Looks like It may not be this Saturday. My wife informed me today that she and my youngest are going to visit our middle son and his family then.

Well, due to some heavy snow, I did not make it to my first group meeting. Looks like next month will be my first. 
 

Tea is steeping, looking forward to the comforting warmth of a good cup before I head into work. The blanket of snow makes for a very pretty commute in. The roads are clear so it should be a nice drive. 
 

Have a great day folks!

UUUggghh  The roads in VT were not so clear and my commute was terribly long.  I ran out of coffee even!  But I was driving the company car and getting paid so who cares.  LOL

I listened to one of my audiobooks and enjoyed the 10 MPH speeds on our 50MPH roads.  LOL

 

Sorry Sara you had to miss your group.  I am looking forward to being set up in one someday soon.

 

I have my third therapy appointment but was emailing him over the week due to the big news I kept having.  He also told me he feels I need to get back on HRT as soon as possible and even called around to arrange for me to see a trans friendly doctor he knows.  Which I was very excited to read about.

 

I hope everyone has a good day!

Sleepless night again.  Up and on the couch in my sweats and under my heated blanket.  12*F outside and snow still coming down slightly.  Coffee I my hands warming me up.  
No plans for the weekend other then housework and vegging. 
Though this is suppose to be a big “Let’s talk” weekend.  I think my wife will see I will not be tempered and plowed under. 
It should be interesting.

Was busy this morning,storage locker auction.It did go well although two bidders were told to leave.One rule is no getting into the storage locker and looking.They went into twice looking and were booted out being told to leave.Had to auction off 10 of them,people didn't pay their bill.The guy running it said I am a keeper as an auctioneer.One of the bidders that did win,made money off of me.Seen 2 older Dodge signs and I asked them how much for them.agreed on the price of them and bought those 2 Dodge signs off of them.They like me as the auctioneer and knew I deserved them.

Well today is a slow starter for me. I was thoroughly exhausted after work and woke up feeling like I swallowed pool water and blew it out my nose so I’m probably not going to get much done today unless it’s around the house. I suppose I should go get orange juice because I forgot to yesterday. I really need to get some cold weather layers before the temperature dips. Not sure where I should go though because I need a guaranteed buy on a budget. Nothing is really close. So I’m probably going to have to get on a bus or walk some distance. It just seems impossible with what feels like a cold coming. Maybe after I wake up more?

After a hiatus, I'm back.

Coffee finished for the morning, had a great time last weekend, but for whatever reason, this site was blocked from my wifi at the motel.

The Pride Festival was a non-event for me, as I'm not good at staying up late. People were friendly, the art workshop I attended was a lot of fun, got some cobwebs out of my system.

My studio is ready, at long last.

It's going to be a cozy winter making images. That is such a good thing for me, it heals me, my spirit is free to roam and re-imagine itself into the being it wants to be. I'm just going to let her roam and explore until she's happy.

      I have read numerous accounts of trans folk no longer being welcome among evangelicals.   I am here for help and fellowship not to rebuke anyone.  I can take a pretty high degree of insult, etc., and you haven't insulted me, to my recollection anyway :) and I usually let it go.  But I thought I would let it all out there.   I am sure I disagree with you on numerous issues.  I appreciate other people's viewpoints, including those who radically disagree with me.  Intellectual challenge is good. One thing I appreciate about @MaeBe.

