Happy Saturday!  I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

 

Happy Saturday, Had a nice experience out in the market, usually a bit nervous about going out fully feminine there as all very boistrous and interactive but all very lovely, referring to me with terms like madam, sweetie and darling.

Good morning, and happy 2 year anniversary! Wow, that must have been quite the week, and a couple after that. I’m at a little over a week after having my Orchie, and this is my second day without “soreness.” Or course I’ve been extra cautious, so that plays into it, but I’m able to start enjoying the feeling of not having things in my way, ?

ps: If you have a post on your recovery, I would love to read about it.

Congrats on your week post Orchie!  How are you feeling other the soreness going away?

Ellora remember to behave yourself.  I had some difficulty in that regards because of the demands of the farm.  Just try to take it easy and soon it will be history.  After a bit the only difficulty i had was the itching caused by healing.  Not good to be in public when there are pubic itches.:D

Sorry i looked back at the archives but they don't extend back to when i had surgery.

 

Hugs,

Oh I have been extra careful, and it's not easy when the twins always want me to pick them up or they want to do flying leaps into me, lol. They have been very good during this whole time. 

I dont think i will have too many itching issues, but the athletic supporter and extra padding can get difficult at times. 

No worries, thanks for checking!

Hope that your recovery continues to go smoothly, Ellora!

I had a busy, but fun day today. Tomorrow, I will forgo most of the coffee because I plan on resting (my disability is being annoying and causing me more pain than usual). I need a day of relaxation before starting the week all over again Monday. 

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.

Thank you! Im feeling great! Friday was the first day I didnt feel any type of soreness. Ive been extra cautious, so I think that has helped tremendously.

Good Morning! June gloom over here in the San Diego Bay area. The tea is about right, just finished my PB&J taco, and my Lady meds =). I hope everyone else has a great morning and a fabulous day!

(For those of you that do not know what "June Gloom" is, it is what comes after "May Gray." The gloom and the gray are the morning clouds that hang out at the coastline predominantly in the months of May and June. In the afternoon the clouds are pushed back and loom over the ocean, until night time, the clouds greet the sunset and wait along the coastline all over again.)

Its been gloomy here in the Northeast today.  A cup of tea is seeping now!  What kind of biscuit should I have with it?   Tomorrow will be sunny again!

Depending on the tea, I would have a better idea of the proper biscuit ?

The sun came out for my friend in the east county, as it usually does, but not at the coast at the Del Mar Fair. That wasn’t so bad, until a bit later after the breeze kicked in and we didn’t have jackets ready. We all had a great time tho. Tomorrow will probably be cloudy on the coast again ?

Given the hour of the day it was Chamomile tea.  I avoid caffeine in the afternoon and evening now.  I had a few sugar wafers as the package was open.  I ended up sleeping well.

Sure, Jani. the package was open so you had to have some. LOL. Got woke up from a dead sleep at about 1 am with a hell of a heavy rain. Hitting the house like hail. may have been but didn't see any.  First day off since the 4th. Had to play real manager the last 4 days since the store manager had to play Army. A couple times I was pulling my hair out. but made it through. Realized some things I would change if it were my store.

 

Then today is the day I head to get my hair styled. Being I am still early in my transition not sure how I will get it done. May leave it up to the stylist. He is a retired drag queen and has experience with transgender people.

Good evening from here, sipping coffee after dinner, tastes great, and glad to be home after 13 days on the road down and up the west coast. Here is a pic I took from across the marina in SD and hotel complex I stayed at in the background...

Beautiful photo. In a couple of weeks, it should be sunny like that once the June gloom is gone.

 I must admit I have not had any coffee for quite some time, not that that has anything to do with the lack of my posting here. I suppose life has just been super busy that way, not really much of an excuse though. I decided I must do something to whiten my teeth so I stopped drinking coffee, at least for now, and I’m halfway through my box of crest white strips and quite liking the results ...  anyway, the weather has been absolutely crazy here, one day it’s cold the next day it’s hot, followed by a day that starts cold gets hot and finishes cold !  My banged up bad leg hates changes in the weather so it’s been brutal, however I absolutely refuse to take pain meds even though I probably should.

It’s been a bit over two weeks since top surgery, and I was pleasantly surprised to have quite literally no pain just some persistent soreness that went away after the first week. I truly wish the surgeon had told me that it would take a couple  months for the implants to settle down below the lowest part of the pectoral muscle, and that the pectoral muscle needed to relax and stretch and pretty much give up to allow the implant to rest properly where it belongs without assistance. I’ve gotten used to my routine of the elastic strap, or as I call it my “seatbelt”, that holds the girls down day and night, but I’ll be happy when gravity is all I need ?

 Hopefully I’ll be able to enjoy a cup of coffee as soon as I’m not paranoid about staining my teeth, I probably shouldn’t be quite so neurotic and just enjoy the caffeinated treat just as I have been since I was two years old, growing up in a Danish bloodline simply means you live on coffee, I actually think it might be  in my blood !

 I did at the very least enjoy this pastry called a Napoleon, it’s quite messy as it has layers of soft gooey stuff in between layers of crispy flaky pastry, messy or not, it was so good I wanted to lick the spilled  powdered sugar off the table, I did however refrain from such bad behavior and maintained My lady like composure..

Hugs to all,

Jackie

That is a lovely and inviting picture Jackie.  

i'll see the dental hygienist the week after next.  I always get a comment about coffee and tea.  Oh well, for coffee beauty must step back.  That napoleon on the other hand is something i would avoid.........i know one would lead to more and the sugar on the table wouldn't stand a chance.

 

Hugs,

      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."
