Good morning ladies and gentlemen. Got my coffee going and rolling at work. Got a partner today for the first time in months. Boss was teasing me that he wanted to make sure I could still play nice with others. Looking forward to the weekend so I can be myself. Have a great day!

Patti Ann good for you. finally purging most of your male clothes. Other than t-shirts I have very few male clothes anymore.

 

I almost expect my wife to say, 'to prove you are stopping get rid of all your girl clothes'

My response would be "ain't gonna happen, period" there is no way in heck I am doing that.

 

Finally able to decompress a little. Only got up once last night to go. slept pretty sound also. However I am up early again.must be my bodies auto wake up system.

 

Shawna, girlfriend you need to write down a list of things to do in prep for moving. I'll personally staple it to your forehead.  I think we need to pitch in and get you a nice pink ribbon to keep your keys and phone on, then pin it to your shirt every morning. So you will have them where ever you go. Or we can hang them from the bolts holding your head on.LOL

Well today forecast for 70. I have a few things to get done before my tele appointment with my therapist @ 1300

Take care everybody. Have a great day.

Hugs

Thank you for all the compliments. I have to admit though... I don’t look nearly as happy and smiley at the end of the day lol. 
 

Tessa I love your dresses, they look so cute and comfortable. Can I ask where you got them?

Sure! I bought them at Family Fare. They were on a rack on sale! They are very comfortable. I’m thinking of grabbing another one. I grocery shop at that store. I also wanted to compliment you on being brave. I actually have now walked outside my apartment in a dress and mini skirt. It brings me confidence knowing I can make these small steps. Today I will be celebrating with my family my mom’s birthday. My mom is the only one that knows about Tessa. I am talking to a counselor right now and letting out who she is and why it’s important I be her. My mom knows about the counselor. I told her it was a good call but she wanted to know more. She asked if I told the counselor about “my problem” I told her it’s not a problem and this is who I need to be. So family will not accept. I would love to go to the party in what I’m wearing now but it would shock everyone and kids are present. I’m wearing a pink mini skirt and a pink long sleeve Nike shirt. So cute! I will wear the pink shirt and ripped up jeans to the party. Skinny jeans. My hair will also be fixed up like a woman’s. Nails done and all the bling! No makeup (don’t have any anyway) I will probably get talked about but that’s ok. I will present in actions how I feel. It’s always weird with my family I’m always looked at as the Black Sheep. 
 

Love

I's another dreary and off and on rainy day in Nebraskaland, but i'm on cloud nine! ( pun intended, lol!) The day before yesterday I was talking to a couple of customers at work about false eyelashes. I said that I'm afraid to try them. Yesterday when I got off work my leader told me that someone had called earlier and said that they wanted to give me some makeup. I had no clue about why anyone would want to do that. I did some shopping after clocking out and as I was about to walk out the door another co-worker said that he had something for me at customer service. It was a beautiful cosmetic case filled with false eyelashes, mascara, eyeliner, blush, eyeshadow and eyeshadow brushes. She also included a card explaining that she wanted to something special for me and hoped that it made my day. Well it didn't, it made my month!! I still can't get over this! She even signed the card. Never in my wildest dreams would I thought this would happen. This is the cosmetic case.

@BrandiBri Wow! Looks like you made quite a good impression.  That is so thoughtful of the person that did this for you.  Sounds like you might have a fun weekend experimenting with the falsies and makeup.  Have a wonderful day! Hugs!

"Good morning ladies"! 

 

This is how my wife, and I were greeted this morning in the kitchen as we prepared coffee pots for the group here at the couples retreat with friends. We both had our backs turned to the main room and dining counter. My hair was down and I'm dressed in a sleeveless oversized tee shirt and baggy workout pants.

 

I know I said I wouldn't be around for a few days buy I couldn't keep this to myself.

 

Hugs for y'all from Southern Missouri

Emily, 

 

Thats horrible news, I hope your company has or finds a workplace grief counseling team. 

 

Since I’m not out to any of the people on this couples retreat, it was a huge inner smile ? I’m putting it in my journal t share with my wife when I come out to her in a few weeks.

Good Morning!  Today is the first appointment to those I need to complete for my surgery Wednesday. A Covid19 test then self isolation until the procedure.  The test is an internal swan of my deep sinus cavity.  A 30 second procedure but freaking 30 seconds of anything uncomfortable is an eternity!  It’s not going to be fun but oh well.  I NEED this surgery!  
 

In other news I received word the divorce is final and legal as of June 19th.  My Ex and I are planning a party!  Lol

Its one huge step closer to ending this chapter of Shawns life and starting my new life as Shawna.  There is not much left holding me back from moving away to go be with my best friend and soulmate Patti Anne.

 

Time for my morning coffee and makeup routine!  
Have a wonderful day and safe holiday weekend!

Shawna, I hope all goes well for you!

 

Good Morning Everyone! Enjoy your coffee and enjoy your Sunday!

Shawna that’s great news I’m so happy to hear that. Well not the part about the self isolation and the covid test lol. I have to say that is a first for me holding a divorce party with your spouse haha, but that is good you ladies are on good terms.

 

just got up I actually slept in till 6am lol. It would not break my heart one bit if I didn’t do a thing today and tomorrow. I’m am completely drained mentally and physically. I don’t know why but my dysphoria has been horrible lately but oh well such is life

Whom ever cooked up the covid test must be a masochist.  Oh lets do a test where we shove a q-tip up the nose and try to touch the brain. No thank you.

 

Cooler today. forecast of 58. right now, 40 and cloudy. yucky day outside so far. 4 more days of work until a 5 day weekend. going to have Thurs-Mon off. I so need this break. With all the stress that I have had lately. It will be good to decompress some.

 

Have a great Sunday.

Hugs

I've done that. Apparently the inside of my sinus cavities are ticklish. Who knew?

 

Best of luck sweetie!

      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.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.
