Hi, Shay

I see you’ve put YOURSELF in all-caps. So, let's see, for myself … The past few days I’ve had lots of online business to attend to. The long hours left me dizzy. Trespassed upon, you could say. Earlier today, I thought of Wordsworth’s words: “The world is too much with us; late and soon, / Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers; / Little we see in Nature that is ours … “ So, after I post this, I’m going to turn on my Internet blocker––or better yet: turn off my computer altogether––and remain offline, “untouchable,” until at least Monday morning.Fingers crossed, that will help un-dizzy me.

I am going to  run 7 miles.  I am having a hard time getting out the door today, but, I know once I do I will feel better. It is a scheduled run as part of my training for a half ironman triathlon. It has been a bit of grind the last month. I'm having a 'down' week. I know facing this small hurdle helps face the big steps.

 

I may not be fast but I am persistent

I'm shallow. I'm just going to tint my eyebrows and get rid of the gray.

@Riannon wonderful idea.....I love the Wordsworth quote.

 

@miz miranda I used to run and did 1 marathon - so I understnad the training. You are a better woman than I now.

 

@MelanieTamara You're doing it for YOU so you're not being shallow you treating yourself as you should.

Well, there was one thing I was going to do today, but it's NC-17 so I won't mention it.

 

Unfortunately, my wife's car threw a check engine light. Something in the electrical is messed up so instead of getting comfy, I bought her a really fancy cupcake and drove her home from the mechanic.

 

Hugs!

Today I went on a bike ride in the sunshine to picnic at Cambridge Common and played catch with a softball but mostly I sat on a bench and talked and laughed with real faces. I also texted a new friend on a dating app—she's so sweet. What's better than that? It's a good day to be trans.

 

Look alive,

I went window shopping and actually only window shopped! So proud :) Then I went to the movies. "Promising Young Woman", which I liked. There was even a magic moment when, walking down a crowded avenue, a very young trans woman and I happened to look at each other in the eyes, and there was a connection, like a brief "eye smile". All in all, it's been a pretty good Saturday! I hope eveybody else's was / is as well.

I shaved my legs, chest, underarms, and what is left of my beard today. Tomorrow I'm going to get up, eat my breakfast, do my make-up to my best abilities, go to work, and try to have a good day..

Thank you all for responding. I love that you are treating yourself with respect and having some fun. 

 

@Jackie C. sorry about the car but getting your wife a cupcake was so sweet and hopefully you felt good about doing a kindness.

Today I want to finish a woodworking project. I've been putting together a bird cage for my sister who rescued two nest fall European house sparrows. We've been using an old, old rabbit cage that we used to use for putting young chickens outside, and it's serviceable, but a bit janky looking.

 

My project probably won't get a lot of use. My sister has plans to put in screen mesh in the old chicken pen so they have a large outdoor enclosure to live in, but I don't mind. Even if it's only for a few days I'll still enjoy being able to see Harrow and Darcy (the sparrows) better while they're in the house. It also gives us a nice indoor option just in case they need to come in for something, or a situation changes.

      Thanks, @VickySGVfor some truth. Hatred may speak loudly in a political agenda, but there is always love, there is always love.

      Doesn't this belong over in the Humor Topic??  Grim humor I admit, but it has the dark humor picture of the folks protesting the Sacramento Sanctuary Laws.  If the world is going to end next week why are these people so concerned about someone staying fertile and able to have children??   Crazy.
    • VickySGV
      Once again the opposition is telling scary, unfounded  baloney about what IS being done to any Trans Person.  The truth about the very little and very cautious treatments just will not sink into them because it will sink them.  They bully their own Cis children unmercifully to fit into their molds, and that is gruesome in itself. I am happy to say I know that Trans children and all Trans folks in the area have access to wonderful care based on what some of my former State colleagues who have Trans family members and fellow employees there in Sacramento keep telling me about.

      good for you dear. my guess is soreness is good sign things are going on there. water them n hope. smiles   actually was speaking to someone other day n they said the growth leveled off after a few years  which coincided with a few years of very high stress..n then when the high stress resolved, she grew another cup size..
    • missyjo
      darling I completely agree. but it will need road testing I'd think.    and I recently asked a surgeon about an idea I had for easier recovery...do a zero depth 1st..recover then add a canal..he said NO. this surgery is hard enough on body to recover, do not do it any more than needed. also said penile inversion usually is sufficient n includes a few centimeters of perineum tissue anyway..so keep the perineum pull through as a reserve technique in case there is a problem with theb penile inversion.    hugs to any who want them

      I can't tell from the article if being trans was part of the motivation for the crime, or whether it was simply incidental to it. Clearly at least one of the perpetrators was known to the victim, which seems to continue the pattern that the most dangerous people for us are often people we know.  😒

      Beans, beans, the musical fruit...   But beans and rice make a complete protein, and a pretty cheap base for any sort of meal. Since two of my partners are Hispanic and one is Asian, we use a lot of rice. Plenty of beans too, although 90% of the time they are on the form of black-eyed peas. That crop grows really well in the South no matter how hot and dry it gets.  And the Native American trio of corn, beans, and squash is a classic.  Actually, those ingredients tend to show clearly whether kids were raised with a healthy diet or not. Kids raised eating those foods luke them. Kids raised without experiencing those foods tend to reject them immediately. Rather strange.

      I feel a little better about going outside. I got my EpiPen just in case of an emergency. Today was rough started euphoric and then depression hit real hard and I don't even know what it was about. It just happened. I want to see a bright future but it turns dim because of something. I was disappointed on how much supplemental insurance was more than regular health insurance. I enjoy seeing other successful people making it as a couple through everything in fact I cheer them on but it just makes me think if I will find anyone. I barely dated anyone when I was physically fit male and then it seems the older I get it gets harder. Not to mention everyone down here leaves as soon as they find out I'm trans. It's only going to get more difficult because of borderline personality disorder. It's dang near seems impossible that people would even put up with that. After all that I'm still trying to be positive and hope for the best but I always expect the worst and that has always been the case. Pushing 40 and I haven't even experienced true love.

      Good afternoon everyone,    I’ve been working in the shop and preparing a few training props for shipping. So my responses and activity here has been very slow. I’m doing well just real tired.    Hugs,    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      That’s good news, listen to your doctors and your body. You may be asked to start a daily exercise routine and walking around the neighborhood. The worst thing you can do is become sedentary and laying around.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
