Working at home today (I always work at home - COVID or no COVID!). Hoping this displays as first time I've tried posting photo in a thread here.

Nothing that sounds as fun as @Petra Jane do we get to see Mrs Christmas? but I have my counselling after lunch today and even though it is a phone call and not a video call. the last few times I have decided to try to make a point to be myself at it. One of the things I am looking forward to is building an actual every day wardrobe when I can go shopping with my friends as DeeDee. (also sorry, I used my daughters mirror for the light but it needs a good clean!)

You ladies are so beautiful.  @Niamh that's a great picture...the room is part of your outfit.  Same goes for @Emily michelle, love the outfit and the bathroom.

 

Super cute @DeeDee...your smile makes it so!

 

Speaking of smiles @Jackie C., I especially like the leggings.  A fashion youtuber I was watching pointed out that you can layer pantyhose and leggings to be warmer than pants.

 

I dream of chunkier thighs @ElizabethStar...like those boots, and @Sally Stone, I kinda knew I could count on you to look fabulous.  I had a shopping day too.  Shockingly, I spent $63.00 at Goodwill...but I got 17 items!  So now I'm getting dressed up just work here all alone.

:applause::applause::applause:I would have been happy to wait, but can I say that it was well worth the effort to get the right shot Petra, you look fantastic! ?And very in keeping with 2020 too.

 

@Niamh you must have posted at almost the same time as me today, but that is a great picture - you do look lovely.

 

Aww, thanks @Ann W, you are very sweet, and $3-$4 per item seems pretty reasonable compared to some of the prices I've seen things go for in the equivalent charity shops over here.

It's a lovely card Petra Jane. It's making me think. Yesterday I prepared some blank cards for painting up as Christmas cards. Our art group has a 'secret santa' in which we each send a hand painted or drawn card to another member. I am not sure if it will be on this year as we are not meeting due to lockdown at the moment but I am going ahead with making some. A self portrait may be interesting :)

Today I thinking jegging, hoodie (with ruching on the sides) and faux sued ankle boots. Sometimes my outfits look better in my head than the mirror so it may change.

Just my go-to cold weather stay-home outfit.  Long skirt, thick sweater.

Someone gave me some of the fabric they make sweatshirts from.  I used my very modest sewing skills to make a couple of heavy petticoats that work pretty well at adding a warm layer.

(takes a long time to get this old house warmed up in the morning)

Hei alle sammen 

at the moment, I am in some old, comfortable, mismatched jammies as I work on my novel. But later, I will shower and put on a dress, drive over to Jitter Bean for a 16 oz double red eye, come home and spend an hour and a half with my campus trans support group and then put in a couple more hours of writing.

Right?

You know those scenes in movies were the woman tries on a bunch of outfits in the mirror before going out?  I sooo get that now.

 

In fact, I have nowhere to go, but it's Saturday night, I've been shopping and I feel like getting fancy.

Exactly right. I tried on 3 different outfits today, just to get groceries. Then when I was at the store I regretted my decision. Now I know why cis-women ask their partner if they look OK....every 7 minutes.

It was cold and rainy here in Indy, so after an early afternoon visit to Planet Fitness I showered, shaved, and lotioned my body. Then I put on spandex tights, and eventually a warm oversized hoodie.

The green goes really well with your hair @ElizabethStar  

I am in leggings and a green tee today and the only difference between today and yesterday afternoon is that the tracksuit bottoms are only around just in case I need to speak to the postie in a hurry.

You ladies all look absolutely fabulous.

 

Today I am wearing the luxury edition of head to toe dark navy blue provided by Garda CL. With fashionably heavy accessories by Bulletsafe and Galls. Lol

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      Having just a normal emotional day.

      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.

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.

      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.
