Do you like American Lit? I personally prefer Russian literature.

 

Also, best of luck with that! Have you tried playing with pens and little things in your pockets? That always helps me.

I remember American Lit as, "Here are novels by American authors that the school board thinks are important." Many of them were terrible, but it was a required course at my school. It often made me think that if the authors could, they'd come back and slap the stupid out of my teacher's mouth. No author wants people to sit in a circle and talk about what their work "really meant."

 

I don't have a lot of positive academic memories from High School.

 

Hugs!

@Belle my apple MacBook Air is old enough that I can't update anymore.  Could I have some sort of site blocker?  I suppose that is possible although I haven't changed anything since long ago when I had no problems.  I guess I'll just deal with it for now.

 

thanks

Ok so I am a genius!!!!  I haven’t been able to drink coffee Since Sunday because it makes me wicked nauseous taking the meds I need to take for my “lump” issue.  Which I naturally have been taking in the morning.  
Duh.  What a dumb arse.   
I can take it at night and by morning I should be good to go!   
It took me half a week to figure this out.  Lol

I'm a dirty blonde.

Had a interesting early morning. Got up quarter to 7. jumped in the shower. Heard the wife leavefor work. Finish my shower come down go to get on the computer. The wife comes back in. Her car died. almost in the middle of the parking lot. She was able to get it moved some. I throw on a pair of pants, my socks, shoes and jacket. I go out to see what I can do. I got it started and let it run. The wife took one of our other cars.

OH, by the way the temp when I was doing all this, With wet hair no less. Was -5.

 

Both my appointments went good. My speech is coming along good. My therapist session went good as well.

Are you going to have to do it that often for the rest of your life?

 

Just wondering, possible future reference. LOL

Chilly one this AM in Vermont at -16*F but the car still started so I was happy about that.

Been having a terrible time sleeping this week.  No idea why either.  I sleep an hour or so super hard then I am awake the rest of the night.  Not tossing and turning but fully awake.  Irritated I am fully awake too.  LOL

So I started taking my antibiotics for the lump issue in the evening so I can enjoy my coffee in the moorings.  Its may have something to do with it not sure but its certainly not a side effect to this medicine.

SOOOO I am having my first travel mug full this morning and leaving early to see my therapist later.   It should not be that bad a day.   I am planning to attend as Shawna Leigh again.

It's chilly here.

Slept poorly.

Further hampered by watching footage of the debate. Politics. Meh.

Still haven't started coffee yet.

Wish everyone a happy day!

Just woke up, haven't even gotten out of bed yet, but it looks to be a good day. It's 12°F, and the temp is supposed to hit several degrees above freezing. With luck, I'll be able to get out of the house with my 10-month old. We have been cooped up for too long!

Good morning,

 

Had a Nescafé this morning.  I think I prefer my regular dark roast, but no sense making a pot for one. 
 

one of the few things my wife is happy about is that I’m no longer grumpy all the time. Last of the remodeling is getting closer.  I hope to be done before the first of March.  Bathroom floor is underway.  
 

Stay warm everyone, it’s even cold for here.

That is good to hear.  I've never smoked (never even tried it).so I hear it is extremely difficult to quit.  I applaud anyone who can beat an addiction like smoking.

I'm also very allergic to cigarette smoke... how have you managed to co-habitate? Cigarette smoke on clothes will set my asthma off. I'm imagining a nightmare scenario for you... I'm only hoping your symptoms aren't as severe as mine.

 

Hugs!

Yeah, quitting is like fighting a bear - it just seems so much easier to give up the fight and let the bear win.  Then, after you have quit and feel like you're done for good, stress will come and whisper, "Wouldn't a smoke be just the thing right now?"  Or you'll walk past a smoker and the scent will trigger a nostalgic feeling instead of reminding you how disgusting it smells. I had a friend who would always complain about how his clothes smelled after hanging out at my house, and I was always dismissive of the notion until I quit.  Then I would visit a smoker and come home complaining about the stench my clothes had acquired.

 

It's like you can stop smoking, but you can never truly go back to being a non-smoker.

      So an update from me.   Had my endo appointment last night. Went very well and they are sending 3 months supply of estrogen (estradoil patches) and the anti-androgens whilst my Dr gets a shared care agreement sorted out. So happy, should start HRT tomorrow!! Cost for the 3 month supply is £70 total for me, so not too bad. Not told my parents about this yet, but them being in spain, not sure they need to know yet.   Can't wait to start, just got to think about where to put the patches now and wait for the changes...

