That's great! I'm going to have it probably by next summer. This year isn't looking promising.

Had the internal wifi card in my lap top go bad. Maybe I have been static shocking it again lately. I was at wally world picking up my prescriptions.(more on that in a minute) So, I picked up a WiFi adapter. Now I have a backup for if when I get the internal one fixed and goes out again.

 

Now for the rest of the story. While I was doing my nightly things. My right eye felt all crusty. Checking the mirror, Yep, eye is red and green goop coming out. By the time I got up for my first potty break both eyes were red and goopy. So, once I got up in the morning, I texted my boss, went back to bed. I felt exhausted. Went to our urgent care. (They have a contract with the VA) That is why I was getting legal drugs at walmart.

Yuck! I don't miss that at all! Last time I was deployed there was an Airman who got it in both eyes too. We gave him a hard time and said oh you just wanted time off of work. LOL

Meeting with social worker went well. I have lost my two best friends, and I'm really having a hard time dealing with the grief.

After quite awhile and a box of tissues, I got a lot off my chest. 

She didn't tell me anything I didn't already know, but sometimes you just need to hear it from someone else. 

Stay occupied so I'm not thinking about it all the time.

 

I ventured into other subjects, but she was quick to inform me as far as they are concerned I suffer from 'gynecomastia'. They don't believe in 'gender bending'. 🙄

 

It was worth a shot.

@Birdie I’m sorry to hear that you lost two friends in such a short time. Grief and sadness for the loss of one person is devastating. Adding a second loss is extremely difficult for the grieving person, so it’s good that you are see professional support. 
 

Hugs,

@Birdie That has got to be so hard.  I can't imagine losing two close friends in a short time.  And while your social worker at least understood that, it sucks that she didn't understand the other things you needed to talk about.  Seems like finding somebody to talk to is difficult for everybody, but perhaps you've got a double dose of it due to where you're at. 😒

That and I was up in the middle of the night for a couple hours and I'm dragging this morning. Coffee #2 in 5, 4, 3...

I'm right there with you!  I seem to have trouble getting to sleep, and then I'm up at least a couple of times during the night.  Usually, my husband and I wake up simultaneously.  I guess he's always been like that - up at 1 or 2am, and then at 3 or 4am....making a circuit around the house to check the locks and look in on the kids.  Ugh....now I wonder if its contagious.

I am sorry for the loss of your two friends, @Birdie. We all grieve in different ways, but we all still need to grieve. Give yourself time to cry and know we are here to offer you a shoulder to lean on when you do.

Good morning 

 

I don’t have a lot of time, I’ll explain in a minute

 

Ashley congratulations on the new roll.  Birdie, I’m sorry for your loss. Also sorry your counselor is so far behind the times using out of date terms and ignoring your big picture.

 

ok why am I short of time, well I took my wife to the doctors office to get her stitches out (staples). The nurse didn’t like what she saw, sent pictures to the doctor, he was in surgery.  We have to go back this morning and she has a vacuum drain on over the area.    Then they called later and said to be prepared to go back into the OR if necessary.  I told my boss that I couldn’t work today.  She understood and asked if I needed next week off as well, I agreed that would be a good idea.

 

so I have two get the dog out and leave for the doctor shortly

Good morning everyone,

 

It has been said in several threads, and I have witnessed it for myself. The people who respond to others posting their joy, sadness or confused questions, are some of the most supportive people ever to come together on a forum site. 

 

Thank you to each and everyone of you.

 

@Willow we continue to keep you and your wife in our thoughts and prayers.

@Adrianna Daniellecongratulations on setting your surgery dates set.

 

It's also nice to know the coffee we love, is like each and every one of us.

 

Hugs,

Vascular surgery went well, I have been home resting for about 4 1/2 hours and I'm finally feeling much better. 

I only have three more surgeries left (every Thursday) and then I'll be done. 

No strenuous activities for five weeks, so I won't be going shopping for awhile.

Ok so today has been busy.  The doctor said she needed another surgery to clean the infection out of her back and that she would be in the hospital for 5 to 7 days. We had to go home wait for a call and hightail it back to the hospital.  
 

she had the surgery with no complications this time.

