today, I will be baking bread and maybe some cinnamon rolls.  Good day for that.

Oooh, I am so jealous. Our oven died at Thanksgiving. It is a combo wall oven, warming drawer, microwave unit in a custom cabinet. Of course, no one makes one like it anymore so we finally were able to order an oven/microwave combo and a warming drawer from a different manufacturer. Ordered the oven in December...just told it has been pushed back to an April 5 delivery timeframe. We have the warming drawer here.

 

Last night, the microwave component died - started sparking/arcing so I shut the power off to the whole unit at the breaker box. 

 

Lynn loves to bake and cook so it's been a struggle - lots of salads and things we can make in a crock pot or pressure cooker or on the stove.  In a pinch, she takes everything to her mother's and uses her oven.

 

Enjoy the day!!

 

April

@April Marie I don’t bake bread in it but we have a Cousinart combo Unit bake, broil, toast and air fry.  Bread is hard enough to get right without using a little oven but we use that for nearly everything else.  I suppose I could use it one loaf at a time but today, I’m making two.  And I have a working oven.  Sorry, it’s taking you so long to get.  When we bought our condo there was no refrigerator and we needed a new washer and dryer.  We had to change brands and or models to get one when we needed it.

 

Good luck

Well my wife has been a PITA. Me and my son have gotten a clean out service that will be coming in tomorrow to help clear out the house. At first she refused wouldn't even listen to reason. Then after talking to my mom she relented. But she went back to do some more, Then again it will be cheaper if we already have stuff in bags.

 

I am wondering if my brother in law was either transgender or a CD. In one of the bedrooms. There is bras and panties, womans clothing. In the bathroom there is makeup and makeup remover wipes. There was a few pairs of heels in different parts of the house. My mother in law passed in 2004.

 

I guess we will never know.

Oh, my. We all have secrets in our lives. Sorry that you're going through this - it certainly is filled with stress and emotion.

Good morning everyone!!! I can't believe I slept until almost 4 this morning - a rarity for me anymore. No sign of the black bear this morning when I walked the dogs...but the deer clean out one of our bird feeders nightly. On the good side, I can sit here looking out my den window and it's like watching The Nature Channel. every day.

 

Enjoy the day, be safe and give yourself a hug. You deserve it.

Good morning! Was out and about yesterday with a walking group (so mostly strangers to me) and was suprised to hear 'she/her' being used about me an hour or two into the walk on a very light makeup day. Then a 'ma'am' at the food truck too, so apparently people who don't know me already are slotting me into the correct category. What's new to me is that this is happening without a mask being on and at least yesterday I didn't get the disheartening 'corrections' that have often followed such moments in the past.

Good morning, having my first cup of coffee... desperately needed. I'm so glad to put this past week behind me in the rear view mirror. It was just one of those weeks for me that seemed like they'd never end...and I'm glad it's over. I hope this week will be a better one. Gonna try to work on cleaning my apartment a little bit today to try to start my week off on a better foot.

Good morning 

 

I've made my first cup, bold and black.

 

I am a little disappointed with my bread.  It really looked right when I put it in the oven. Nicely risen, rounded top.  But when I took it out the top had flattened.  Tastes fine just doesn’t look like I’d expected.  The raisin bread came out pretty Good!  We already ate ½ a loaf.  
 

We’ve been catching up on Netflix.  Broadcast tv has been disappointing.  Seems like the have very few new episodes, everything is a repeat and March Madness hasn’t even begun.  We had started Stranger Things quite a while ago but stopped.  And we started Outlander, but have caught up until the last three seasons come out.  Apparently, another pay cable channel has the exclusive rights for the next three years.  I suppose we’ll have to find another one to enjoy.  We could do an Amazon Prime, anybody got a recommendation?  
 

hugs

The bread sounds delicious! Since the microwave of our combo oven/microwave/warming drawer has now joined the oven in the land of dead appliances...and the new oven/microwave isn't due in until April, we ordered a microwave/convection oven/air fryer combo thru Amazon. So, we'll at least be able to do some light baking soon.

 

Amazon Prime suggestions? The Marvelous Mrs. Maizel. The Expanse (if you like science fiction). Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.

The ABC murders maybe if you like mysteries.

 

A lot of things on there end up being paid for.  Which is ok I guess if you are really interested.

Good morning, all!! Another early start for me but we ended up going to bed around 9PM last night and I fell asleep almost immediately so getting 5+ hours seems to be my norm.

 

Sending out good thoughts for @KymmieL today that all goes smoothly.

Yesterday wasn't too bad. We found the keys and title for my brothers cars. The friend across the street bought them. The clean out crew was fantastic. 2 20' trailer loads. Today the deep cleaning crew comes and they are dropping off the trailer to load.

 

Wife is doing OK. Did brunch with her aunt and Uncle. which was nice.

 

Have a good presidents day.

Went to church alone yesterday, my wife wasn’t feeling well.  Was treated with kindness and love.

 

Then last night I went to an online church with almost all new friends.  That one meets just once a month.  I wound up being one of the last to leave.  Also, I agreed to lead the June services.  Now I just need to decide on a topic for my sermon.  I have many to pick from.

