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.

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.

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      The number is relative to method of deliver, the time of the dose, and when the blood is drawn. However, I do want to keep away from DVT and other potential issues. I assume I may be getting backed down from my current dose, but my doc told me to stick with the higher dose, so? I also wonder if this has anything to do the my breast growth and mental changes that have been happening over the past few years, like I have some estrogen sensitivity so a little goes a long way or something? I don't have enough data to postulate, but who knows!   With weekly, subcutaneous, shots you expect to see big swings of serum level estradiol from shot to peak to trough. My doctor is interested in mid-week testing (for E and T levels only), which would be post-peak blood serum levels but they will be higher than trough. Most, if not all, resources I've seen online is to measure at trough (which I might do just to do it next time) along with a SHBG, LH, and other metrics.   This is from transfemscience.org for Estradiol valerate in oil, which is very spiky compared to some other estradiol combinations. It's also for intramuscular, which will have a slower uptake and is usually dosed in higher volume due to the slower absorption rate from muscles. They don't have subcutaneous numbers, which I would expect to see similar spikes but higher levels at similar doses due to the relatively higher absorption rate direct from fat.   Are you doing pills, shots, or patches? And when you do get your levels checked are you getting that done when your levels are lowest or some other time?

      Both of my parents were from the “North Shore” of Boston.  My mother Lynn and my father Swampscot.  They had an early 1900s Scots-Irish New England diet.  My sister and I were born in the 40s in Ohio well away from New England seafood and in an area where food was more German and Polish.  My first experience with liver and onions was during basic training.  They ate salt cod but never forced us to eat it same with oysters.  My dad ate oysters but my mother wouldn’t.  Anyone who ever ate an oyster can figure that one out.  I grew up eating lamb.  My wife won’t touch it. I love brazed ox tail, again no way. And the list goes on.

      My mother was German, so yes, I think it was a cultural thing.  If I'd known you when we were cleaning out my mother's place, I could have sent you her "threat jar".

      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one.

      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
    • Ashley0616
      I don't see why not. I have worn forms since I came out. 
    • MaeBe
      I have never worn breastforms, but I assume as long as they don't aggravate your nipples you could.

      Every week I've been excited to take my shot, so it's never been an issue. Yesterday, however, I woke up and started my usual "slow roll" and then suddenly realized I had breakfast plans that I had to rush out the door for. After, it was straight into work calls, and then I got the notification from the doctor about things being too high and all the while my mind had completely slipped that I needed take my shot.   Given that I am not asking for medical advice, but sharing my journey, I will note my results: Estradiol at 447 pg/mL and Testosterone was 23 ng/dL, up and down from 26 pg/mL and 526 ng/dL respectively before treatment. Almost flipped the bit! The doc would like my Estradiol closer to 300 pg/mL, so we'll see what Monday's tests state.   Oh, and I teased the dinner with old soccer teammates and never updated the thread! It went well. There were a couple funny moments. One guy, who I was worried about their response, greeted me with "Hey, you've lost some weight!" 😎 And a friend who lives near me picked me up on the way to dinner exclaimed, after we learned one of the invitees might show up with a date, "Wait! We could have brought women?!" To which I instantly responded, "You kind of did, bringing me!" Everyone got a good laugh out of that. 😁

      To me there isn't that much difference other the measurement, which side the zipper is on and men's pants have bigger pockets. 
    • missyjo
      I hope this is not stupid question..I have yet to start n not sure if doc will approve..but once you start growing buds n such, can you still wear forms to get to the size you were?   I'm a dad, so when I start blossoms they will be smaller for a long time n probably need surgical augmented..that's fine. I don't want to go ddd to aa to ddd..   any ideas?   thank you
