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.

      Good morning   @Ashley0616. So glad it wasn’t worse.  I did something similar when I was maybe 8. I was playing outside barefoot and stepped on a piece of broken glass. My mother zoomed into action when I told her.     @awkward-yet-sweet welcome back to the working world. Mental work is just as tiring as physical but both feel good.  It’s a different kind of tired when you wake up.   @Birdie what a beautiful young woman you were.   i made a pot since it’s Sunday. Last time for a while I’ll be grinding beans.  Somehow I messed up and bought already ground the last time.  I know I was in a bit of a rush at the time.  That just doesn’t pay.  Slow down and take the time to read the package.     at least we can use this up making single cups too.  We have a replacement for the pod holder that allows you to use ground coffee or tea leaves. I suppose herbs could be used if that’s your thing but it’s never been this girl’s.  (Like I said too conservative and goody two shoes)   Well here I sit in my sleep sweatshirt from Buc-ee’s while the dog is signaling she would like to go out.   i suppose I should finish up and get ready for the day.  And a nice one it will be. Mostly sunny high of 76.  I should go sit by the pool this afternoon.   Willow

      Do you have a motto or mantra?

      Tension is not a well-understood psychological state. It can be both positive and negative, much like stress itself. A 2015 research paper on the theoretical framework of tension notes it's an anticipatory emotional state which tends to be associated with: conflict.

      I'd love to have a dinner party with Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Voltaire, and Ayn Rand.  Would definitely be an interesting time.

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

      Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was.

      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>
