I got a late start this morning as i was up very late(early) processing maple syrup in the sugar house.  We had our first draw of the season so all the work is finally beginning to pay.  I'll be boiling today but as it didn't freeze last night then i'll get a break.

Love the flowers!

Oh yes this is a fun time.  I loved helping out during the boiling.  Which was basically drinking beer for me.  LOL

Eeep! Tomorrow is T-day! First meeting with my therapist. Kinda want to go with my makeup on, but also want to wait and see how she is first. A little nervous, but not nearly as anxiety riddled as I was talking to my MD.

Sounds good!  Adding a little makeup to your current everyday presentation would be fine and would send the message that you are serious.  Nervousness is to be expected but go in with an open mind.

Justine, if they work with individuals with gender related issues, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second about wearing makeup.  By the time they get to an actual practice of any sort, they’ve already seen it all. But just do what feels most comfortable to you...just be yourself and you’ll be fine.

Oh I am so sorry this has happened for your husband.  I wish him a speedy recovery.

I am glad for you though on your surgery   The success stories are making me look forward to my time.

 

So for me I have tons of stuff to complain about but I am not going to. Hehehe

Coffee does not seem to be agreeing with my tummy anymore and it disturbs me even saying that.  Sigh

I have my "lump" appointment tomorrow and hoping for the best outcome.  I was given a recommendation letter by my therapist and verbal recommendation by my family doctor that she will write one too if needed.  My HRT doctor I see on the 27th in which I will ask her for one too.

Hopefully I can get this Orchi and have done with this pain.

Until then I hope you all have a wonderful day!

I could of lost him,90% block and doctors were surprised he was still walking.It did give him a wake up call.He knows I had a couple stents put in a few months ago and changed things around.One was my eating habits,the bad went goodbye.So I am adjusting very well to post op life life.My family has been great,my brothers have welcomed me in as a sister in their life.They saw the painful life I went through before I did decided to transition.My parents,been a great change for them that they have a daughter now that was once their son.

It is a hard thing to have therapy rescheduled for me.  I hate looking forward to something and then being disappointed.  I'm a cry arse brat afterwards.  LOL

Finishing my last swallow of coffee.

Good morning everyone!

My therapy went well yesterday. I'll be joining in a Trans Support group next month.

Upcoming meeting to be scheduled with the Endocrinologist.

So sorry to hear about everyone's woes.

ShawnaLeigh I'm especially worried about your lump, having had a stomach lump of my own removed this summer. Please keep us posted.

Hugs to all on this dreary, rainy day.

OK @JustineM don't fret as this is just a minor bump in the road.  Reschedule, and settle back in until the date arrives.

 

@Debra Michelle I'm happy for you about your progress.  Your husband dodged a bullet it seems.  Yes he needs to stop smoking.

Oh I’m not really fretting, just a little disappointed. But if she is sick, not much one can say about that. Just going to take the day and try some new makeup stuff I saw on YouTube. After I’ve had coffee of course. ?

I posted this in more detail in my "I've got a little problem" thread in the surgeries forum.

But here's the Short version.

I finally had my appointment with the surgeon.  Bilateral Orchiectomy is schedule on Apr 13th plus all the connecting tubing running up into the torso that she can reach.  On antibiotics and pain killers for now trying to lessen the pain I am experiencing as there is a lot of inflammation going from my left side and up into my abdomen.  Nothing looks malignant according to the good blood work but they will not know for sure until they cut into it. (Yikes.)  

 

Today is my pamper day. 

I finally get the makeover and photo shoot from my therapist.  So I am hoping to have some pictures to share soon.

The only possible down side to this is it may upset my wife on this day of all days.  Though she claims she doesn't care.  We will see.

Sipping my coffee and wishing everyone a very happy valentine's day with a warm hug to seal the deal.

Gosh it's cold outside!

To think I have to be out in this when I'd rather stay snuggled up under my blanket.

Brrrrrrr.

Happy Valentine's Day! 

 

It's also garbage day, so I had to drag the compost wheelie-bin to the road, an 800-foot trek through several inches of fresh snow.  So first I had to get out the snow blower and blow out a path.  Wrestling the snow blower and then wrestling the 300 lb compost bin (4 cats produce a lot of kitty-litter!) sure gave me my upper body workout this morning.

 

Theatre tonight!  It's the second-last show of the run.  I'm going to miss it when it's over.  It's a great show.  I do lights and sound.

