@WillowYes  Showed up, and I’m vaxxed and flu-ed at last! That feels good and healthy. And also I've walked 2 days i a row-- a definite advancement  and almost 9,000 steps  and better on stairs, too. I'm treating it like an athletic event—it's even better than making captain of the soccer team in college.  

Cheers!

Great to hear Heatherd. 

 

I get any were from 1-5 viles of blood when I get drained. Depends on what test they are doing.

Hi 👋 

 

had a great meet up with my friend.  She is a wonderful person.  Taller than I expected but then I don’t know why I thought differently.  She’s a better mother to her daughter than her wife seems to be.  
 

anyway coffee is done, dog has been walked.  It’s another pretty day although rather cool compared to the past week.

So today is the day after my stressful but very successful week on the streets and in the clinics—wow, am I sore and tired, but it's all just normal stress and workout tired. Best news ever and feeling great in my head. Got my vaxxes and my test results and they're the best ever in ten years—diabetes almost undetectable. And I did lose the 25 pounds I couldn't before. I think my girl side wanted me to look more chic, yes? I have a new confidence which should help my work, too. I watched RuPaul’s Drag Race and suddenly have an urge to dance—I SHOULD dance. 1, 2, 3, 4!

cheers,

Davie

@Davie Big congrats (pun not intended) on the weight loss! 25 pounds is quite an achievement. You should dance in celebration.

Good morning everyone,

The coffee is good, the day is planned, and I'm excited about spending the day with my daughter-in-law. She's taking me to the final Colts game today. She said it would just be us girls. I'm so grateful that she's an ally.

Good morning

 

well it’s Monday morning and it’s sticking to its reputation.  Not going into details but it’s very silent at my place.

 

if you are a football fan, I hope your team did well this weekend.  I am both happy and disappointed.  Happy that the Commanders beat the Cowboys, but disappointed they played to loose the previous week.  Hopefully Schnyder has had enough and will sell the team to someone that actually wants to win and will allow the team management to do that instead of meddling.  
 

otherwise it should be an interesting run to the superbowl.

 

The heavy construction of the next two buildings has been completed and the last one has started site work.  They are supposed to be cleaning up the parking lot and road tomorrow in front of our building as well as the others except for the last building.  I wonder if they plan on doing the final repairs to the parking lots and sidewalks so they can get off bond.  I’m sure everyone will be happy when they are done and gone.  The only issue is I don’t know if people realize what it will be like to have to manage their own HOA, or how much the dues will have to change.  I’ve considered putt my hat in the ring because I have been on the board of directors before, but that should also be enough for me to know better.

 

happy Monday

 

Willow

So far today is just a day, like any other. Don't expect much to change during the day. Go to work, be pretty much ignored by my boss, get misgendered. As they say SSDD.

 

I think I figured how to get shite done. I just need to come home after work. Go straight to bed, wake up at 5 am. PO the nieghtbors working on one of my projects. Then go to work at 11 or noon.  repeat.  as they say BOHICA.

 

Blue clouds and sunshine this am. I have decided that I since the holiday season is over, it can start warming up. I have had enough of this cold weather and snow. OH, and it nice to finally have the furnace up and working. Been working about 5 days. All is good, (knocks on wood)

 

Have a great day, everyone.

Good morning everyone,

 

Yesterday was a difficult day, with high anxiety because it was the day that I as a small business partner, had to go through, count, rectify my 2022 year end documents. I HATE THE YEAR END, AND EVERYTHING THAT GOES WITH TAXES!

 

Okay rant over.:coffee: Today's coffee is HOT, black, and strong. Folgers Black Silk, in a heavy ceramic cup 16oz that stays warm when I set it down long enough to type, backspace, type, backspace some more, right click spellcheck, and type some more. Sip coffee while proofreading.:coffee: Loose my train of though. Change a word so the flow is better. Sip more coffee,:coffee: and notice that 4+ new replies have happened. Hit the Submit Reply tab. Read the other responses, and think...:coffee: They said it so much better than I did.

 

I love the mix of people we have here.  

 

You are valued, worthy, and loved.

Me too. Several years ago, and I don't recall where I read this, I learned that between all forms of taxation--direct, indirect, hidden, etc--56% of our income goes to taxes. If true, that's just obscene.

 

And, @Mmindy, I feel the same way about writing, submitting and reading other people's submissions.

Dragged myself in at 1ish this morning from a friend's birthday party. Swiped my makeup off and stayed awake just long enough to make sure my ride made it home OK. Danced for HOURS and my feet feel like they've been mummified. No regrets except, maybe, that I don't drink coffee.

 

Definately going to take a nap though.

 

Hugs!

I have to help conduct interviews for job candidates. I did one yesterday, I've got one today. Due to the nature of my industry, I opted to appear much more masculine/androgynous (binder, no makeup, masculine hair style, heavy cable knit sweater). My name is extremely feminine and denotes a particular ethnicity, which is not always very helpful. The candidate yesterday was super respectful, though, which won them points in my book despite some reservations I still have about them. And yes, I chugged an entire cup of coffee while doing it.

 

I'm getting a nice wig delivered today, so I'm excited about that. It's super feminine, for when I feel like it. My spouse seemed to dislike it when I showed it to him. Ah, well, he's not the one who'll be wearing it.

Ouch... Hannah, what if you petition the State to review your situation? You could barrow from @Maddeeand her Blog: "I'm my own ex husband" and see if they could give you some relief on how much you pay the other two exes. Truthfully, if the money is for Child Support of a dependent, you don't really feel bad about that money. If it's for Alimony, and the children are grown, fully self supporting themselves. Then that's a real bummer.

