Morning all. Hope everyone is happy and healthy. Back to the grind today. going to reschedule my root canal today. we have some snow. don't want to get stuck in Cheyenne if the roads close. tooth is doing alright for now.

 

Close today and tomorrow. then my normal 2 days off.

 

Looked at my lab results disappointed to say the least. T level is +500 and my E is 20. I will say it again I hate my body. Haven't heard from my GYN about the labs so want to see what she says.

 

Have a good day everyone.

 

Hugs,

I’ve been pretty hit-or-miss lately and don’t have as much free time as I used to. 
 

willow, I love the new hair. You remind me of someone, just can’t put my finger on it though. 
 

Kymmie, I’m happy for you. It sounds like you’re making progress. 
 

And for what it’s worth I did have a pair of yoga pants with me yesterday. I didn’t bring them with when I left the office for the service call.  Not that I had any intention wearing them. I wasn’t going to be doing anything on a ladder so I wasn’t worried. Its  funny I have spare clothes in my work car (currently in a Kia Optima) but don’t know what still fits. the jeans, definitely not. 
 

I keep and Easter basket full of chocolate on my desk and was going around handing some out this morning. Someone made a comment about a moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips. I’d rock a big butt so the statement is more like an empty promise.

This isn't me feeling like I could cry for reasons I haven't figured out yet. Nor is it me clinging to my Jane pillow like a lifeline.

 

...except it is and I am.

Good morning all ?

 

Been in a good place actually over the last couple of days, not sure what changed, but I like it. I feel like myself, or at least where I should be more consistently. Saw my PCP yesterday just to do a check in, which went better than it did last time, so it looks like she survives another year. I have been able to chat more with some local folks, and I think we are starting to build a bond. The next step in my insidious plan is to eventually schedule an event that others might be interested in once a majority of us are vaccinated, then I can maybe cement a link with them.

 

*sips coffee*

 

All joking aside, I think that is what I am missing now, a concrete way in which we can find common interests. Whether it is playing games together at a game café, walking the LGBTQ+ District and finding a place to eat, or something else like that (I even think going to a downtown park and doing scene photography be fun). First though I think we need vaccinated to really cement it safely.

 

*sips coffee*

 

I have also been thinking about coming out at work a lot again, and I might speed up my decision to start the process by calling HR mid-April. There is something big coming at work, and I would rather not have to reintroduce myself to off-shore consultants as a lead as Amber. I would rather make the change prior to them coming on board and being introduced to me. I do want to make sure though I am in a good place mentally before I do it, because there will be some that may have an issue, but it is possible though that they may not because of the years of experience they have with me.

 

*sips coffee*

 

Well I hope everybody has a wonderful day.

Hi,

 

it was a two mug day.  Both were good, black and hot.  
 

it was also our monthly Directors meeting.  Still used Zoom, but we have agreed to meet next month in our owners club house.  The meetings are scheduled to go 3 hours but often exceed that.  Today we were right on time.  
 

After lunch my wife and I shared our devotions, then I went to the hardware store.  I needed a trash can and some pvc pipe.  
 

I brought the trash can home, loaded up with boat related items and spent the rest of the afternoon working on our boat.  
 

I made a brisket yesterday.  Slow cooked and served for dinner tonight.   It was tender and good!  
 

hugs

I wanted to respond individually to all the replies to my last message here (and yes, I've read them all), but I haven't quite found the time, and unfortunately probably won't. So in lieu of that, I want to send out a huge thank you to everyone's support, whether voiced or not! ??? Thank you all, it really does mean a lot!

Good morning 

 

coffee is good, black and strong!  What a beautiful sunrise!  Pink, purple and orange. 
 

I decided to give our dog a bath last night.  I got “HER” towels and she followed me into the bathroom.  Mind you I haven’t said anything about a bath.  She walked past me and climbed into the tube and waited.  I turned on the water and regulated the water, got her wet and washed her.  She waited until I got a towel over her before jumping out but at this point she really wants to shake it off.  I’m sure lots of other dogs like their bath as much as ours does but it always amazes me when usually all I have to do is turn on the water.  This was the first time she was in the tub waiting on me.

 

not sure what I’m going to do today but it will probably have something to do with ceramic tile

Good morning, Willow!

   I have a toy Australian Shepard.   She is 20lbs and her name is Lucy.   She loves water---mud.   She runs the ditches around my farm like a race track.   I wash her in the sink.   She just lays there and smiles at me.   I dry her there, she doesn't want to leave.   What is your dog's name?  I get along with most dogs and select humans.

