You must not be a morning person. I’m up at 5:30 AM everyday except weekends. Always start my day with a hot bath. Today I’ll shave my legs and get dressed. Just another day working at home. Still mini skirt week. I’ll wear my green Quarantine mini mini today. Next week I’m doing all dresses week. I have 6 of them but when I go grocery shopping today I think I’ll pick out another sun dress. They are cheap. Plus it motivates me to go shopping. Get paid on Friday. Rent due and car payment. Looks like we may possibly be returning to the building in July. I better just sit back and enjoy the working at home ride for now. When we do go back I will be Tessa but I will not wear skirts and dresses. I’m not ready for that. I miss people so much! I enjoy talking to people on the phone. I think I’ll text one of my girlfriends from work today. Slept ok but not the best. Doing quarantine single is not easy at all. At least I can talk On this app. Have a good day everyone! 
 

Love Tess❤️

Good morning everyone!  A nice orange spice herbal tea this morning. It’s another cold wet day here. An announcement coming today from the Premier of the province, likely relaxing some more restrictions. Mixed feelings about it, I know lots of high risk folks, who I worry a lot about these days, my wife is one of them; but, I also know lots of extroverts that are dying inside a little each day they can’t be with people.
 

HRT continues to work it’s magic, seeing changes regularly now and my moods continue to be so much better. 
 

It’s time to begin another wfh day, hoping my business allows me to continue doing this for the foreseeable future; I’m way more productive, am 100% able to do my job from home, I don’t miss the 1 1/2 - 2 hour daily commute and I’m a huge introvert.

 

I hope you all have a wonderful day, stay safe! Hugs!

Wow. Being a mechanic for heavy equipment does that also mean you know a lot about cars?

Well, I really had a breakthrough last night. Anyone reading my past posts and really everyone considering coming out, has shared the overwhelming fear of rejection. With a lot of encouragement and support from my BFF and sweetheart Shawna, I was going into last night fearing just that, rejection and heartbreak. 

 

The backdrop: my 20 yo daughter called and told me that she was in town. (I had no idea she was coming) and would I like to have dinner with her? Of course I said yes. This young  woman was an unexpected pregnancy 20 years ago out of wedlock. I remember everyone telling me at the time just to pay support for her and don't have anything else to do with her. I dismissed that idea out of hand and was heavily involved in her life from day 1. I've always shown her nothing but kindness, patience and love. The end result? A beautiful, extremely intelligent young woman, modeling in her spare time, getting ready to begin applying to law schools. Enough bragging.

 

I went into the evening slowly, in total fear of being rejected by the child I loved more than anything. I began slowly, a little at a time. She asked a lot of questions, which I answered as best I could. She got up, came over and hugged me and said 'I love you. Thanks for loving me and trusting me with this information'. She even volunteered to be there with me when I told her sisters. We speculated on how my siblings would react to the revelation, etc. 

 

Long story short, things went way better than I could have hoped for, and in such a way that I feel like I have another ally. If the rest of my coming out goes half as well, I'll be happy. As usual, my Shawna knew what was going on. I gave her a play by play via text, and this morning by phone. She was as happy and relieved as I was to hear how it went.

 

So, regardless of how the rest of today goes, it's a good day! :D

 

Have a wonderful day!!

Hey girls! 
 

I was wondering how all of you picked out your names? Mine I guess kinda came to me. Then it was everywhere! I saw the name on books and random things I read. I love Tessa! It means Harvester. I do feel like I bring people together it’s just part of my personality. It would be fun to know how you girls got your names?

 

Love

Patti Anne,

 

I so happy for you that your daughter is supportive.  That is great news.

 

Tessa, my name was actually chosen for me by friends.  Actually, it's way too long a story for this forum, so that's the abbreviated version.

 Mine was easy. My name before I began transition was Pat(rick). Growing up, friends occasionally called me Patty or Paddy. So I thought 'well, that's easy'. Anne? Who knows? LOL. Ann Rule was one of my favorite authors. But wherever Anne came from, I'm sure it was subliminal.

Patti Ann, 

 

Awesome news! Thanks for sharing. It makes our day too!

I work for a large Canadian retailer, normally out of their corporate hq. My role involves strategy and coordination, so it is easily done remotely.

I was very depressed most of the time and had developed an almost constant state of apathy and lethargy. While I still experience some depression at times, those times are much farther apart, the episodes last a lot less and they don’t go as deep. Now I’m much happier, able to emote again (and much more than I was ever able to), and I have some sense of drive and purpose back. It was the combination of therapy, HRT and finally taking some control over my life together that I think has got me here.

My first name is one I’ve just always loved, so it was really an easy decision for me. I’ve feminized my birth first name and am using it as my first middle name. I don’t hate it at all which is why I’ve kept it. I also feminized my birth middle name and kept it for a second middle, it’s a traditional family middle name, so I wanted to keep it. I’m not out, so I when I do come out, depending on how my family reacts, the middle names could change.

