I've added bourbon over the course of the years.

YESSS!!  Definitely a food group!

Gotta agree about chocolate, even though I'm now only allowed the sugar free kind by my doctor. (I have been known to cheat...)

I was going to add chocolate as a food group, but I see that's been well covered. Heh.

When I first announced my transition to some friends, their immediate reaction was, "So now you'll become a chocoholic."  I said, "It's way too late for that.  In fact that should have been a sign!"  😄

Good evening

 

8 straight hours on my feet.  They aren’t used to that!

 

Bourbon or whiskey?  My preference would be Jamesons Black Whiskey.  Yes, the Irish side wins out.  In fact I really don’t like Scotch single malt.

 

Chocolate doesn’t have a chance in our house.  And for me the ratio of chocolate to weight gain is like 1:2. Ugh!  And once it’s on it takes me forever to get it back off.  
 

@Dillon I guess my Snoopy cartoon hit the mark for you.

 

@Rianon I’m so glad we’ve been able to give you a great welcoming experience.  We are all here to help each other and support all, new or old friend doesn’t matter.

 

hugs

Bourbon is always my go to - but I also enjoy a good gin and tonic, too. Not  big on Scotch although I've found a few that I enjoy.

 

Just remember, all bourbons are whiskey, but not all whiskeys are bourbon. 🙂

I have stopped for the night in St. Peters, MO. Thought I could make it across the Mississippi. But hunger and sleep got to me.

 

On the way out of state. Stopped at the VA in Cheyenne. Got a blood draw for my Endo. Then was able to get my blocker shot early.

 

Just wondering what my mom is going to say about my hair. I guess I will find out tomorrow.

 

Hugs,

Kymmie

Good morning, everyone. First cup of coffee is in the books as I sit here checking in and catching up on the news of the world.

 

Safe travels @KymmieL!

 

Enjoy this beautiful day!!!

Already had a couple of cups, and fed the birdies and cat.  Now I need to think about feeding myself.

I'm planning on going up to Asheville today for my support group at the VA.  But first I need to get a propane tank filled.  It may be spring, but it's still nice to have heat.

First cup of coffee and wondering what the day will bring. I have Bible class on zoom this morning. We're a small and pretty dynamic group and I've come to feel close to most there, so I look forward to it. Then my neighbor is taking me on errands. For me that's a busy morning. I spend most mornings resting because of fatigue from fibromyalgia. I might wear my favorite bucket hat while I'm out. A woman at my trans support group said a hat might make my hair look less feminine. My goal is less feminine instead of specifically masculine since I can't go on T for medical reasons and I'm not sure I would want to anyway. I do perceive myself as a little more masculine when I wear hats, so it was interesting to hear the suggestion from someone else.

Good morning 

 

I had a rough night last night.  Too many things on my mind.  I finally gave in and took acetaminophen PM but then I could shake the sleepiness off this morning.

 

I guess I’ll try some time in the pool and dry sauna at the Y this morning.

 

First cuppajoe is done time for a second.  As my old drill Sargent would say, smoke’s if you got m. Me, H no! Never smoked and never will.  I see people complain about the price as they buy 1 to 5 cartons and search for any possible discount they can find.  At $75 and up.  I guess that’s the hardest part of my job as a non-smoker learning all the different brands and sub-types.  And between the cigarettes, cigars, chew, and vape flavored, menthols soft and hard packs it is an entire wall of of products.  The young man I worked with said I’m doing fine, took him several months to figure it all out.

 

keep safe @KymmieL  take care of your mother.

 

hugs to all

@Rianon I’m so glad you enjoy reading this thread.  We talk about lots of things just like good friends and neighbors would talk about at each others kitchen table while enjoying coffee and company.

Good morning, Willow! And good morning, Everyone!

 

I think that's what I enjoy so much about this thread: it's everyday-ness. I can be myself. Being myself has been a long time coming. All those years (I could say "decades"!) while I was living in the male mode, I so longed to be myself. Then, when I finally found the courage to attend the local gender center, I was dismayed to find that –– in order to "fit in" –– I had to prove a kind of hyper-femininity. So, once more, I was unable to be myself.

 

Ah, I see my morning brew is ready. Help yourselves! Half & Half is in the fridge. I'm sorry but I don't have any sweetener. Clean coffee cups you'll find in the cabinet to the left of my Mr. Coffee.

 

Cheers!

Well this morning's class didn't go great. We usually all click but not so much this time. I actually snapped at someone, and I didn't mean to come across that way. I texted her an apology and will check in with her when I see her Sunday. Errands are done, and my neighbor clipped my cat's nails for me. This cat is a two-person job. 

 

@WillowFirst week at jobs threw me off too. I am trying to comprehend the price of cigarettes. Who knew?!

@RianonI'm glad you find this place inclusive. I do too. One of the local groups here is not. I've attended a few meetings, but even though they're nice to me, I'm the only trans man and don't feel comfortable or really part of the conversation most times. Fortunately, I did find a better group.

Hi, Dillon

 

I too would feel terribly uncomfortably when I'd attend meetings or socials of our local group. That really took my by surprise. It wasn't so much that I was made not to feel welcome. It was how cliquish the group was. How each person defined his or her identity dictated the sub-group to which he or she belonged. There was very effort made by people to get to know members of the other sub-groups. The one friend I did make there was a trans man (he is still one of my best friends) and I remember him telling me how unwelcome the group made him feel. It was a real shame.

Just brewing, or dripping technically, my second cup. I'm going to lay low and rest today. Maybe start a new crochet project. How is everyone?

