@Ellora @SaraAW the hyaluronic acid works by preventing water from evaporating from the skin so it’s hydrating quality is second to none. It’s supposed to remove wrinkles and other blemishes. I have not had any adverse reaction to it. Upon further research I also found out that it can also repair gums which is great news for my teeth. It doesn’t squirt out a lot so I’m sure I can afford to put a small amount on my gums and repair the damage from smoking for so many years before I quit. 

 

Today i I got a job offer in Michigan to start working on IT contracts as soon as I can get out there. I’m a bit apprehensive because of my recent past but it seems very legitimate and I do have some solid proof that it’s real. Crossing my fingers that I can get everything in order soon and begin a new chapter of my life. Just the fact that I can work a more flexible schedule and be able to schedule with doctors and afford trans related surgery is almost making me cry. But I promise not to until I find out for sure.

Good morning!

A beautiful sunny day outside, inside I'm back in the studio painting away. Had a good, solid day yesterday - made a complete painting in the morning, then another in the afternoon. Hope to be as productive today too.

Everyone have a wonderful day!

We  just returned from a three day weekend in the Mid-coast Maine area (Rockland, Camden, etc) with our oldest and closest friends.  We had a wonderful time and the weather was very cooperative at high 70's to low 80's.  A great end of summer wind down trip.

@Jani - That sounds like a great time Jani, your weather out there sounds lovely. Here it's been raining all day, and 61f now as I type this, but the coffee tastes great, just sipping and getting caught up reading here.

It just started raining here finally. It’s been teasing rain for over a week and I’m ready for the fall to finally set in. Bring on the fall leaves and chilly weather. I’ time for hoodies and sweaters already.

We are in a bit of a drought here which is almost a relief after years of way above normal rainfall.  Unfortunately the temps have gone back up to the 90's.  Despite leaves beginning to fall it doesn't feel like the first day of fall!.  

I've still got to get more hay in the barn.  It's almost time to work on the tubing for the spring syrup season.  The bucks and doe goats are getting together to produce another years batch of kids.  Busy times here but i still like this.

 

Hugs,

Yes! I do love nice weather, but not when it’s too hot! We have been having cooler weather here, and hints of rain, but nothing substantial yet. Rain would be nice tho.

@Ellora That's good news for you.  I am jealous.  Can't wait until I can make the same claim.

You were not too far from me. I'm over in Washington County, near the Canadian border.

The coast is lovely this time of year, the fall colors sprouting on trees all over the place. I swear I could see a maple tree turn colors over the course of the day!

Well even though it was a little chilly this morning the day turned out beautiful.

 

Yesterday, we drove about 130 miles for dinner. With our middle son and family. including one on the way. Looks like I will not have any problems when I come out the them. At dinner. My daughter in law noticed my painted finger nails and told my grandson. Then she said to my son "we may have any problems with gender diversity." My son pointed to both me then my wife. "We will have no problems with them."

 

Not really sure what they are talking about. but at least I will have no problems with them.

@TammyAnne Yes I see you are a little further north than we were the other day.  It certainly is beautiful country and the leaves are a wonderful sight.  The color is just enough ahead of where I am.  I commented at breakfast on Sunday that we saw license plates from all over the country and it's no surprise!  My friends have lived in Maine for 40 years and travel the state regularly.  I'm the only native Mainer of the four of us.  Who knows we may move back across the border at some point.

THe temperatures have been wavering, and next week it may be cooler, but we haven’t hit the Fall feeling yet. Trees have been changing color for about a month now, and that hasn’t been the same in a while. The weather has been wacky for the past 5-10 yrs and the trees have been confused as heck. At times we have had trees in fall colors, winter mode, and blooming all in January. Who knows what will happen in the next 6 months.

Well things have hit here now. Wet and miserable weather but not too cold yet. Autumn has come though and the trees are changing. I am now picking the apples for store as I get chance.

 

It is interesting how the weather changes these days Ellora. I have seen it predicted that we will have the worst winter for many years but that is said every year ?

 

We will get what comes :D

Its still pretty much summer in the mid-Atlantic.   At least its not overly humid.  The bigger problem is the drought is becoming severe.

Link to comment

One of those grey, foggy mornings that this part of Maine's coast is known for.

But of a warm spell though, it's almost 60° here this morning.

It's felt like fall for a while here - the sounds of leaves rustling in the wind, smells and a cool tinge to the breeze, birds and wildlife in feeding overdrive. But the tree across the road here has gone from green to yellow to orange in just four or five days! The blueberry barrens have turned to red and orange and gold and maroon.

It's going to be a lovely fall. Then I have to go back to my studio in Arkansas and try not to melt!

Good morning all!

So I woke up at 5:40 am this morning which is earlier than normal but I felt rested so got up. Went downstairs carefully so as not to wake everyone else up and made myself a coffee. The weathers has been nice the past few days here in Raleigh, NC. Cooler than normal and not as humid. I remembered my thoughts as I drifted off last night - thinking how I can get more tanned. How can I make my legs look better. So I searched for bikini's - end of summer sale you know. Now I neither have the body nor the opportunity to go sun bathing n a bikini, but for some reason that didn't stop me. The images of women with beautiful bodies and my yearning to be like them I guess.

 

At 7am , when the time seemed more reasonable, I went backup stairs to start my morning shower routine which I've come to look forward too. These days I spend longer in the shower than I ever did in man mode. I use shampoo AND conditioner! Not one of those all in one thingys I used to use. while I wait for the conditioner to do its thing I slowly and carefully shave my legs. I love doing this. It's been about two months now since I started shaving my legs. Everyday. It hasn't gotten old at all, I love the ways my legs look glistening from the shower spray and how smooth they are. I don't think that will ever get old. I've noticed, for some strange reason, my knees get  "stubbly" (for want of a better word) before any other part of my legs. So I spend a little time longer shaving there. I love  how smooth they feel in the day.

 

After the shower, I shave my face (which is a chore). These days even invisible stubble really irritates me. To think I used to shave ever other day - how gross. Then comes my second favorite treat - moisturizing. I've very liberal with it all over - and I really love the feeling. I used to hate it, again in man mode  - the greasy, slimy feeling. OMG how wrong I had been.  These days there is nothing me more luxurious. I top it all of with a very feminine body spay, which I really like. 

 

I still dress in man mode (sad face here), but at least I'm wearing beautiful women's panties.  I've been thinking about how I can move further along the transition path (hence the tanned legs etc.) and have been looking at bra's a might be able to wear under male clothing. Unfortunately I need to lose weight. My bra band size is 46 and all those bra's come with huge DD cups - which em, are hard to hide.

 

I'm getting there (slowly). Hope you all have a wonderful morning.

 

Hugs all around

Well today we managed to get a more reasonable forecast of 70's after last night's .07" of rain.  The drought continues!  I was hoping for a good storm but only a bit of a sprinkle and nothing forecast for 10 days at the least.  

Anyway it' beautiful!  I'll be siding the gable end of a shed getting it ready to be an outpost for young goats to winter in.

Enjoy your day!

 

Hugs,

Yes, there will be reasonable weather today.  Not like the high 80s we had yesterday.  I'll be working outside as well.

      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.
    • Heather Shay
      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.
