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.

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.

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. :)

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      Having just a normal emotional day.
    • Heather Shay
      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.

      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.
