It may have changed now because now I have to find a way to pay for it my insurance company denied it.

Well pooh.

Sorry to hear that.

There's always Planned Parenthood - I gather they're not very expensive.

I thought about that but there are no planned parenthood clinics around me that do hrt. I left a message with my doctor to see how expensive it is to go with out insurance

I recall reading the story of one of the first trans women who after being denied an orchi just did it herself. Almost bled out before getting to the ER. I hope you won't consider that. I kinda look to you for leadership and smarts at this point. In other words, I need you (along with several kind others).

And thank you for the encouraging words. I'm probably going to chew my gender therapist's ears off next week in my appointment.

TA

I would never dreamt something like that.  I said it only in jest.  
My constitution is not that high.  I passed out changing my dressing after my Bariactric surgery one day.  

it wasn’t bleeding but I could see fairly far inside me.  Lights out. Lol

I'm happy to have coffee and my usual oatmeal and blueberry breakfast.  We have been staying on the farm except to send taxes out,  drop deposits at the bank, or drop off cases of maple syrup at distributers.  I'm grateful for the spring but miss spending time chatting with friends and neighbors.

Stay safe my friends.

 

Hugs,

I am glad to see another oatmeal eater.  I have oatmeal with raisins and maple syrup every morning.  Lately, since my surgery, I have added prunes.  Yes, they work!

 

And toast with marmalade, and tea.  I only have coffee (espresso) on Sundays.

I'm another oatmeal person. Usually with blueberries (frozen from jaunts to Maine) or lacking those, dried cranberries or even apples or pears thrown in. It's been a staple of my breakfast for more than twenty five years.

And of course, coffee.

Definitely.

I'm fond of them too.

Scottish oatcakes are pretty good too.

Relatively few things when dipped in chocolate taste bad!

Oats are a good thing regardless. All that healthy stuff!

This "stay at home except for absolutely necessary travel" order is really putting a damper on my feminine self-expression.  Oh sure, I can express my feminine side here at home, but it just isn't the same as being out and about.

 

Still, I am committed to doing my part to stave off the spread of this virus, but I'd be lying if I didn't say that I'm just dying to go shopping for a new dress or a new pair of shoes.

 

I guess I'll just have to be patient and hope the all-clear comes sooner versus later (please).

 

Stay well and healthy everyone.

 

Hugs,

Patience is definitely called for.  I share your frustration. 

 

However, if the stay-at-home orders do what they are supposed to ("flatten the curve"), it will last a longer time, not shorter.  The point is to reduce the peak of people who are sick all at the same time, by slowing transmission so that many people get sick later rather than soon.  That way, the hospitals can cope, at the cost of dragging the whole thing out for longer.

 

Not what you wanted to hear, I know.  And I am not looking forward to it.  But getting it over quickly means that more people will die.

I had to check out a recipe for those and it seems they are just like the soft cookies I buy, made in small batches and wonderful!

They're addictive.

But about as sweet as a graham cracker rather than sugary like a cookie.

If you really want a cookie, Walker's Shortbread is the way to fly.

I know that I’ve been absent for quite a while and things are not easy, not easy for any of us, but there’s a little bit of a silver lining. I’m finally on vacation, sure it’s not in a tropical island with little umbrella drinks and pool furniture but it’s a much needed break. I’m working from home so that’s a step in the right direction, and I can finally say that I have set up my T-shirt store online (or at least one of them). But those are all minor things compared to the blessing in disguise that this world crisis is: that on Tuesday, because of the social distancing, I was finally able to get an over the phone appointment on next Tuesday with a gender therapist. Believe me I’m not happy about this all going on but if it’s going to get me back on track with my transition then I’m glad that something good came out of it.

I know just what you mean!  It is not helping that I only just found out how comfortable I feel in a dress.  I had been wearing jeggings almost exclusively until my wife bought me a "starter package" of clothes through Amazon.  Now I feel like my wardrobe is woefully lacking in variety, and I really prefer shopping in the real world, especially for clothes.

 

Hang in there, Sally - our time will come!

Good morning everyone! I hope everyone has a good Saturday. I know 4am came way to early to get up and go to work, of course they are talking rain for most of the day so I’d imagine it be a fun day at work for me lol.

Rainy dreary day here again.

Hoping for a little sunshine.

@Josie Beth Welcome back!  I hope your new business takes off.  I know it will be slow at first.  Hang in there.  

 

Its sunny here this morning and that alone makes me feel good.  The overcast clouds and rain over the last number of days has been a real bummer.

Good evening everyone! Hope everyone is staying safe and well. I’m relaxing at home with the family, taking the opportunity to get some practice with painting my nails. 
I’ve been considering opening the door some more to other friends and family because I’m getting sick and tired of feeling like I need to hide.  I just don’t want to add more stress on my wife with everything else that is going on.

I know what you mean I had planned on coming out to more people by this point but since the world is shut down it hasn’t happened yet.

I am already out to those who are close to me (a whopping total of four people), but I have a large number of family members and a few friends who I am not out to.  My wife has been encouraging me to make a Facebook account so people will stop asking her how I am.  I don't want to make a Facebook account that doesn't reflect who I really am.  If I do this, I am going to be coming out to everyone at once.  On the one hand, the idea makes me anxious, but on the other hand, I'm not really involved with these people, and it seems like an easy way to sort out who will stand with me...

Metalicious I think your wife is right especially if you are not that close to them. I’m out to just 2 people. I decided to wait to tell my parents till after I’m on hrt so I won’t have to listen to them say how I should not do it. I don’t have Facebook so I won’t have to worry about coming out there.

Well back to the daily grind yesterday. Looks like a lot of people haven't gotten the message yet. We still get quite a few people not social distancing at the store.

 

Had a good video appointment with my speech therapist on Fri. My speech is there just needs a few tweaks. Weather forecast in the upper 50s today. by the clouds doesn't look like it will happen.

 

Guys and gals stay health and safe.

      Germany has more castles than there are McDonald's in the United States. Yep, you heard that right. Germany is estimated to have 25,000 castles, and there are around 13,000 McDonald's locations in America.   In Washington state, there's a real-life law stating it's illegal to kill bigfoot and other sasquatch-like creatures.

      DREAD f you’re anticipating something positive, you’re probably motivated to summon all your patience to wait for it—and sometimes for extended time periods. It may be counter-intuitive, yet in certain instances such waiting can itself be gratifying. Consider Carly Simon’s song “Anticipation,” the old Heinz ketchup ads, and—especially—recent research pointing in the opposite direction as regards awaiting something highly aversive. In this post I won’t be reviewing ketchup commercials, but I will be exploring some intriguing research on dread-infused anticipation.

      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

      Well it not morning and I haven’t been on her for a while but it’s nice to be back.  Did some catching up on everyone.  I do have a question, how is Toronto Canada for a get away? Is it a safe and friendly area for us to go.  The wife and I are looking for some where to go to allow me to be my true self.     thanks in advance

      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.
