Gotta make a second cup to get started since we "sprang forward".  I'll enjoy the light in the afternoon but it was a dark rainy start today and hard to get out of bed. 

  Jordy,   We use the plastic pints and 1/2 pints that one gets at takeouts for soup.  Over the years we've amassed a large collection.  We'll make up a large batch of Rrat-tat-tui and freeze 1/2 pints which are perfect for two on ravioli to pasta.  we also make up batches of chick peas, or humas and freeze them.   Being vegetarian the food prep takes longer so doing large batches and freezing them works well for us.

  As a hippie child of the 60's i love jeans with a flare at the base.  Unfortunately affordable bell bottoms are rare.  Tight bottoms and thighs with a flip at the ankle is a lovely combination for me.

 

Hugs,

 

Charlize

Good morning everyone.  Had breakfast and coffee at church today.  It’s a beautiful day today.  Sunny low 70s.  A little breezy because some storms are predicted for later..

 

went St to a local group meeting last night.  I say local but it’s really 90 minutes away.  

 

Met eat some new to me people.  The group is transgender support but just like here welcomes all.  

 

Bought some summer clothes.  A couple skorts, a pair of shorts, capris and some tops.  That should be enough.

 

cant say I have any mom jeans.  I don’t have any women’s jeans.

 

Have a great day. Pray there aren’t any bad tornados like the ones that killed 24 people last week.

 

Willow

Me too!.  I remember that originally my Dad wouldn't let me wear bell bottoms as he thought they were for the girls.  My Mother convinced him otherwise and my first pair was a dress slack.  After that it went fine!

 

It's snowing today but will warm up and turn to rain later.  Yesterday was nice out and I can tell spring is coming as I saw a guy pulling his boat (shrink wrapped) home from storage.  That and a number sports cars were on the road.  A bit early for that I think!  There's ice on the lake still but it won't be long before its out.

Good morning y'all!

 

No coffee for me this morning! Electrolysis! Just thought I'd pop in 'n say hi!

I'm finally seeing some results. My chin is nearly smooth. Working on jaw line now.

With dominant Native genes I don't have much facial hair so it is not real intense. 

 

I really feel for the girls that have 5 o'clock shadow by noon. Takes me a three days min get even close to ANY shadow.

Hi, coffee is good today. Had a donut too!  I don’t intend to worry about facial hair.  I can shave close enough and cover it with makeup to pass and add a little touch up for the evening.

Had to take the wife to her early AM appointment in Denver today. This was a yearly appointment everything was good, so now don't have to go back for 2 yrs now. Left last night stayed at a LaQuinta last night. Actually able to wear a woman's one piece in the hot tub/pool for the first time.

Back home now to wait for the blizzard expected to hit early AM. Wait and see if we get anything.

I am sorry for your loss Willow.  It will be 23 years since we lost our younger 13 year old son and his birthday is still difficult for us.  Time mutes the pain but it always remains.

I am closing down the sugar house as the maple syrup season is over for us.  Lots of cleaning as well as the processing of the remaining sap in the evaporator(around 50 gal.)

It has been a good year for us.  The first 30 gals. i bottled has already sold.  Now to bottle 100 more before turning my attention to repairing fencing, barn cleanup and all the later spring chores.  

I'm glad for the push this coffee gives me along with that warmth in the tum.

 

Hugs,

Good Morning Ladies!

 

Have an 8 o'clock today with my therapist. Should be a good visit as things are leveling out at last.

 

I still have my dysphoric moments. Especially on electrolysis days but yesterday's compliments have me on a much deserved high point. Things have been so... So.... Ummm... Topsy-turvy?

 

I can't explain it. On my third cup. I did some eye makeup but no foundation today. I like to wait a couple days before full face!

 

I won a raffle last Sunday! Grand Prize for a surprising change!  $50 gift cert at ULTA... Wooohooo!

 

Date night this month will sport a full makeover and a new dress. I am soooo excited! I will be sure to post pics!

 

Well... Off to the bus stop. See y'all later!

Willow you are not alone.  Yesterday would have been our son's 34th birthday.  While time does make getting through the day a bit easier, the pain is still there.  We always wonder what would he be doing now.  