Good morning all. Cute dog @Willow Farmer

thank you,

   She is very smart.   I talk to her and treat her as a human.   She is calm, cuddly, and not wound tight as a 3 dollar watch.  She is on the clock on my farm 24/7.   She sleeps in bed with me with one ear up.    I love her with all my heart.

Good morning from my new laptop. Finally got it even a day earlier then they said. Happy Saturday to all also. I haven't poured my cupajoe yet. I know how dare I do a thing like that.

 

I am still on the fence about leaving. Last night the wife was in a mood. She was going through everything on the table. then vacuumed the whole downstairs. Barely said a word to me. When she did it was to b!tch at me about something. I no longer get a how was your day. It is disheartening. I guess I will find out her idea for how we will stay together this afternoon at counseling.  That was our homework.

 

Will post up later on today.

 

Hugs

@KymmieL good luck - I know my session with my wife is yet to come - I hope it goes well and you can share you session - hopefully it will help me when my time comes - my wife isn'y happy about my transition but I've been on HRT for 9 months and she does seem to be a "little" better with it AND she hasn't had any meltdowns lately AND she is still with me.

Hey all,

 

    I just wanted to pop on and say hello to you all. I haven't been on much lately but, when I get back, I always read a lot of what I've missed. It sounds like many of you have made some real progress for yourselves and with loved ones. I am overjoyed for you. I certainly wish I had something to share on how things have been going for me but, I really don't. I am no farther now than a year ago. It's whatever. Take care.

@Willow Farmer our dogs name is Sweetie!  And she is pretty sweet and very smart.  She is ½ Labrador and ½ Australian Shepard!  How about that?  My daughter in law’s brother had a litter.  My wife and I drove from Winchester Va to St Louis Mo.  He brought them there from Wichita.  Oh I forgot to mention I picked up the last two pups.  One for us and one for our daughter’s family.  Hers is named Lily.  Anyway ours looks like a lab.  Our daughters looks like an Australian Shepard.  They love to get together and play but that only happens a few times a year since we now live in SC and she still lives in Va..   Hers doesn't really like baths.  Certainly not like ours.  We actually have to warn overnight guests to close the bathroom door before turning on the water or Sweetie might end up in the tub.

News from the Jackieverse: This week I filled my Girl Bingo card!

  • I've had to deal with a bunch of ridiculous clothing restrictions. Seriously, the straps on a tank need to be four fingers wide? (As an example, there's a LOT of dumb in my dress code.)
  • I got "mansplained" about how to finance a car.
  • I've cried inconsolably over the loss of an object with sentimental value. Seriously. It was more than two hours. My wife was baffled.
  • I've had a man bend over backwards to bend the rules so he wouldn't have to bear witness to my imminent breakdown.
  • I got groped!

BINGO! What do I win?

 

In all seriousness though, I'm not THAT upset. I'm generally over it. I just thought it was funny that I got dumped on all at once.

 

Hugs!

Sweetie sounds like a really cool dog!   What an interesting mix.   Give her extra love for me.

      I firmly believe I drank entirely to much for about 25 years. Got drunk every day. This was my coping mechanism to keep hiding deep inside that I was a woman. I miss a lot of signs over the years. Now I drink mabye 1 or 2 beers a day don't even get a buzz anymore. totally accept myself and on regret is that I hide that part of my self which  truly makes me happy being violet 💜. I wasted a lot of time before  being self destructive and had no clue I was just hiding th real me

      Well it not morning and I haven’t been on her for a while but it’s nice to be back.  Did some catching up on everyone.  I do have a question, how is Toronto Canada for a get away? Is it a safe and friendly area for us to go.  The wife and I are looking for some where to go to allow me to be my true self.     thanks in advance

      Hey, everyone. my life is going down the tubes. at least I think. So, today. A customer called about his car, I told him that the oil change was done. The parts to fix the check engine light are ordered. He can come and get it. For the weekend if he wants. Customer says I didn't want an oil change. it was check the engine light and check for an oil leak. Checking the work order says oil change. The boss wrote the vehicle up. checking with the customer on services wanted.   Being that I wrote down the appointment in the book. and clearly states oil leak. She is complaining because she can't read my small ish writing. It seems she read oil and assumed it as an oil change. It seems like she is blaming me.  She wound up going home because she was too upset. She is stressing about an eye problem she has, she has to get eye surgery it seems she has a tear in her eye.    I feel that I am short for this job. because of the BS they are blaming me on. Plus I am still upset about the trust issue. If either one of the bosses start their Shite tomorrow. I am walking out.

