Hi

 

I was having trouble with my iPad getting to this site last week but not my computer.  But I did find that although typing the address wasn’t working searching the site would get a link that did work.  Then I noticed that it needed httpS://www.  Instead of just http://

 

now whether that was the fault of Apple or a change for the website I don’t know but all is good now for me.

Yay! Got my coffee, waiting on the bus for the kids then work. And thanks to Willows tip I’m on the boards in the morning! Hope everyone has a fabulous day.

Good morning! Slept poorly with the weirdest dreams last night. When I say weird, believe me they fall off the end of the strange scale! Got coffee, trying to get myself organized. Have a computer to nurse into functionality today. Oh joy.

I wish everyone a wonderful day.

I had late start as I had to go get a massive amount of blood drawn.  

I swear they took half of it.  Then drove an hour to work.  I had to fast from yesterday noon so I am famished but coffee first.  LOL

I hope everyone has a great day!  Mine feels like it has not even started yet and I am way behind.

Good morning 

 

beautiful blue sky and sunshine today.  For the older crowd, no lollipops.

 

drinking my morning joe.

 

going to try to get to water aerobics today.    No longer restricted but I have to be careful what I do while the bones finish healing.  Water increases the resistance while reducing the impact.  Doctor said that would be a good way to go.  I’m afraid yoga is out forever.

I don't know about the website but I generally use 'https'. That is a better thing to use as it is more secure than 'http'.

Morning all, today seems to be a good day. 

 

Got my blood drawn to make sure my medicine is not jacking me up inside, hopefully it's not because it is really working. I had to fast for it and it was really tempting to lick to peanut butter off the knife as I was making my lunch, but somehow I managed to not haha.

Running late today. I was talking to Rey about her grand kids, then to Chloe about my surgery and it put my workout back about forty-five minutes. Time well spent in my opinion. I still got to my allergist in time for my shot. I probably should have eaten something before I left the house though; I was a little wonky when I stepped back through the door.

 

Wolfed down breakfast (I don't think I tasted it) and found my test results from yesterday are mostly done. They still need to finish the mercer culture. I spent all day yesterday getting that taken care of. The good news being that all my values are within normal tolerances. REALLY should have eaten more yesterday, they took a good five vials of blood out of me. I basically ATTACKED a Jimmy John's sub around 3:30 (I don't think I tasted that either) then skipped dinner because I'd just murdered a sub.

 

Today, I've just got my writing project and maybe some more food on the agenda. I've got some peach yogurt with my name on it and some pears that need to be eaten. It's a good day though. It'll be better when Jen tells me that she got my check and I'm good to go for surgery.

 

Hugs!

Hi Willow,

Sorry I missed it, but what happened to your bones?  Did you break something?

Hi. @lauraincolumbia I had surgery to fuse a joint in my big toe 6 weeks ago.  I had two large bone spurs, other arthritis and the joint was rubbing bone on bone. Walking had been painful prior to the surgery.  Now it feels great, but won’t be fully healed for another month.  I am released to wear a shoe at least.  
 

water aerobics went well.

 

@TammyAnne yes I left out the rainbows but that’s because there weren’t any. Now I’ve had that song lyric stuck in my head all day.

Holy Moly the roads in Vermont are crappy this morning.  3.5 hours to drive a 1.5 hour commute.  Ran out of audio books and coffee!

Sigh

I hope everyone else is having a safe and warm day.

Cold, snow and slippery roads.  That’s why I moved south, just like the birds.

 

no coffee yet, but it’s coming.

Debra, Congrats on a successful surgery. 

 

Shawna, Glad you made it through the commute especially with running out of coffee. Be safe going home.

 

Glad I don't have to do the long commute anymore.

 

Have a great day all.

      I'm very glad that everything worked out even better than you thought. It's a tough spot to be in and I know the exact feelings. I'm still waiting to apply for divorce under abandonment so I officially can meet someone who one day I can call someone my prince or my queen. Although the desire for someone is fading because of everything. it's even more amazing that she was your high school sweetheart! Looking forward to the next entry.

      Awww thanks for listening everyone. I have another 5-6 songs in this style that I started recording at the same time, so hopefully I’ll finish the next release soon.   Yes, exactly. Everything was easier about this project, mainly because it felt authentic. The energy was very different, because it was such a pleasure to express myself without a filter. I laughed a lot.

      Thanks for listening @Mmindy.   You’re welcome @April Marie. I think Sally Can’t Dance is an underrated album.

      Well I had an interview with the local Ford Dealership for an opening in the parts dept. It sounded positive. I was told I would here by tomorrow morning.    Other than that just sticking around the house. I haven't done much, the weather is cold and yucky. Doesn't look like good weather till Sunday. Maybe tomorrow I'll fire up the heater in the garage and see about getting the other brake hose put on the Explorer.   Have a good rest of your day/evening.   Hugs, Kymmie

      Maybe they called me he/him at the dealership because I completely forgot my mascara! Eyeliner without mascara…a bold new trend among the helplessly lost! :)   Fixed that!