 

guess I should be getting ready for my day.  Two doctor appointments today.  One for my wife and one for my.

 

Have a blessed day 

 

Willow

🚲 Yay! After 5 months off because of my back and leg weakness, I finally rode my bike again. That's the longest I haven't ridden in 72 years. Feeling both older and younger right now. Tired but thrilled to flying on wheels again. Just rode around the park a few times—going to work on it gradually, but I'm back and happy. Don't sign me up for the Tour de France just yet. 

Cheers in circles,

Davie

The hotel in Nashville, TN had this Butterfly display made of old 45 records. I looked so cool and you know I have to post Butterflies.

      Thank you for your kind comments.  I don’t know yet, I might do? She wants to talk on the phone next session,  she might suggest video for the one after? There is group video sessions I can join in with,  the times are a bit wrong for me as I will be at work. You look beautiful too. Hugs and kisses 🥰 
    • Carolyn Marie
      I doubt if there is anything you could tell them that would be "the wrong thing."  Explain to them how you have felt, what your goals are, and what your immediate needs are, and I'm sure they will ask all the right questions.  Be honest, be persistent, and don't take "No" for an answer.  Good luck!   Carolyn Marie

      Congratulations on starting the journey to womanhood, Silas. It can be a wonderful experience, but it comes with twists and turns and obstacles, at times.  You've started off on the right foot by finding a therapist.  If they don't contact you in a day or two I would reach out to them again.  They should at least tell you if they are too busy or whatever.   There are a great number of useful threads in the MtF Forum and other forums to find great advice from people who have gone through the process.  My advice includes being patient, being persistent and being willing to make adjustments to whatever comes your way.  If you have health insurance, it's a good idea to see if your coverage has exclusions for transition-related medical expenses, what approvals are required, and the appeals process.   We'll help out with any other specific questions you have.  Wishing you luck and success!   Carolyn Marie

      I have renters insurance with a $500 deductible, so worse case scenario it costs me $500.
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Wow, that sux.  Hopefully the damage isn't bad, and you can get compensation for it.  Crazy that your apartment owner doesn't think they owe you anything.  Getting something out of another tenant might be like trying to squeeze blood from a turnip...
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Yeah, the annual October exercises are always 2 sides.  Sometimes they'll even add a "third actor" to simulate interference and add chaos. The scenario can be either Federal or foreign invasion, sometimes they simulate organized/disorganized civil unrest.  This year was bigger than in the past.  I'm not really sure how it all works, since I'm not part of it.  But oh, it is so noisy!  Afterwards, there's a lot of discussion and analysis, just trying to improve everybody's skills and thinking in case we have trouble here.  Its sad this is part of our world now - 2020 changed everything for us.    5 years later, our area looks and feels really different.  In many ways, its been good.  We have lots more local business and local industry, and more diverse local agriculture.  We're much more resilient.  People are more connected to each other, and response to disasters like fires and tornadoes is much more comprehensive.  My county has a mutual-aid agreement with a couple of other counties, which has been helpful.  I'm not sure what the future holds, but hopefully we're in better shape than we were before. 
    • April Marie
      Yeah! I'm glad that it went ok. I think you'll find that you will be more open and will get more as you become more comfortable talking about your feelings with her.   Will you be doing video conferences at all? I found that being seen on my therapy calls, as well as participating in the transgender Zoom sessions, was extremely validating and helped build my confidence and self-acceptance.   And, of course, you look beautiful!
    • Jayne
      Had my first session with my therapist today, it was only done through messaging  but the next time she wants to talk to me on the phone. We just talked about how I feel and what makes me happy.  Never really got much out of it today but it is only the first session. Over the next week she wants me to think about what it means to be transgender and what I want from it? See how my next one goes, by all, hugs and kisses 🥰

      Good morning    it’s Monday and I actually got to sleep in. I go in to work at 11:00!  And we have all four management working together.  Not something normal.  It is a “truck” day meaning we get deliveries but we have plenty of stock so the delivery should be small.   @awkward-yet-sweet that sounds like quite a war game. Do you split the group up so that there are two sides or are the drills just one group working together?     have a good Monday, be safe.  South Carolina has been having a series of earthquakes again,  this time in the foothills.  Before they were all centered in the central area.  Clearly the Atlantic plate is moving again.   Willow

      As I was leaving much of the drywall on the ceiling collapsed. I won't know the extent of damage to my things until I get back there this afternoon. 
    • Ivy
      Yikes. I hope there wasn't much actual damage to your apartment.  Getting stuck with the bill sucks as well.
    • Ivy
      Ah, this is complicated. I have no desire to be "Mom" myself.  I'm quite satisfied that "Mom" is my ex.  But since we are "Exes" and our kids are adults, it doesn't come up. I was once was talking to a lady at the laundromat who remembered my family (we were a bit infamous) and thought I was the mom.  I just laughed and corrected her, I was the "dad." It actually flattered me just a bit at the time, since I have serious doubts about my "passing." But, I can understand your wife's position.  Hopefully she will come to not perceive you as a threat to her place in the family.  A woman who has carried and birthed a child (and more) has certainly earned "Mom." But we have little control over how others perceive us. In public I prefer to be called by my name by my kids.
