@Elizabeth Starthat is a fantastic combination. You do look great, and I'm glad your partner expressed positive feelings about your look this morning.

 

Best wishes, stay positive, and safe,

I’m wearing this dress again today. This time with a shrug and high heel boots. I’m in a pretty good mood today. My partner gave me a much appreciated compliment on my outfit this morning.

That's a wonderful dress which flatters you and goes with your hair. The shrug compliments it. I have a similar one that I wore with a dress on my first ever time out as Niamh in public, so it means a lot to me.

Add a belt or long necklace (with pendant at or slightly below the dress waist) with color that stands out from the dress but not "screaming", and it will have younger look

I had to run some errands today for work stuff- getting permits, licenses etc.  I've discovered boobs have power. lol. Doors being opened, two different people rushed to help me vs letting their coworker etc etc.  One was a young man the other a woman (who my gay-dar was going off on)   She was very flirty while helping me.  I think this was $$ well spent. haha

I absolutely love this dress. I'm so sad that I will only be able to wear it a few more times before fall weather hits hard.

I wore a sweater and a pair of tan pants, a combination I haven't worn in a year, to a rotary club meeting, to which I invited myself. They were all young business professionals, and my long hair definitely stood out!  I introduced myself and talked about my background, and some of my connections with friends who have been affiliated with Rotary, and my interest in the organization.

 

The guest speaker was Mayor Anne who was supposed to give a state of the city address and she was late. Someone asked tongue in cheek if any of the guests were actually the Mayor, and someone else looked at me, suggesting that any second now I would pull off the disguise and reveal my identity. HaHa.

 

They started off the meeting before Mayor Anne arrived with a warm up exercise called Prides and Rats, something you did you were proud of that week and something that maybe went south. One guy said he grew up in the 70's and was proud of his long shoulder length hair, but was now obviously bald. Then said something about being jealous of my hair! Actually, I was kind of flattered, because it means I've made quite a bit of progress over the past 8 months, to the point where people are struggling with what sort of box to put me in. One day at a time. 

 

Next week I have an interview with the local school district for a job as a substitute bus driver. I shall be very interested in their reaction.

Looking really nice there Bri! I might have to reevaluate my stance on getting my chest done.

 

Hugs!

They will get in the way of your workouts for about 4-6 weeks though...;) No lifting more than 5-10lbs for that long

That's what I'm dealing with NOW. Though I've already blown it because my carry-on weighs more than that by about, oh, 35 pounds. I can take the occasional break.

 

Hugs!

It was cool enough this morning to fire up the oven.

Nice fresh bread for breakfast.

Yum! No bread at any store can compare to even the simplest homemade. It's been too long, I should get back into breadmaking again.

After 3 weeks of impatiently waiting, the custom dress I ordered showed up. I'm really impressed with the quality of the material used.

The style of the dress (A-Line) is perfect for you. You will probably hate me for saying this, but that particular subject matter on that dress might have looked better in black (which I know you like)! I love seeing you in other colours - like in this dress, but I just associate skulls with black flags!

I agree. It probably would look better in black. I'm on a mission to have more color in my life.?

It does look good on you.

I tended to avoid colors in my guy days.  Now I like a bit of color.  

Coming out was quite liberating for me.

Love it @Elizabeth Star! That looks really good on you!

 

For myself today I'm wearing black shorts and a black t-shirt from my "heavy days," so it's basically a tent. Also, you get used to a certain lightness in female fabrics? This shirt has none of that. It's like wearing a blanket.

 

Hugs!

You look very pretty that dress Liz and its a great color for you too.

Everyone is stepping up their game and looking so fabulous.

I always loved big colors, so the late-80's/early-90's were great for me. Then the trend passed and I felt I needed to stick with drab. ☹️ My lady wardrobe definitely has more color, though. ?

You know I love to see colour on you, it works so well but I also need to call out those sandals! Gurl- they be the bomb.

Anyone near Chicago want to have coffee do a little thrift shopping on Oct 18th? I get in around 1pm and have the whole afternoon/evening free. Heading up to Wilmette for electrolysis on the 19th.

Link to comment

Don't expect to be near Chicago anytime soon.

 

Had to get a replacement burner for my stove since one blew up on me.

Then I went to the Target (in another city - we don't have that kind of thing here) to return a pair of shoes that ended up being not the size I ordered.   At that point I didn't want to keep fooling around with the internet anymore.

Turned out they didn't have what I wanted at the store, but I did get a refund.

I went home and ordered a more expensive pair from someone else.   Hope that works out better.  

I just gots big feets.

      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.

      Good evening @Ashley0616,   I just got offline with HP tech support trying to get my printer tool box icon locked to my tool bar. This is one of the most important features of my printer that I like because it keeps track of ink, paper, and scanned documents. I'm diffidently not a computer geek.   I'll catch up with the other bookmarks next week. We leave to go home for the Easter Holiday with our families. Saturday with her side, and Sunday with my side. What's odd about that is I'm out to more of her side and they're reluctantly supportive. My side on the other hand are less supportive, and my sister just under me in age will not acknowledge my being there. She will be constantly moving to keep from dealing with me. I'm dead to her.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I used to follow baseball and the team I would cheer for is Boston Red Sox. My favorite player was Papi. He was an awesome guy and even held a child during the National Anthem. I haven't watched baseball for a long time. It just died off to me. 
    • Ashley0616
      That stinks that nothing transferred, and no bookmarks were saved!

      I'm doing patches for now but I think soon I'll go to shots because it's hard to alternate when you are doing two xx patches at once. Unless she gives me Estradiol and progesterone

      Go Cleveland Guardians!  I love baseball and I loved playing it when I was younger.

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      The number is relative to method of deliver, the time of the dose, and when the blood is drawn. However, I do want to keep away from DVT and other potential issues. I assume I may be getting backed down from my current dose, but my doc told me to stick with the higher dose, so? I also wonder if this has anything to do the my breast growth and mental changes that have been happening over the past few years, like I have some estrogen sensitivity so a little goes a long way or something? I don't have enough data to postulate, but who knows!   With weekly, subcutaneous, shots you expect to see big swings of serum level estradiol from shot to peak to trough. My doctor is interested in mid-week testing (for E and T levels only), which would be post-peak blood serum levels but they will be higher than trough. Most, if not all, resources I've seen online is to measure at trough (which I might do just to do it next time) along with a SHBG, LH, and other metrics.   This is from transfemscience.org for Estradiol valerate in oil, which is very spiky compared to some other estradiol combinations. It's also for intramuscular, which will have a slower uptake and is usually dosed in higher volume due to the slower absorption rate from muscles. They don't have subcutaneous numbers, which I would expect to see similar spikes but higher levels at similar doses due to the relatively higher absorption rate direct from fat.   Are you doing pills, shots, or patches? And when you do get your levels checked are you getting that done when your levels are lowest or some other time?

      Both of my parents were from the “North Shore” of Boston.  My mother Lynn and my father Swampscot.  They had an early 1900s Scots-Irish New England diet.  My sister and I were born in the 40s in Ohio well away from New England seafood and in an area where food was more German and Polish.  My first experience with liver and onions was during basic training.  They ate salt cod but never forced us to eat it same with oysters.  My dad ate oysters but my mother wouldn’t.  Anyone who ever ate an oyster can figure that one out.  I grew up eating lamb.  My wife won’t touch it. I love brazed ox tail, again no way. And the list goes on.

      My mother was German, so yes, I think it was a cultural thing.  If I'd known you when we were cleaning out my mother's place, I could have sent you her "threat jar".

    • Ashley0616
      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one.

      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