      Ah. Email from Gibson. [it was actually less legible than this, as he didn't use punctuation, it was all caps, and he ran all his words together. Taylor was used to it.   T - As everyone was under my super. this last year, don't worry about the evals. I will handle it. Send all email about new proposals to me, your unit handles work under way.  You will be involved but the first step is those go to me. Thanks   Here is an outline of what questions I want to see answered tomorrow.  Feel free to just jot down your thoughts.  If you don't know, say so and maybe point to how we can find that out............   Your new position will seem very challenging for a while but I am sure you can handle it.  Everyone has the utmost confidence in you.   PS your performance evaluation will be stellar, as reflected in your new position and compensation.  You get 100. One less thing to worry about.   Taylor sent him 45 emails right after that, gave some thought to the questions, and then had to turn to one of the proposals under way and review it.  That done, she read through the personnel files on her people so she would better understand them and what they could do. There was a very thin folder with her name on it.  It had one piece of paper on it. On it was written "the best!".  The others were thicker but didn't take long either, and she returned to answering the questions.

      Post 5 “Coming out to My Significant Other”   My wife and I were high school sweethearts and after 40 plus years of marriage we are still soulmates.  Yes, I consider myself lucky, but we also worked hard to stay sweethearts, and my transgender nature was one of the things that required a lot of hard work to reconcile.    Back when I realized she was the girl I was going to marry, I was still struggling with gender identity, and up to that point I had kept this guarded secret from her.  I wondered how I was going to tell her, and I pondered the timing.  I had already decided she needed to know before I would feel comfortable asking her to marry me.  I was absolutely terrified that when she learned about my gender identity issues, it would scare her off.  Despite my deep concern, I just knew in my heart, I couldn’t keep the truth from her.   In my case, I never thought a relationship with a girl, or marriage to a girl would somehow cure my gender dysphoria.  In fact, the blossoming of our relationship didn’t mute or minimize my gender confusion one bit, so my desire to keep dressing like a girl remained strong.  I actually considered not telling her at all, but I already knew this wasn’t a passing phase, so kicking the proverbial can down the road didn’t make sense to me.    Since I was committed to revealing my secret, I pondered how to initiate the conversation?  Obviously, I would tell her that I enjoyed dressing and looking like a girl, so part of the conversation would be about crossdressing.  The fact that I cross-dressed was the easier part of the conversation and it would make clear to her what I was doing, but the harder part would be explaining why; because, at that time in my life, I had no idea why I was feeling like I was a girl.  Still, I felt a partial explanation was better than none at all and if she could accept the crossdressing part initially, maybe she and I could explore the deeper meaning, together.    Telling my fiancé I was a crossdresser seemed the simplest explanation at the time.  All that remained was the timing and this is when a situation arose that I hoped would be the perfect setup for my big reveal.  She and I were going to a friend’s party, and on the weekend it was to take place, my fiancé’s parents were out of town.  I casually mentioned that I thought it would be a “goof” to show up at the party dressed like a girl.  Much to my joy and surprise, she thought it was a super idea.  In fact, her enthusiasm for the idea was more than I could have hoped for.  With her parents out of town, we had her house to use for my transformation.    At the time, I had my own stash of girl’s clothing, but admitting to this would have revealed too much.  Besides, she had already started planning my wardrobe for me and I was certain her efforts would be much better than anything my feeble stash might result in.  I couldn’t have been more correct and after she dressed me and did my makeup, I looked more like a girl than I ever had before.  In fact, my new appearance was so striking, I could barely contain my joy.  Of course, this was supposed to be a “goof” so, I did my level best to hide the excitement I was feeling inside.  While I was elated being dressed and out in public, I was absolutely terrified at the same time.  Consequently, showing up at the party was a lot more difficult for me than I had imagined.  Ultimately, everyone got a big kick out of me, and that did help to relax me a little.  However, I had vowed to come clean to my fiancé at some point during the evening, so I remained uncomfortably anxious.   Later, and after a few drinks, I had mustered up the courage to reveal my secret to my future wife.  I pulled her aside and had her follow me to a quiet room upstairs.  Alone together, I began trying to explain my feelings, which as I recall revolved mostly around my desire to dress like a girl.  I did tell her my feelings were more complex, but I think she latched onto the fact that I was a guy who enjoyed looking like a girl on occasion.  I was extremely emotional as we talked, but she comforted me and told me it didn’t change her feelings for me.   I have to say having that conversation with my fiancé that night was the best decision I ever made.  It ensured we would face the future together without secrets or deceit. I know it strengthened our relationship. Of course, my wife really didn’t have any idea what she was signing up for when she agreed to support my transgender nature.  It would be like riding a roller coaster, lots of ups and quite a few downs, but the fact that she knew about me before we got married, made the ride a lot smoother than it could have been.   Hugs,   Sally
