Good morning All. Coffees on.

Good morning to you all on this Wednesday.

 

@Heather Nicole I'm very sorry to hear aout your mother. Sending you, her and your family positive energy to help you through this time. It's hard to avoid worrying though, even if we tell ourselves not to - it's a natural feeling when someone so close to us battling cancer.

 

@Willow Sorry to hear about the restless night and bad dreams. May today and tonight be more peaceful for you.

 

Going to be a busy day here, I need to laser-focus on a grant proposal due in a few days and the construction noise outside isn't helping my cause at the moment. Hoping to raise some needed funds to support programs in the non-profit I work at. The pandemic has been very harsh on our budgets so everything helps. I know what I'm going to write, just need to dedicate the time to get it out in a hopefully coherent way. This girl is going to need lots of coffee today...

 

Happy birthday @ElizabethStar. I hope you have a fabulous day!

 

Love,

~Audrey.

Well morning everyone. Coffee is strong and hot. And goddess does it have its work cut out today.  Ended up having to run back home because I forgot my wallet and duty weapon this morning. But I guess it can only get better from here so, have a great one!

Dear @Maddee I love the symbolism of this simple line.  It says so much.  I hope your day is going well.

Ugh!

 

I got the call from my surgeon’s office.  I have to be at the hospital at 6:45 AM!  Guess I won’t be catching extra zzzs tonight.  The good news is if I’m first in line, I’ll be home earlier.

 

on a better note, I got a follow-up call about Covid vaccine.  And immediately registered.  Now it’s a waiting game until they call me with a time and date.

 

@ElizabethStar Happy Birthday Lady.  ??

Well it’s evening so time to switch from coffee to wine lol. Cheers everyone! I’m finishing my coming out letter to my Mom this evening. I’ll keep everyone updated on how that goes in the Coming Out forum.

Thanks everyone for the birthday well wishes. Most of the stuff happened at work. I arrived to boxes of donuts that were bought in my honor, a hand made card. it was all so very sweet. At lunch I got free Starbucks. Later on I had to goto our other building to pick up my customary gift card. Lot hugs and we miss yous. The assistant accountant was really shocked when she saw my nails change color right before her eyes, she was so cute. They gave me birthday cupcakes and wanted to sing. too soon for that, for me.I feel bad but ...honestly I would have cried, I'm not ready to cry in front of co-workers just yet. I went back to my own building and things pretty much went back too normal. My wife got me typical small gift things and a visa gift card.. She said I can Buy anything I want, Even woman's clothing,. She did add a disclaimer, of course she did. She doesn't want to see me in a dress. Nothing was mentioned about skirts. She made us a pizza while I installed our new alarm system.  I and just spent at this point so Thank you everyone and good night.

@ElizabethStar sounds like you had a good birthday.

 

well not time to leave for the hospital yet but I’m ready to go. Just waiting on my better half.  She has to do all the work for a few weeks. I won’t be able to walk or drive. Made the coffee but for her, I can’t have any.

 

let you know when I’m awake, truly awake later.

Good morning everyone!

 

@Petra Jane What a lovely winter scene. Sometimes I miss living in a snowier climate. It's inspiring me to venture upstate or to VT or NH to ski before the winter's over but I feel conditions haven't been great this season. It's been unseasonably dry here in NYC this January.

 

@JustineM I wish you well in coming out to your mother, and I look forward to reading about it when you do!

 

@ElizabethStar It's wonderful to read about the positivity at your workplace - everyone really seems to accept you! Homemade pizza sounds yummy. I do wish your wife wouldn't force you to walk on such a narrow path. Do you want to buy and wear a dress? I also hope she's held up her side of your recent agreement to let you introduce yourself.

 

@Willow Hoping all is going well for you early this morning! Keep us posted.

 

@KymmieL Hoping you've been able to work everything out so you can start HRT! Sending positive energy your way.

 

Back to work on the grant today. I'm going to need quite a bit of coffee this morning, I can feel it already.

 

Love,

~Audrey.

That is a lovely garden Petra Jane.  I've learned to wrap our boxwoods with bird netting to keep heavy snows from doing damage.  So far we have only had one good snow this year.  It is always son pretty even though there is more work for an old gal.

 

Hugs,

So far this season we have only had a little snow. What we need is a week of just snow fall nothing to big. Still waiting to hear. I haven't done any checks this morning yet as this is usually the first place I come to when I get online.  Gotta keep up with all the gossip, its what us girls do. LOL 

 

Finally a day off. My body is not liking being on my feet for hours. my lower back after just a day is killing me. then feels better in the morning then repeat. I need to get a nice desk job.

I like to see it myself having grown up with it.   But I'm glad to not have to deal with it often.  Here we only get some very occasionally.