A few days ago, I met another person who hates both the smell and taste of coffee.  I'm not alone, yeah!

Yep, its true, and probably worse.  Because remember... everything you pay to others goes to pay their taxes too.  My GF charges higher for her rent houses because she's taxed so heavily as a landlord.  Everything at the store is higher because you're paying for the business' overhead costs.

Hi, I had an interesting conversation with my therapist today.  He always starts out with how I’ve been what’s been happening and so on.

 

We got on the topic of if I’m treating myself adequately, meaning am I doing for myself enough to meet my needs as a transgender woman.that brought out a couple of issues and ended discussing if I had an exit plan.  I actually do have an exit plan should it ever come to that.  I know I can live relatively comfortably with less than my wife ever could.  So she is a bit more locked into staying together.  I have no intention of using that knowledge to force my way into things.  After all we’ve been through and we still love each other, it’s just if I get forced into a situation that is detrimental to my well being, I know how I will make my move away.

Just like my daughter in law she is the same way about coffee. Made her sick to her stomach when she was pregnant with our youngest grandson. Yet, my son loved coffee.

Good morning I hope.  Bad night!

 

Yes I am up pretty early for me.  First cup is in hand, literally.

 

today is shopping day.  We are out of a number of things, and of course nothing is inexpensive these days.  Not even a gallon of milk or a carton of eggs.

 

If you follow my posts here you know that I have to get injections in my throat every three months.  Well Somebody in billing REALLY messed up in September.  I got billed for everything normal, plus I got billed for ten thousand units of Botox.  10,000!  I think that would likely kill me.  I get injected with five units on each side!  I mean talk about ridiculous!  Plus the sent me a final notice on the invoice when they hadn’t even added it to my bill yet.  Yikes.

 

Our temperature is dropping and rain is on the way, but that’s nothing compared to California.  I know people live there because they love it, but you couldn’t get me to lice there no way.  The almost annual natural disasters keep me home and happy on the east coast.  Yes, we have hurricanes but choose where you live and you’ll be ok.  We have forest fires, but we also have swamps that keep them confined.  And believe it or not, we even have earthquakes.  We have averaged more than on per month since last fall.  But unless you live right next to the epicenter you probably won’t know it happened.  Too deep and small. 
 

Anyway I do have friends that are right in the middle of all the flooding and I pray they will be safe.

 

I also pray that all of us here may be safe and that the violence happening against us is over.  
 

hugs and prayers that we all stay safe.

      It's like Musk tapping up kids to run around and mess with agency computer systems, Trump has an army of ne'er do wells that write up a sheets of paper to put in a faux leather binder for him to sign. Trump actually has to do nothing but scribble his seismographic scrawl on the page.

      I think everyone, including Rep. Green, realizes that this impeachment isn't going to go anywhere.  What concerns me is that it isn't really serious, and neither is the "proposal" by the Oval Office inhabitant.  I don't think members of Congress, of either party, should be initiating a very serious action for a half baked (or unbaked) "proposal."  Nothing has been initiated, no military or other action has been done, nothing has been set in motion.  All that has happened is that The Guy held a press conference and said something most people consider unworkable at best, and plain stupid at worst.  That is not a valid rational for impeachment.  If it was, every 3rd or 4th press briefing in the modern history of the White House would have resulted in the same.   There will be plenty - probably 4-6 or more, actual things done by this President over the next four years that will be deserving of impeachment.  We should wait for one of them, and not this ridiculous press briefing that was just an excuse to get his face on the front page for three days and spout drivel.   Carolyn Marie

      @Heather Shay thanks! 💗   For me, emotional healing begins with self compassion and acknowledging my feelings without judgment.   Setting boundaries to protect my well-being is just as important. Too many times, I’ve placed my heart in the wrong hands, and losing pieces of myself in the process can be deeply painful.   Healing, like everything in life, comes with its ups and downs there will be both good and difficult moments, but each step forward is a step toward wholeness.

      I would suggest that you  call or visit your nearest LGBTQ Center for recommendations of safe nightclubs in your area.  I have visited your area and know that there are a good number of night clubs there that welcome Cross Dressers where you can meet the others in person.  You might also check with your Chamber of Commerce there in Ft. Lauderdale since they have encouraged CD conventions over the years even with your governors POV on things.

      I'm a bit confused here. You say you're waiting to see the letter F on your birth certificate, yet you stated on your profile that Female is your birth gender. Would you be so kind as to clarify this inconsistency. Thanks.   MaryEllen

      Welcome to the forums, Michelle!!! I'm sure you'll find like-minded people here who will share information with you. Feel free to wander around, aske questions or just jump into conversations where you feel comfortable.   You may also want to drop by the introductions forum to tell everyone a little about yourself.

      Hi Gloria,   I think it is so incredible that you are approaching this in such a positive way.  Heather and April have already made good recommendations, so all I can add is that as your relationship progresses, maintain open and honest communication.  I have been married for more than forty years and my wife and I attribute our success living with my feminine side primarily because of healthy and honest communication.  We have had a few rough patches over the  years but we have always gotten through them by communicating with each other.   I wish you and your boyfriend the best of luck.

      Government agencies scrub LGBTQ web pages and remove info about trans and intersex people *This also includes disabling social media accounts that support about lgbt+ I hope we still have a place here by this Friday night.
