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 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.

      Good evening @Ashley0616,   I just got offline with HP tech support trying to get my printer tool box icon locked to my tool bar. This is one of the most important features of my printer that I like because it keeps track of ink, paper, and scanned documents. I'm diffidently not a computer geek.   I'll catch up with the other bookmarks next week. We leave to go home for the Easter Holiday with our families. Saturday with her side, and Sunday with my side. What's odd about that is I'm out to more of her side and they're reluctantly supportive. My side on the other hand are less supportive, and my sister just under me in age will not acknowledge my being there. She will be constantly moving to keep from dealing with me. I'm dead to her.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I used to follow baseball and the team I would cheer for is Boston Red Sox. My favorite player was Papi. He was an awesome guy and even held a child during the National Anthem. I haven't watched baseball for a long time. It just died off to me.

      That stinks that nothing transferred, and no bookmarks were saved!

      I'm doing patches for now but I think soon I'll go to shots because it's hard to alternate when you are doing two xx patches at once. Unless she gives me Estradiol and progesterone

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      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?
