Well last night kinda sucked, some of the looting in Milwaukee happened less than a mile away from my house. Did manage a little sleep, currently drinking my lifebl.... er coffee. Watching the CSPAN coverage of the Crew Dragon docking at the ISS. 
 

Kind of debating, my bio-mother is coming for a few days to visit. I kinda want to do my makeup today, but on the other hand still have a lot of cleaning to do.

@JustineM, I’m glad you’re safe! That CrewDragon is a pretty cool machine huh?

 Thanks, worn out but safe here. And yeah, that is a sleek looking machine. Been trying to follow the testing and development of the program as closely as I can.

Went for a ride today. Over the Snowy range, stopped in a no stop light town. Had lunch then up to I-80 back to Laramie. Still quite a bit of snow up there. Turns out I only have a 4 day weekend. Have to open tomorrow. But off at 1pm Thursday and off Friday.

 

Hugs

@KymmieL,

 

That bike is GORGEOUS!!! I love taking my bike out in the good weather but family needs have kinda prevented my first ride of the season. I’ve been riding Buells for a few years now and love my S2 Thunderbolt. HD power in a tube chassis! 
 

Stay safe out there. Lots of cagers distracted by their phones. Remember, keep her rubber side down.

Morning comes, but not a wink of sleep to be had.?

But had me cup of joe. Sadly, I might need to buy a new bialetti coffee pot. Sounds like it's dieing. Such a high pitch screeching noise when it's barely started percolating. ?Cleaned as best I could, even cleaned the valve, still screeches like a beast. The metal filter for holding the grounds in, is such a pain to clean, feel it must be somewhat to blame.

Good morning everyone it’s Monday haha! Yesterday was a good day went for a little bike ride in the morning, did some housework, and did a little shopping even though we didn’t buy anything. Then my wife’s parents came over for dinner. They asked us if we wanted to go to Florida with them we said we would go, but I told my wife later I would go but I want to be out to them before we go. So coming out to them along with everyone else is gonna have to happen soon. Here I thought I could hide longer boy was I wrong lol.

Good morning,

 

I fully understand the not ready to come out to the world.  I too am there.  I have no advice to offer.

 

But, I have finally reached the critical point when you can’t stay private anymore.  No, it’s not because of anything in my physical appearance although my body hair has changed and I’ve seen a little breast growth.  It’s a mental thing.  You eventually get to the place that you don’t want to hide, but you are still scared.  I passed that point this weekend.  I told a friend who I knew wouldn’t judge, then I told my brother in law and his wife.  That was a hurdle I was concerned about because they are ultra conservative.  It actually was no problem.  They accepted it hugged me afterwards, and thanked me for confiding in them.  
 

I guess you never know but I broke through the barrier.  Yes it is also a weight off your mind.  Do it on your own timeline don’t force it, but you will feel relief when the time is right and you start telling people.

Good morning @Emily michelle!

 

My advice is to just do it. I know it's scary as all get out, but if you keep making excuses you'll never actually manage to come out on your own terms. Your first attempts will be bumbly and awkward. Don't panic. Like any skill, it needs to be practiced before you reach proficiency. Delaying only results in, for example, some random guy in the locker room commenting on how brave you are for changing in there despite your obvious female breasts.

 

The people that honestly care about you will still accept you. The ones that were on the fence could go either way. In any case, this is one of those situations where you really find out who your friends are and which family members you want to keep close.

 

I've got a pretty boring day planned. I've had waffles and gone through my morning maintenance routine. I expect to spend the rest of the day writing, going to doctor's appointments and figuring out what I'm going to do about dinner. I'm thinking Chinese barbecue chicken.

 

Hugs!

Fingers crossed, babe. But if you don't get this one, there are always others out there.

 

And with that resume, if they don't hire you, they're fools. And no one wants to work for a fool. So either way you come out ahead. 

 

Good luck, Babe! xoxo

  Sun is shining and The smell of coffee is in the air. A few quick errands, kiosk coffee with DD1, a small chore for the ex and then home. This afternoon will involve making the last three panels for my painting series.

  Some others here have been chatting about loss of male privilege and how the change from male to female effects things not previously considered. Example, I have been going to the same lumber yard for over a year to get the materials to make the panels I paint on. I have been charged three different prices. The owner who I have known since before I transitioned charged me $45, a male clerk I did not know charged me $53 ( his excuse was a milling fee for each cut of the plywood, four cuts @ $1.00 per cut) and the woman clerk who charged me $35. All for the same material, same previous dimensions and number of cuts. I wonder if something low cut would help or maybe just butch it up and see if there is a difference. As my ex said “You wanted to transition now you pay the price...welcome to being a woman”.

