Afternoon all, Just got home from my quick trip to MI. We actually made it quick ourselves. With the heat we decided to come home. We went to the long way home. Went through the UP. down the green bay over to Appleton then through Lacross stopped in Lincoln again with our oldest. Left this morning just before 7 and arrived home a little after one.

 

Actually got correct gendered last Thursday. We left my sons in Lincoln early. (Before getting trapped by our grandson) After putting up with nightmare traffic in Chicago. We knew it was going to be late getting in to the wife's fathers. So we stopped at a Baymont Hotel in Portage, MI. It was still early enough to hit the pool. So we changed into our swim suits. Me in my one piece with matching shorts. and a t-shirt.

We got in the pool, there was a couple young girls 9-11. They where wanting to race. Ones mom said, You two stay on this side let these ladies have the other side. ? one of the girls corrected her. She apologized a few times saying with the hair(long) and looked like I had boobs. ? ?. I didn't say a thing, I winked at my wife. It felt good.

Didn't sleep at all last night, new meds (Argh).  At sunrise made coffee and had a small breakfast, read some news and laid down to give it a try.  I was able to catch a couple hours so I'm refreshed (like a daisy, Ha).  Off to run errands soon.

Good morning! About to start my second cup o coffee. It is a comfortable 70 degrees blue sky, for now. I’m in the east county, so the temperature will climb up to 93 degrees later in the day. But I will not be here when it reaches 93, I will be at my place where it will be around 84 later in the day. At that point I will probably head back here and crank the A/C, ?

Im hanging out here a bit longer ,because I have an Amazon Fire Stick being shipped here, and it  is out for delivery. I had some tea and thongs arrive yesterday, one day delivery, I love that about amazon! I love the tea and thongs, but the peppermint tea is a bit pepperminty, so I think I will get the Spearmint tea next time. The thongs feel great, and I like the color assortment . Even tho I got a pack of 10, great price on amazon, I am already planning to buy more that I had been wanting to buy a while ago. I wanted to see how my thongs fit after everything settled down after my Orchie. I will be waiting for my cup size to increase before I buy a new bra, for now my nipples and buds are taking shape, but my breast size hasn’t increased  enough for me to buy a new bra yet. I’m ok with that since there’s is activity, and every little bit counts! ?

Evening all. just got home from my first Sunday close in forever it seems. Had dinner and now playing on here.

I have noticed that I am loosing weight. Lately I have worn a bra daily. Just being the girl I am. On Fri I wore one that I picked up a few years ago. It has always been tight on my until I wore it Friday. It fit comfortable. I have noticed that some previously tight cloths fitting better. Yeah.

Good morning.  Working my first cup and eating my oatmeal and blueberries.  it's a bit cooler here today.  Yesterday we got an early start working with the goat herd.  It got pretty hot by the time when we were done.  Today i'm hoping to either take down a couple of dead ash trees for firewood and or get the next load of hay in the barn.  Living on this farm keeps this gal busy.  Now for another cup

 

Hugs,

Just had my breakfast, usual cereals (with added seeds and spices) and coffee. It is a bit fresher here now than it was at the weekend. It hasn't been the heat that has been the issue though. A bit of a plague of flies on Sunday. That's the problem of heat and humidity in a place so green as it is at the moment. I can usually keep pace with the house so fresh and clean that they are not attracted in but sometimes!!! As the sun is out I will go out and get some exercise.

Living on a farm with livestock we are not strangers to flies but screens and a well used flyswatter keeps the buzz at bay.  The occasional posker does bug us until my wife's service dog catches the bit of flying protein.  

I'm off today to bring home a couple of does to replace some we are culling this weekend.  Next weekend is the Eid El Adha.  That is a Muslim holliday celebrating Abraham's sacrifice of Issac.  Some of our animals will be sacrificed on the farm.  It is a sad time in some ways.  We are vegetarians but others do eat meat and these animals are treated with respect and kindness throughout their lives which is unfortunately not common with most meat animals.

