@KymmieL that's a great quote to read with coffee this morning, so true, and it feels great to look back on transition. Nice calm morning here, it's very quiet outside, the cat is upstairs, I expect her to come down to play soon.

 

Enjoy your day everyone,

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


I really don’t think it’s going to take off very quickly because of the situation we are all in but it’s ok. My only real concern is that I want things to resonate with people and not just be frivolous. I’m still working on various design decisions and probably going to focus on finding several different publishers so that I can rotate designs because many of them only run for a couple of days and then if it’s not selling then it’s pulled out of the rotation. Some people pad that by buying up the first 20 of their own products to get them to print longer. I understand the artificial shortage causes people to buy under normal circumstances but people are not really interested in buying much besides toilet paper and disinfectant, masks and hand sanitizer. It’s a very weird time to try starting anything new. But since I have a lot of time to figure it out I might as well do something productive instead of binge watching everything on Netflix until severe boredom drives me insane. And I just can’t stomach more than 15 minutes of news, sometimes not even that much.

Well my “polish practice” turned out fairly well. Only had to redo two nails lol. I was going to do my toes as well but unfortunately I smashed my pinky toe on my kids LEGO box and it is quite colorful already.

Justine that toe looks like a VERY painful experience..ouch!  I had to do something with my severely overdue nails too. I’ve been having them done at the salon since last August and wasn’t looking forward to starting to paint them myself again but the salons don’t look like they’ll be opening anytime soon. With the help of my wife and some masking tape, I was able to do a pretty good job of replicating the job our salon did.  I had broke a nail about six weeks ago so I had to cut them back considerably.  These won’t last near as long as my salon nails but they’ll get me by.

That looks really good Susan! I unfortunately can’t let my nails grow that long, I keep breaking them at work.

Both your nails look nice!   Justine you might want to get cuticle sticks to work around the edges to push the cuticle back.  That way you have a nice clear definition line like Susan is showing.  Your toe looks sore.  I hope it gets well quickly.

Justine, I was breaking my nails just about everywhere. I started taking over the counter Biotin. Seems to have worked for me. Susan I am still envious of your nails. I need to start painting mine again.

 

Off work, would up getting the bike out for a small ride. Felt good to behind bars again. This biker b-witch wants to ride.

 

So the rest of the week I am closing 12-7:30. nicer closing earlier. Couldn't believe all the people we had come through the store.

@Emily michelle Sometime I don't like you very much.  LOL

Its 28*F here and quite frosty on the windshield.  Just arrived at work and it is a ghost town out there.  Everyone seems to be in good sprites with that stressed out fear underlaying everything.

Just getting threw my travel mug and sitting at my desk wondering how life will go.  I feel amazing being me but the world is shut down so I cant really be out there.  

Oh well.

I still will wear a smile and be as happy as I can.

I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Haha I’m sorry lol. Well come July and august that will change when it’s 95 and a humidity of 90% haha. I just got to one quarry in the city and traffic was normal even though they just shut down Missouri today. I was telling my wife last night I wish I was out to more people but oh well life must go on.

Don't rush yourself or your wife.  Let things happen organically.  You will know when it is time to tell all.  Its always going to be scary telling folks, especially those you love.  I can say now though I feel so free and that weight has been lifted off my soul.

Good Luck!

Your right I keep rushing it. I feel like since I know who I am now I just want to get the show on the road. But it’s a transition not a race.

Oh yes.  I did too.  You have to step back and realize you have been dealing with this your whole life.  Other have been dealing with it once you told them.  Your desire to make it all happen is at the end or middle of a long journey, but for others they are still in shock over your news.  Give it time hon.  Be patient with yourself and others.  In the end you are who you are inside and at least you know this and can look forward to your future as your true self.

Good morning. I'm jealous of everyone's gorgeous nails. I have guitarists nails that are super short.

Coffee almost done.

Warm steamy weather ahead this week. That usually means storms and even tornadoes. Not fun.

Wishing everyone a safe and happy day!

I know.  My wife keeps talking about it like I'm "flipping a switch" and it's just not like that.  At all.  Still, when it comes to coming out, there's a temptation to treat it like a band-aid that hurts less if you just rip it off...

