Wow, my 32oz. of coffee has me going!

 

Good morning y'all, hope you're having a great one. I'm just busy deciding what to wear today. Any of y'all have plans? I just have a follow-up with my doctor over my ultrasound report. 

 

Have a great day 💖

Good morning, everyone!!! I'm enjoying the quiet of the morning here - 1st cup of coffee down the hatch and ready to read the local paper. No big plans for me today - but since it's supposed to be warm and sunny again I know I'll spend some time in the pool. 

 

Stay safe and remember to find the goodness in this beautiful day.

Good morning everyone,:coffee::coffee:

 

I have a meeting with a fabricator to expand there work responsibilities. I'm trying to scale back my workload in this small space I call a shop. What started out as a plan to cover for my absents during hand, wrist, and elbow surgery, has become and opportunity for them to take over the complete build out of the prop. Sales of this prop is off the charts busy, and I can't keep up with production. My other fabricator has put me behind a larger customer, and is delaying a prop build out for a different type of training.

 

I hope everyone has a wonderful day,

The wagon is coming down to it. just a couple more things. Should be starting her later this week. I hope.

 

Have a wonderful day everyone.

I have to admit that I do enjoy them. It's just when I'm doing things they get in the way. Drives he nuts. Maybe is they were removable? 🤔

I'm going to a wedding this weekend.  Thankfully, it is informal so I don't have to worry too much about clothes.  But the occasion will be a bit awkward.

 

Its GF's friend marrying our sheriff, and I can't imagine an odder couple.  I never really liked the girl...sort of a skater punk type and rather abrasive.  She's very young, and I wasn't happy when she dragged GF into acting like a partying teenager.  I'm going out of politeness and I wish them success, but part of me is straining to imagine exactly HOW it will work 🙄

Ultrasound and blood work went well, and the doctor read the results today.  I have a genetic condition called PMDS, and of course am well within the umbrella of intersex (already knew that). It seems that this condition grows a uterus and fallopian tubes in otherwise healthy "males". 🙄

 

So I have the severe micro-penis, hypogonadism, and PMDS, but that doctor doesn't think I was mis-gendered?

 

I feel like a woman, look like a woman, and have a womb like a woman. I am a woman as far as I am concerned.

Interesting how that goes....  My doctor was shocked that an otherwise normal looking female ended up with zero breasts, a prostate, and enlarged girl parts.  Nothing like being intersex to break their brains 🙄

Hi

 

so my hours for tomorrow were changed, I start two hours earlier now, at 10 instead of noon, and at a different store.  It’s just a mile or two further away.  Off Friday, the. I work Saturday and Sunday.
 

@KymmieL I was wondering if you could recommend a good Ford Eddie Bauer Explorer gurl in Myrtle Beach.  I need to open up the heater AC mixer it seems the mixer flap isn’t moving.  Also, the driver side sunroof drain hose is disconnected or rotted.  I need to get into that too.  What do you think 🤔?  Finally, I got some sanding and painting to get done on the roof.  And all to be done with out a garage or a compressor.

 

let’s see a few spray cans of paint. Some sandpaper A couple feet of 3/8 id hose, and maybe some vacuum hose should handle the supplies.  So, what do you think?  Got any recommendations?  lol 😝 

 

I put a new battery in it a couple weeks ago.  Amazing what all that fixed.  Biggest issue will be replacing the control switches on the steering wheel.  There is a risk of tripping the air bag if I mess up.  Once I’ve done all this it will be like a 20 year old car with 172,000 miles again.

 

time for bed

Yeah, they are bewildered by us. Strange also how they want to tell us what gender we are.

@Willow I sent you a message on the fix for your HVAC system in your Eddie. Hope it helps.

 

Wow, your boss must like you or something sending you to another store to screw theirs up. Have fun. I've had to do it before. Actually got sent to the Rawlins, WY store for a week to help out. Company footed the hotel bill.