I love a nice gentle snow.  The kind with the big fluffy  flakes.  Which we rarely get here. Most of the time it snows  sideways.

Almost ready to do the happy girl  dance. Got a call from the pharmacist who is part of the anticoagulation  clinic. It sounds like they a proved the request for me to go on E.

He is looking at with a large  dose of blood thinners that  he recommends do a full dose of E.  He wants to contact my Endocrinologist to talk with him about it.  Hope to hear something later today. Getting my dancing shoes ready.

Good afternoon everyone,

 

Coffee was HOT, black, and strong. The mood in the house is quiet. Not Good when she clams up...

 

@Petra Jane I love the snow too, just as @KymmieLsays big fluffy flakes, and I'm okay with it getting deep.

 

Hugs,

I'm really excited for you Kymmie! This has been a long time coming so I'm hoping for the best, and I'll be ready to join you in your happy dance.

 

@Willow I'm so relieved to hear that your surgery went smoothly and I wish you a speedy recovery.

 

Back to work...

 

Love,

Hi,  home, I’ve have coffee yum! Lunch, Ramen and a Kings Hawaiian roll with butter.  I used to be a barfer.  Couldn’t eat anything for hours after anistesia.  What ever they use now I’m good to go.  
 

@KymmieL this sounds good for you. Praying that you get good news.  I won’t jinx you not happy dance until you say it’s ok.

 

@Petra Jane that’s a beautiful garden and the light snow adds too it’s beauty.  However, it doesn’t make me want to move north again.  I’ll keep my beach and palm trees thank you.  Our season are chilly, spring, hot as !!!! And fall.  Chilly doesn’t last very long! Hot lasts too long.  
 

well, time to annoy my wife (ok not really) and ask for my scooter.  It’s just out of reach.

 

hugs

Aha! We were talking about this over Thanksgiving. Empirical evidence that other people don't only bring these out on special occasions. My nephew's thesis has been defeated.

 

More seriously, I'm glad your surgery went well. Going under the knife is always scary.

 

Hugs!

Great news Kymmie, heal well Willow.

@Petra Jane that is so lovely, do you have any wildlife that visits. I have to admit I've been watching Mr and Mrs Lumpy ☺️

On i side note I've never touched snow or seen it other than in photos or on TV. Living in one of the warmer Australian states does that. Went to New Zealand a couple of times and I felt the mountain was laughing at me or had something else in mind. Perhaps it wanted to be me before I got to see its snowy glory ?

 

Jackie I hope your nephew gets a second chance.

 

Hugs

Robin

      Except for this thung thwister: Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter, in sifting a sieve full of unsifted thistles, thrust three-thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb. Now if, Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter, in sifting a sieve full of of unsifted thistles, thrust three-thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb, how many thistles can'st thou thrust through the thick of thy thumb . . . in sifting a sieve-full of unsifted thistles? Success to the successful thistle sifter!

      You have given you and us a big clue right there.  I hope you have shared this observation with your Endocrinologist and are willing to take their advice about changing that behavior.    Non prescribed herbal or animal supplements can have a negative effect on your body's use of your available hormones.  Also, your genetics are going to be controlling what your body is going to do with your hormones, and again, that is for you to consult with your Endocrinologists.  On this site none of us are licensed medical personnel and we cannot give you advice on your health more than what your doctor can.  We have rules that we enforce against our members advising about "Folk Remedies" because we have had members who have gone that route and badly damaged their health and quality of life.  Only thing I can go anywhere on, is that maybe if you change your expectations of what should happen, you will at least not be in danger of harming yourself from anxiety.

      Hi lovely people,   I'm a 25 yo MtF woman, and I've been suffering from low estrogen issues since October 2023. I completely lost my feminine libido, my breast completely stopped growing, my estrogen levels dropped by a lot (despite NOT decreasing my E dosage) and thus my dysphoria drastically increased. I think it is worth mentioning that, for my health issues, I had been taking ----- Lamotrigine for months & had been on ketogenic diet, and these things seem to be a culprit of my current issue. I weaned off Lamotrigine some time ago and gave up on keto diet, but it still doesn't seem to help. My estrogen is still low (44 ng/ml) and my libido hasn't come back yet. In general, I struggle with my dysphoria so much because of that and, to be honest, I don't know what to do. I've tried so many dietary supplements, yet I didn't get any effects from them. My endocrinologist didn't know how to help me. She only suggested to increase my daily estrogen dose (to 3x per day ------sublingual estrogen tablets and 3x per day ------ estrogen gel applied to armpits or thighs), which I did, without any effect.   Please, help me. Prior to keto diet & Lamotrigine treatment, I'd never had experience like that. I'm basically helpless and have no clue what to do. Having to deal with low estrogen is a horrible experience to me and it affects my life severely.   BTW, my T levels are always within female range.   Do you have any clue what exactly I should do?