Need a second cuppa.

 

Hugs,

Good morning, afternoon and evening! On my second cup, and watching NYPD Blue. Used the weed wacker mowed and used the leaf blower early this morning before the plumber came over to look at one of the shower drains. Plus i was trying to beat the heat ??. After the plumber I took the Mazda to Discount tire to have the air pressure checked, they do it for free, all low, ooops. Then I drove back and forth three times to a local car wash to make all the cars shiny. Then finally breakfast. The best part about breakfast, is that’s when I take my Lady Meds. It is a guava year to put me in a great mood no matter how busy I get or hot it might be outside.

Good Morning all!  On my second cup of coffee, but need to jump in the shower, to go visit my mom who was moved from the hospital to a rehab facility.  Last week, she had fallen, and couldn't get up.  The hospital stabilized her fluids and got her on stuff to deal with an infection.    She will probably only be in rehab for a few days, before they send her home, and her house is in terrible shape.   

On Monday, I flew up to Massachusetts, to help out and get her house ready for her to go home, and hopefully get the process started for her moving into a retirement community.  

Sorry for the rambling post, but a lot going on in my head right now.

Sorry to hear about your mom, but good to hear she is progressing well. My mom had the same thing happen to her several years ago. And again several months ago. She does need to think about a retirement home as well. I hope all goes well with you and your mom.

Sorry to hear about your Mom Laura.  I was fortunate to be able to be with both my parents until they died.  They lived in the house i grew up in and we had built a house nearby on the farm. Even so helping Dad get from the hospital to home was difficult but at the same time the time was rewarding as i look back now.

Hopefully everything will go smoothly for you.

 

Hugs,

      good evening   good day at work today.  I did do some things a little out of normal but everything was completed successfully.  As I said earlier, the Asst Mgr was my second today.  I don’t think she was too happy about that.  Several customers asked her where Richard was her answer was the manager cut his hours.  Well that is only part of the story,  his hours were cut just like mine were and several others but in his case he made demands about his hours that couldn’t be met.  But instead of making some non complaining remark about it she made sure to lay it all on the manager, thus throwing the manager under the bus.  Similarly when asked why she hadn’t been at work early mornings, she said she was being punished by the manager.  Well that’s partly true, she wouldn’t do what the manager told her to do so she took her off opening.  But secondarily she didn’t have a car to drive temporarily.  You can’t open the store without a car because who ever opens has tasks that require them to leave the store, so it was  at least partly her own fault.  But she chose to throw the manager under the bus for that.  I think she is asking to be fired for insubordination.  And if the manager gets these conversations off the security tape tomorrow she just might get her wish.   im pretty close to being ready to take the asst position but there isn’t anyone ready to take over my job, at least not at our store.  I suppose the other shift lead could if she is able to work earlier shifts and if the other closers were just a bit more reliable.   Ive been wanting some homefried chicken.  We found a BBQ place not far away that had such a chicken but I is made fresh when ordered so it has a 30 minute wait.  It was worth the wait and the other things we tried were also good.  Another restaurant on the list.  At least half of what we ordered came home for another meal.   i get to sleep in tomorrow, I go to work at 1:30!   Willow

