. I'm diffidently not a computer geek.   I'll catch up with the other bookmarks next week. We leave to go home for the Easter Holiday with our families. Saturday with her side, and Sunday with my side. What's odd about that is I'm out to more of her side and they're reluctantly supportive. My side on the other hand are less supportive, and my sister just under me in age will not acknowledge my being there. She will be constantly moving to keep from dealing with me. I'm dead to her.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I used to follow baseball and the team I would cheer for is Boston Red Sox. My favorite player was Papi. He was an awesome guy and even held a child during the National Anthem. I haven't watched baseball for a long time. It just died off to me. 
    • Ashley0616
      That stinks that nothing transferred, and no bookmarks were saved!

      I'm doing patches for now but I think soon I'll go to shots because it's hard to alternate when you are doing two xx patches at once. Unless she gives me Estradiol and progesterone

      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".

    • 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.
