Well up date on my interview I was supposed to have this afternoon. I never got a call. zip nothing nada. Have no clue why I didn't get a call. If it happens it happens. Not going to cry over it, I already do that when I even think about it.

Kymmie I’m sorry you didn’t get the call you thought you’d get.  Trying to get a job or change jobs can be very trying to say the least.  Don’t let it get you done another one, better will come your way.

 

Group went quite well tonight.  We had 14 participants.  While not the best turn out it wasn’t the worst.  We talked about a lot of things.

 

talk to you in the morning with my coffee.

Good morning

 

Happy Independence Day!  On my mother’s side I have direct ancestors who came to “the new world” in the 1600s, and fought in the Revolutionary War.  My father’s family was forced out of Scotland in the early 1800s because the English were worried there would be a rebellion to reseat a Scottish King.  
 

Nice cup of black coffee this morning.  Need to get supplies and gas.  If the weather stays as is we are looking to take the sailboat out onto the ocean tomorrow.  That will be a first for me but it is exactly why I bought this particular boat.  Big enough but not too big.  
 

Stay safe be careful with fireworks.

It is not that I need a job. I am gainfully employed right now. I have also put in for a position at the home office. still nothing there either. but it is the holiday so I really wasn't expecting any response. I was looking to move to begin the new chapter in my life.

 

blue clouds and sunshine  right now only forecast in the 70s. I do look at probably closer to 80s

 

Have a safe and happy 4th everyone.

{RANT Warning!}

 

Well, I am giving up on summer here this year!  Eff it!  I have no hope any more.  Daily temps are still mostly in the 60's and it's still cloudy and drizzly most days.  Here it is July and the weather is no better than it was in March.  It's so gloomy this morning I have to have the lights on.  Hmpft!  Gawd, I hate Oregon weather!  grrrrrr

I'd happily send you ten degrees or so from here if I could. On the plus side, I've apparently become exothermic with HRT as I'm perfectly comfortable in temperatures that would have had me gasping for breath five years ago. Susan's miserable though, so you can have the ten degrees and I can put on warmer clothes.

 

Hugs!

Hope everyone is having a good day. I sent an email coming out to my parents last evening. They got back to me at noon today. They were shocked but are 100% supportive. I’m so pleasantly surprised, I thought it would take them some time to come around. Finally stopped the happy tears flood about 30 minutes ago.  Next is my little sis. 2 1/2 out of 3 so far. Hugs! Hopefully I can nudge my wife over to fully onboard soon.

Happy 4th, everyone.  Mine started awful then turned wonderful.  My lifelong bestie from back home called and talked for over an hour.  It's been months since we hooked up.  He had gotten the new number for another bestie that I lost track of years ago.  Her and I texted and are phoning tomorrow to catch up on the missed years.

Hi Tori 

My best friend married my youngest brother but we have lost track over the years. ?

I'm not a big fan of the 4th. My dogs are such a handful of stressed out furriness, that me and my partner spend most of the evening doing doggie damage control. Which is exactly what is starting to happen right now.

Well. The ex actually gave me 4 to 11pm. I was able to enjoy the 4th of July with kids. It gave us time to see fireworks. We drove around and had a lot of fun! When I dropped them off my ex and my oldest daughter were sitting in the driveway playing cards. I said happy 4th but she didn’t comment back. 
 

I’m sitting in the dark in a pink shirt and a blue mini skirt. I feel very comfortable. I hear a few fireworks in the distance but mostly quiet. I love sitting out here late in the evening. 
 

Took pics at the lake today. Got a beautiful butterfly picture! Plus I’m working on my coloring book. I’ll post my art when I’m done. Spent some time at my moms. I guess you could say it was a good day! 
 

Love and kisses?

Hello everybody! Hope everyone had a safe and happy Fourth with all fingers still attached. ? 

I had to work and it was a REALLY bad day. Relaxing today and thinking about going to the store for some retail therapy.

My wife and ate out with four friends on the socially-distanced patio at a local restaurant, last night.  We haven't seen them since last year.  I got an interesting comment: "Your face looks thinner."  Well, I guarantee that I haven't lost weight.  If my face is different, it must be because it is more feminine!

 

I didn't think my face was still changing that much.  It has been three and a half years since I started HRT.  But our friend noticed a difference in the last year.  That made my weekend! ?

Hi everyone 

 

I hope everyone had a safe and happy fourth. I had a wonderful day today.  We took our sailboat out today.  Where we live and keep our boat it takes 3 ½ to 4 hours just to get to the closest inlet.  But really worth it today.  Once we were on the ocean, I put up the sails and we sailed for several hours.  Went out past the 3 mile limit. Went for a swim. Ate three meals on the boat .  Saw a sting ray breach and a pod of dolphins.  
 

a really great day.  Even my wife who often hates the boat had a great time.

Acknowledging how much the pandemic has changed my habits.  The stores here in NJ are open once again, and still, I haven't been shopping.  Before the lockdown one of my fondest activities to shop, yet now, it seems to have lost some that previous luster.  The upside is that my my Macy's charge card has a zero balance, something else that is quite unusual for me.

 

I'm thinking a little shopping trip for me is well overdue!

Good morning 

 

Ah coffee!  The morning elixir.  
 

Thanks Carrie!

 

Sally, Things never got real bad here.  Then they started reopening things.  We even went to our favorite restaurant twice.  Then Memorial Day hit and oh my gosh. Our numbers in our little county have gone up and up.  We only go out on our boat or Walmart pick-up. We don’t consider anything else safe.  
 

looks like a beautiful day today, and yet we’ve had a clap of thunder and a rain warnin.  Strange!

      Well said.    Although this so-called Project 2025 will not affect me directly in an immediate sense, it sends a signal to equivalent minded people and political parties around the world that it is okay to exclude minorities and indeed, to persecute them.   In my humble opinion, the far-right politicians know damn well that there is a very large cohort of less-than-intelligent people out there who are not capable of critical thinking and believe every skerrick of dog-whistling, fearmongering, "they're-out-there-to-get-you" rhetoric. Pander to their rural and village attitudes and you're on a winner!    Correcting them with logic and science won't work; they just double down and get louder with their petulance on full display.

      Just waking up so I'm in my pajamas - blue/white madras shorts, a navy blue t-shirt and my sleep bra with sleep-rated breast forms.   Thank you @Susan R for telling us about your mastectomy bra and forms fitting experience before your BA surgery and how sleeping in the bra/forms helped with the dysphoria.    First, hearing about your courage to get fitted gave me the confidence and courage to go out in public.   And, second, finding sleep mastectomy bras and sleep-rated breast forms (I found a set on eBay for a good price) has been a tremendous boost to my feeling comfortable in my pajamas and nightgowns and tamping down my dysphoria and dysmorphia.

      Germany has more castles than there are McDonald's in the United States. Yep, you heard that right. Germany is estimated to have 25,000 castles, and there are around 13,000 McDonald's locations in America.   In Washington state, there's a real-life law stating it's illegal to kill bigfoot and other sasquatch-like creatures.

      DREAD f you’re anticipating something positive, you’re probably motivated to summon all your patience to wait for it—and sometimes for extended time periods. It may be counter-intuitive, yet in certain instances such waiting can itself be gratifying. Consider Carly Simon’s song “Anticipation,” the old Heinz ketchup ads, and—especially—recent research pointing in the opposite direction as regards awaiting something highly aversive. In this post I won’t be reviewing ketchup commercials, but I will be exploring some intriguing research on dread-infused anticipation.

      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.
