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

OK you can keep 80's  Uggh.  

I'm a 60s to 70s gal for comfort.  (Where do you have to live for that to be year round?  LOL)

 

It was a bigger deal then you realize when your wife gives you her old clothing.  Think abou t the mind set to help and support you in doing this!

Trust me I know and extremely thankful every day to my wife.  I probably wouldn't be full time if my wife had not be this generous and caring about my need for transition.  Though I am bless to of gotten all manner of her old "hand me downs" and some still have tags on them.  LOL

 

Hoping everyone has a wonderful and safe day.

I couldn’t believe it she said look in your bra and sock drawer and she put 3 of her old bras in there I actually have one on today to wear to work. I was trying to find tops that match my shorts last night and she just laughed at me the whole time lol.

Mine has gotten a kick out of some of the outfits I put together and she is always about tough love.  "Um nope-looks terrible-go change." she would say if I missed.  LOL

That  happens all the time with me I’m learning though, but if you ask her I’m not lol. I have to laugh at myself always before I only wore what was comfortable and cheap. I spend now on one outfit what I spent a year on my clothes  before.

Good morning. 

I've been told by women that I have good taste.  Sometimes.  Not always the case.  There have been times when all I could do to grab a few things off racks at thrift stores that kind of fit and then run out of the place in fear.  I remember a checkout clerk asking "Are you actually going to wear these together??"

Haha I love that. I thought it was funny I was talking to the insurance lady at my doctors office yesterday and she asked how I was and I said wonderful it’s I love my job Monday she got the biggest kick out of it. It really felt nice we talked on the phone for like 20 minutes. It was great to have a conversation as 2 women.

I would love to find a place were it is 60-75 yr round. maybe 40-50s at night. I would move there in a heartbeat. I am a warm weather girl. now more than ever since being on my blockers. I am cold more often. I want warmer weather so I can get out and do something. With no garage only have the parking lot to do any work on the cars. (yet the landlord doesn't allow it) I want to get on the bike and ride (MMM sounds like a song lyric)

 

thankfully it has been getting warmer. we wound up laying off two drivers yesterday. So know our hours are back up so today and tomorrow I go in at 10 instead of noon. hey 2 more hours of  boredom and BS.

 

Have a great day all.

Me too Shawna.  While maybe one or two days of 80's would be tolerable but not for months on end.

That was kind of blunt.  We all buy things that may not match because something at home does!

I have not had any negative comments about my choice of clothes . I am often complimented on my choices. One time I was visiting my son while he was in the hospital and the his nurse came into the room. I was wearing a dress, black leggings and scruncy boots. The nurse asked if I picked out my own clothes or if I had someone pick them out for me. When I told her that i pick out my own clothes she told me that I had better taste than she had. Talk about making my day!

75 and cloudy here. Enjoying the day outside in the yard. I did my civic duty and voted today, as Justine. I guess even with makeup I still look close to my id photo.

Having some mid-day coffee before heading out for a walk.  It’s 54° and the sun just came out.  I love warmer weather.  My wife won’t join me on my walks unless it’s over 50° so it looks like I’ll have some company today.

I used to be warm all the time prior to HRT.  Now my hands and feet are often freezing...LOL. Roles seems to be reversed a bit as I’m always reaching for her hands at night to warm mine.  The extremities being colder is one of the few changes I could have done without.

Hmm that could prove interesting to me if the hormones do affect my hands already can’t take the cold lol.

Not so your hands directly, just thinking of the natural tendency for women to feel colder than men in cool temps (in my experience and understanding).

 

As to age, my dad never had an issue with cooler temps until he started to get older. Same with my FIL.

I’m pretty sure it’s the E.  I started to notice the temperature change of my extremities about 3 months into HRT and ever since then.  I would think if it was completely due to old age, it would’ve happened over a greater period of time not over a few weeks.  Although I am old so I can’t rule that out?.  I just wear gloves a lot more often these days.

...Jani, thanks for the compliment on my new avatar!

Now I actually care if I get burned I need to go get some sun block and some moisturizer with spf for my face because now it looks like raccoon eyes.

Good morning.

I saw my red squirrel for the first time this year.  His color is like an Irish setter and he darts back and forth atop a chain link fence.

Good Morning @Ms Maddie, glad you saw your friend this year. I enjoy seeing the wildlife about, the Robins are chatty now in the mornings, I hear them about an hour before sunrise, heard a bard owl hooting just before I got up. It's so quiet around here, vehicle and air traffic that used to be in the background is virtually non existent.

 

Have a lovely day

OK lets face it MFT HRT = Freezing!  OMG I am so cold all the time and my hands and feet most of all.

I though maybe it was from weight loss and not regulating that temp yet but HRT definitely has an effect too.  JMO

Or I am old too.  

 

Coffee gone and at work.  Busy today. Not good things either sad to say.

Keeping it as positive as I can.  Smiles in place of tears.

 

Have a great day all.

Good morning! Coffee almost finished. Sorry to hear so many are feeling down, but I am another wildlife fan, as long as they don't get too close!

With spring peeking out everywhere I am feeling a bit lonely. What I wouldn't give to lay for hours in someone's embrace and just talk with one another!

Otherwise, between guitar practice and drawing I'm a busy gal.

I have one red squirrel that hangs around my yard.  Mostly its grey squirrels and chipmunks that congregate under my feeders whenever the birds are present.  I also have a couple rabbits that feed on the little bit of grass I have to the side of the house, and of course deer!

I'm sure that would be nice. 

 

Yesterday was glorious at mid-60's and sunny but today is back to rainy and grey.  Boo hoo! 

 

I have to register my cars this month but the town clerks office is closed but the state does offer an online app that I tried last night.  It will take longer than going to the office but safer.  

 

I hope everyone has an enjoyable day, whatever you choose to do!

Forecast in the upper 50s for us today. My hand get so cold now days. it really doesn't help with my left pinky having been broke last year. Hopefully with the weather getting warmer (big hope) I will not be as cold. doesn't really help that right now I am in  shorts and a cami. LOL.

 

My Friday today. 10-7:30. Have a phone appointment with my GYN tomorrow, then speech and MH video on Friday. Hoping for warmer weather as I want to start to work on something.

      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."
