I'm so glad I won't have to wake up as early. 

 

Good morning everyone,:coffee::coffee::coffee:

 

Ashley, congratulations to you and your son for reaching Summer break. I hope you're able to sleep in. Here in my house, I'm a morning person, and my wife is a night owl. I wake up sometime between 06:30 and 07:00 take care of the morning routine, then open the doors and windows or the cats and I to listen to the morning songbirds. I'm not able to start work in the garage, because it shares a common wall with my wife's bedroom. I don't have a particular start time since I'm self employed and the commute is real short. This gives me time to do a small amount of clerical work for the business that I'm responsible for. Once we (the cats & I) hear her up and about, or I see her icon pop up on Facebook. I know I can go out and start the air compressor.

 

Hugs,

Good morning 

 

Well, I am behind a couple of days.  Rough day at work yesterday.  While I wasn’t exactly alone, I might as well have been.  I handled all but a handful of transactions and in between put up stock.

 

today won’t be quite as bad.  The stock is all but completely put out.  Just a few things not done.  The district manager did stop in yesterday.  After she left, the new store manager asked me about being interested in being promoted.   Said I had some questions about it but generally yes.  So we are supposed to have further conversations about that.

 

On Sunday we officially changed churches.  Being readily welcomed into our new church after the previous minister suggested we (I) might be better off in a different church.  Very annoying considering we’ve been members of the denomination since we were each old enough to become members.  The new church is the same denomination just a different location.

 

Then I had my monthly church meeting on line.  This is a church specifically for transgender people and their allies.  If you might be interested in joining us, PM me for details.  The meetings are via Google Meet.


@awkward-yet-sweet I also agree that it is very important and comforting to have affection when you aren’t feeling well.  
 

I suppose it’s time I start getting ready for work.

Good morning everyone,:coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee:

 

I'm almost done browsing the social media platforms, and get to work on my next project. Last night our tomcat Sheldon seen another cat out on our back deck, and with little effort pulled the entire screen panel out of the back door. So my wife and I are surely on several ring door bell cameras herding a cat back into the house. Our cats are not outside cats, and usually respond to their names if called. We finally had to shake a treat box for him to settle down and let us near him. The screen panel was easily put back in the door, however today I will work on a decorative way to insure that doesn't happen again.

 

Hugs,

That is fantastic that your daughter wants Shawna in her life, as well.

I like to quote what the endocrinologist said to me on this occasion, "Let's get this party started!"

That is great news, indeed. 

 

I've still got a few more moves on the gameboard to get there.

Hehe... sometimes I think cats are more mischievous than raccoons.  Fun to open the door and see a cat climbing up the screen starting at me 😆

Another beautiful morning here in the mid south, finished my coffee and starting my day.

 

@Ashley0616Congratulations! It is so nice to hear happy news.

@ShawnaBHappy that it all went so well

Feeling excited, I've got Robotics at the high school today

 

@ShawnaB Awesome! I'm glad your family and these people are so supportive!

Lots of great and exciting news for me to catch up on here. Congratulations to @Ashley0616 - I am so jealous!!! I can't wait to hear about your experiences over time.

 

And, once again, I am so happy for you @ShawnaB !! It is so awesome to have your family so supportive.

 

I've been pretty busy the past few days but the only real excitement is that I'm finally shedding my earring "training wheels" and got the OK to put in regular earrings. I snipped those trainer posts with a pair of wire cutters and am already wearing hoops. It's not as exciting as starting HRT or getting out in public...but it's a step forward for me so I'm excited.

 

Be safe and look for the goodness in this beautiful day!!!

Ugh. Sorry for the double post. I’ve had problems connecting to the forum the past few days. I assume it’s my ISP, as usual.

I have as well. Having problems accessing the site.

 

Well came out on Classmates. Since then I have had 6 people look at my profile. Most of them from the class or two behind mine. Nothing said though, yet. Speaking of classmates, I sent my RSVP for the reunion. Now I am making plans. Have made a hair appointment for about a week before. Want to get a gel mani-pedi. Toe nails will be blue/gold our school colors and the finger nails will be clear. but will do a possible blue/gold on them in normal polish. I am also shopping for a nice casual dress and sandals to possibly wear. Right now time will tell.

 

Well I have a free weekend as my wife and youngest are heading to Lincoln, NE to visit our oldest and family. Leave tomorrow, However I work Fri and Sat. but have a 3 day weekend. Of course, I cannot get over time so I am only working 32hrs. plus holiday pay is my 40.

 

Have a good evening everyone.

Ugh. I had hoped that it was just on my end. Seems we are "under attack" at all levels. Stand tall, all of us.

Good morning, everyone!! First cup of coffee is in my system and bringing me back to life. Looks to be another beautiful weather day here so we plan to work out in the yard completing the Spring refresh. The weekend weather looks warm enough that we'll be in the pool and getting some sun.

 

My wife and I decided to have our Happy Hour tonight in dresses instead of casual clothes - now I just have to figure out which to wear. Oh, and which earrings, too, now that I finally have that new dimension of fashion open to me.

 

Be safe, everyone. Enjoy this day - look for the goodness and find a reason to smile. You are all beautiful and loved.

Yeah, I've had problems as well.   I had recently up dated my OS and was suspecting that.

It's been working for me this morning.

      Good Friday Morning    I will be spending a good portion of my day at church today.  I don’t know how any of my family would have been with me.  They all passed before I figured myself out.  I often think my mother and sister may have figured it out before I did but maybe it was just my depression that they saw.  I don’t know and never will.  My grandfather Young unconditionally loved me but he passed when I was 9.   Same with my wife’s parents, both gone before.  We’ve never had the greatest relationship with my wife’s brother but we do see them occasionally.  They words and actions aren’t always in sink when it comes to me.   Sour kraut or boil cabbage were never big even with my parents so that was something we were never expected to eat.  Nor was anything with mustard.  My mother hated mustard and it turns my stomach. My wife tried to sneak it into things early in our marriage but I could always tell.  She stopped after a while.   well I wave to go get ready to go to church.  I have a committee meeting at 10 and then we have a Good Friday Service at noon.   Willow

      Good morning everyone,   @KymmieLI hope you're misreading your bosses communications. As you say keep plugging a long. Don't give them signs that you're slow quitting, just to collect unemployment.   I have a few things to do business wise, and will be driving to the St. Louis, MO area for two family gatherings.   Have a great day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone, TGIFF   It seems like I am the one keeping or shop from being the best. According to the boss. I don't know if my days are numbered or not. But anymore I am waiting for the axe to fall. Time will tell.   I keep plugging a long.   Kymmie

      Having just a normal emotional day.
    • Heather Shay
      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.