Good Morning all. i'm just finishing my cup of joe and admiring the pics of the nails. Very nice! I work retail so I have to keep mine short. However I am now on a 30 day loa so I am going to try false ones for now.

It's going to be around 60 today and pushing 80 tomorrow.

Brandi, I too work retail. I have let my nails grow. I don't keep them long claws but longer than a mans.

 

Meta,  My wife thinks the same way that I can just flip a switch and turn my transgenderism off and on. That I just found the switch and turned it on one day.

 

almost 60 today. Of course the weather is going to be nice when I am working and crap on my days off. go figure.

Still this is a good indication that her perception and yours may not be fully aligned so take a look at how she is doing and work together!

Hello it's mid-afternoon and I'm having more coffee.

 

The neighbor kids have company and are mingling in the hallway outside my apt door.  It's strewn with their furniture like their extra living room.  Their grandma says it's stupid to social distance and we're all gonna get it anyway.  Seriously.

 

Nails are cool.  I don't have mine going now though.

Evening everyone! Had to work today but home now and relaxing. Toe feels a lot better, still quite colorful but it doesn’t hurt so bad lol. Kicked back and watching Lady Valor with my wife.

April in Paris, chestnuts in blossom

Holiday tables under the trees
April in Paris, this is a feeling
No one can ever reprise

 

Good Morning all, April in Paris, but in an empty Paris, nearly dead Paris. I'm eager to get electrolyse face hair removal, to find a psychotherapist Everything's closed. Sometimes, I feel like i'm going to explode Inside. Thank you to be there. Reading you makes me feel better. A common fate, over the world. So many common points in our lives, in our childhoods. I'm not alone.

Have a good day when you wake up in few hours.

Kiss

Sophie

Good morning everyone! 
I had to mow the yard for the first time last night and I realized I need a landscaper and mower lol. Temps in the 80s today. My wife gave me some of her old bras which they don’t fit but was a nice gesture nonetheless.

hugs

Emily

      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. 
    • Ivy
      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

      April sounds fun..I keep some boy jeans to visit mom in..fir now   hugs

      I like them too.  We had them growing up.  But my father's family were Swedes.

      Oh my!  I guess it just goes to show how different tastes can be. Since we don't live near the ocean, Seafood is a rare luxury. We absolutely love pickled herring! Especially my husband and my GF, I guess it's a Ferman/Russian cultural thing.  But most of the kids like it too, and a jar wouldn't last in the pantry for long 😆
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      I think the key to that is just not minding eating the same thing repeatedly. Since we produce a lot of our own food here, we end up eating what is in season at the moment. So, when the yellow squash is ripening, we end up fixing squash 20 different ways. When the strawberries are ready, we eat lots of strawberries. It's kind of a different mindset to eat in season when it has become such a part of American culture but the grocery store has everything we want all the time. Like grapes in December.  My family does even things out a little bit by having a greenhouse so we have some fresh things in the winter, but it's not a 100% fix.
    • KathyLauren
      My brothers and I had to eat what was on the plate.  All of it, and nothing else.  Pickiness was not tolerated.  Some of our least favourite were liver and onions, sauerkraut, and especially rollmops (pickled herring).  We finally protested enough to persuade our mother not to serve rollmops, though she kept a jar in the pantry for years afterwards, as a threat if we didn't behave.

      I'll go first.  My favorite team is the Yankees.  Loved them since I was a kid.  I was born in NYC so, yeah.  I know everyone loves to hate them, and that's OK.  I just love baseball in general.  It's a game of traditions, strategy, power, grace and skill.   Play Ball!!  ⚾   Carolyn Marie
    • Ashley0616
      I guess you do have a good point. It's just hard to try and not have the same meals over and over again. 
    • Willow
      Hi   I’ll weigh in on being picky about food.  Yes, and I was brought up that way.  We didn’t have to eat everything our parents ate.  They had a number of things they ate that they figured we wouldn’t eat, an acquired taste things or one or the other didn’t like them too.   even as an adult there are many things I won’t eat.  In my defense, there are different things my wife won’t eat.   the weird thing is that after being in E, my tastes have changed.  Sweet, sour, salty or bland, if I eat or drink too much of any one thing and I have to counter act it.   Willow
