If you want to read Winter’s Grove - You have to search under “Grove” If you see Tessa. That’s my book. I love to write! Sometimes I think it’s all I really have to give to this world! 
 

It seems I’m always helping others but no one is there for me. When someone needs something I’m there. If you need a laugh or a shoulder to cry on or even someone just to listen I will be that for you. I’m not selfish with my time or heart. I will allow you to scream and cry. I will never judge you. Someone once told me I might be an Earth Angel. Angel’s are sent to specific people to help them and they rarely think of themselves. This describes me! Even my customers say that I have a sweet calming voice and I am almost always thought of as female over the phone. In fact one customer asked me if they could just talk. My trans daughter always will call me to let out her frustrations. I give my money and time away to help others in need. Just the other day a child at the lake was asking me to take his picture because he caught a fish. His mom was there and I would never do this without permission. Mom said no. The boy wanted someone to be proud of him. I was there for him. 
 

My Aunt was about to make a financial decision that was set up by a fraudster. I saved her 5,000 dollars! She let me live in her house for free a couple years ago. So, people do help me. I need to see the blessings in my life and take stock of them! 
 

Love to all

Hi,  sorry I’ve missed a few days.  Turns out the antihistamines I as prescribed has kept me out of it, dizzy, asleep confused for these last several days. I hope to start coming out of that as today is my last day on medications   
 

thanks for the good thoughts. I plan on talking to my doctor about getting an epinephrine pen or similar. Much faster acting than Benadryl and more potent.  Everything I’ve read indicated I was going n full blown anaphylaxis, I couldn’t even remember my doctors name or think clearly about anything by the time I got to his office.  Yes you should learn all you can about emergency response/first aid.

 

time for another nap.

Belated congratulations?

 

Not too much longer now. Make sure to do everything your doctor says to speed healing. You DON'T want to spend a lot of time sitting on a fresh wound in your undercarriage. Trust me on that one. I couldn't sit for WEEKS.

 

Hugs!

My ex wife came up this afternoon,she was high.Came to visit my two daughters whom I had them with.My oldest noticed she smelled like pot,This is why I have full custody of my daughters because of her drug use.Called the cops and took her to jail,found marijauna and meth in her car too.

Had a great day today my wife and I went shopping and ended up buying matching bicycles. I have always enjoyed riding but gave it up several years ago. We were trying to figure out more things to do together so we’re gonna take up cycling together. We did go for a short ride and now my bit hurts lol.

Mika, good that you got your daughters away from her. With both Pot and Meth. She is on the downward slide.

 

I can't stand that all these states are legalizing pot. It maybe legal in the state but still federally illegal. period end of story.

 

So Shawna you have been single for almost a week now. Congrats , My sister. Now once you get healed from your surgery you will be free to make the move. west.

 

Had to go up stairs to listen to some Seger. some songs I just need to hear to tell myself things will get better. Kind of decompress. thankfully work was slower today. we were able to get some of the incoming freight from Friday and Saturday put away. Then got home, put new wipers and a wiper arm on the wife's car. played a little minecraft.  We had breakfast for dinner. eggs bacon and waffles. However mine were cold. the wife must have made mine first not caring if I ate cold dinner or not. Sometimes I just wonder if she does crap like that to spite me. she drives me crazy sometimes.

 

Get to sleep in some tomorrow, as I close. closing an hour earlier with the holiday.

 

Take care everyone,

@ShawnaLeigh Sounds like fun filled month. I bet that week with Patti will be one of the best experiences of your life!

 

My wife and I met online in Aug. 1996 then we both flew to Sacramento and had 3 wonderful days in Jan. 1997 and it was THE BEST TIME EVER.