      One of our cats is polydactyl.  He has 7 toes on each front paw and 5 on each back paw, for 24 toes total.   Another one, an ex-feral who, at the time, was free to roam, climbed 50 feet up a tree without having any thought about how he was going to get down.  His pal climed down backwards, but he couldn't.  He ended up coming down by leaping from branch to branch.  Which nearly gave us heart attacks, because he only has one eye and therefore has no depth perception.   The other ex-feral (both are now indoor cats) obviously does not have those soft pads on his feet.  At night, when we are in bed, we can hear him stomping around the house.

      The two o'clock Onshoring meeting was going well.  Taylor was leading, inviting other people up to speak on their specialties. Aerial photogrammetry and surveying, including the exact boundary, were out for contract signature  Gibson had handled that - Manufacturing was supposed to, but somehow hadn't happened.  Legal issues from Legal. Accounting reported on current costs, including all upkeep, guard salaries, etc.  Manufacturing was supposed to give those numbers, but they hadn't.   The downside was the VP of Manufacturing.  He had arrived at the meeting red-faced, his tie askew, clutching a bottle. It smelled strongly of vodka. He had never done anything in his twenty years of being VP of Manufacturing, and he did not like being asked now.   "Mr. ----, do you have the inventory we asked for?" Taylor asked politely.  VP Gibson had asked him to have his people go through the plant and not only inventory but assess the operational status of every piece of equipment.  They needed to know what they had. "I'm not going to take any f---- orders from a g-d- tra---," he snarled. "God knows what kind of perverts it has dragged into our fair city and bangs every night." "That is completely out of line." That was Gibson.  Taylor controlled herself.  That was a shot at Bob, not just at Taylor.  She was glad Bob was not there to do something stupid.  Had Mrs. McCarthy been talking? What had she said?  Was she given to embellishment?  Taylor took a deep breath. "I'm not sorry.  You f--- can take this stupid onshoring --- and shove it up your -" "That is quite enough."  This was the head of HR. "You can take your sissy ways and sashay -" "You are fired." "You can't fire me." "Oh, yes I can," said the office manager.  The VP took another swig from his bottle. "Try it."  He looked uncertain. "I will have you removed.  Are you going to leave on your own?  I am calling the police to help you leave." And he dialed the number. He stomped out cursing. They heard him noisily go down the hall.  This was the front conference room.  He actually went through security and out the door, throwing his badge on the ground on his way.  The guard picked it up. They could see this through the glass wall. "Can you fire a VP?" "The Board told me that if anyone gives me problems they should be shown the door. Even a VP.  I can fire everyone here. I won't, of course. Those were problems." "Are you alright, Taylor?" She nodded.  "I've heard worse.  Shall we continue?" And they did.   The last item was that certain business people in China had been arrested, and the corporation that had been supporting them all these years had been dissolved.  They were on their own, and the Board was dead serious on straightening things out.  After this meeting, Taylor believed it.  She did not attend the meeting to discuss how to distribute the few duties the VP of Manufacturing had done.  That was ultimately up to the Board.

      Lunch was at Cabaret, still free.  The place was quiet: it was the sort of place you took a business client to impress them, and the few other people were in business suits.  Most of the legal profession was there.   She told him of the morning's frustrations, breaking her own rule about confidentiality.  She asked Karen how the branding was going, and Karen had snapped back that she had not started on it yet - they had all these proposals.  Taylor had explained that it was important, for the two o'clock meeting, and Karen told her to do it herself.  Karen pointed out that Taylor could not touch her - her uncle was on the Board and her brother was VP of Manufacturing.  Nor would the two computer guys go out to the plant - they were playing some kind of MMORPG and simply not available. If she wanted the pictures, she should go.  Mary prayed an Ave Maria, but both she and Brenda were racing to get the proposal out. The client wanted it Friday for review.   She didn't bring up what Mrs. McCarthy had told her.  She wasn't sure how to approach it.  She thought of telling her of a 'something more comfortable' she had bought in case he ever DID show up at her door. It was in the bottom drawer of her dresser, ready to go.  Instead she talked about moving to a place with a garage.  Several of the abandoned houses had one, and they had been maintained well with China cash.   Bob had finally realized that when he was introduced as Bob, Taylor's boyfriend, that was just how things were done here. Other people had introduced each other in terms of family relationships, which were strong.  Long before you found out anything else about someone, you knew how they were related.  Family kept people from leaving Millville.    "What is the real name of this town, anyway?"   She laughed.  "I am trying to find that out.  It's 'Welcome to Millvale' when you come into town from the north, and 'Welcome to Millville' on the south.  I have counted two other variants."   "What a town. Roosevelt is like that, with the families, but there is only one spelling."
