Am on a hiking weekend with daughter. After first day of much hiking in hot and humid conditions I came down with "hikers rash", which I've never had before. Google says mainly affects women over 50, suppose that's me now.  
 

So second day we just ate and outlet shopped and did some sightseeing since one shouldn't continue the activities that brought the rash on. 
 

Shopping was fun, only did one transaction but it was good- I had ordered a rain jacket for hiking for this trip (old male version was worn out) and didn’t think to check if it had side pockets. It didn’t. 
 

So exchanged it for one that did-the sales woman did say something about the section I was shopping from in but then I suppose realized that, yes, I was shopping in the women’s section intentionally. 
 

Ended up with the same jacket daughter has (bigger size). And some shorts, we were trying things on in adjacent fitting rooms. 
 

Elsewhere was mostly looking for a pocketbook, but no luck. I’m a lot pickier now than I used to be.

I painted a rock for the group to display on the table.

Your rock painting is getting better. I couldn't even begin to paint like that. I'm a good house painter, but have no imagination.

Today was a good day. My wife might just be starting to accept me more. This morning we were cuddling in bed. She flat out asked me. "Tell me the truth are you taking hormones?"  I say"yes, I am" She doesn't blow up or even get mad. "Maybe that is the reason for your swollen legs."

 

Then as we were getting out boots on for a ride to breakfast this morning. She puts on some lip gloss (I think) Then she hands it to me saying, "I guess I can share this with you."

 

Just after starting our ride. I feel some tugging on my hair. She puts the part not covered by my 3/4 helmet into a pony tail.

 

I would say that the day was a win for me.

 

Hugs,
Kymmie

Sounds like a BIG win for you. Wives notice everything. They don't always say anything, but they see it.

@AgnesBardsie That painted rock is beautiful! Congrats!

 

@KymmieL Thanks a lot for sharing. Reading about those moments with your wife made my eyes teary. That was a good day, indeed!

 

@Erica Gabriel I'm glad the Faire experience went so well. I love the picture that you posted a few days ago. You look great in it and it's like a visual snapshot of the great experience.

These days I'm finding things never go as planned. Last week I took my wife in for some testing to see if she can have a procedure that would greatly improve her quality of life. Aside from finding out that no, she not healthy enough the doctor informs us that she now needs a lung transplant. Of course they won't say how bad things really are other than you need to get on the list now. Maybe I'm being selfish. I feel fate, yet again, has found a way to test my resilience as I'm once again I'm being pushed to the background. Things in my life really did look like they were getting better but now I don't know what to think.

@KymmieL it seems as if things are turning around.  It sounded like a good day to me too.

I think all you can do is try and focus on one crisis at a time. That being said, I’m sorry that so much is hitting the fan at the same time.

Hoo boy. A lung transplant? If the doctor's worried... that's not good. I'm deeply sorry you've got to go through this @Elizabeth Star

 

Hugs!

Don't give up ! I've seen what apperars as miracles with health issues. My son was put into an induced coma for 11 days, and he came back around from it. My great granddaughter needed Heart and lungs transplants, Was on a breathing machine for weeks. Crashed several times, had multiple strokes. They even had a segment on the news about her. She came back around, not needing transplants now and leading an almost normal life. So don't lose hope.

I have as well.  They wanted to put someone I know on dialysis, but he is doing okay now.

@Elizabeth Star Finding that your wife needs a transplant and is on the list is a positive thing. My producer friend always told me knowledge is power and he is fighting brain cancer and knows what he needs to do and I bless him for it.

 

I just posted in the Thought of the Day and I think I'll post it here as well because it feels like I know why it showed up today....

 

Hugs - you and her will make it ....

Hi, today didn’t go as expected.  We made a last run for the day to our storage Friday.  We got there just past 9.  Turns out they close access at nine.  Noe we have to take everything back home.  We sleep on the floor (on just a mattress) in our dining room.  That made me fair game to the dog.  Would leave me alone.  Today first thing we take the things to storage. Go home and lad up again and go back.  We are trying to beat bad weather.  We managed.  
 

now we are packing and cleaning.  With plans to take a full load to the convenience center.  I stop at 2 and start loading.  By now some bad storms have passed but it’s raining.  Get to the place atb3:10.  You guessed it they closed at 3.  It used to be 4.back home to clean.