I’m glad to hear that coming out to your daughter went so well pattie Anne. I hope the rest of it goes well too.

I have always liked the name Emily and Michelle I got from feminizing my grandpa name.

Patti Ann I am so happy for you. You didn't tell "THE" secret did you? Remember that is my job oh, wait  that is only here on TP. Looking back I should have told my oldest in person, but like I told my middle son. That it probably been months even years. I wanted to be truthful and honest with him. Here come the water works again. 

 

 My name actually came from a vendor at a place I worked at. I just liked it. So it is mine now. Didn't pick it because it rhymes with my given name, Tim. I had picked Terrie for the longest time. If I had came out as a girl, like I was supposed to. My name would have been Patrica. 

 

Why can;t I sleep. up early today again. decided to say screw it and get up and take my shower. In stead of trying to get some more sleep. Only had one cup o coffee last night so I wasn't up every hour. It must be my brain still going 1000 miles a minute. (it sped up, LOL)

Over cast today, upper 50s forecast. May just say in a work on a model.

Have a great day everyone.

My first name was Erica.  I thought it was cute and "sexy" but wife did not like it, so she gave me another name Cindy.

Its OK but it feels like another person, not me.
When I signed up for this site I used the initial K as part of my profile name, and after my first post I realized I didn't really have a name.
So, K became Kay ... and I REALLY like Kay now!  I feel like Kay!

great question Tessa!
Hope everybody's had a great week

hugs

Kay

I chose Kay because it was simple and seemed to fit. Long ago I tried the name Rachel, but it didn't feel right. I know there are other Kays here, so I am in good company. When I joined, I needed to make my user name different so I came up with Oh_Kay.

How did I choose my fem name? I didn't, it chose me. About 15 years ago I was working for a public safety department and coworkers started playing online as a team in "Soldier of Fortune" servers, and I needed to come up with a screen name. My first and last name both start with "M" and I live in the Indianapolis, IN Metro area "Indy". So as an old person trying to get into this game the kids were playing, and not thinking about what I was putting into the box it came out as "M" for the first name and "m" for the last name and "Indy" for my location. Mmindy was coined and became my nickname as a joke, so they thought. The funniest thing to happen when I started getting better, and some say very good at the ambush and sniper roles. Some of the teenage boys started hitting on me to be on their teams, and flirting with me. I still didn't make the connection. I would bush them off thinking it was some internet cop trying to bait me into something wrong, and still didn't make the connection. Our team started getting challenged to move to other servers for capture the flag tournaments and we started using Team Speak online and all these gamers voice their surprise when they found out I wasn't a girl. THAT'S WHEN I MADE THE CONNECTION! What did I do after that? I changed my Avatar and became the online female soldier making head shots on my opponents. Good morning to everyone and my name is Mmindy Moore.

Huh. For me the clouds parted and the Goddess descended on a beam of light. She knelt and give me a kiss on the forehead, then rose and proclaimed my new name to the heavens. Isn't that how it happens for everyone?

 

In all seriousness though, it's similar to my birth name which was a tribute name by my history geek father. He named me after a Scottish national hero from the 14th century. Not identical though because the feminized version of my birth name is the sort of thing you end up with after you're on the wrong side of a witch's curse. Bleah. My middle name is my first choice of names when I came out. I named myself after a bad-ass video game character when my therapist put me on the spot for a feminine name. That name got me through some really rough spots, so I keep her close.

 

Now then, congratulations @Patti Anne! You raised a good kid. I wish more parents did the same.

 

Hugs!

@Patti Anne Congratulations on coming out to your daughter!  I am so glad that it went well.

 

@Tessa I wanted a first name that sounded and wrote like my old name.  There is no feminine form of my old name, so Kathy was the best I could do.  I chose Kathleen, rather than Katherine, because it is is the Irish version and because it was my mother-in-law's middle name.  (It doesn't hurt to butter up the in-laws! :) )  My middle name is a feminine version of my old middle name.

I am so happy for you. Your daughter sounds very mature and a well adjusted young adult who loves you very much.  This sure says a lot about you as a parent. I know how very proud she must make you feel. Congratulations on getting past that fear of coming out to her. I’m glad you’ve been blessed with the support you deserve.

I won’t bore anyone with story here again but it was ‘spur of moment’ decision in early 1986 after seeing the movie, “Desperately Seeking Susan”.

 

No coffee yet but it’s set and ready to go. Hope everyone has a great day today.

      So an update from me.   Had my endo appointment last night. Went very well and they are sending 3 months supply of estrogen (estradoil patches) and the anti-androgens whilst my Dr gets a shared care agreement sorted out. So happy, should start HRT tomorrow!! Cost for the 3 month supply is £70 total for me, so not too bad. Not told my parents about this yet, but them being in spain, not sure they need to know yet.   Can't wait to start, just got to think about where to put the patches now and wait for the changes...

      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."
