Spring is Coming - What do you look forward to ?

We've had a thaw here recently and my therapist had a Spring's Coming sign in her office Wednesday. Got me thinking. What do you look forward to? 

 

Me I look forward to walks where I can practice my walking skills and practice my voice lessons and maybe finally be identified correctly and not clocked (I haven't been even to a point of having to be clocked but HRT is showing some new changes over the winter - yay!!!)

Being outside where I can hear the birds and feel the wind on my skin.  

 

Its getting warmer!!!

What I was looking forward to was not having to wear anymore masks, but it seems that the government doesn't want us to stop wearing them.

 

Aside from the masks, I'm looking forward to all the really pretty spring dresses.

Skirts and sandals. I look forward to resuming my normal walking attire.

 

Being warm. This one is key. I would like to be warm again please.

 

Wearing my cool leather jacket outside again. It's lovely, but it it not designed for Michigan in the winter.

 

Huh. I guess my answer is, "More wardrobe options."

 

I can safely social distance on my walks though so the mask isn't required.

 

Hugs!

I like winter, more options to feminise my shape. I am slightly worried about stripping back and being clocked. I do miss the sun though :)

I don't miss the sun. I burn like a magnesium flare. I just miss being warm and having more wardrobe options. I'd like to be able to show off my arms and legs again.

 

Hugs!

I'm looking forward to getting my motorcycle out and feeling the wind in my face.  Not sure how a mask is going to work with that.

I’m so looking forward to dressing up and going to my favorite snack bar

(karaoke and Awamori). It’s been over a year now, so I’m really anxious to get out. Unfortunately, though, this probably won’t happen until summer. I also miss my GID group. Our last meeting was over a year ago!

Maybe to should take the lead and set up a zoom meeting for your GID

Yes, I suggested that to the leadership, but that didn’t go over very well. I don’t know why. I probably should have offered to run it, too, but I didn’t. Now that the pandemic is winding down we’ll probably start meeting again.

Just stepping out the door with ought bundling up will be lovely.  This year we won't be blessed with 20 some odd goat kids hopping around the barn.  The herd was purchased last year and is making antibodies for the war on Covid.  By the end of April our new flock of sheep should be established.  Seeing the joy in the livestock as they enter spring pastures is a joy!  As soon as the ice melts on the pond the frogs will sing for love as blue birds and other species built nests everywhere.  Life seems to increase as we all come out to enjoy the warmth.  Of course as an out and about trans person fashion plays into the joy.  Each season has its joy but those first breezes on naked legs are heavenly.

 

Hugs,

Smaller Oil bills. Sorry for the lack of passion but paying the oil man just to shiver here in the Northeast is such a downer. On the plus side, setting spray works really well with the cold.

Warm weather, getting out the bike and just riding. working on the car or truck or something outside. Spring fashions, shorts, skirts, and dresses. actually being able to exercise is one thing too.

      Well said.    Although this so-called Project 2025 will not affect me directly in an immediate sense, it sends a signal to equivalent minded people and political parties around the world that it is okay to exclude minorities and indeed, to persecute them.   In my humble opinion, the far-right politicians know damn well that there is a very large cohort of less-than-intelligent people out there who are not capable of critical thinking and believe every skerrick of dog-whistling, fearmongering, "they're-out-there-to-get-you" rhetoric. Pander to their rural and village attitudes and you're on a winner!    Correcting them with logic and science won't work; they just double down and get louder with their petulance on full display.

      Just waking up so I'm in my pajamas - blue/white madras shorts, a navy blue t-shirt and my sleep bra with sleep-rated breast forms.   Thank you @Susan R for telling us about your mastectomy bra and forms fitting experience before your BA surgery and how sleeping in the bra/forms helped with the dysphoria.    First, hearing about your courage to get fitted gave me the confidence and courage to go out in public.   And, second, finding sleep mastectomy bras and sleep-rated breast forms (I found a set on eBay for a good price) has been a tremendous boost to my feeling comfortable in my pajamas and nightgowns and tamping down my dysphoria and dysmorphia.

      If you could talk for 1 hour about any topic without preparation, what would it be? Mine would be music especially classic rock era.

      Germany has more castles than there are McDonald's in the United States. Yep, you heard that right. Germany is estimated to have 25,000 castles, and there are around 13,000 McDonald's locations in America.   In Washington state, there's a real-life law stating it's illegal to kill bigfoot and other sasquatch-like creatures.

      DREAD f you’re anticipating something positive, you’re probably motivated to summon all your patience to wait for it—and sometimes for extended time periods. It may be counter-intuitive, yet in certain instances such waiting can itself be gratifying. Consider Carly Simon’s song “Anticipation,” the old Heinz ketchup ads, and—especially—recent research pointing in the opposite direction as regards awaiting something highly aversive. In this post I won’t be reviewing ketchup commercials, but I will be exploring some intriguing research on dread-infused anticipation.

      So an update from me.   Had my endo appointment last night. Went very well and they are sending 3 months supply of estrogen (estradoil patches) and the anti-androgens whilst my Dr gets a shared care agreement sorted out. So happy, should start HRT tomorrow!! Cost for the 3 month supply is £70 total for me, so not too bad. Not told my parents about this yet, but them being in spain, not sure they need to know yet.   Can't wait to start, just got to think about where to put the patches now and wait for the changes...

      Good Morning    well it’s Friday for most, pay day for some.  For me it’s pay day but not Friday.  I work the same opening shift tomorrow.  I typically have Friday on Saturday and Monday on Tuesday.     @KymmieL it does sound like your shop has an issue and you are smack in the thick of it.  The new gal or guy often is.  We have an issue with new people not getting fully trained before being turned loose on customers.  Some struggle through it and some quit because of it.  I try to get them working with customers as quickly as I can but I stay right with them observing, helping, even jumping in when things are getting backed up to keep the stress down.  Not everything comes up during training so when things do, even later after trying is done, I try to help and explain.  Our ASM feels that once she has you scanning barcodes and taking money she is done training.  Generally, refuses to train me on things that she does, and questions why I’m doing something that she normally handles when I’ve been told to do it as part of my advancement training.     She and the cashier involved both keep trying to toss the manager under the bus over a hours of work issue and shifts.  I tell her I realize her issues and I’ll work what ever she needs.  Because of that I tend to get a better more consistent schedule.   Well, time to say Happy Trails to you, until we meet again.   Hi ho Silver, away   Willow

      That does get you the 'starting point' for cup size, but manufacturers, style, breast shape, etc... will effect the results.    Step one is of course finding the proper band fit, then figuring out the approximate cup size with the calculations. Of course you need to try on a few styles after that in different cup sizes close to your measured result until you get the perfect fit.    I have bras in a DD that fit just like my bras in DDD both from Torrid but different styles.    I have some DDD's that fit awesome and some that are a bit loose, but I measure a 46G. It's not wonder that 80% of women are wearing them wrong bra.
