Late night, double feature, trucker show

So today was an interesting day. It started by me over sleeping. That's never a good thing. I wake up, respond to dispatch who was expecting me to be ready at 5am. Well here it is 8a and I have 25 messages on my in-truck computer and 3 voice mails wondering where the hell I am. I can't believe I slept that late, too. wow!

I get dressed and ready and drive over to Steak n Shake for breakfast. As they're making brekkie (I think that's a British term?) I scoot inside the bathroom and brush my teeth. Eat breakfast, head over to the terminal, get my paperwork. Load doesn't deliver until 9pm tonight. 300 miles away. Well I have a little time to kill. I go into the office and do my rounds of talking to office people that I know. I go back outside to the smoker's area and there's a trucker friend who I've met a few times before.

Now let me preface this by saying he knew me while I was only living part-time and one particular evening I was sitting outside with a few guys, and me in guy clothes, and a friend of mine pulls up and she goes "Liz!....Liz!" I didn't hear her but someone else did and they're like "Who's Liz?" So I try to play it off and say "I dunno but I see a pretty girl so I'm gonna go check it out!" Well one guy saw right through that..this guy who I'm talking about with today's event. He knows I'm transitioning.

Well today he saw me walking up to the smoker's area and he says "Hey there! How ya been?" We got to talking and he told me that when he first saw me, he didn't recognize me at first and he admitted he was checking me out. Then he realized it was me and he thought "Aw s***!" He asked if anyone around here knew about me and I told him no, and that I plan to keep it that way. He told me (and I believe him) that he will not tell anyone as it's none of his business. :)

I was telling him about the waitress at the truck stop in Santa Rosa and how she said I don't look like a truck driver. Well he confirmed that, no, I really don't. I told him I do that on purpose but it could also be why I have such a hard time getting anyone's attention for my pick ups or deliveries: they probably think I work in the office!

So my time at the terminal was filled with being referred to as she and her so of course I'm happy as a lark. I honestly cannot believe passing as a woman has been this easy for me. It makes me smile every day.

Later today I was in Napoleon OH at a truck stop that also has an Indian menu. Being how rare that it is I get to try the stuff, I stopped here for dinner. I was talking to the waitress (who was this cute little thing but I still contend she was wearing too much blush, but I digress) I was asking her about some of the menu items and what the differences are. She didn't know so she went to the back to ask the lady who actually cooks it. I over heard her say "(whatever the woman's name is)..there's this lady...." that's all I heard really. After I heard "there's this lady" I tuned out and went to my happy place to do a little victory dance in my head.

The rest of the day could have been lousy and it wouldn't matter based on those few events that happened earlier today. Actually part of the rest of my day was lousy but hearing I was referred to as "this lady" was the last happy moment in my head so I just replayed that a few times tonight.

Ya know...that was about 2-3 days ago.

I don't stop there because I think the closest truck stop is the one that has it's own show on Travel Channel that shows all the weird people that stop at the truck stop, so I'm not giving them the pleasure of getting me on that show.

We work so hard, worry so much and when it becomes a reality we wonder how it could possibly be that easy and fast

:D

Perception is a funny thing. But is is so worth it when we do get there! Glad you have reached that point

Lizzie, your posts always make me smile. And they make me think forward to someday when I'll eventually be out full time. I plan to keep asking myself "What would Lizzie McTrucker do?" when faced with a tough spot, and then grin and do it! :D

That's pretty much it! Either grin and do it or grit your teeth and do it. Either way, the important thing is: just do it!

...uh, do I have to pay Nike for saying that?

      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.

      I firmly believe I drank entirely to much for about 25 years. Got drunk every day. This was my coping mechanism to keep hiding deep inside that I was a woman. I miss a lot of signs over the years. Now I drink mabye 1 or 2 beers a day don't even get a buzz anymore. totally accept myself and on regret is that I hide that part of my self which  truly makes me happy being violet 💜. I wasted a lot of time before  being self destructive and had no clue I was just hiding th real me

      Hey, everyone. my life is going down the tubes. at least I think. So, today. A customer called about his car, I told him that the oil change was done. The parts to fix the check engine light are ordered. He can come and get it. For the weekend if he wants. Customer says I didn't want an oil change. it was check the engine light and check for an oil leak. Checking the work order says oil change. The boss wrote the vehicle up. checking with the customer on services wanted.   Being that I wrote down the appointment in the book. and clearly states oil leak. She is complaining because she can't read my small ish writing. It seems she read oil and assumed it as an oil change. It seems like she is blaming me.  She wound up going home because she was too upset. She is stressing about an eye problem she has, she has to get eye surgery it seems she has a tear in her eye.    I feel that I am short for this job. because of the BS they are blaming me on. Plus I am still upset about the trust issue. If either one of the bosses start their Shite tomorrow. I am walking out.

      "I love you so much,"  Lois said.  They met in the driveway. "I could not live without you." "Neither could I." "What are we going to do?" "Find another counselor?" "No. I think we need to solve this ourselves." "Do you think we can?" "I don't know.  But what I know is that I don't want to go through that again.  I think we have to hope we can find a solution." "Otherwise, despair." "Yeah.   Truce?" "Okay,  truce." And they hugged.   "When we know what we want we can figure out how to get there."   That began six years of angry battles, with Odie insisted he could dress as he pleased and Lois insisting it did not please her at all.  He told her she was not going to control him and she replied that she still had rights as a wife to a husband. Neither was willing to give in, neither was willing to quit, and their heated arguments ended in hugs and more.   They went to a Crossdressers' Club, where they hoped to meet other couples with the same problems, the same conflicts, and the same answers, if anyone had any.  It took them four tries before they settled on a group that they were both willing to participate in.  This was four couples their own age, each with a cross dressing husband and a wife who was dealing with it.  They met monthly.  It was led by a 'mediator' who wanted people to express how they felt about the situation.  Odie and Lois, as newcomers, got the floor, and the meeting was finally dismissed at 1:30 in the morning - it was supposed to be over at 10 - and everyone knew how they felt about the situation.   There was silence in the car on the way home.   "We aren't the only ones dealing with this." Odie finally said.   "Who would have thought that?  You are right."   "Somebody out there has a solution." "I hope you are right."   "I hope in hope, not in despair."   "That's my Odie."

      The counseling session was heated, if you could call it a counseling session.  Sometimes Lois felt he was on Odie's side, and sometimes on hers.  When he was on her side, Odie got defensive. She found herself being defensive when it seemed they were ganging up on each other.   "This is not working," Lois said angrily, and walked out.  "Never again. I want my husband back. Dr. Smith you are complicit in this."   "What?" said Odie.   The counselor looked at him.  "You will have to learn some listening skills."   "That is it? Listening skills?  You just destroyed my marriage, and you told me I need to learn listening skills?"   Dr. Smith said calmly,"I think you both need to cool off."   Odie looked at him and walked out, saying "And you call yourself a counselor."   "Wait a minute."   "No."