 

I have got 2 weeks to get the wagon up and running. She is getting there. need to hook up the PCV valve, install the plug wires, Add coolant, and gas. Then install the new chrome valve covers that should be here on Friday.  Then cross my fingers that everything works right.

 

Hugs,

🌈HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!🌈

 

I cleaned up the welding and grinding area in my small shop yesterday. It's going to be in the 90s again here in central Indiana that's unseasonably warm for us. I'm not a Summer time girl. We're nearly 2" behind on rainfall, so I'll be moving the sprinkler around the yard today so the grass doesn't turn brown. I use a 1.5" deep pie pan to gauge the amount of water that lands in an area. Once it is full, I dump it out, and relocate the sprinkler, and pie pan and repeat the process until the entire yard has received 1.5" of water.

 

Stay hydrated, wear sun screen, and know you are loved.

I was able to thankfully fix my insulin pen because my youngest son got it out of the fridge and destroyed it.

Good morning 

 

first cup is gone, considering a second.  Thanks Mmindy. And I’ll pass it on, happy pride month to all.

 

90s in Indiana?  In May/June?  This weather pattern is really messed up.  That wouldn’t be so unusual here yet we can’t get out of the 70s.  Our normal would be 80s with the occasional 90.  July through September are pretty consistent 90s with high humidity.


@KymmieL yes actually my boss, and his boss do like me.  I handle situations that arise quite well.  I’ve trained two new cashiers at the same time once, telling them what to do and jumping in to work the line down if it was getting too long.  I take pride in MY beverage cooler and get annoyed when someone (a supplier or another store employee) messes it up.  I help clean it up beyond normal and I am getting promoted with less than 3 months employment.  Ok, 40 years of prior management experience doesn’t hurt.

 

see what happens when you get bored.  @mmindy I think you might eventually regret it if you completely shutdown your business.

 

well, I need to get ready to go to another store.  
 

until tomorrow 

 

hugs

I had an appointment with a respirologist today, to check on my recovery from the pneumonia that I had 18 months ago.  The bottom line is that I am lucky to be alive, and the way my lungs are now is as good as they are going to get.  She called it a "remarkable" recovery.  It means that I have to do stuff slowly and listen when my lungs tell me I am going too fast.

 

Could be worse.  I am lucky that my wife recognized that I was going downhill fast and called an ambulance for me.  And lucky that the antibiotics worked.

 

We are a long way from the forest fires in Nova Scotia, but we have the same dry weather.  I hope no one drops a cigarette by the side of the road!

Well I was able to drop off the paperwork at the courthouse to officially change my name. Court date and time is set. What should I expect? I didn't even know you actually had to show up. I thought it was just like a divorce. The paperwork goes to the judge and he/she signs off on it.

In NC the clerk of court does it all.

Of course, you need to have all the paperwork and the $$$.

Good morning, everyone!! 

 

I woke up early yesterday - early for me is 3AM - and could feel the depression engulfing me. Walked and fed the dogs at 4 and then crawled back into bed. My wife was awake and she wrapped her arms around and forced me to talk. It gave me the chance to vocalize what I was feeling, shed a few tears and get out of my head. I fell asleep and slept until 6 - woke up feeling so much better and by last evening felt great. It is frightening how quickly we can get into our own heads and overwhelmed by depression - and I am blessed to have a wife who can see it coming and pull me up. 

 

The weather here was warm and sunny yesterday - which always helps - and we ate dinner sitting out on our back porch. Later, we enjoyed a little bourbon watching the sun set from our front porch. 

 

Today we are going to Costco - I always love going there because, not only can you get bulk food at good prices, they usually have some nice, relatively inexpensive clothes to fill out my wardrobe. This afternoon, we'll be sunning and swimming in our pool. Heaven.

 

One of the small things that helped to bring my smile back was.........big hoop earrings! My piercings are healed and the starter earrings are gone!! Now, I'm experimenting with different styles of earrings - my wife is sharing with me - and I absolutely love the  feel of the large hoops moving in my earlobes. Funny how something so seemingly small can have such a large impact on your state of mind. 

