Continuing to channel the Floridian real estate agent look. lol.  I will throw some white sandals on when I head out.  The jacket got a little washed out and you can't see the detail of the pattern so I took a close up for that.

It's kinda sureel isn't it. It's just a piece of paper but just having that makes one feel seen.

It most certainly is. Walk a little taller, maybe even try to smile nice every few days.

The last few days have been a little mind blowing.  I was a guest on a "relationship podcast" along with my former spouse.  She wanted to interview us because we represented a different approach to divorce and have managed to stay close to each other on a deep friendship level.  A friend of ours is an author and speaker /coach on late life dating after divorce.  We thought it would focus on how we are now but the questions kept steering back to how we managed our relationship and feelings when I came out and starting of my transition.  It brought up some stuff obviously but it wasn't to hard. My former spouse was upset afterwards because the focus shifted to me and my transition.  Quote " It's always about the transition now matter where we go".  She's right of course.  We both thought this was going to shine a light on her side of the relationship.  It made us both realize that she does have some resentment toward the attention my transition gets. 

I'm hoping that fewer and fewer people will be focusing on that moving forward.  I've noticed lately that, dare I say it, I mostly pass?  My ffs has definitely made a difference in how I'm perceived and addressed.  I don't get misgendered anymore!  Thank the goddess.  It was getting more and more painful every time I was being misgendered. The frustration of doing all these things to feminize myself with no apparent results out in the world.  I guess the message there is "Be Patient".  I can see the light at the end of the tunnel for transitioning. There are so many days lately where I just wake up so exhausted from this process. 46 more days until my bottom surg.  I'm freaking excited but also freaking out about it.  I've never really had anxiety about a surgery before, I had complete faith that things would work out. However, none of those surgeries were life altering like this one and I have no idea what to expect for recovery and whether things will work as advertised.   Sorry for the rambling on here, I'm in a reflective place apparently.

Bri I found if the conversation turns to your transition its up to us to steer the point of the conversation back to where it was supposed to go.

As much as we may like the attention try not to make it all about us.

My ex and I did a local interview and I had to keep the host on point.

She was honestly curious about me more than my ex and how she felt so I had to bring the conversation back on point.

Morning, friends! Wearing a much-loved band T-shirt and some shorts made from pants. 

Can't wait for summer to be over so I can go back to wearing layers and being comfortable. I do not like showing off much skin due to self-image issues and the only time I do so is when it is too hot. (I hate summer.)

Link to comment

I'm not to comfy showing a lot of skin because of being fat but sometimes if its really hot out I have to to stay cool.

I love short tops, or crop top Ts on other people but not on me so much.

Tank tops  and camisole tops just roll up if I pull them down  which is so annoying.

Since I have started looking for starter bras now, I was trying on my bralettes/sports bras and realized how affirming they were and after seeing other women wearing sportsbras out all summer, I felt it was my time too and paired with my Old Navy black joggers. So I took a aerobic walk at one of our State Parks then stopped in a local fusion place to get dinner after. Only thing is these types of bras squish what little I have going to begin with. It looks like my top is going to take some time just to get something modest. But it boosted my confidence and felt great. 20220811_144340.thumb.jpg.0533e03f87a10e96da0720e39c91cec5.jpg

You're looking good. I have a couple of sports bras, but have only worn them outside under a tank top. I feel very confident about being in public all the time. I don't like dressing male - feels embarrassing. Kinda flipped the table from a year ago. Anyway, I have to give in to the no-tank sports bra look while the weather is still too warm.

You look great Stevie.  I wouldn't worry about size.  All women are built differently.

      Good Friday Morning    I will be spending a good portion of my day at church today.  I don’t know how any of my family would have been with me.  They all passed before I figured myself out.  I often think my mother and sister may have figured it out before I did but maybe it was just my depression that they saw.  I don’t know and never will.  My grandfather Young unconditionally loved me but he passed when I was 9.   Same with my wife’s parents, both gone before.  We’ve never had the greatest relationship with my wife’s brother but we do see them occasionally.  They words and actions aren’t always in sink when it comes to me.   Sour kraut or boil cabbage were never big even with my parents so that was something we were never expected to eat.  Nor was anything with mustard.  My mother hated mustard and it turns my stomach. My wife tried to sneak it into things early in our marriage but I could always tell.  She stopped after a while.   well I wave to go get ready to go to church.  I have a committee meeting at 10 and then we have a Good Friday Service at noon.   Willow

      Good morning everyone,   @KymmieLI hope you're misreading your bosses communications. As you say keep plugging a long. Don't give them signs that you're slow quitting, just to collect unemployment.   I have a few things to do business wise, and will be driving to the St. Louis, MO area for two family gatherings.   Have a great day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone, TGIFF   It seems like I am the one keeping or shop from being the best. According to the boss. I don't know if my days are numbered or not. But anymore I am waiting for the axe to fall. Time will tell.   I keep plugging a long.   Kymmie

      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.
