Morning. Coffee. Commute. Work.  Wash, rinse, and repeat.

That's how it is feeling today.

Not a bad day but just "a day".

I hope everyone stays warm in the northern states.  Its cold in VT this morning.

I did that for so long, with an hour or more commute each way. I feel for you!

I just finished coffee. Closing in on completing the last two drawings on my schedule before Christmas, so that feels pretty good. Yes, I work on two or more at once. Seldom more than four at a time though.

It was freezing rain in my section of the Ozarks the past two days. I guess it's headed your way. Be safe!

Staying warm as it snows here in Massachusetts by baking bread, making granola, and letting a veggie soup reduce down on the stovetop for a few hours to intensify flavors. In other words, I'm huddling by the heat source most of the day ?.

 

Tomorrow will be 2 hours of electrolysis followed by applying a new estradiol patch. Looking forward to it!

I ended up having to fire two employees.Got a call from one shop that knows our towing yard very well,said one of our tow truck drivers was rude to a customer of theirs and did call her the B word.I called him in and told him he was fired.2nd time he did this.The 2nd employee,being rude to the customer and never asked where to drop off the vehicle at another shop we know.Said a sexist remark to this customer too and she was glad I took care of it.My husband and I take care of problems the correct way,a slap on the wrist solution saying don't do it again isn't the answer with us.

Well I have just finished breakfast and about to do my hair. It's my art group meeting today so I won't get my usual walk. It was heavy going yesterday as I decided to go over the fields. I had not realised how wet it still is as it was like walking through a swamp in many places. It's back to the back and farm roads later this week I think.

The sun is shinning here after two days of rain and freezing rain.  The trees are sparkling with an ice coating.

 Millions of gems against a blue sky.

Sounds so pretty.

I have had snow the last few days and its a winter wonderland in my yard/area.  Our yard is sounded by enormous pine trees and an old overgrown Xmas tree farm.  The snow on the pines is breath taking at times.  The scent of the trees is wonderful.

 

However winter wonderland's suck to drive in.  LOL

My morning commute that's normally 1.5 hours on a good day took almost 3.  One way.  (sigh)

But I get paid to drive so Meh!  Its all good.  Had coffee and my audio book.  

Have a great day!

Not really your fault. Teenagers aren't designed to get up early. You should be allowed to sleep in to at least 9 or 10 because of what your hormones are doing to your circadian rhythms. It would be lovely if the public school system paid attention to the research and let you all sleep in a little.

 

Hugs!

Yeah, I once woke up an hour and a half late and had to beg my neighbors to take me (I was alone). That was fun...

Unless you are currently throwing up, you are going.

That can be arranged ?

Hi everyone. I’m probably going to have to ditch caffeine again. It’s doing more harm than good lately. I couldn’t even donate plasma again yesterday because my heart rate was too fast. And the cold weather is really throwing a wrench into movement. Not much I can do about it though so it’s whatever.

 

 I’m back to work this evening. Changed to eating a lot of salad for lunch since everything else seems to have a bad reaction. Especially gluten.

 

Last Saturday I almost had a breakdown and I cried for most of the day. I’m pretty sure that it’s a hormonal imbalance but I’m finding it difficult to get to the clinic again. Just hanging on until things get better really. 
 

I’m glad that I made some new friends though because they really are helping me cope. Katrina was very helpful when I was crying on Saturday. I know that they are busy with family and friends but they actually took time to let me vent and go through everything and just listen. 
 

Well, I’d better get ready for work before time gets away from me. Hope everyone has a great day and stays warm!

That was always the rule in our house when I was growing up too.  But you had to be actually sick not just make yourself purge.  LOL 

I tried that once.  Didn't work well for me.

Not supposed to be as cold today. mid 30s. God, I hate the cold. But I chose to live here.

 

Have a good day, everyone.

Hi everyone!

It's chilly here, just below freezing, so I've been sipping coffee bundled up under a blanket. The holidays loom large on the horizon.

My checking into the forum will probably get spotty until the stampede of guests settles back down. Just in case anyone might worry.

I did want to comment on caffeine use as we get older. I used to drink multiple pots of coffee every day with no problems. However as age sets in, it became a problem. So I cut back caffeine intake to two cups of coffee early in the morning, no caffeine after 10:00 am. That has worked quite well for me. But caffeine is added to a lot of over the counter meds and even some foods, so be sure to check labels.

Hope all is well for everyone, or at least gets better!

Hugs,

TA

Oh hell no.  Thick serum shots suck!  LOL  IN the belly?!?!

Why not the butt?  Easier to work out the pain of the thick serum.

 

I am glad you have found an alternative though.  Cheers!

Meh, my Xolair is thick serum with dull needles (the contractor really, really dropped the ball on those). The nurse who injects me is tiny, and lets out these little grunts while she's shoving the needle in. It's painful and adorable all at once.

 

I'm glad I got over my fear of needles. Transitioning would be SO much worse.

 

Hugs!

When I had DVT I had to give myself injections in the stomach fat for about eight days before going on Cumaden, a blood thinner and rat poison for six months. That and dying are a good reason not to self medicate with hormones.

NB I had to do that too, when I had DVT and PEs. When my levels got to high. My belly was black and blue for a month. One reason They don't recommend Estrogen is my DVT and PE history.

 

Called in today, I was just beat I needed to relax. The manager texted me saying I may have to open tomorrow. He gets the task of babysitting while they buff and wax the floor at the store. They say they should be done but 11-11:30. So here's hoping.

Post surgery I had to give myself the belly fat shots twice a day for two weeks. It was either that or develop blood clots, so I managed to get through it. But it wasn't much fun.

We just have to do what we have to do.

I'm about to throw coffee in the pot to start my day.

I finished setting up the ten photofloods that provide light for my painting studio, so when the herd leaves after the holidays I can get some painting done!

Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Rain here yet again. I hope to get some painting done this afternoon but I could sure use some photofloods at the moment TammyAnne. It was my art group Christmas meal last evening and I had difficulty putting on my make up correctly :(

      Had a weird dream last night.

      Morning, y'all. Evening here; we had the regulation three mugs full today. Now it's time to drink something else.     No big plans here either, eldest daughter and granddaughter will be arriving on Saturday, and we will have our granddaughter to ourselves for a week after that. We still have plans though. Tuesday we'll go to the swim center, Wednesday we'll take a road trip to visit my mom, Thursday we'll get some mulch delivered to top up the gardens.   I still make other small plans on a daily basis though. The things I do plan nowadays, which is a bit new for me, is that after pinching a nerve and ending up in a bit of pain and getting some treatment from the physio, I am more motivated than ever to exercise more regularly. Tuesday for example, I went for a short (15 minute) early morning walk, went to the pool for some hydrotherapy, and mowed the lawns. Yesterday I did my exercise reps and spent some time on the exercise bike. Today, I went for a 45-minute walk, tomorrow I will do my reps again and go for a long bike ride. As long as I do at least one thing every day, right? The pleasing thing is that I'm losing weight! I blew out to above 95kg early in the year and I'm just under 91kg now. Yay me!

      What one piece of advice would you give to beginning transitioners or considering transition?

      Positive side of the mixed bag.

      Boredom is an emotional state that comes when a person has nothing to do, and is not interested in anything. To stop boredom, most people do something to occupy or amuse themselves. The first known use of the word boredom is in the novel Bleak House by Charles Dickens, written in 1852, but the saying to be a bore had been used to mean "to be tiresome or dull" since 1768. When referring to the mind, boredom is a bad state in which the person feels a deep lack of interest in what is going on around them, and where it is hard to focus.

      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!!
