Wow that's a great sunset picture !! how pretty. I used to go Pacific Beach a lot when I was younger (I grew up down there).

 

The picture I snapped was from my hotel room and it was in "old town" pretty much down the street from the stadium and convention center.

 

Have a wonderful day !

Hi! Sounds nice! Coastal clouds here, turned into a nice breezy day. 

Thank you! I used to take sunset pics like these all the time before they closed the access to the roof top here. The only time the open it now, is on the Fourth of July, then we go up topside and bbq, drink, play music all day, until the fireworks display. They put four barges on the bay and a radio station plays music to the fireworks. 

I wish they would reopen the roof, I definitely would be posting more posts here most mornings.

 Congratulations on your daughters graduation.  I hope the breakfast lived up to the expectations of a person with a culinary degree. 

 I'm finishing my oatmeal cooked with our blueberries and maple syrup.  The trip from farm to table can be quite short here.

 Grow oats?   Na.... too much to do already.  That's coffee talking.

 

Hugs,

Thank you! I couldn’t stop hugging her yesterday ? I’m so proud of her, she very hard to do this. The culinary part was easy. The Math part of her degree was not. Anne was never good at math, but she pushed past that, and did it! 

The place was ok, but not the best. That ok, there are plenty more restaurants in SD for us to go to in San Diego another time. 

 

Mmmmm blueberries and maple syrup on oatmeal. Especially if they are fresh! Enjoy your breakfast!

(Hmmm, I wanted to add and can’t find the edit button). Having fresh breakfast from the farm has to be the best. How many farm animals do you have ? My friend I visit frequently, lives in an area where people have some goats and chickens in their yard. Some others have horses, one we can see from her backyard. A little further up the road The farms get bigger.

Good morning all ! Just cooking bacon up in the kitchen right now, so I'll keep my post short.

Sitting here, peering out the window...a plane passes by on approach to Lindbergh, passengers looking out of their windows at a rainy morning in San Diego.

Reading your post Ellora I jumped back in the past and visualised you peering out your window and seeing Charles Lindbergh flying past. Now that would have cheered up the rainy morning!

I almost thought you were saying something else Ellora! I’m so glad it was just me being tired and my vision being a bit blurry. 

 

It’s been unseasonably cold here lately, hot one day then cold and raining the next.

?? I reread my post and That made me laugh! I don’t think my neighbors or the passengers on the plane, would appreciate such a sight ?. The planes aren’t that close, but close enough to see my building, just a few blocks over. ? 

 

Ya, it’s been a bit more rainy here than the past, but nothing too crazy. I hope you have better days ahead!

We finally got a break in the rain yesterday.  I managed to clean the barn's accumulation of 12" of packed straw and manure from 40 goats.  It is indeed one of the labors of Hercules.  This old gal is blessed with some good equipment or i'd never manage it.  At times i wonder if i'm really retired........then i have another cup of coffee, chat here and commute out the front door.  Lovely!

 

Hugs,

      My mother's maiden name is Schwinegruber, and to say that cabbage in all forms of use for our dinner table is an understatement.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      So, I jumped on the "E" train last week and am about 10 days into my HRT journey. I have the tiniest patch available. I laughed when I opened it. "This little thing is supposed to give me more feminine characteristics?"   I haven't really felt much of anything so far, not that I expected to at this point. I am really, really tired but that may be other factors (like staying up too late to watch NCAA basketball every night). The one noticeable difference is that my libido seems to be a lot more subdued. Not that I am proud of this, but the big M was a practically a daily part of life for me. My daily comfort and way to get an endorphin hit or just deal with loneliness. The past week, though, has been, "meh." Is that the HRT tamping things down? Or just a normal down cycle for me? Not sure yet. Time will tell.   I have been very quiet about things overall. Only a few people know. No one in my immediate family. I fear the backlash I will get when they find out. Worst- case scenario, my daughters stop talking to me. That would kill me. I hope I can show them over time, "See, I am still me."   Met with my endo on Wednesday. He is good for me to up the dose when I feel comfortable. For now, I think I am going to stand pat and take things nice and slow. Of course, I could see myself tomorrow asking him to send in the script for the higher dose...   I keep asking myself, what is the end game with all of this. Unlike many on here, I don't have a concrete answer yet. I am not convinced I will "go all the way" and change my name and ID, etc. Part of me would love to soldier on just as I am but with a lot more feminine physical characteristics and a more distinctly feminine wardrobe. What does that make me? Non-binary? Not sure.  Again, I am just me, as unorthodox as that is...   All I know is that this is something I want to do. I am comfortable walking this path for now. Again, we'll see. As always, would appreciate any feedback the more experienced folks may have. Blessings to all!    EasyE

      I grew up with it, my mother's side were Germans.  I still like cabbage.  I make a sweet/sour dish with vinegar and brown sugar, add some bacon if you have it.  And in warmer weather, slaw.  I like that better if it's a few days old, and has worked off a little.

      Good Friday Morning    I will be spending a good portion of my day at church today.  I don’t know how any of my family would have been with me.  They all passed before I figured myself out.  I often think my mother and sister may have figured it out before I did but maybe it was just my depression that they saw.  I don’t know and never will.  My grandfather Young unconditionally loved me but he passed when I was 9.   Same with my wife’s parents, both gone before.  We’ve never had the greatest relationship with my wife’s brother but we do see them occasionally.  They words and actions aren’t always in sink when it comes to me.   Sour kraut or boil cabbage were never big even with my parents so that was something we were never expected to eat.  Nor was anything with mustard.  My mother hated mustard and it turns my stomach. My wife tried to sneak it into things early in our marriage but I could always tell.  She stopped after a while.   well I wave to go get ready to go to church.  I have a committee meeting at 10 and then we have a Good Friday Service at noon.   Willow

      Good morning everyone,   @KymmieLI hope you're misreading your bosses communications. As you say keep plugging a long. Don't give them signs that you're slow quitting, just to collect unemployment.   I have a few things to do business wise, and will be driving to the St. Louis, MO area for two family gatherings.   Have a great day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone, TGIFF   It seems like I am the one keeping or shop from being the best. According to the boss. I don't know if my days are numbered or not. But anymore I am waiting for the axe to fall. Time will tell.   I keep plugging a long.   Kymmie

      Having just a normal emotional day.

      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.