      It was nine thirty.  Saturday morning had rolled around more quickly than Taylor could believe.  She groaned, whined, thought of a million excuses why she should just stay in bed and knock the alarm across the room.  But it would still be going on, and so would the promise to Bob: when the gi came in, she would be in. There it was in its nice package, out where she could not miss it.  Why didn't she hide it?  She shook her head.   Up she got.  Sometimes you just do.  Her hair was a wreck. She patted it down and went to the bathroom.  Nine forty five. Shower later. No make up. She hated kara-tay especially at an ungodly early hour on a Saturday morning. Bagel. Instant coffee.  She was five minutes away when she realized she had forgotten the gi.  Back she went.   Into the dojo.  She had about five minutes to get the gi on.  She attempted to slip in unnoticed and go to the little restroom. Someone barked something out in Japanese or something, and there was a dead silence.  She turned to see what was going on. Both classes were getting into their lines, but everyone, including Bob, was bowing slightly. To her. Bob nodded, and she returned the bow.  Life started again. She was touched.   Bowing three times. Oath. Kata.  She was facing off with Judy as her partner.  Judy looked worried.   "Sometimes you just gotta pick yourself up and try again," Taylor told her. She nodded. "Let's do this."   Lunge punch and lower block.  They traded off like nothing had happened the last weekend.  Lunge punch and middle block. Lunge punch and upper block.  It was kind of like dancing. Taylor enjoyed it.  She wanted to learn more.  Brown-belt Maggie adjusted position of limbs and hips for both Taylor and Judy, telling them when she was about to do something: elbow up a bit".    "How'd you do?" Bob asked her later.  They had both gone home and showered. Now they were in a booth at a fast food place.   "I was kind of disappointed class ended. I was ready for more."   "That's my trooper."   "I'm not allowing you in my apartment until we are married," she said suddenly.   "You think I am a problem?"   "No.  I think you are safe. You passed the test  I am the problem here."   "Okay."   "What did the doctor tell you?"   "It's complicated.  More tests coming.  Like getting into college.  I got a letter back.  It seems there is this big fat M on my transcript and my current picture is not an M type picture.  I have to write a letter and send them notarized proofs and stuff. Just delays. This is a pain. Nothing cut and dried."   "I will say.  I'm glad I'm not transgender."   "Hah. You are pulled into my world.  You are involved in this stuff as much as I am, and, as you put it, of your own free will."   "You are worth it."   "I hope so."   "I know so."

      On the way back to her desk she was interrupted by six short, urgent conversations that had to be attended to. Then she slipped into the women's room and locked the stall door.  She took a deep breath, then another, and allowed herself to shake for five minutes,  Then deep breathing, ten in and ten out, stretch up, touch the floor, neck rolls and she was fine. She used the toilet and a woman knocked and said, "Taylor, are you okay?"   "Ready to conquer the world!"  on her way out she found her makeup was fine.  Three stalls, two sinks.  If she ever designed a women's room with three stalls, there would be four sinks, with plenty of space to plunk your stuff down between them.   She met a deferential Karen.  "Here is the branding I came up with," she said.  And she went back to working as hard as Brenda and Mary, who looked up worriedly and then went back to the proposal.   Shortly before 5:00 she received an email with the title Consolidation and Compensation.  In it she learned that the position of office manager was eliminated, and the current office manager was to become the chief executive officer. The former CEO, along with the CFO, the chief legal officer, and sundry staff, had been terminated, per the Board of Directors.  Effective immediately everyone would receive a base salary of $20,000 with a commission to be set by the individual's supervisor.  Each supervisor would be given a certain percentage to distribute.  Most functions they had been handled would be outsourced as needed.   "The question of what profit was made last year is frequent enough to be answered.  The company lost over 500,000 in fiscal 2023.  At this point further cuts are not anticipated.  We will be strategically adding positions that will enhance our profits. Hard work is expected of everyone."   Her two web guys had been complaining because their games had been remotely uninstalled.  After the memo came out they were absolutely silent.  That gave her an idea, and after an exchange of emails they were reassigned to maintenance out at the plant, effective tomorrow morning.  There were lots of weeds that needed pulling, if nothing else. That email went out after they left early, for the day.  The maintenance foreman was a no-nonsense type who did not tolerate slacking, and they would learn a thing or two.  This also freed up two spaces for her to put new people.