Hey beautiful people,

 

Today it’s suppose to rain all day. Only suppose to get up to 66. I’m a little sad today I don’t get to see my kids. Easter my ex took the kids to her boyfriends house and they had plans for Easter. My kids wanted to spend time with there dog that just had puppies. They were keeping the dog at his house. I gave up my holiday to her but did not make the arrangement that we would switch. I kinda thought it was just assumed. Well, It wasn’t. I told her in a nice civil text I would like kids today. She text back in an uncivil text that I gave up my holiday and I wasn’t going to take hers. Also my son wanted some food from Sonic. He told me mom said ok. He lied and she screamed at me for that. When we were married she would get mad at me if I took the kids to McDonald’s or got them junk food. Now 6 years later she still is trying to control me. I hate this! I talked with a help line through my work and she said no one controls you. It’s you that give them the control. Yes, I believe that but when a person owns the car they can take it away. She has full physical custody. My control is not getting angry with her and starting a fight. We fought in our marriage over things just like this. I refuse to engage in a fight with her because it always ends in court. I will miss my children this Holiday but now I know never to assume ever again. My ex doesn’t have a heart or care about me this is obvious and so sad?. It’s not that I want her to love me but I want her to respect my position. She doesn’t even respect me enough to call me Dad to them. She doesn’t know about Tessa but she does know about my female side and she also tells the children that I’m wrong and crazy for feeling that way and if I ever dress like a woman they are to call the police or her. I will stand strong and not let her get the best of me. I won’t beg and plead like she wants me to do. I did this in our marriage when she withheld sex from me just to be mean. I am not a dog and I won’t be treated like one. I’m s

I’m strong and beautiful and I won’t let anyone have control of my heart or body. The rain matches how I feel. ?. My mom invited me over at noon. I’m happy about that but I can’t be-fully Tessa over there. I will just have to try to make it through this day. 
 

Posted some chapters in my book. It’s a great story! I have submitted it into a contest to see if I can win 1,000.00 dollars! I once won a Big Wheel and third place in a poetry contest! 
 

Be safe. Have a wonderful day loves !

Was she violent this time? Did she threaten you or the kids? I'm sorry she did that, and that she's that far gone, she obviously doesn't want to see her kids again, cuz if she wants to even be considered capable of being in the kids presence again, she needs to be clean, or face her rights to see her kids taken away, on top of a restraining order, and possibly being locked away longer, instead of being able to live and get better. Jail is for animals, not for people with reason that can be reached or found, and it's not easy, never is. But I hate people relying upon the drug war to just toss people away. If a person is violent, then get them on the violence part, not cuz they smelt like smoke. The smoke ain't what's killing but meth can kill people. It can drive you literally crazy with unprescribed use.

No,her family is on my side with this.Her family can't stand her drug use too.They know I am a great father leading a positive example to my two daughters

Mind I ask why she used to begin with? I understand if it's too personal and I don't expect an answer, so no worries. I'm more glad your daughters are safe, but I still feel terrible for the circumstances, it's unfortunate. Hope your brightness keeps them more than well nurtured and safe.

MikaReich i would suggest that you look into Nar-Anon which is a support group for the family of drug users other than alcoholics. They can be found at: 

nar-anon.org 

While we cannot get another sober we can help ourselves and others to get through the wreckage an addict leaves behind.

 

Hugs,

Good morning everyone.  Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend, for those in the US, hope your Memorial Day long weekend continues to be great.

 

My wife and my dad both have severe allergies and carry an EPI pen with them at all times.  Just want to add to the discussion that if you ever administer EPI to someone, you still need to get them to a hospital/clinic immediately.  The injection is just to buy them enough time to get proper medical treatment, it is not a cure to their allergic reaction.  Once the drug wears off, there is a good chance the reaction could recur.

 

Have a great day everyone! Hugs!

I know all of this is extremely emotionally painful for you, and I have read many variants of this same story many times over the years. Let me encourage you and everyone else to read [Just Lee's] recent blog posting. It is exceptionally insightful and I am sure everyone can gain the benefits from Lee's experience and find much that maybe helpful in their own lives.

      The number is relative to method of deliver, the time of the dose, and when the blood is drawn. However, I do want to keep away from DVT and other potential issues. I assume I may be getting backed down from my current dose, but my doc told me to stick with the higher dose, so? I also wonder if this has anything to do the my breast growth and mental changes that have been happening over the past few years, like I have some estrogen sensitivity so a little goes a long way or something? I don't have enough data to postulate, but who knows!   With weekly, subcutaneous, shots you expect to see big swings of serum level estradiol from shot to peak to trough. My doctor is interested in mid-week testing (for E and T levels only), which would be post-peak blood serum levels but they will be higher than trough. Most, if not all, resources I've seen online is to measure at trough (which I might do just to do it next time) along with a SHBG, LH, and other metrics.   This is from transfemscience.org for Estradiol valerate in oil, which is very spiky compared to some other estradiol combinations. It's also for intramuscular, which will have a slower uptake and is usually dosed in higher volume due to the slower absorption rate from muscles. They don't have subcutaneous numbers, which I would expect to see similar spikes but higher levels at similar doses due to the relatively higher absorption rate direct from fat.   Are you doing pills, shots, or patches? And when you do get your levels checked are you getting that done when your levels are lowest or some other time?

