Feeling overwhelmed. Dealing with a lot of possible conflict coming tomorrow. Can't sleep. New housemate flies in to my house in shambles because the painting wasn't done. Dealing with belligerent painter. Then the day after my brother and wife show up to reunite after 25 years and me to come out to him. I can't stand not to. Best friends gone traveling. Working to a deadline this week. Behind on health practices. Ugh! I need to remain in the day and moment, one thing at a time. Can I? Hope so. Wish me luck. Help!  — Davie and my Goddess.

@Davie  Wow!  That sounds like a lot on your plate all at once.  You sound stronger than me just to approach all that stuff.... I'd be hiding.  With luck, it'll get sorted out and things will feel better in a week or two.

The search is already on. It was a toxic environment anyways.

 

It may be rough right now, but in a year you'll probably be happy you were pushed into moving on.  It happened to my husband years back, and he actually looks at the day he got fired from a crap job as one of the best days of his life.  He went in a totally different direction that made everything he's got (and our entire family's life together) possible.  Good things can come out of bad things, even when it doesn't feel like it.

Davie,

You do have a lot going on... Good Luck, and I believe that it's all within your span of control.

Even if something goes wrong, it's not the end of the world, and you're going to come out ahead.

 

Hugs,

Thanks so much everyone for the support. So far so good. I'm trying to hang in there. I'm believing that what happens is not totally up to me--my goddess knows best—and that breathing is an excellent idea. 💟

Good morning, everyone!! My wife has a cold and she woke up early so......here I am, too! 🙂 Actually, I'm always up at this time anyway. The dogs have been walked and fed and I'm finished with the first cup of coffee.

 

We had another wonderful Zoom meeting last night. I truly enjoy seeing and talking with everyone. You all have so much experience to share that I find myself just sitting and listening at times. I'm in awe of the courage and determination. And, the laughter just brightens my soul.  Thank you all!!

 

I'm sorry that I didn't see your earlier posts @Davie. I am so glad that things are working out for you with the new housemate. It was so good to see you in person!!

 

And it was wonderful to talk with you also, @MaybeRob!!

 

No big plans for the day for me. It's time to beginning the process of picking up leaves and getting our house winter-ready so that will keep me busy for a bit.

 

Be safe, everyone, and remember to look for the goodness in this beautiful day we've been given.

I wasn't able to attend the Zoom meeting because I had a lot of pressure in the back part of my head and couldn't see well enough to attend. I went to bed at 6. I tried to stay up but I just couldn't.

Good morning 

 

yesterday was an early day, I had to be at work at 4:15 am. I don’t mind because that gives me afternoons for other things. And it was Sweetie’s annual vet visit. Shots, weight and and overall health assessment.  She passed with flying colors.  They were lowering the table for her to get on and when It got to a point I knew she could jump I just told here to and she did.  There were impressed.  She never flinches or yelps getting her shots either, just stands there patiently.

 

I also went to a new store and met people I’ll be supervising was shown around and got a key.  I open that store on Saturday.  Next week I open my current store two days and the new one twice. I’ll be working at both for a while until the old store hires my replacement.  Two of us have jumped ship to the bigger newer store.  
 

hugs

I'm doing much better so far thank you for asking. I don't know what it was. Some of my family members had Chari Maldeformation and I hope it's not the signs for it.

Good morning everyone,

 

This morning’s coffee meme is a good one and reminds me of @awkward-yet-sweet 

 

I hope you all have a wonderful day.

Yep.... Could also just be that we're all having a foxy day 🦊

Well, we all have 'dating issues', and mine have been driving me nuts.

I have been seeing a 'married man', and I'm really attached to him now 💞. It's very hard when he leaves to go home, but much harder not hearing a peep from him for up to two weeks sometimes 😐. Also knowing I can't message him either. 🤬

It's way too distressing and I do believe I'll be breaking it off. 😢

Hi there veryone,

 

Some big changes coming to this gals future. 
 

First, I will be switching stores.  Ok why would I do that when where I work now is within eyesight?  I like a new challenge and the store where I’m going needs some serious help.  Second, I don’t always get along with the assistant manager though she’s been peaches and cream since the manager moved. The manager and I get along great so I’m going with him.  He asked me to.  My first shift there is opening on Saturday, then I open the old store Monday and Tuesday.  Back to the new store to open Wednesday and finish my week at the old store  a lot of back and forth until they get a new manager in place at the old store.

 

Second great news, I have been nominated to be an Elder at my church.  Following in the shadow of my great-grandfather.

 

hugs

Good morning all, coffee isn't on. I made it last night and kept it to cold brew in the fridge overnight. Mornings where I get up at 3 are just too early to be playing with the tea kettle.  In any case, I'm vertical and ready to take on the day.

Glad to see I'm not the only one up this early. 😉

      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
    • 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 🥰

      When I was younger I won an award at an art show for a painting.  I've also taken first place in multiple auto racing events.

      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.
