Good Morning. So I barely slept last night. Instead I read books. And I'm back at school. Which really doesn't make me that happy. But it's better than being at home so that's a benefit.

My positive wave of euphoria just keeps going.  I had an amazing weekend and the final tally was 5 friends and my two children all being super supportive and accepting.

I also hit "send" to the Director to our division I work for.  I have been waiting for an email reply all morning chewing my nails.

He called me with a few minutes ago the had same extremely supportive attitude and he is very driven to make sure we inform everyone at my comfort level and then he wants to set up meetings with my hospitals to do the same.   With me!  I am blown away.  The Director!  That's like 3 levels above my supervisor.

Though I do feel very special I shouldn't be all that surprised as I knew him from high school.  LOL

So although my Monday is beating me up at maximum work overload my mood is still riding Cloud 9.

Hope everyone has a good day!

Fantastic news Shawna! I'm glad (almost) everybody in your life is being supportive! This is hard enough to do without people you care about coming down on you.

 

All I did today was three and a half-hours in the gym, chiropractor and a trip to the pharmacy to tell them that I don't need my Estridiol renewed right now because I can't have any for five more weeks. I'm thinking about lunch, then I'm going to write until it's time to talk to my therapist.

 

Nothing to see here. Move along.

 

Hugs!

Just got back from my recert for my c-pap machine at VA. Went in all girl mode, Sweater dress, leggings, purse. This was my first time in girl mode in the primary doctor waiting area. (meaning a lot of people. I did get some looks but I just did my thing and waited to be called. No worries. 

 

I was able to get out and home  and changed before my youngest got home from work. He would surely blab to my wife.

Good morning 

 

I just made coffee.  It rained again last night signaling the impending cold front.  We’ve had 70s for the last few days, but that’s done for a while. 
 

My wife and I have been doing water aerobics a couple times a week.  It’s helping here knee loosen up finally and it’s good for me too.

 

enjoy your day.

Good Morning, on my 2nd cup already, the snow turned to rain overnight, the air is cool and moist now. My skin can feel the difference. This time of year, I use way more moisturizer, love this lavender hand creme 

 

Have a nice day

The mix of snow and rain is ending here but my electrology appointment was moved since she had a number of cancellations and called it a day.  I'm at the point its just touch up anyway.  Soon I'll go out and fill the bird feeders with seed as they look empty.

Oh yea another crap-tacular commute this AM. Big snow storm here in our area.  Again....

I lived.

Not much death and destruction happens at 10mph.  LOL

I had coffee and my audio book so I was slow and easy.

But I got to tell you I am getting tired of white knuckle driving conditions.  I'm not worried about myself as much as I am the idiots who have 4WD and think they can do interstate speeds on back roads. .

I agree, and I'll add those that think "All Season" tires are the answer for New England weather.  We've run Nokian Hakkapeliitta winter tires from Finland for many years.  Love them.

I have 4 wheel drive and all season radials and make sure to go slower in bad weather like this. Sure I can get going better but ice is ice and still slippery no matter what. On the flip side I hurt my back a couple weeks ago on New Year’s Eve and it has been hurting since. Coffee is on and I’m relaxing before work.

I do remember having to be out in all weathers with work. One issue I found with these people who drive 4WD cars is that when going through floodwater slow but determined it was infuriating to have a 4WD come the other way without slowing down and potentially flooding my engine with their bow wave.

 

As Rachel said - Ice is ice. I remember years ago deliberately travelling on the empty snowcovered path (sidewalk) (technically illegal but safer) at the side of a country road which was covered with black ice on a trials bike. Even with one of those ice is still tricky but a layer of snow, if not too thick,  is no problem.

 

Latter days in the car it is more of thinking what silly things others would do. It is a little un-nerving to travel down a back road covered in snow though and see a trail of cars in the hedge bottom, wondering if you are next.

Good morning everyone. A belated Happy New Year to you all. I’m back from a bit of an absence. Was dealing with a bit of stuff in my life and had shut myself out of pretty much everything  for awhile. After a friend reached out and some good chats with my therapist, I’m feeling much better. Started hormones 3 days ago, yay!  Also have had some good conversation with my wife, I think I’ve got my feet back underneath me and keep stepping forward again. So it’s Friday now, looking forward to my morning tea shortly and the end of the work week for me later this evening. 
 

Have a great day! Stay safe for those of you having to go out in bad weather.

      As has been said many times, this is not a black and white issue. Sure.  I get it that a MtF person that has gone through full male puberty and "transitioned" 6 months ago probably has an advantage in some sports.  But these bans affect elementary school kids too. I mean, banning trans women from Darts?  Chess?