      Good afternoon everyone,   I often wondered why @April Marie and @Willowgot up so early in spite of being retired. Now that I have my own puppy as a house pet I get it. We haven't had dogs since before my oldest granddaughter was born 22 years ago this September. I've always had working hunting dogs, and it was important they became acclimated to the current weather conditions. While the kennels had large outdoor runways, they also had pet passes into the somewhat temperature controlled garage. Yes, they were allowed in the house but only for short periods of time. Fast forward to present time, and I'm potty training a puppy as well as crate training. The first night Parker Von Schwinegruber, slept from 10:30 until 05:30. Last night we went to bed and 10:30 and he started making noise at 05:00. Since I don't want to test his ability to hold his business, we got up and went outside. He took care of business and we went back to sleep. This time he had a dental chew bar and I filled his water bowl. We cat napped until 08:00 and then got up for the day taking him immediately outside. He took care of business, and we played fetch and tug of war with his now favorite puffball. We came in and I put him back in the crate positioned so he could see me cook breakfast. Did he NO HE WENT TO SLEEP! We ate breakfast, did the dishes, and finished off the pot of coffee I brewed at 08:00. Once he woke up we stared at one another for about 20 minutes, because he seemed content to be in the crate. I got up and we worked on some obedience training as well as getting into and out of the crate with permission. We don't want him to crash the gate or any doors we will be going through.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I have not heard about it here in California, but then again we have events of various sorts going on very often, and not just in the June Pride Month.  We have Trans Fashion Week going on at a hotel complex over in West Los Angeles for the next three nights featuring shows by Trans fashion designers and modeled by Trans and NB people on the runways there.  I missed a chance for some free tickets and while I know and love many of the participants I do not want to pay for the tickets which will be in the $50 to $75 range, and which at those prices are nearly sold out.  (Not to mention $25 valet parking each night at the venue complex.).  There will be actual high end fashion buyers there though and it is an area where we are gaining some good footing.  I also admit that NONE of the fashions are going to be anything at all that would fit my basic personal style but look fine if not crazy on my much younger Trans siblings who will model them. (Ok everyone else keep on @Mirrabooka's topic.)

      Welcome to TransPulseForums @gizgizgizzie    I hope you find this place as helpful as I do. I’m also in a slow transition living in the androgynous world. I’m out to my grown children and my extended family with mixed support from them. Some have cut me out of their lives and others want me to be their flamboyant family member.    Best wishes, stay positive and motivated    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Accidents happen.  So do heat-of-the-moment murders, without premeditation or trans-related hate.  It will take a trial to really figure it out.     One thing we can see from this is that it is people in our circles of acquaintances, friends, and partners who are the ones who usually hurt us.  Not someone random. We have to be careful who we trust.

      Friday May 17th is IDAHOBIT (International Day Against HOmophobia, BIphobia and Transphobia).   Do you acknowledge or celebrate it? Do you do anything special for it, like taking part in any organized events or activities?   I'm not an activist and I prefer to fly under the radar, but I am slowly becoming aware of important dates. I have been aware of the date of IDAHOBIT for a few weeks now, but other important 'rainbow' dates have not been etched into my brain yet.    I will wear my favorite pride t-shirt as a token acknowledgement of the day, but it probably won't be seen; cool weather here will mean that it will be hidden under a sweater.

      Happiness for me comes from being cognizant of the things that make me feel good.   Sunshine.   Pandering to my inner woman.   Knowing that some people in my life really 'know' me.   Vacations, and Eggs Benedict at an alfresco cafe.   My wife and I being telepathic.   Grandchildren.   Music.   Wine!    
    • Ivy
      True.  Every trans death is not a hate crime. There is so much hate expressed by some people, that we kinda get to expect it.
    • KymmieL
      happiness to me is being ME. At all times, and it has yet to happen.

      Hello & welcome, giz! Your post makes me remember how excited I was to join here too. I also had queer friends at the time I joined, but any of my trans friends lived a long distance away. So most local queer friends are gay & I felt uncomfortable coming out to them bc I couldn't assume they'd understand genderqueerness. So it was a thrill to join here and immediately have access to do many wonderful, genuine, kind & thoughtful friends-to-be.   Are you saying you're concerned that if you come out to your queer friends that somehow your parents will find out?     My love, I just want to affirm that that's not a weird dysphoria. It's just dysphoria. And we definitely get it. You're in good company here!     Look forward to seeing you around here & getting to know you. I shoot for androgynous appearance as well, leaning towards masculine.   Hope you're having a splendid day!

      Listening to a YouTube mix for me and this song came up and I immediately fell in love again and just want to play music with like minded musicians playing OUR music and feel the joy and fulfillment even if no one else gets it. I love to fall into the music....