      So…I didn’t know your Facebook avatar was public. So, on my birthday, a couple people used a group avatar message to wish me a happy birthday…and now my Facebook friends can see a short video of my female avatar dancing with an old friend’s and another with my uncle’s avatars. So am I “Facebook out” now? 😬

      No, they are not. Truth wins in the end and this report is full of lies that poison the whole thing: see this: "Dr. Cass Backpedals From Review: HRT, Blockers Should Be Made Available it's said. Dr. Cass's latest statements are likely to cast more doubt on the validity of the study, which has come under fire for disregarding substantial evidence on trans care." https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/dr-cass-backpedals-from-review-hrt?publication_id=994764&post_id=143743897&isFreemail=true&r=rebf4&triedRedirect=true I hope Dr. Cass wins The Mengele Award for it.

      Boyfriend and I went to a support group for spouses dating or married to a transgender person on Tuesday night for the first time.It was amazing meeting other couples like us.One was a genetic woman whom has been dating a transgender male for the first time and she is supporting his transition.Us,they were amazed by us agreeing on something we said,love and acceptance have brought us together

      By which I mean there is a cultural stereotype of what a man is, and one of what a woman is.  Even worse, of what a transgender person is.   You be you.   I read of a boy who thought he was a girl because he did not adhere to some (rather toxic) conceptions of what it means to be a man, so he decided he was a girl.  He was told he didn't have to conform to stereotype and got happy. "You mean I don't have to transition?" He didn't want to, and was relieved.   Once upon a time if you were transgender they told you either you transition or die.   Incorporate the best of what it means to be a man and the best of what it means to be a woman as much as you possibly can, and let the rest go.  Be fully human. Be alive. Don't conform to some cultural crud.

      Except for this thung thwister: Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter, in sifting a sieve full of unsifted thistles, thrust three-thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb. Now if, Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter, in sifting a sieve full of of unsifted thistles, thrust three-thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb, how many thistles can'st thou thrust through the thick of thy thumb . . . in sifting a sieve-full of unsifted thistles? Success to the successful thistle sifter!

      You have given you and us a big clue right there.  I hope you have shared this observation with your Endocrinologist and are willing to take their advice about changing that behavior.    Non prescribed herbal or animal supplements can have a negative effect on your body's use of your available hormones.  Also, your genetics are going to be controlling what your body is going to do with your hormones, and again, that is for you to consult with your Endocrinologists.  On this site none of us are licensed medical personnel and we cannot give you advice on your health more than what your doctor can.  We have rules that we enforce against our members advising about "Folk Remedies" because we have had members who have gone that route and badly damaged their health and quality of life.  Only thing I can go anywhere on, is that maybe if you change your expectations of what should happen, you will at least not be in danger of harming yourself from anxiety.

      Hi lovely people,   I'm a 25 yo MtF woman, and I've been suffering from low estrogen issues since October 2023. I completely lost my feminine libido, my breast completely stopped growing, my estrogen levels dropped by a lot (despite NOT decreasing my E dosage) and thus my dysphoria drastically increased. I think it is worth mentioning that, for my health issues, I had been taking ----- Lamotrigine for months & had been on ketogenic diet, and these things seem to be a culprit of my current issue. I weaned off Lamotrigine some time ago and gave up on keto diet, but it still doesn't seem to help. My estrogen is still low (44 ng/ml) and my libido hasn't come back yet. In general, I struggle with my dysphoria so much because of that and, to be honest, I don't know what to do. I've tried so many dietary supplements, yet I didn't get any effects from them. My endocrinologist didn't know how to help me. She only suggested to increase my daily estrogen dose (to 3x per day ------sublingual estrogen tablets and 3x per day ------ estrogen gel applied to armpits or thighs), which I did, without any effect.   Please, help me. Prior to keto diet & Lamotrigine treatment, I'd never had experience like that. I'm basically helpless and have no clue what to do. Having to deal with low estrogen is a horrible experience to me and it affects my life severely.   BTW, my T levels are always within female range.   Do you have any clue what exactly I should do?
