Good morning, everyone!! Finishing up my 3rd cup and planning out today's projects. Looks like a good day to get some outside projects done before relaxing this afternoon reading Leviathan Wakes, the book that generated the series The Expanse.

 

Safe travels on the way home @KymmieL!!

 

Be safe and enjoy this day.

Finished my first and probably only cup for today. I have a doctors appointment later this morning. Routine annual, so easy, but I'd rather stay home and get more sleep. 

Thank you for all the helpful posts about my transition question. Hearing your perspectives makes a difference. Now I don't feel everyone thinks there must be a specific event called transition--that helps me a lot.

 

@RianonI'm so sorry you were hurt by your community.

@ShawnaBThat's wonderful about the pageant. I hope you'll have lots of fun.

Had second cup of coffee still in deed thoughts of yesterday

 

Had my ba consult on the 29th. I was in pure heaven. Told me didn't see any reason I couldn't get a BA. Looked at me and had breast tissue. Lol told me A cup that was news to me. Took measurements and wrote things down. He asked me if I knew what I wanted. Told him yes. Silicone and under muscle. He told me he does usual do it under muscle. But after looking at my girly chest told it would be ok to do it under muscle. That was end of visit. Part my fault due to excitement. But never asked to look at before and after pictures. He did tell me between 400-500cc. Never talked about profile.

 

   I went back today and looked at pictures. Only had 4 to look at. The nurse asked if I wanted anything else. I said I would like to see what a 450cc implant is like. She went out and came back with a pair. But these were gummy bear ones. Not the round silicone ones I saw before. When she came back I asked when would the Dr talk to me about size and profile. Told me day of surgery. Am I right to be nervous

We're focused on storm preparedness today.  Forecasts are saying a high chance of hail and tornadoes. 😪.  It was windy yesterday, and the air is so sticky and still this morning.  Not a good sign.

 

We get jumpy because we've been hit before, and a neighbor's house was totally destroyed a few years back.  What the tornado didn't take, the fire that followed did.  They lived with us for a while after as they rebuilt.  

 

So, we're tying down and putting away anything loose.  Farm animals are being moved to cover, and windows shuttered.

My husband started work 2 hours early this morning.  He is releasing his employees early this afternoon so they can get home to their families.  Going to be a busy day.

Good morning!
 
Thank you both for your follow-up to my post yesterday about once having been made to feel like a second-class citizen because I wasn't all hot-to-trot for either HRT or surgery. The truth was I would have loved to be a candidate for both. Medically, however, I just wasn't, and I had little choice but to learn to live with that. I have learned to live with it, and I'm a happier, more fulfilled, and more honest person for it. As I think back over all the years that have come and gone, I realize how wrong it was for my trans friends to make others who were less sure of themselves feel like being trans was an all-or-nothing proposition (my way or the highway). I can forgive them for making me feel that way (and quite possibly, they had never meant to make me feel that way), but they were excited about the prospect of finally becoming in the bodies the persons they had always known themselves to be in their hearts, minds, and spirits.

 

I would have been just as excited had I had the same opportunities. I think kindly of those friends now.
 
I'm lucky in that I'm reasonably passable, enough so that I feel safe going to most places. Of course, as a dear friend once said to me, one of the many advantages of being an older woman is strangers don't scrutinize older women –– or older men, for that matter –– nearly as much as they do younger people. I know that it's a shame that our society pays less attention to people in their upper years. For a select few of us, though, sometimes getting to slip about unnoticed can also be a blessing!

Well was in place where there was no unisex bathroom. I may not pass. But I had my breast forms on and my makeup. Had to go pee. Used ladies. Walked in and it was empty. Went and did my business. Got up and as I was leaving a nother lady came in. I didn't care and stood my ground.

Good afternoon HappyInVermont,

 

The key words in this coffee talk update is: "Another Lady". You're in there for a reason, and you did well by owning it, as your bathroom. 

 

Hugs,

If you happen to make eye contact in such a situation, remember that you belong there.  Smile and say "Hi".  You don't have to get into a conversation, but pretending that others in there are invisible is a guy thing.

Be safe @awkward-yet-sweet!! And, way to hold your ground @happyinvermont You go, girl!!

 

I just spent the last 3.5 hours moving dirt on our property from a mound of leftover dirt from an old project to an area where there was some washout. I think I'll take a second shower and just relax for the rest of the day. My back earned the time off.