      Good Morning    well it’s Friday for most, pay day for some.  For me it’s pay day but not Friday.  I work the same opening shift tomorrow.  I typically have Friday on Saturday and Monday on Tuesday.     @KymmieL it does sound like your shop has an issue and you are smack in the thick of it.  The new gal or guy often is.  We have an issue with new people not getting fully trained before being turned loose on customers.  Some struggle through it and some quit because of it.  I try to get them working with customers as quickly as I can but I stay right with them observing, helping, even jumping in when things are getting backed up to keep the stress down.  Not everything comes up during training so when things do, even later after trying is done, I try to help and explain.  Our ASM feels that once she has you scanning barcodes and taking money she is done training.  Generally, refuses to train me on things that she does, and questions why I’m doing something that she normally handles when I’ve been told to do it as part of my advancement training.     She and the cashier involved both keep trying to toss the manager under the bus over a hours of work issue and shifts.  I tell her I realize her issues and I’ll work what ever she needs.  Because of that I tend to get a better more consistent schedule.   Well, time to say Happy Trails to you, until we meet again.   Hi ho Silver, away   Willow

      That does get you the 'starting point' for cup size, but manufacturers, style, breast shape, etc... will effect the results.    Step one is of course finding the proper band fit, then figuring out the approximate cup size with the calculations. Of course you need to try on a few styles after that in different cup sizes close to your measured result until you get the perfect fit.    I have bras in a DD that fit just like my bras in DDD both from Torrid but different styles.    I have some DDD's that fit awesome and some that are a bit loose, but I measure a 46G. It's not wonder that 80% of women are wearing them wrong bra.

      I firmly believe I drank entirely to much for about 25 years. Got drunk every day. This was my coping mechanism to keep hiding deep inside that I was a woman. I miss a lot of signs over the years. Now I drink mabye 1 or 2 beers a day don't even get a buzz anymore. totally accept myself and on regret is that I hide that part of my self which  truly makes me happy being violet 💜. I wasted a lot of time before  being self destructive and had no clue I was just hiding th real me

      Hey, everyone. my life is going down the tubes. at least I think. So, today. A customer called about his car, I told him that the oil change was done. The parts to fix the check engine light are ordered. He can come and get it. For the weekend if he wants. Customer says I didn't want an oil change. it was check the engine light and check for an oil leak. Checking the work order says oil change. The boss wrote the vehicle up. checking with the customer on services wanted.   Being that I wrote down the appointment in the book. and clearly states oil leak. She is complaining because she can't read my small ish writing. It seems she read oil and assumed it as an oil change. It seems like she is blaming me.  She wound up going home because she was too upset. She is stressing about an eye problem she has, she has to get eye surgery it seems she has a tear in her eye.    I feel that I am short for this job. because of the BS they are blaming me on. Plus I am still upset about the trust issue. If either one of the bosses start their Shite tomorrow. I am walking out.

      "I love you so much,"  Lois said.  They met in the driveway. "I could not live without you." "Neither could I." "What are we going to do?" "Find another counselor?" "No. I think we need to solve this ourselves." "Do you think we can?" "I don't know.  But what I know is that I don't want to go through that again.  I think we have to hope we can find a solution." "Otherwise, despair." "Yeah.   Truce?" "Okay,  truce." And they hugged.   "When we know what we want we can figure out how to get there."   That began six years of angry battles, with Odie insisted he could dress as he pleased and Lois insisting it did not please her at all.  He told her she was not going to control him and she replied that she still had rights as a wife to a husband. Neither was willing to give in, neither was willing to quit, and their heated arguments ended in hugs and more.   They went to a Crossdressers' Club, where they hoped to meet other couples with the same problems, the same conflicts, and the same answers, if anyone had any.  It took them four tries before they settled on a group that they were both willing to participate in.  This was four couples their own age, each with a cross dressing husband and a wife who was dealing with it.  They met monthly.  It was led by a 'mediator' who wanted people to express how they felt about the situation.  Odie and Lois, as newcomers, got the floor, and the meeting was finally dismissed at 1:30 in the morning - it was supposed to be over at 10 - and everyone knew how they felt about the situation.   There was silence in the car on the way home.   "We aren't the only ones dealing with this." Odie finally said.   "Who would have thought that?  You are right."   "Somebody out there has a solution." "I hope you are right."   "I hope in hope, not in despair."   "That's my Odie."

      The counseling session was heated, if you could call it a counseling session.  Sometimes Lois felt he was on Odie's side, and sometimes on hers.  When he was on her side, Odie got defensive. She found herself being defensive when it seemed they were ganging up on each other.   "This is not working," Lois said angrily, and walked out.  "Never again. I want my husband back. Dr. Smith you are complicit in this."   "What?" said Odie.   The counselor looked at him.  "You will have to learn some listening skills."   "That is it? Listening skills?  You just destroyed my marriage, and you told me I need to learn listening skills?"   Dr. Smith said calmly,"I think you both need to cool off."   Odie looked at him and walked out, saying "And you call yourself a counselor."   "Wait a minute."   "No."
