What does this entail Debra?  Is it somewhere local?  Will it be a one time occurrence?

Happy early Birthday, Debra. Another Sagittarius. Glad your father is doing good. 

 

Had my appointment with my GYN. Everything is looking good. Being I am maxed out on my spirono. SHe is going to switch me over to a different med. Shots once a month. d something can't remember. It supposed to shut down T production. While I am advised that Estrogen wouldn't be good for me. With unprovoked blood clots.

Happy birthday Debra!

I'm on my 3rd sip of coffee (maybe it's more like a slurp).

With the holidays and family looming, I'm feeling very uneasy. Wish I were in a better place, I'm certainly feeling less settled in life than i expected to be by this age.

But I guess managing expectations is what it's all about.

But I don't know whether to expect the best or the worst.

OMG I was so drag arse this morning.  No work out for me and decided to just leave earlier for work hoping for an early day home. 

Nope.

I walked into a crap storm of brand new medical equipment (Cardiographs) to unpack, put together and test.  All in all about 9 hours of work.  (Sigh)

I'm having some soup now for lunch.  Coffee was hot though.

Hope everyone has a better day then me.  LOL

Morning all. I slept like a baby last night, because I walked up and down the stairs for 30 minutes straight for my gym class. Then I spent 15 minutes doing flexibility exercises. I was exhausted but I slept well and feel refreshed.

 

Step mom and brother leave today so I will be stuck with my dad over the weekend, I also planned to have a conversation with him about me being trans since it would just be us. I hope that goes well.

 

Hope you are having an amazing day!

Hi everyone! I had my coffee today. Finally paid rent today and it really feels good to get it taken care of. I’m in my second week at my new job. It’s not easy all the time but it’s definitely not as stressful as anything else I’ve tried in the last year so I’m hopeful. I’m going to ask about a transfer to a new department opening up for customer support because it might actually be a better fit for me. If they won’t allow it then it’s ok, but it doesn’t hurt to ask. 
 

I also realized that one of my cards was still attempting to charge for amazon prime so I canceled it and now it’s going to save me money. I wish I had done that earlier. Oh well. At least it’s taken care of now.

 

One more day of work and then I get a day off. I’m debating on whether to go donate at another plasma bank on Saturday because they just reduced the compensation at the one I’ve been going to so it’s not really worth the time. I’m a little surprised that they allow transgender people to donate. I assumed that the screening questions prohibited it but apparently it doesn’t unless you are taking finasteride. I’m glad that they actually don’t prohibit it. I’ve been depending on it to supplement my income until things get better.

Hi, I've had some simple things make me emotional recently but didn't think much about it.  Then it came to me, its a symptom that the spiro I'm taking is beginning to have an affect and change, just like it is supposed to.  That realization makes me happy.  I have also begun my Progesterone this week so perhaps things will begin to happen more quickly.

 

Wife and I had some pretty good discussions about things this week so life is looking up right now.  I hope you all have some good news as well.

This sounds all so good!   I’m sorry you were having some issues though.  I too have been experiencing d sad one effects lately.  Just so sensitive to everything now.  Lol

Isn't sensitivity a girl trait anyway? I know that like everything it can go too far. I have had mood swings for years. I finally realized that hey dummy, you are a girl.

 

Willow, sounds like everything is looking up for you. I just wish I could take progesterone but with my history with blood clots the Dr.doesn't want to push it.

True.  I have always had “tender feelings” my parents would say.  Cry easy during movies and tv shows. Lol

I have felt things getting extremely difficult to not cry over lately.  Simple things that should maybe frustrate me can cause the tears to flow now.  This can be an issue at work as you can imagine still presenting male.   
But I agree.  It’s something that’s always been there.

So still snug in my bed.  Warm.  Sleepy but not able to sleep anymore.  My wife sets the thermostat at 56 at night so getting out of bed is like jumping in an icy lake!   
Im going to wait for her to get up and turn it up.  Lol

No coffee yet...,,

I am in the same boat mostly presenting as male. I do however wear female cloths, so that helps some. 

 

Well up early again. My normal weekend opening. Luckily I can sleep in some on Sunday with us opening the store at 9 vs. 7:30. Waiting on the coffee pot to finish. Cold today but the white stuff has stopped.

Still have a cold ?. It's been over a week now. But I did get a lot of sleep last night so maybe it will leave soon. Not sure if I'll have coffee this morning but if I do I will be thinking of all of you!

This is so exciting. I look forward to this one day.  Congrats!!!

 

My morning coffee commute was terrible!  I forgot to add sweetener and I can not stand bitter coffee.  Though you don't know this until that first swig.  Gross!

Even tough I had added creamer it was still terrible.  I had to wait until I go to work and grab some sweetener from the cafe.  Auuugghhh.

I hope everyone has a great day.  For a Monday.

Ugh I kind of feel like Garfield this morning. “I hate Monday’s “ lol. Trying to kick the soda habit  this week, gotta start losing weight. Hope everyone has a great day

Sugar free @JustineM. I dropped sugar. Then I dropped caffeine. I can still have soda, just not the stuff with all the unhealthy garbage in it. My soda has completely different unhealthy garbage in it.