 

tonight we are in a motel 10 miles from our house.  Tomorrow go home get the trailer go to the dump.  Load it again go to storage.  Change clothes, go to our side of documents signing.  Go back to our house and load up for our trip, beginning with my drs appointment Tuesday.  That’s when we can finally relax.

 

@KymmieL wow That is a Hugh giant step forward.  
 

@Lexa83 this has been a big step forward for you too.  You don’t have to try to catch up to Kymmie but the occasional comments and sharing will help you move forward.

 

good news got, I’m tired.

Another day at Faire in the books. Me and my cis wife helped another trans woman and her cis wife choose the costume of their dreams. We had many more come in throughout the day. It’s like a Renaissance Pride Fest.

@Erica Gabriel Guess I gotta get into Faires again!

I used to enjoy going, myself.    Perhaps this year.  Ours is in the fall.

@KymmieLthat is amazing. I can attest to wives just knowing. Although I took mine a little by surprise, she keeps telling me I'm not really acting any different, just less ashamed of how I move. But oh I got that 'flair' it seems to me by  knowing I can be the me that's inside. My wife almost immediately went out and got me my own makeup.

 

I haven't ever been to a Faire but I would love to, and my wife is all about that. I would love to get into one of those dresses.

Went out to buy a couple new bras at lunch. I found out the hard way while standing at the self checkout, bras on the counter, that there were no barcodes on them to scan. While I waited for the attendant I realized I was more worried about people judging me on my bra choices than getting clocked. ?

      https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2024/04/russian-poetry-competition-bans-transgender-applicants/     Everyone in Russia knows that Putin hates LGBT people, so every segment of society gets on board with the Leader's viewpoint, or they risk his wrath.  Sounds a lot like Florida, doesn't it?   Carolyn Marie

      happy trans birthday! I can't speak personally on the subject, but I hope hormones bring you the changes you're looking for <3 
    • MaeBe
      That’s super healthy, to see that something that becomes common has less effect on you and that you are able to decipher these feelings.   Sadly, this trend tends to only deaden good feelings as we tend not to let bad feelings attenuate the same way.   I have noticed less euphoria, but still feel the dysphorias that I have. Sometimes the good sneaks in and reminds me, but often time it’s just me seeing myself in the mirror and being comfortable about what I see when embracing my realized self. I may not get the same buzz I once did, but I don’t feel incongruous when looking at a more “drab” reflection.    Wishing you strength, you are amazing!

      Congratulations! and Happy Trans Birthday @LittleSam! That is such a BIG milestone.  I can still remember walking out of my clinic with my first HRT presciption.  I was on Cloud-9.  Wishing you all the best in the start of your new Journey!

      maebe thank you I try to be. I thank God for blessings, try to share them, beg forgiveness for my shortcomings n vow to try to do better...2 priests have said no, God doesn't condemn you just for being trans...but apparently evangelicals do   I shall vtry dear thank you  
    • MaeBe
      Meet him at the being good to others part of Christianity. At the heart of it, there are excellent tenets of the faith. Those that condemn are judging, Jesus would have us be selfless; stone casting and all that. Are you a good person? Are you putting good into the world? If your gender is an issue for God, let God judge. In the mortal realm, let your actions be heard. 
    • missyjo
      and just fi sweeten it..I'm catholic n he hasn't been for years..he's evangelical..whatever that is

      Let’s stick to cite-able fact. Most of my posts have been directly in relation to LGBTQ+ rights as it pertains to P2025 and I have drawn direct links between people, their quotes, and their agenda. I have made reference to the cronyism that P2025 would entail as well, by gutting, not cutting, broad swathes of government and replacing it with “conservative warriors” (I can get you the direct quote, but rest assured it’s a quote). All this does is constantly force the cogs to be refitted, not their movement. To say that agencies have directly defied a President is a bit much, the EPA did what Trump told them to do at the direct harm to the environment, the department of agriculture did the same by enacting the administrations forced move to KC which decimated the USDA.      How about Betsy DeVoss for Education? Or Bannon for anything? What about the revolving Chief of Staff position that Trump couldn’t stay filled? Or the Postmaster General, who did much to make the USPS worse?   Let’s not mix politics with racism, sexism, or any other ism. Because Trump made mainly white, male, appointments—many of them not, arguably, people fit for service—or unwilling to commit to term. I can argue this because, again, he’s up for election and will do what he did before (and more of the same, his words).   Please delineate how the selected diversity appointments have negatively affected the US, other than being black, women, or queer? Representation matters and America benefits when its people are inspired and empowered.