      Worry refers to the thoughts, images, emotions, and actions of a negative nature in a repetitive, uncontrollable manner that results from a proactive cognitive risk analysis made to avoid or solve anticipated potential threats and their potential consequences.

      Good morning    Now @Abigail Genevieve and @Mmindy what makes you so certain I didn’t mean it to say bee itch certificate?  lol. Thanks Mindy. I was asleep when you saw this and fixed it, and yes Abigail, as a moderator I could have fixed it myself, or weren’t you pointing out the irony of that?   I use Alexis as my alarm to get up.  And I set the ringer to be two guys telling me to get up.  I was so sound asleep when they started telling me to get up that it scared me and my first thought were I had over slept.  Since I have a difficult time getting to sleep as early as I have to in order to get enough sleep I at least cut back my normal awake time to get ready.  But now I have to do my hair and get going.   enjoyed my coffee and a little time catching up   see you all later, for its hi ho hi ho it’s off to work I go.   Willow

      Republicans have long committed grave errors by emphasizing their social agenda and moral issues instead of just focusing on the economy, lowering taxes, keeping the public safe, building a strong national defense, promoting business, touting reasonable immigration policies, etc.   The country would thrive economically under Trump's tax and business policies. That's a fact. Another four years of Biden will run this country into the ground financially (including all of our 401Ks and IRAs). But the GOP continues to play right into the Dems' hands by leading with their moral crusades instead of staying the course and trusting their fiscal policies to win the day...

      Thanks.  I will look those up in the document, hopefully tomorrow.   I always look at the source on stuff like this, not what someone, particularly those adversarial, have to say.

      LGBTQ rights Project 2025 takes extreme positions against LGBTQ rights, seeking to eliminate federal protections for queer people and pursue research into conversion therapies in order to encourage gender and sexuality conformity. The policy book also lays out plans to criminalize being transgender and prohibit federal programs from supporting queer people through various policies. The project partnered with anti-LGBTQ groups the Family Policy Alliance, the Center for Family and Human Rights, and the Family Research Council. Project 2025 calls for the next secretary of Health and Human Services to “immediately put an end to the department’s foray into woke transgender activism,” which includes removing terms related to gender and sexual identity from “every federal rule, agency regulation, contract, grant, regulation, and piece of legislation that exists.” The Trump administration proposed a similar idea in 2018 that would have resulted in trans people losing protections under anti-discrimination laws. [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; The New Republic, 2/8/24] Similarly, the policy book calls for HHS to stop all research related to gender identity unless the purpose is conformity to one's sex assigned at birth. The New Republic explains: “That is, research on gender-nonconforming children and teenagers should be funded by the government, but only for the purpose of studying what will make them conform, such as denying them gender-affirming care and instead trying to change their identities through ‘counseling,’ which is a form of conversion therapy.” [The New Republic, 2/8/24] The policy book’s foreword by Kevin Roberts describes “the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children” as “pornography” that “should be outlawed,” adding, “The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned.” Roberts also says that “educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023] Roberts’ foreword states that “allowing parents or physicians to ‘reassign’ the sex of a minor is child abuse and must end.” Echoing ongoing right-wing attacks on trans athletes, Roberts also claims, “Bureaucrats at the Department of Justice force school districts to undermine girls’ sports and parents’ rights to satisfy transgender extremists.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; TIME magazine, 5/16/22] Dame Magazine reports that Project 2025 plans to use the Department of Justice to crack down on states that “do not charge LGBTQ people and their allies with crimes under the pretense that they are breaking federal and state laws against exposing minors to pornography.” [Dame Magazine, 8/14/23] Project 2025 also calls for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to repeat “its 2016 decision that CMS could not issue a National Coverage Determination (NCD) regarding ‘gender reassignment surgery’ for Medicare beneficiaries.” The policy book’s HHS chapter continues: “In doing so, CMS should acknowledge the growing body of evidence that such interventions are dangerous and acknowledge that there is insufficient scientific evidence to support such coverage in state plans.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023] Going further, Project 2025 also demands that the next GOP administration “reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military.” The policy book’s chapter on the Defense Department claims: “Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service, and the use of public monies for transgender surgeries … for servicemembers should be ended.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023]   …summaries of what’s within the rest of the document re: LGBTQ+ concerns. A person can believe their gender is fixed but incongruent with their physiology, but the authors and Trump (by his own words) just see the incongruity of an “expressed gender” that conflicts with what was/is in a person’s pants.