 

Hugs, Jani

Low and behold I am actually home now. We closed early because of the weather. 9 1/2 inches so far. can't get in or out of town. Due to cancellations I go for surgery at 6:30 am instead of 1 pm tomorrow.

Kymmie,

 

I hope your surgery went well and everything is good.

 

Everyone,  Thank you for the supportive thoughts around my Granddaughters should have been 10th birthday.  I think of her every day and miss her very much.  Even when she knew it was a matter of hours, she still did her best to acknowledge me and tried to smile.  Such a brave little girl.

 

Beautiful day today, 70s today and tomorrow.  Then the big storm front will blow through here and we are back down to the 50s and eventually the 60.  This has been a really strange winter.

 

Hugs

I am glad things are on the mend Kymmie. It's at times we don't have them that we realise how much our hands do.

 

Just had my breakfast and first cup of coffee. It sounds somewhat windy outside. It could be a breezy walk this morning, but the route to the chipshop is through wooded areas so if not too windy it will be OK. I hope it is a bit more relaxed than yesterday. When I got home I realised just how tiring it had been going on a five mile walk in a gale. The open fields so only shotblasted by soil at the odd point, and a few stinging drops of rain. At least it was not cold and my exertions kept me warm :)

We are due for a rainy but warm! day here.  Yesterday was beautiful.  I'm finishing up the final boils of the sugar season and beginning todo the clean up.  Had my first tick yesterday.  I hate to see they are already out.  Have to start spraying my clothing.  I've had limes several times over the years and despite the vaccine had problems last year with two rounds of powerful antibiotics due to tick bites.  
I love my work outside but with the new species from overseas and the warming of the earth the insect problems are much worse.

Oh well .....i'll have a second cuppa and enjoy another day!

 

Hugs,

good evening all. Had my first experience taking a bath since 2000. It was interesting to say the least. I did get washed and shaved though. Had to do some of the required gymnastic moves to do it. 

 

Have a good night ladies and gents

 

Hugs,

Ticks already? Where in the world is there any place without ticks? Antarctica? I’m pretty sure there’s tick fossils there somewhere. 

 

It’s definitely not spring yet. Too dark and gloomy still. The wind has been so violent lately that it’s probably not a good idea to fly a kite. One afternoon the temperature was supposed to be almost 60 but it felt like it was 23 and I was not dressed warm enough. Weather channel lied.

I think meteorology isn't an exact science. Don't believe it ever will be.

They could at least give accurate temperature in the “right now” section. That’s just supposed to be a measurement from a local weather station. Nothing to predict there.

      Fighting a fever since yesterday. Been shivering cold. even though I keep the house at 71. Went to bed at about 8 last night slept until my wifes alarm was going off.    Ashley I think you are correct. However, they won't be graced with my presence today.   Hugs,   Kymmie

      That's horrible that they are blaming you for her presumption. I hate to say it but maybe they are looking for reasons.

      I have no skin in the game here, apart from the signal that a re-elected Trump sends to likeminded politicians around the world, which would result in an indirect yet detrimental effect on many people here and elsewhere. So, hopefully what I write here can be used as a reference for how he, and American politics in general, is viewed from a country that is not directly involved.   It seems to me that politics is not taken seriously by enough people in America. Actually, specifically the USA (America can be anywhere from Prudhoe Bay to Panama to Patagonia). Electing a celebrity to high office just wouldn't happen here, let alone one who has overseen the bankruptcy of several of his business ventures and is embroiled in hush-money scandals. I remember during my teenage years when Reagen was elected; the main point of conjecture here was that he was just a B-grade actor. Equally laughable was Arnie as governor of California, although he turned out to be somewhat more socially progressive than most Republican politicians.    I simply cannot understand why the Dems cannot find a decent candidate. Biden has cognitive issues. Everyone expected Harris to step up by now, but no. Where's Jed Bartlet when you need him, lol! In my mind, if Martin Sheen threw his hat in the ring, he'd be elected in a heartbeat because many of you would actually believe that he was the real deal! Even though he's older than Biden!!!   Sorry if that sounds like I am trying to insult the intelligence of y'all. But y'all asked for it, by valuing celebrity over substance over the last five decades or so.    I have no doubt that Trump will win in November, even if he is in jail. His rusted-on supporters will just say, "Yep! That's our boy!!!"

      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.

      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.
