Well I finally got the therapist that I wanted! My first appointment with her is on the 29th and I really am excited about it! It’s the same person that my roommate goes to so I’ve already met her before. But I’m a bit irritated because the clerks keep calling me sir because my legal name is still male. I’d rather they just call me by my shortened first name and not sir.

Just reread the story, Natalie.  That was posted around xmas time. I cannot believe how much it relates to me. It brought me to tears. And of course I am at work.

Oh, my god, @Emily michelle, I am so excited for you! I will admit I am also a tiny bit jealous, but mostly I am just glad to hear that you are getting to take another step on your journey.

 

My therapist keeps asking about how I feel about HRT, and I have been consistent in wanting to start, but I am not ready to do so without the support of my wife.

Good morning everyone it’s cold this morning the temperature dropped back to the 40s from a high of 91 yesterday.

thank you metalicious I’m very excited I hate to wish the days by but my perception couldn’t come soon enough lol. My wife was hesitant but she did agree, she is pretty concerned about the side effects.

Thanks kymmie. I need to find a speech therapist now but that will probably have to wait until the world opens back up.

Maybe not, I did all my speech work online with a therapist in California. I'm told I got good results. There's a couple other packages you can purchase online to help out.

 

Hugs!

It’s another beautiful day today here in the Pacific Northwest. I’m having my lunchtime coffee break and getting ready to head out for my walk soon.  Not much to do around the house now.  We’ve done so many small projects around the house that we’re taking a break from changing things around for the sake of “do something” to keep busy..LOL You know you’re in isolation when you look forward to your late afternoon therapy appointment as the major highlight of your day.  Oh, the wonderful times we live in...

 

Hope everyone’s in good spirits today,

Susan R?

Hi everyone.

 

Weather has been great.  mid 80s but low humidity.  I've made a lot of progress on my boat.  I have one more patch to fill, final sand and power wash.  Then I can paint it and call it good for this year.  Of course something always breaks.  I am looking forward to sailing off into the sunrise.  Boating season can be a short summer.  Hurricane season begins in a month and a half so you really have to keep your eyes on the weather.  So no long sails.  Only day trips until November and then it gets chilly.

Good Morning

 

Well I spoke too soon.  Cool (ok not to most of you) and overcast today.  supposed to be sunny later but remain cool.  Similar for tomorrow but look out for Monday!  hang on to your hats and everything else.  Windy, stormy even a tornado is possible although usually the ocean keeps them away.  

 

Take care of your selves.

We woke up to snow, wind, and a temperature of +2C.  Tides today are over 13 metres, and there is supposed to be a storm surge with it.  The dock will be under water this afternoon.

 

Had my usual oatmeal for breakfast, with prunes.

Well my last day off is off to a good start. Shower done. coffee next to me. Have two appointments this morning. Then maybe do some more work on the cars or take the truck up and try and not get stuck. LOL.

 

Lads and Lassies have a safe, healthy, sane day.

Yikes!  That is amazing.  I've got to see that someday.

I had snow and 28* this morning.  Had to wipe my own car off again too.  

I'm seriously seeing the need for a many in my life if for just this one thing.  I hate doing this.  No I have no garage and if I did have one it would be full off crap so Id still be parker out in the weather.  LOL

 

Half a day, kind of, and then a phone session with my therapist at 2pm.  

No plans again for the weekend.

Perfect!

 

Have a wonderful day all!

There's a live webcam where you can see it every day.  Hall's Harbour webcam.  High tide is about an hour from now.  Although you might not be able to tell because the wharf is wet from snow and rain, the picnic table in the centre foreground will be standing in a couple of inches of sea water at 1:42 pm Eastern Time today.  Check it again six hours later, and the boats will be high and dry on the harbour floor. 

 

The harbour floor is at the half-tide level, so at low tide, the water is as far below the harbour floor as the dock is above it.  In other words, the picture only shows you half the actual tide range.