Happy Valentine's day all ?

 

Enjoy the Theatre tonight Kathy, does not sound like work at all, but a labor of love, brrrr stay warm.

 

Dark rainy morning here 41f (5c) currently, coffee tastes great, the vertigo I've been having lately is not an issue today, thank goodness. I noticed a friend from another board joined us here last night at Trans Pulse, I think several of us will recognize ?

 

Have a great day

Happy Valentine's Day.  I hear its Friend's Day in some places now.   Its sunny but cold here today so we get what we get.  Enjoy the day.

 

Wow @KathyLauren that's a lot of kitty litter!  I have a sloping driveway and the road is close to 200 feet from where my bins are so if its snowy or rainy I just wait a week.  

 

@Cyndee I'm glad to read the vertigo isn't an issue today.  It can be nasty.

Good morning all, this fine Valentine's day I am taking my chances with this girl I like, wish me luck. This morning I gave her a flower and stuffed animal and she loved it. I am finding my courage to ask her out!

      Good morning coffees   This probably doesn’t exactly apply to me because you wouldn’t have found a more shy and conservative person than me.  I was perhaps less shy before my sister started complaining about me doing things that were hers to do. And I would become embarrassed and that was the end of that.   upstairs unit got their typical weekend visitors in the middle of the night last night.  They woke me up.  They have little consideration for being in a condo community and the neighbors being in such close proximity.   @awkward-yet-sweet , how goes the job with your husband’s boss?  I don’t recall you saying much about it this week, but I could have missed a post along the way.  If I recall you were supposed to meet with him last Monday.   @KymmieL I hope you are feeling better.     Yes, I find it to be wrong that just because a car part says Ford or Chevrolet on the box that same part with Lincoln or Cadillac on the box cost a lot.more.  I know there are differences in the upscale brands such as the engine and drivetrain in the Caddy and of course the interior fit and finish.  But it’s the same body with things crammed in the same way under the hood.     well, time to finish my coffee, fix my hair and made my way across the street to work.    willow

      I read about her this morning. What a shame! She was beautiful and it seems she had a strong support system in place and could have had a wonderful life all to have it end like this. Such a waste. I truly hope the monster that killed her gets everything he deserves.

      I am so glad you enjoy them as well. The help things “stay put” so well. It got me through some of my most dysphoric times.   Wow, I hadn’t heard this at last week’s Zoom meeting if you had mentioned it. That is a huge milestone April Marie.I have no doubt that this confidence will only grow in time. The freedom of being yourself, especially in public, is a wonderful feeling. I am truly happy for you.😘   *Big Congratulatory Hug* Susan R🌷

      @Abigail Genevieve, that is not an appropriate question, IMO.  This isn't the Army/McCarthy hearings.   Carolyn Marie

      Don't think Americans would go for the "compulsory" part. We kind of like not being told what to do ... Amazingly, there is great pushback on voter ID laws. The opponents say it discourages voting, especially among the poor and minorities. That is really a smokescreen IMO for those who want to harvest ballots from as many places as possible, including folks who don't exist or don't hold citizenship...

      Pretty soon I think I might be ready to talk about gender-affirming care for kids, possibly w/r/t the Cass Review and its shortcomings.
    • KayC
      She was a beautiful young woman ...   "What we do know is that the offender was a very violent individual and should not have been on our streets.”  Whether gender related or not, the mental health and incarceration issues in our country are incredibly bad and need to be addressed.

      April,   I'm glad my entries are interesting to you.  TransCentralPA is a great organization with so many caring people.  I would strongly recommend you find a way to attend the Keystone Conference.  I guarantee you'll find it an amazing experience.     Hugs,   Sally

      Dear @Sally Stone.  I think you should author a memoir based on these posts (maybe you're already working towards that?).  You could decide at a later time if/when you might want to publish.   I appreciate you sharing your deep connection with your friend Willa (and I am sorry for your loss) and the benefit of having a Trans friend and mentor in our Life and Journey.  I was fortunate to have found one also in our TGP friend @Kasumi63.   As you know we share many common Life themes in our stories.  Drop me a PM if you'd like to chat about it.  Looking forward to the next 'chapter'.

      Voting is compulsory here, for better or worse. Would doing the same in the US snap people out of their apathy?
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I am noting you use CRT terminology.  The comment is not out of the blue.  Some of your remarks on religion suggest atheism.  So it is believable that you are a Marxist, knowingly or not.  Are you?