 

Enough sharing for today - if you made it this far...I apologize but it felt good to vent.

 

Enjoy this beautiful day and look for the goodness in it....it might be just something small like a pair of earrings that lifts you up.

Good morning, 

 

The CNA that visits every morning for my meds was training a new CNA. The CNA decided to tell the lady that Birdie is "male" by the way. He is intersex so he just looks different. 

I found that to be rather offensive. I don't need explaining to people. 

 

Oh well, life goes on. Have a wonderful day everyone!

i don’t blame you for that.  If the trainee had looked at you record before coming they would have known that anyway.  And they do need to be familiar with your records before doing anything.

      Several years ago, I stated here that I will not start estradiol even though I was pushing boundaries toward HRT.  I started to take spironolactone but had to stop.  Also, I have been on finasteride for a few years now.  I finally broke down and started estradiol last year.  After 3 months, my body started to show small feminization.  I developed breast buds that were about the size of quarter on both sides.  Even though these changes were quite desirable, I decided to stop HRT.  I was terrified of the consequences of transitioning.     After 3 months, I started hrt again but stopped after 2 months.  I restarted again but stopped yet again after 3 months.  My body changes seem to happen faster each subsequent time.     I am so conflicted right now.  I would love to be on estradiol yet I am afraid to do so.  It has been 5 months since my last estradiol tablet.  My desire to restart hrt is getting stronger.  When I started estradiol, it feels like I let the genie out of the bottle.  I did not know what I was missing.     Has anyone else had similar experience?  Honestly, I do not know where to go from here.     Susannah

      I finally did something today that I've wanted to do for a long time, but haven't had the courage to try.  I got my nipples pierced!  Also got hip dermals and belly button done.  I held off for years for multiple reasons, not the least of which lately was the uncertainty of how it will affect how I pass.  Don't see a lot of boys with those kinds of piercings.  But I figure I'm androgynous so I can pull off the look well enough.  And also, our faith community isn't exactly in favor of tattoos and piercings.    One of my partners did the job - she's pretty good at it.  She's done VCH piercings for my female partners (kind of a wedding tradition here.)  I was a bit nervous, but it wasn't bad.  And my husband said I look cute, so that's eased my mind a bit too. 
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      I think there's a difference between banning a book and saying it isn't suitable for academic purposes.  Students can read whatever they want from the library on their own time.  And if they end up doing a book project they can probably pick something to use that isn't on the list of things teachers can use in classes.  I suspect that the removal of some of these books is due to sex scenes inside.  Toni Morrison's stuff, for example.  I read both Beloved and Song of Solomon when I was in high school.  I didn't find the sex parts of books to be particularly lurid, but I definitely found Beloved to be demonic and disturbing.  I'm glad that book isn't approved for use in our county's high school.  And its not like the schools are against multicultural literature.  For example, Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart is read by just about everybody (although my husband says that you have to reread the book as an adult to really get the benefit of it.)    I think we have to look at why we have an English or literature class.  Why are some books useful and others not?  For example, Shakespeare's plays and poems have historical and literary value.  Teachers spend time on those, but probably not Tom Clancy or Nicholas Sparks novels.  Teachers want students to experience literary styles, cultures, and teach about the structure of writing.  Selecting what is useful is a subjective judgement, of course.  The thought that Beloved or Song of Solomon doesn't make the grade doesn't seem odd to me at all. 
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Yeah, we find messes like that too sometimes.   Multiple house cats.  They are quiet at 3am, but 11pm is the hour where they all go nuts.  We call it the "hour of scampering."  One of them actually runs into walls, and I've found them wearing dirty laundry.  Ever seen a cat turn a pair of panties into a shirt? 
    • Nicoleeolee
      3:30 in the morning is basically when my cat goes on crack for a while…. I actually believe she’s chasing ghost away because there’s no other reason for her to reach running through the entire house and tearing up everything…… I know this is about what we’re wearing but my cat was wearing this when I woke up this morning

      When a book is banned, it does make one curious about it. And being banned by the right wing is kind of an endorsement.

      sometimes that's all that saves their lives. I mean… dragging me out of bed at 03:30 and expecting me to feed you… now?