@Jani Of course nothing compares to seeing it in person, once the virus emergency is over. :)

      In those dimensions, not even Sophia Loren could hold a candle to me. A Goddess....in my own mind. lol
    • Sally Stone
      So, just imagine how spectacularly beautiful you'd be in four-dimensions April.
    • Ivy
      That does sound hard to keep up with.  I use patches, changed twice a week.  But I have to have my phone set to remind me.  I just don't think about it.
    • April Marie
      Oh, I am drop-dead gorgeous in a totally different dimension @Sally Stone! :-)

      Ladies, each of your comments makes me realize my decision to share my journey was a good one.  Before committing, I worried that my storyline wouldn't be of interest to anyone. I'm so glad I'm striking a chord with many of you.

      I am sorry to hear that. It just means something better is in your future!

      How we look in photographs isn't really anything we can control.  I've actually searched for answers and there are lots of good explanations out there like this one:   https://www.foxbackdrop.com/blogs/news/beautiful-photogenic-reasons-tricks-foxbackdrop#:~:text=Based on the light-creation,angular faces are usually photogenic.   The simplest explanation is a picture captures our image two-dimensionally when in real-life, we are seen three-dimensionally.  A person can be beautiful or handsome in real life but the two-dimensional image can be way different.  So, for those of us that don't think we look good in a picture, fear not.  We are much better looking in three-dimensions.

      This is your journey and no one here will judge you or bully you. This is a very accepting, non-judgemental place and you can process at your own speed. Having said all welcome Violet, we are glad you found us. I know we all look forward to hearing from you.

      Good morning    I should not have said about sleeping in, now I have to go in 2 ½ hours earlier.  Oh well at least I. Off tomorrow and Monday, I think.as of now, hope I didn’t just jinx that too.     Hot today high 80s dropping quickly and rain to the 60s for a couple of days then more normal 70s.  It just depends on which way the wind blows. Off the gulf, hotter, off the ocean, cooler, out of the north rain and when they all converge, look out.  That’s today.   i made a pot of coffee but I think most of it is going to waste.  My wife went back to bed and I’m not good with coffee when I’m hot, and I am. That’s my fault, I was 4 days.late with my E again.  I just st have a really hard time keeping on a 10 day schedule.  And my reminders aren’t helping..   now I’m going to peak by tomorrow since it isn’t all absorbed in one day, I’ll hold fairly steady but if I’m late again I’ll drop well below my target yet again.     Im down in the valley, the valley so low But I see my true love, at the top of the hill i climb the mountain, but she is not there for she has gone back down, to the valley below   I didn’t come up with a refrain and with that I’m calling the guys with the padded cells. lol   Willow

      Congratulations and Happy Anniversary!!!! A beautiful milestone.    I hope to see you tonight...I just have to stay awake long enough!!

      It's funny with photos isn't it, how we think we look in them vs. how we actually do look in them! I'm hopeless at smiling and I have to try really hard not to frown or look like a zombie. I'm never sure how I come across to others.   I had a moment late last night when my eldest daughter facetimed my wife for some now forgotten reason, and when I was handed the tablet and talking to her, I was fixated on my image in the corner. My hair was wild at the time, I was a bit tipsy and all I saw was a woman! I have no idea what she saw in that context. I'll probably never know.

      I hope to see you on the Zoom meeting tonight, April.  I might be late, since I am doing lights and sound for a play that opened last night.  I was home before ten last night, so I think I'll be able to make it.   Today is an anniversary for me.  Seven years ago today, I stood up at the weekly community kaffeeklatsch as <deadname> and announced that henceforth I would be Kathy.  It went as well as I could have imagined: there were some surprised looks, but no hostility and lots of support.  A whole layer of stress disappeared that day and has never come back.  (There have been other stresses, but that one is gone.)  I have been me full-time ever since that moment.
    • Mirrabooka
      This is a scarily accurate description of what I feel!   I hope I don't sound too schmaltzy by saying this, but I remember when I signed up to this forum last year, during the sign-up process the question is asked, "Why do you want to join TransPulse?" to which I wrote, "Looking for a home where I can freely write about my issues and interact with similar people."    I think I just found one. ❤️