She looks great! Can’t wait to see a pic of ShawnaLeigh and Patti Anne together. What a cute couple!

 

Having my morning cup of java...vanilla Americana today. Not bad but it’s a flavor that I’d grow tired of very quickly. Will be doing gardening all day today.

Tomorrow, if plans work out, I’ll be spending the day at the park having a picnic with my 13 year old grandson and my wife. This will be very interesting because he has only been allowed to meet us once in a very controlled setting for an hour of so when I first ‘came out’ to them last April. My new son-in-law (his new step-dad) is NOT keen on anything trans and has kept both grandsons away from my wife and I. My grandson seems indifferent and shy about my changes but sometimes this attitude and hate for a group can be passed down. I hope this isn’t the case. I’ll find out tomorrow.

LOL, am I married to your ex? My wife uses that all the time too. All I can do is give her a playful evil eye.

Dunno, I always get, "Well, YOU wanted this." Then we both laugh.

Ok. Good morning/afternoon all! I just had the absolute most amazing experience EVER!!!!

 

As I was walking back into work from lunch, I saw one of the front office people and called them by the name I knew them by. Ashley. They proceeded to let me know it was just Ash from now on and they are getting legal name change an all. To which brought on my conversation about me being trans the other way around. And it felt AMAZING to know I work with such an amazing variety of people!

 

Our HR manager is gay, one of my very good friends is lesbian, and now us trans on either side of the coin... All under the same roof!!! I love it!!!

 

Hugs ❤️

Hi everyone 

 

Love the new pic Patti.  Good luck with the Job interview Shawna.

 

I had a great day today.  My wife and I went shopping.  Michael’s for some sewing items them our mall to window shop.  No one appeared to see anything but two women shopping together.  Never got misgendered.  Even got a complement on the dress I was wearing.  This just topped off a great weekend.

      Good afternoon,    I have a young friend who is vegetarian and married to a full on meat eater. They have two areas of their grill clearly designated for their different cooking requirements. When she’s cooking she uses tongs or chopsticks to handle any meats. When he’s cooking he respects her request not to cook her meals on the side where meat has been. They get along fine and respect each other.    When she attends our house, she usually brings her own food, but knows I will clean my grill to meet her requirements. We love and respect her commitment to be vegetarian. I love that she trusts me to make her comfortable when visiting us. There are ways to make it work.    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I was going to call it Numbness, then I realised well.. it isn't. basically, yeah, it isn't.   this only happens to me sometimes. I'll be lying down and my legs will.. well, I guess lock?   If I straighten them out, they will unlock- when I roll over again, they will lock again. this lasts for around 10/ 15 minutes I guess   it's not pins and needles either

    • atlantis63
      so, a close friend wants to cook for me   the issue is, she is a vegitarian and won't handle meat- I, on the other hand, won't handle vegetables- hate the things   every time she goes out to the shop, she comes back with something.. a cake, a fruit smoothie, a coffee, I won't eat any of it. please help me think of something that she could make for me that I'll actually eat   disclaimer: you are talking to the most pickiest eater in the world. good luck

      I think there is some truth in this.  They intend to implement Project 2025, whether or not he spends his energies persecuting the Democrats who have been persecuting him (in his view, a debatable point) and does nothing else.   I have seen numerous accusations that the document is about "Trumpism", whatever that is, and is merely a vehicle for him to become dictator.  From what I have read so far, that is the same sort of truth as the Steele Dossier, denying the validity of a certain laptop, Schiff's non-existence evidence of collaboration and a host of other things, many directly from Biden, that are simply not true.   I will continue reading it.

      Wife of mine pointed out that not getting a haircut for a month looks hideous - weird bald patches.  So back to super- short buzz cut.  This morning I braced, looking in the mirror.  I look like a woman trying to pass as a a guy, maybe  a small-breasted woman with enough T treatment to grow a mustache.    I would not believe me if I read what I write about me.  This is nuts.   White t-shirt: that they sell in the back of WM so you can tie-dye them or otherwise decorate them. They are thick and long lasting and slightly fitted, so that they could be a man's.  I like them.   Jeans, flip flops.   I will no longer point out these are women's.  What else would I wear?

      Quite right mate! I have been letting my hair grow out again (I cut it all off when I was 18).    I'll never look this good:    But I'll aspire to look my best! ☺️
