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!

      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?

      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. 
    • Ivy
      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

      April sounds fun..I keep some boy jeans to visit mom in..fir now   hugs

      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 😆