      "I love you so much,"  Lois said.  They met in the driveway. "I could not live without you." "Neither could I." "What are we going to do?" "Find another counselor?" "No. I think we need to solve this ourselves." "Do you think we can?" "I don't know.  But what I know is that I don't want to go through that again.  I think we have to hope we can find a solution." "Otherwise, despair." "Yeah.   Truce?" "Okay,  truce." And they hugged.   "When we know what we want we can figure out how to get there."   That began six years of angry battles, with Odie insisted he could dress as he pleased and Lois insisting it did not please her at all.  He told her she was not going to control him and she replied that she still had rights as a wife to a husband. Neither was willing to give in, neither was willing to quit, and their heated arguments ended in hugs and more.   They went to a Crossdressers' Club, where they hoped to meet other couples with the same problems, the same conflicts, and the same answers, if anyone had any.  It took them four tries before they settled on a group that they were both willing to participate in.  This was four couples their own age, each with a cross dressing husband and a wife who was dealing with it.  They met monthly.  It was led by a 'mediator' who wanted people to express how they felt about the situation.  Odie and Lois, as newcomers, got the floor, and the meeting was finally dismissed at 1:30 in the morning - it was supposed to be over at 10 - and everyone knew how they felt about the situation.   There was silence in the car on the way home.   "We aren't the only ones dealing with this." Odie finally said.   "Who would have thought that?  You are right."   "Somebody out there has a solution." "I hope you are right."   "I hope in hope, not in despair."   "That's my Odie."

      The counseling session was heated, if you could call it a counseling session.  Sometimes Lois felt he was on Odie's side, and sometimes on hers.  When he was on her side, Odie got defensive. She found herself being defensive when it seemed they were ganging up on each other.   "This is not working," Lois said angrily, and walked out.  "Never again. I want my husband back. Dr. Smith you are complicit in this."   "What?" said Odie.   The counselor looked at him.  "You will have to learn some listening skills."   "That is it? Listening skills?  You just destroyed my marriage, and you told me I need to learn listening skills?"   Dr. Smith said calmly,"I think you both need to cool off."   Odie looked at him and walked out, saying "And you call yourself a counselor."   "Wait a minute."   "No."

      I have read some of it, mostly in areas specifically targeted at the LGBTQ+ peoples.   You also have to take into account what and who is behind the words, not just the words themselves. Together that creates context, right? Let's take some examples, under the Department of Health & Human Services section:   "Radical actors inside and outside government are promoting harmful identity politics that replaces biological sex with subjective notions of “gender identity” and bases a person’s worth on his or her race, sex, or other identities. This destructive dogma, under the guise of “equity,” threatens American’s fundamental liberties as well as the health and well-being of children and adults alike."   or   "Families comprised of a married mother, father, and their children are the foundation of a well-ordered nation and healthy society. Unfortunately, family policies and programs under President Biden’s HHS are fraught with agenda items focusing on “LGBTQ+ equity,” subsidizing single-motherhood, disincentivizing work, and penalizing marriage. These policies should be repealed and replaced by policies that support the formation of stable, married, nuclear families."   From a wording perspective, who doesn't want to protect the health and well-being of Americans or think that families aren't good for America? But let's take a look at the author, Roger Severino. He's well-quoted to be against LGBTQ+ anything, has standard christian nationalist views, supports conversion therapy, etc.   So when he uses words like "threatens the health and well-being of children and adults alike" it's not about actual health, it's about enforcing cis-gendered ideology because he (and the rest of the Heritage Foundation) believe LGBTQ+ people and communities are harmful. Or when he invokes the family through the lens of, let's just say dog whistles including the "penalization of marriage" (how and where?!), he idealizes families involving marriage of a "biological male to a biological female" and associates LGBTQ+ family equity as something unhealthy.   Who are the radical actors? Who is telling people to be trans, gay, or queer in general? No one. The idea that there can be any sort of equity between LGBTQ+ people and "normal" cis people is abhorrent to the author, so the loaded language of radical/destructive/guise/threaten are used. Families that he believes are "good" are stable/well-ordered/healthy, specifically married/nuclear ones.   Start looking into intersectionality of oppression of non-privileged groups and how that affects the concept of the family and you will understand that these platitudes are thinly veiled wrappers for christian nationalist ideology.   What's wrong with equity for queer families, to allow them full rights as parents, who are bringing up smart and able children? Or single mothers who are working three jobs to get food on plates?

      Well yesterday didn't work like I wanted to. I met a guy and started talking and he was wanting to be in a relationship. I asked my kids on how they thought of me dating a man and they said gross and said no. I guess it's time to look for women. I think that is going to be harder. Oh well I guess.