Argh, a couple of very stressful days.  We made an offer on a house we liked.  The asking price was too much for us, but we thought they could be persuaded to come down to an uncomfortable but doable price.  While waiting on their response, the car died.  We had to get it towed.  Yay CAA (Canadian equivalent of the AAA)!

 

I picked the car up this morning after it was repaired.  It had blown out a spark plug.  (Sounds like the last guy who serviced it didn't torque the spark plugs properly.)  The mechanic at the dealership was able to replace the spark plug, which surprised him: generally if this happens the threads are stripped and the head is a write-off.  He did warn me that there was a "knocking" noise that only happened when the engine was warm.  When I heard it, I realized it was a repeat of the original problem - that's how it started.  So, it is going to happen again, maybe next month, maybe tomorrow.

 

Now we have to buy a (used) car as well as trying to buy a house.  We called our realtor and told him that we won't be making a counter-offer.  Back to the listings to find a cheaper place.  I am stressed to the max!

 

I hope you all have a better day.

      watching my figure develope came with it a whole set of new issues, what do i wear? how to cope with men, learning how to make use of my good looks to my advantage.As my body changed so did my confidence the more feed back from joe public the more re enforced the constraints. " I will see you to the door", can you manage that? its way heavy, doors being opened all reflected re enforcement. Moving into a shared house with four other girls, was an eye opener, more so that i was lucky that we were all roughly in the same age group. Understanding what sort of girl was i was more to do with my personality, sometimes that got in the way and could have got me seriously hurt. Debra Lisa and a few others all decided to go to Miss Selfridges a girls shop mainly. I picked a white lycra skin fitting dress off the peg and Debra looked at me and grinned, off we all went with our choice of clothes into a circular changing room, and i emerged and looked in the mirror, one look off Debra said it all!! "your not going to wear that are you", looks in the mirror well, i have a g string on and you cannot see anything, well said Debra be it on your own head. I had bought something that i thought looked good, but what i had not taken into account was the impact upon others. Friday night and it was night out, we all decided we wanted a safe hassle free evening and went to Manchester, Joyce was slightly older but she always kept an eye on me, lol she had hate on her fingers in like a bluish ink, no messing with Joyce. After a few drinks and getting slightly happy i went to the toilet as i walked in a girl looked straight at me and dragged me down to the floor and bit my backside i gave out a loud screech and came out and told Joyce, Debra said we better get you to the infirmary, you might need a tetanus jab, I would rather die than go there and try to explain how i got the teeth marks on my bum, i had never felt such pain.

      https://www.equalityhumanrights.com/media-centre/news/new-advice-gps-their-equality-duties   gathering evidence about the experience of patients who share a protected characteristic to understand their needs   seems like more data harvesting to me
    • kat2
      Funny how the Equalites statement implies a third sex, note, where facilities are available to both men and woman, and then mentions trans people? so we are not men we are not women we are number three, a third sex
    • kat2
      Always handy to read from a direct source rather than those selling news papers or the media who just love to sell more and get more viewers regardless of whom they hurt. however where facilities are available to both men and women, trans people should not be put in a position where there are no facilities for them to use https://www.equalityhumanrights.com/media-centre/interim-update-practical-implications-uk-supreme-court-judgment

      I'm sorry for  I'm sorry for all the spelling mistakes,  it's the translate on the keyboard, lol 😆 I should check it before sending,  lol 😂

      Thanks for all your comments.  It's been a big week,  I'm absolutely loving being able to be me in my work. All my colleagues are brilliant and so supportive,  we share a joke or 2,and  have a laugh, but it's always respectful.  The hardest part for most of them is to remember to call me by my preferred name,  snd they always apologise when they get it wrong, lol 😆  I don't think any of my customers realise I'm trans by the way they address me? I find it heartwarming.  I delivered to one old lady, living in sheltered accommodation,  when she let me in the main building,  she was waiting at her door and said,  oh, that's makes a change, getting a lady driver? I had to take her shopping in and unpack it for her, she was asking,  how long have I been doing the job, as she hasn'tseenme before? I just said, I've been doing it for while,  but I've transferred from a different store,  that way it throws suspicion to how I'm doing my job with ease and competence? She wished me well and said she hoped to get me again. I left absolutely buzzing,  I felt it was a little victory for me? I delivered to a lady with a young child, as she was emptying the baskets of shopping,  she was giving the empy crates to the little girl and said, give that back to the lady. It felt really good,  and i let off a silent "yes" when walking back to my van, lol☺️ one of my colleagues,  I thought I might have a problem with, has been really good with me, I know, he is a bit homophobic and in the past has had and said homophobic comments? Before working in our store,  he only ever worked in an all male environment,  he worked in the building trade. After our meeting on Monday, he pulled called me over and said,  he doesn't have a problem with me, he said since working for us  he has changed his views a lot, there is a lit of gay colleagues working for us  and he has learnt to except? I told him I wasn't gay   I just feel im in the wrong body,  I'm still me, I still have the same sense of humour,  the same faults,  the same problems,  I just dress and look a bit different? Later on in the week he pulled ne up and said, I was thinking zboug what you said   and you are right and he just sees me as a normal person now, he said before ge worked for us, if he gad seen me  he would gave had a problem and eould gave been threatening and abusive towards me? So that was a big compliment coming from him and we have a good working relationship. He even asked how I was getting on with customers   have I encountered any problems? I said I haven’t yet, he said if you get any problems to come to them, meaning him and the other colleagues,  and they will alway gave my back? It is heartwarming and restored my faith in people a bit, regardless of this stupid law, I'm finding people are a  lot more tolerant and accepting than the media are making it? I'll keep you all updated on my progress, Speak again  hugs and kisses,  Joanne 🥰