Hi

 

they have found the remains a Casey Johnson, a Wilmington NC transgender woman who was killed and has been missing since January.  Her body was found on the bank of the Savanah River.  Her alleged killer has been in jail for her murder since shortly after she went missing.  
 

Rest in peace Casey.

Well, I did get a second cup of coffee. I got to the doctor's office early, and wasn't taken until two hours after my appointment time. That's unusual for them, and the doctor explained that he had several semi-emergencies (my word, not his). I was there four hours. LOL. After, I went across the street and got an almond milk cappuccino at Panera's.

Good morning, everyone!! First cup of coffee complete, folded the laundry we forgot about last night after giving it a few minutes of fluffing, and now it's time to read the local paper. My back is still a bit sore from yesterday's yard clean-up work - getting older sucks. 🙂 But, I guess it beats the alternative.

 

It's nice to have the warmer weather return - looking forward to opening the pool before too long.

 

Stay safe and enjoy this day.

Tea this morning. I need to catch up with some errands etc. today. Our Friday trans support meeting is canceled this week because the space is not available, and I'm going to miss it. Everyone have a good day!

The best of this new morning to you all, too! My No. 1 ambition for today is apply my browser-blocker for the remainder of the morning (so I'll not be tempted by the Internet), eager to get some work done. So, 'til later in the day …

… keep smiling!

Good morning y’all

 

another beautiful day today.  We sat out by the pool for a bit yesterday afternoon.  Now I have my first swimsuit top lines.  Lol.  I didn’t bother with sunscreen on my upper body, I guess I should have. At least no farmers tan.  I stuck my feet in, and I suppose to some of you the water would have been warm.  But 72 just isn’t my full immersion water temperature, unless I’m in my wetsuit.

 

I work today until 7pm.  That makes the day seem extra long.  There is a late shift, we stay open until 12:45am otherwise known as 00:45!  Glad I don’t ever work that shift.  Oh and it opens back up at 04:00. I don’t work that shift either.  My earliest start is 6 and my latest is 11 which is today.

 

speaking of which, I need to finish gettin ready.  I’ll be back tomorrow afternoon.  It’s a 6am day.

Good morning everyone.

 

Welcome from a balmy 6 degrees. Yep I made it home. ran into some blowing snow in NE and east WY. had to take a side road home called happy Jack road. It is a more scenic route than the interstate. Drove this road all the time in the winter when I worked in Cheyenne. No problems, I have driven that road in worst conditions. But grateful I am home. To sleep in my own bed. 

 

I did make it to my son's with about 1 1/2 to spare. Helps when you set the cruise on 80. Dropped off some items that where given him and his family. including a 130 yr old kids rocker that my grandfather had. It goes to the oldest son. So my oldest grandson got it. However, my granddaughter will probably use it. for her huge collection of stuffed animals.

 

Got a nice shower. Now my wife is asleep on the couch this AM. she must not have been feeling well. Gonna wait for another day or so to let the boss know I am back. so I will start back to work next Tues.

 

Have a great day,  @Willow don't work to hard.

 

Hugs,

Glad you're home safe. OMG 6 degrees! Here people think it's cold when it's under 30. But I remember when I was a kid it got a lot colder here, even below zero.

      One thing I took on board from a former boss who was an absolute gentleman and fluent conversationalist but a hopeless leader because he was the classic yes man to his superiors, was to take the emotion out of the equation when arguing. Don't use hyperbole. Don't exaggerate. Stick to what you know and defeat your adversary with logic. Of course, your adversary will double down and make an even bigger fool of themselves, and not even realize that they have lost the argument, nor will they realize that people are laughing at them and not with them. It also helps if you can separate them from their minions.   A conservative elderly uncle, who left school at the age of 12, swears black and blue that taking Ivermectin (sheep dip) prevents Covid because he knew someone who knew someone else who took it and despite that person being momentarily in close contact with people who had Covid, didn't come down with it. "Well, you're the one with the science degree!" I said.   A lot of people argue out of ignorance. They base their points on populism and rumor. I rarely argue, but when I do, it is in an attempt to push back. Another favorite saying that I use is "Rumors are started by haters, spread by fools and believed by idiots." I then ask, "Which two are you?" 😉

      Good morning, all!!! Cloudy today with some light rain coming. Not a day to work outside.   I will vacuum the house and the head out to our local hardware store after I get cleaned up. Time to buy a new bird feeder for the back porch.   I'm sorry the job didn't work @KymmieL! Hang in there.   It sounds like a busy time for you at work @Willow. Finding reliable people is so hard these days.   Time for another cup of coffee before I start cleaning!!   Enjoy this beautiful day we've been given.