Though I'm developing a real taste for Sparkling Ice. It comes in all sorts of flavors and donates to fight breast cancer. It's also reasonably healthy and infused with vitamins. Most the time though, it's just caffeine free diet Pepsi. I apparently have to have my cola.

 

Sorry about the morning commute @ShawnaLeigh. I don't do much commuting. I spent 6am to about 9:30am in the gym. That covers most of rush hour. Then I went to the chiropractor to get my back and neck adjusted. Probably because I'd been in the gym for three and a half hours. You'd think I'd be less fat.

 

I ran errands after that. Most of them went pretty well, but I'd forgotten that the bakery is closed on Monday so I wasted a trip into Northville. I'll have to make another run tomorrow. Short ... well, shorter ... gym day tomorrow though so I can probably get that taken care of early.

 

Then just creative projects for the rest of the day. I've got the gimpy cat in my lap for some "no cone" time without him tearing at his stitches. My cat is yowling under the door for my attention. He is NOT amused. I just realized that it's after 1pm. I should have lunch.

 

Hugs!

I dropped caffeine years ago.  Well, I suppose that’s not entirely true because I drank ice tea .  At home I would make decaf tea but you can’t get that out.  

 

I’ve now found out that tea causes me to get kidney stones,  so no more tea.  High fructose corn syrup is another culprit.  So mostly I drink plan old water.  Good news I’ve lost 30 pounds.

      So, yesterday's epiphany was that girl jeans fit me much nicer than boy jeans. Well, duh! So this girl is switching over to wearing girl jeans pretty much full time. I'll keep my others for work jeans. We went out to dinner last evening and I was in androgynous mode...wearing a pair of Bandolino Amy straight leg denim pants. Score!

      Good morning, everyone!! The coffee upload has started for me but just in the early stages so I'm barely coherent at this point.   You've been missed @Willow - I hope all is going well with your wife and at work.   @awkward-yet-sweet We love to make beans with rice - one of our favorite meals.   No big plans for me today. Small projects around our place and probably some reading. We're going to have some rain off and on, and the temps are still too low for a lot of outdoor work.   Be safe and enjoy this beautiful day we've been given!!

      Hi   boy you back to work and miss lots.  No time to catch up right now. But I will.   just wanted to let everyone know I’m still here.   willow

      Thanks, @VickySGVfor some truth. Hatred may speak loudly in a political agenda, but there is always love, there is always love.

      Doesn't this belong over in the Humor Topic??  Grim humor I admit, but it has the dark humor picture of the folks protesting the Sacramento Sanctuary Laws.  If the world is going to end next week why are these people so concerned about someone staying fertile and able to have children??   Crazy.
    • VickySGV
      Once again the opposition is telling scary, unfounded  baloney about what IS being done to any Trans Person.  The truth about the very little and very cautious treatments just will not sink into them because it will sink them.  They bully their own Cis children unmercifully to fit into their molds, and that is gruesome in itself. I am happy to say I know that Trans children and all Trans folks in the area have access to wonderful care based on what some of my former State colleagues who have Trans family members and fellow employees there in Sacramento keep telling me about.

      good for you dear. my guess is soreness is good sign things are going on there. water them n hope. smiles   actually was speaking to someone other day n they said the growth leveled off after a few years  which coincided with a few years of very high stress..n then when the high stress resolved, she grew another cup size..
    • missyjo
      darling I completely agree. but it will need road testing I'd think.    and I recently asked a surgeon about an idea I had for easier recovery...do a zero depth 1st..recover then add a canal..he said NO. this surgery is hard enough on body to recover, do not do it any more than needed. also said penile inversion usually is sufficient n includes a few centimeters of perineum tissue anyway..so keep the perineum pull through as a reserve technique in case there is a problem with theb penile inversion.    hugs to any who want them

      I can't tell from the article if being trans was part of the motivation for the crime, or whether it was simply incidental to it. Clearly at least one of the perpetrators was known to the victim, which seems to continue the pattern that the most dangerous people for us are often people we know.  😒
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Beans, beans, the musical fruit...   But beans and rice make a complete protein, and a pretty cheap base for any sort of meal. Since two of my partners are Hispanic and one is Asian, we use a lot of rice. Plenty of beans too, although 90% of the time they are on the form of black-eyed peas. That crop grows really well in the South no matter how hot and dry it gets.  And the Native American trio of corn, beans, and squash is a classic.  Actually, those ingredients tend to show clearly whether kids were raised with a healthy diet or not. Kids raised eating those foods luke them. Kids raised without experiencing those foods tend to reject them immediately. Rather strange.

      I feel a little better about going outside. I got my EpiPen just in case of an emergency. Today was rough started euphoric and then depression hit real hard and I don't even know what it was about. It just happened. I want to see a bright future but it turns dim because of something. I was disappointed on how much supplemental insurance was more than regular health insurance. I enjoy seeing other successful people making it as a couple through everything in fact I cheer them on but it just makes me think if I will find anyone. I barely dated anyone when I was physically fit male and then it seems the older I get it gets harder. Not to mention everyone down here leaves as soon as they find out I'm trans. It's only going to get more difficult because of borderline personality disorder. It's dang near seems impossible that people would even put up with that. After all that I'm still trying to be positive and hope for the best but I always expect the worst and that has always been the case. Pushing 40 and I haven't even experienced true love.