      I would have suggested but not demanded that you go to your nearest hospital or just to the a local clinic or even police station but I would have listened as well for what it took.  It is no shame to get medical attention, nor is it a shameful thing to get into a care situation.  Here where I live our sheriff will send out a counseling team to see how serious your situation really is, again, no shame attached.  It sounds to me that the police who came to you did the same thing there. We do have the related Discord Site Chat Site for help if you just need to chat a depression off, it is a bit funky, but when you are feeling OK, fire it up for the down times.   https://www.transgenderpulse.com/chat/   I have Cyclic Major Depressive Syndrome myself which comes and goes.  I do have IRL human sources through a couple of LGBTQ Centers around me.  Again, I set up the system in my good moments and found out they were fine for those times too.    I do not know who you called but if it is one of the numbers on on our site here, please let one of us on the Admin staff know by PM which it was. 
    • LaurenA
      The cops were here.  I was able to talk them off without getting arrested.  Every time this happens I swear I'll never do this again.
    • KymmieL
      Wow, That is BS. You call for help. Then they don't want to give any. that is sure nice. Lauren is there anyone else you can call. We are here if you need help. Just talk to us. We don't judge. Only thing we would tell you to check in to is a resort to pamper yourself.   Take care, Kymmie
    • LaurenA
      I was depressed and called a hotline.  All they want me to do is check myself in.  I hung up on them and expect the police to show up at any moment.

      Reading is resistance’: students and parents take on DeSantis’s book bans. Florida governor’s constant attacks on the education system have led to an increasing backlash from a wide range of people. Upon learning that her AP English teacher might not be able to use Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison in the syllabus this year, Mogul came up with an idea to start a book club. Her aptly named Banned Books Club was established last month, featuring titles that have been removed from public school circulations in Florida, and meets at a celebrated Miami bookstore called Books & Books. A range of people of different ages and backgrounds, including a handful of Mogul’s peers, an audio producer and an English teacher attend. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/sep/23/florida-desantis-book-ban-school-student-parent

      You’re so sweet…. thank you so much…. I appreciate the encouragement. I have worked very, very hard. It’s an interesting life having a cat as a roommate, right. I mean overall they’re terrible terrible roommates. You have to clean up after them constantly.. They never chip in for dinner? They won’t go get a job. …😂.   Luckily, they’re really cute and furry.

      Hi, where did the week go?  So, last Sunday I gave a sermon for our on-line church.  Wednesday, I worked 6 to 2.  When I got home I sat for a little while then I proceeded to make two loaves of bread for a church bake sale.  Friday, I worked at our church’s annual yard sale as a cashier.  And today I opened our store, 4:15 to 12:15.  Yes, I was tired.  I’m not used to getting up that early.  I had a short nap this afternoon.  We are going to a local pub for dinner then I’ll watch the Buckeyes vs Notre Dame football game.  I’m a bit of a channel surfer so I don’t know that I’ll watch it from beginning to end.  It depends on what else is on, but I will keep track of the game.     Next week at work we will be doing a whole lot of changes.  Making certain everything in the store shelves is correctly located per marketing guidelines.  Then overnight Tuesday we will pull off all of the shelf tags and put up all new ones.  The entire store in one overnight.  That should be interesting.  I think that is supposed to be the first step in a total makeover.  Well, maybe step two if you count going to overnight unattended fueling as a part of it.  Eventually, we are supposed to get all new drink machines, move the candy aisle, add additional store shelves and much more.  This fall should be interesting.   We had tropical storm Ophelia make a backside visit here last night.  Rain and wind.   Willow