      Both of my parents were from the “North Shore” of Boston.  My mother Lynn and my father Swampscot.  They had an early 1900s Scots-Irish New England diet.  My sister and I were born in the 40s in Ohio well away from New England seafood and in an area where food was more German and Polish.  My first experience with liver and onions was during basic training.  They ate salt cod but never forced us to eat it same with oysters.  My dad ate oysters but my mother wouldn’t.  Anyone who ever ate an oyster can figure that one out.  I grew up eating lamb.  My wife won’t touch it. I love brazed ox tail, again no way. And the list goes on.

      My mother was German, so yes, I think it was a cultural thing.  If I'd known you when we were cleaning out my mother's place, I could have sent you her "threat jar".

      Been taking it real easy.Another good neighbor of mine and his 15 year old son came over and cut down a couple dead trees on my property.Knew not to do it taking it easy.I had them put the wood near my fire pit in the back yard.Did it and happy where they put it.They knew I had stents put in and needed to take it easy

      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one.

      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
    • Ashley0616
      I don't see why not. I have worn forms since I came out. 
    • MaeBe
      I have never worn breastforms, but I assume as long as they don't aggravate your nipples you could.

      Every week I've been excited to take my shot, so it's never been an issue. Yesterday, however, I woke up and started my usual "slow roll" and then suddenly realized I had breakfast plans that I had to rush out the door for. After, it was straight into work calls, and then I got the notification from the doctor about things being too high and all the while my mind had completely slipped that I needed take my shot.   Given that I am not asking for medical advice, but sharing my journey, I will note my results: Estradiol at 447 pg/mL and Testosterone was 23 ng/dL, up and down from 26 pg/mL and 526 ng/dL respectively before treatment. Almost flipped the bit! The doc would like my Estradiol closer to 300 pg/mL, so we'll see what Monday's tests state.   Oh, and I teased the dinner with old soccer teammates and never updated the thread! It went well. There were a couple funny moments. One guy, who I was worried about their response, greeted me with "Hey, you've lost some weight!" 😎 And a friend who lives near me picked me up on the way to dinner exclaimed, after we learned one of the invitees might show up with a date, "Wait! We could have brought women?!" To which I instantly responded, "You kind of did, bringing me!" Everyone got a good laugh out of that. 😁

      To me there isn't that much difference other the measurement, which side the zipper is on and men's pants have bigger pockets. 
    • missyjo
      I hope this is not stupid question..I have yet to start n not sure if doc will approve..but once you start growing buds n such, can you still wear forms to get to the size you were?   I'm a dad, so when I start blossoms they will be smaller for a long time n probably need surgical augmented..that's fine. I don't want to go ddd to aa to ddd..   any ideas?   thank you

      I like them too.  We had them growing up.  But my father's family were Swedes.
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Oh my!  I guess it just goes to show how different tastes can be. Since we don't live near the ocean, Seafood is a rare luxury. We absolutely love pickled herring! Especially my husband and my GF, I guess it's a Ferman/Russian cultural thing.  But most of the kids like it too, and a jar wouldn't last in the pantry for long 😆
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      I think the key to that is just not minding eating the same thing repeatedly. Since we produce a lot of our own food here, we end up eating what is in season at the moment. So, when the yellow squash is ripening, we end up fixing squash 20 different ways. When the strawberries are ready, we eat lots of strawberries. It's kind of a different mindset to eat in season when it has become such a part of American culture but the grocery store has everything we want all the time. Like grapes in December.  My family does even things out a little bit by having a greenhouse so we have some fresh things in the winter, but it's not a 100% fix.