      Nostalgia is an emotion. It is the feeling of enjoying events from the past. People with nostalgia will often look at or use old things that they were familiar with years ago. This is because people feel more connected to those past times that they enjoyed, usually because it reminds them of how long it has been since they last connected to such past times. Examples where people may have the feeling of nostalgia includes watching old TV shows, using old technology that was very enjoyable, and playing with toys that you played with as a child. These memories are usually misleading, and can make someone wish that they could be young again, even if their childhood was mediocre. Human brains often leave out boring or bad memories, which can cause incorrect feelings about their childhood.

      CAT FACTS A cat's jaw cannot move sideways. The only domestic animal not mentioned in the Bible is the cat   A house cat’s genome is 95.6 percent tiger, and they share many behaviors with their jungle ancestors, says Layla Morgan Wilde, a cat behavior expert and the founder of Cat Wisdom 101. These behaviors include scent marking by scratching, prey play, prey stalking, pouncing, chinning, and urine marking. Cats are believed to be the only mammals who don’t taste sweetness. Cats are nearsighted, but their peripheral vision and night vision are much better than that of humans. Cats are supposed to have 18 toes (five toes on each front paw; four toes on each back paw). Cats can jump up to six times their length. Cats’ claws all curve downward, which means that they can’t climb down trees head-first. Instead, they have to back down the trunk. Cats’ collarbones don’t connect to their other bones, as these bones are buried in their shoulder muscles. Cats have 230 bones, while humans only have 206. Cats have an extra organ that allows them to taste scents on the air, which is why your cat stares at you with her mouth open from time to time. Cats have whiskers on the backs of their front legs, as well. Cats have nearly twice the amount of neurons in their cerebral cortex as dogs. Cats have the largest eyes relative to their head size of any mammal. Cats make very little noise when they walk around. The thick, soft pads on their paws allow them to sneak up on their prey — or you! Cats’ rough tongues can lick a bone clean of any shred of meat. Cats use their long tails to balance themselves when they’re jumping or walking along narrow ledges. Cats use their whiskers to “feel” the world around them in an effort to determine which small spaces they can fit into. A cat’s whiskers are generally about the same width as its body. (This is why you should never, EVER cut their whiskers.) Cats walk like camels and giraffes: They move both of their right feet first, then move both of their left feet. No other animals walk this way. Male cats are more likely to be left-pawed, while female cats are more likely to be right-pawed. Though cats can notice the fast movements of their prey, it often seems to them that slow-moving objects are actually stagnant. Some cats are ambidextrous, but 40 percent are either left- or right-pawed. Some cats can swim. There are cats who have more than 18 toes. These extra-digit felines are referred to as being “polydactyl.”

      Good morning,   I over slept yesterday was a couple minutes late clocking in.  But no breakfast or coffee.  Got caught up but it was go go go all morning.  I had to ask for a refresher on how I was to enter something but once I got a quick answer it came back to me.    @KymmieL sorry Ford didn’t work out.  We are always looking for good reliable people, I could get you a job here but the commute would be rough.  Today I have three audits to get done, plus other things during my shift on top of the regular things.  Since I am opening that puts me in the drivers seat.  The Asst Mgr comes in part way throuh my shift but she will have to handle customers while I do the work she would be doing if she opened. Tail wagging the dog.  Guess she’s getting punished for not following the Mgr’s requests.  They do tend to butt heads a lot.     Butting heads with people is a thing the Asst is known for.   @awkward-yet-sweet do you think just maybe this new graphics request was in the offing?  And why you were asked to go to work with your husband?  Obviously, he cares about you a lot and is trying to do things to help you.   speaking of meeting people @Adrianna Danielle we have a youngish customer who comes in frequently, I’d like to approach her but I’m just not certain yet.  She still dresses male but has long hair and early chest development.  My approach, if I ever decided I should would just be supportive but I really can’t be sure that is what is going on here or what and I would not want to make a big blunder if that’s not what he is doing.  A male with early teen boobs doesn’t want to be noticed.   well, I can’t be late again, I’ve got to leave now.  See you again later for afternoon tea and crumpets or scones. Mmm scones!   lol   Willow
