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.

Oh trust me it’s not like this year around haha.(I live in Missouri). I love to be a 60s 70s gal lol

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 don’t know how I would respond to that clerk

With a "Yes I am why?" Sprinkled with curiosity and lots of attitude.  

But that's me.  LOL

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!

[Maddee]

Ok.  Thanks

[BrandiBri]

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.

mmmm, maybe the estrogen in your system?  Or just plain getting older??

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

[Jani]

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!

Good morning everyone it’s Wednesday lol the week is half over. We have highs in the 70s with storms. I managed to get my first sunburn of the year yesterday haha. 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. 

[Maddee]

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.

[TommieAnne]

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!

[KymmieL]

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.
