Well, I’m in the waiting room having coffee and just completed all the digital paperwork. Met lots of other people like myself. Great experience so far. Will be with him (Dr. Stiller) shortly?

It's terribly hot today here in Georgia.I had to go to pick up some of my medication and trust you me, I was melting. The face mask was making my glasses fogged up, I could hardly see (poor me), sweat galore all over my face and my bras. All my no make up makeup melted and I looked at the car's window to see that my lipstick was all smeared with the mask.

So ladies, do not wear a lipstick (yes mine was also red) with a mask, not a good look if you sweat.

 

I am back home now, imprisoned in my room and enjoying my cup of tea while I read your posts.

Good afternoon everyone 

 

today has been a relaxing busy day.  After coffee I met with a good friend and made arrangements to see him again this afternoon and he is going to help me tomorrow morning.  I am going to see about moving my boat to a less expensive marina. He manages both of them.  The upside to the one I’m leaving is I can walk to it.  Downside it on the high end of the cost and it’s right on the ICW so there is a lot of current and a lot of rough wakes.  Upside of the new one is the cost and it’s not directly on the ICW so no current and no wakes.  The down side is the entrance is shallow and I could easily run aground.  Tomorrow morning is a check to ensure I can get in and therefore out by watching the tides.  My boat has a deep keel and needs just under 6 feet of water.  My remaining alternative is to just anchor in the waterway. Up side, no cost, downside wakes and getting to and from the boat.  Oh well.  No one ever said boat ownership was free.

It is a big day for me. Going into the city in about 10 minutes.  I will be meeting with an image consultant.  Then early this afternoon will be seeing a new psychiatrist for the first time so I can start arranging for my bottom surgery hopefully sometime next year.

Try washing your glasses gently with some dish soap. This leaves a clear film that prevents the fogging from occurring.

Thanks Dinaki

Just got back home and made myself a coffee, it is 3:40 in the afternoon.

How is everybody

I've had a good day, Carrie.  I just finished writing about it in my blog.  How about you?  It's after 11 here on the U.S. Pacific coast; almost time for bed.  Contemplating one more toke and a half a cigg before bed.  I'm trying to wean off the ciggs for good.  You would think if a person only smokes 5 a day, might as well quit, eh?  Not that easy; they're my friend when I need a break.  I'm pretty resolved on it now though.  Don't want to smoke and take E together.  I'm giving myself until my B-day.

Hi Tori

Sorry was talking to my dad to give him the news from today which was fantastic.

Hit Tori

Glad you had a good day!   I know how hard it is to stop I have smoked since primary school.  You can smoke on the medication but it is not recommended though I always have.  My doctor told me at the beginning to had half an aspirin if I was going to smoke because it would help to stop the blood from thickening too much.

I saw my psychiatrist for the first time to day and he told me I would not be seeing him again. 

While that may sound bad it was wonderful.  He wrote me a letter of support form SRS surgery.  He said many of the doctors in Thailand know him so it is a great step.  LOL I just need to find a doctor now! ? ?

With lots of love

Carrie

I went into the city today this picture is of my in front of the Queen Victoria Building which is in the centre of the city and is very old as you might guess from the picture.  This was just before I met with my image consultant which went terribly well. ?

The other picture is of my at my local chess club.

Carrie, sounds like your trip was a good one.

 

Willow, I hope that the new marina works out well for you and your boat.

 

Tori, At 5 a day is it really worth it? When my wife quit she went cold turkey. She was about a pack a day. One day she just told me to hide her cigarettes. it has been over 30yrs. 

Well there is a slight change of plans for this weekend. Instead of my wife going to pick up my grandsons, my middle son is going to bring them here. (We think he wants to get out of the heat a little) mid 90s there low-mid 80s here. Which is good as I want to talk to him about my possible move.

Hi, the new marina is a little tricky to get up the creek but as long as you watch the depth, it will work just fine.

If you run aground, at least you're not up the creek! ?

That's how I did it on my 3rd try. Tried gum and patches first. It was not easy, but almost 20 years smoke free now.

 

Hope all of you in the USA have a wonderful Independence Day!

Hi everyone! 
 

Been awhile since I’ve been on this site. Life is going ok right now. If ok is your stuck in the middle of a CPS case and rent is going up? I’m actually trying to curb my caffeine intake. Not easy for this girl! 
 

Recently I purchased some gold, black, and pink nail polish. I’m wearing the gold right now. Big step from just the clear I’ve only used. 
 

Working at home still but maybe other job (retail) will be opening soon. I guess will be cleaning and doing other things when I come back. Wearing masks and gloves. I actually get anxiety wearing the masks. Anyone else with me on that? 
 

So 2 of my children are now on depression meds. I hope this helps. Poor babies ? I love them all so much and never wanted them to have to face what their facing. I would of stayed in the marriage and worked it out but she didn’t want to. I don’t know if the divorce is the whole reason for the depression though. 
 

I see my kids tomorrow from 10 to 4. I asked for later but ex wouldn’t agree. Those are holiday hours. Hope you all are doing well and have a wonderful 4th! 
 

Love and kisses ?

 

Tessa

      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.   
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      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. 
    • Ashley0616
      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

      Go Cleveland Guardians!  I love baseball and I loved playing it when I was younger.

      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?