      Post 8 “The Ohio Years” We moved to Pittsburgh because of the job with US Airways.  The job involved classroom instruction and simulator training, but no actual flying, so I kept looking for an actual pilot position.  A year after signing on with US Airways I got hired to fly business jets.  The company was located in Cleveland, Ohio, but I was flown commercially from my home in Pittsburgh to where my aircraft was located, making it unnecessary to live near company headquarters.    My flight scheduled consisted of eight days on duty with seven days off.  Having seven days off in a row was great but being gone from home eight days in a row was difficult.  For the first few years the flying was fun, but after a while the eight flying days in a row, were taking their toll on me.  Those days were brutal, consisting of very long hours and a lot of flying time.  Usually, I came home exhausted and need three days just to recover from the work week.  Flying for a living is glamorous until you actually do it.  Quickly, it became just a job.    After five years as a line captain, I became a flight department manager, which required we live near company headquarters.  That meant a move to Cleveland.  Working in the office meant I was home every night but as a manager, the schedule was still challenging.  I would work in the office all week and then be expected to go out and fly the line on weekends.  I referred to it as my “5 on 2 on” schedule, because it felt as though I had no time off at all.   About the same time, we moved to Cleveland, my wife and I became “empty nesters,” with one son in the military and the other away at college.  Sadly, my work schedule didn’t leave much time for Sally.  Add to the fact that while Cleveland is an awesome city, I just never felt comfortable expressing my feminine side.  Most of my outings, and believe me there weren’t enough, occurred while I was on vacation and away from home.   One of the most memorable outings occurred over a long weekend.  I had stumbled across an online notice for a spring formal being held in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, hosted by a local trans group there.  I reached out to Willa to see if she was up for an excellent adventure.  She was, so I picked her up and we drove to Harrisburg together.    The formal was held on Saturday evening and we had the absolute best time.  It turned out that organizers were a group named TransCentralPA.  Everyone was wonderful and I made a lot of new friends that evening.  We learned the spring formal was one of the group’s annual events but for the following year, instead of a spring formal, the group wanted to do a local transgender conference.  That local conference would become the Keystone Conference, and I would attend every year for the next 12.  My move to the west coast was the only reason I stopped attending annually.  I went to the first annual Keystone Conference as an attendee, but in subsequent years I served as a volunteer and as a workshop presenter; more about those in the next installment.   For my Cleveland years, the Keystone Conference would be my major outlet for feminine self-expression.  Yes, I did get out on other occasions, but they were too infrequent.  The managerial job just didn’t allow me the freedom I needed to adequately live my feminine life, and my frustration level was slowly, but steadily on the rise.  It amazed me how adversely not being able to express the feminine half of my personality was affecting my happiness.   However, a major life change was upcoming, and while it would prove to be a significant challenge in many ways, the events would ultimately benefit my female persona.  First, my mom and dad got sick.  They were in and out of the hospital and required personal care.  My wife and I did our best but living in Cleveland, we were too far from them to give them the support they both needed.  Second, I was experiencing serious job burn out.  I decided I need to find another job and I needed to be closer to my parents.    Things changed for the better when I got hired by an aviation training company as a flight simulator instructor.  I would be training business jet pilots.  The training facility was located in New Jersey, which put us much closer to my parents, and the work schedule was much better for quality of life.  Most importantly, this life change would help Sally re-emerge and once again flower.    Hugs,   Sally

      I made a living talking about bulk liquids in cargo tanks transportation as a driver and mechanic. Safe loading/unloading, cleaning and inspecting, as well as emergency response scenarios.   Hazmat and fire behavior in the fire service as well as emergency vehicle operations and safe driving. "It was on fire when they called you. It will be on fire when you get there." Arrive ready to work. I could also talk about firefighter behavioral  heath and the grieving process.   The real fun thing is I can do this for people who are not Truck Drivers or Fire Fighters. Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Citizen Tax payers about Public Safety Education.   I love public speaking,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Got a new Granddaughter this morning.  Mother and child (and father) are doing fine. This makes 7 granddaughters and one grandson.  I have 2 sons and 6 daughters myself.  And then I  switched teams.  I think this stuff runs in the family. Another hard day for the patriarchy.

      Like @MaeBe pointed out, Trump won't do these things personally.  I doubt that he actually gives a rat's a$$ himself.  But he is the foot in the door for the others.   I don't really see this.  Personally, I am all in favor of "traditional" families.  I raised my own kids this way and it can work fine.  But I think we need to allow for other variations as well.   One thing working against this now is how hard it is for a single breadwinner to support a family.  Many people (I know some) would prefer "traditional" if they could actually afford it.  Like I mentioned, we raised our family with this model, but we were always right at the poverty level.   I was a "conservative evangelical" for most of my life, actually.  So I do understand this.  Admittedly, I no longer consider myself one. I have family members still in this camp.  Some tolerate me, one actually rejects me.  I assure you the rejection is on her side, not mine.  But, I understand she believes what she is doing is right - 'sa pity though. I mean no insult toward anyone on this forum.  You're free to disagree with me.  Many people do.   This is a pretty complex one.  Socialism takes many forms, many of which we accept without even realizing it.  "Classism" does exist, for what it's worth.  Always has, probably always will.  But I don't feel like that is a subject for this forum.   As for the election, it's shaping up to be another one of those "hold your nose" deals.

      I was thinking in particular of BLM, who years ago had a 'What We Believe' section that sounded like they were at war with the nuclear family.   I tried to find it. Nope.  Of interest https://www.politifact.com/article/2020/aug/28/ask-politifact-does-black-lives-matter-aim-destroy/   My time is limited and I will try to answer as I can.
