Good morning everyone 

 

Im taking a small day trip today. I am going to briefly see a friend. She will be getting her surgery in a little over a week.  Unfortunately neither of us can afford to get too close for fear of covid. She has to be extremely careful due to her upcoming surgery and i for a visit with an ENT that specializes in issues of voice and throat.  

 

Im actually going to borrow a special sewing machine to fix a sail.

 

Ah coffee is done. Have a great day.

Hi everyone! Pancakes at Village Inn this morning. A little treat! Anyway today I feel especially girly so I put on one of my sun dresses. I styled my hair to look cute and I’m leaving my gold nail polish on. It’s hard to look authentic but I do my best. 

A GIFT (Amazing Story) 

 

A gift of 100 dollars was given to me from a complete stranger on Sunday! This lady in the mall prayed for me and told me God loved me and I am very special to Him. I was at the mall at this time and my Ex and son came walking in. My Ex looked down and quickly walked by while my teenage son waived at me and smiled. I opened up to this lady about my Ex hating me and then right in front of her she ignores me. The conversation started with how the world is and somehow it got personal. She was asking God who she could bless! This is an amazing thing that of all the people there she chose me! She was thinking of the man that was there with a broken arm in a cast but it was me instead! So with all the crazy things going in the world and all the people in the world I was chosen to receive a gift from God! We all are loved and this could happen to anyone! 
 

Everyone here has been amazingly sweet to me! I am on a journey of healing. I believe this was a sign of that. 
 

Blessings to all of you! 
 

Love

Just had my day made. I was out working in on the bike. when I heard a roar over head. Looking up I see an US Air Force B-1B bomber fly over. Wings back and everything. it was so freaking cool. I texted my oldest, he said FE Warren is having there air show this weekend. Now to really make my week a B-52 needs to fly over. Just got a text from my son. The B-1b is from Ellsworth AFB, Were I was stationed. I was there when we first  got the bones.

Tori. There are more kind people in the world then unkind. These people hide and we need to help them come out. It’s easy to judge someone based on skin, dress, their body, voice, mannerisms, and you can pretty much pick what you want to hurt someone but being kind you have to look over all of that and release your inner rainbow and see that no color in the rainbow wants to be the only color. Who would want a one color rainbow? Judging is a fast escape and a cowardly move. Some people walked by and saw my toes painted and pointed and laughed at me. I said nothing. I just let them walk by.  This world needs to see until we can love one another without judging we will never move forward. There is no one exactly like someone else so why do we want people to be like us? Be yourself and no one can judge you but you.

Going to start my day at Burger King. I have to go grocery shopping today. Last night I went to the 5 and below store. I bought a sun dress and a mini skirt. Only 10.00! 
 

I will start working next week at my retail job. They gave me 16 hours. This will help with bills. I still have off Mon, Tues, and Friday. I hope I can handle wearing a mask all shift. 
 

Next week will hopefully be talking to the CPS Worker on the case against my ex. I hope to hear good news. I feel free right now. I’m sitting in my patio in my Grey mini and a black shirt. I a

I took a long walk to the interstate bridge last night. I go there when I want to be alone. I listened to music and danced in the bridge. It was a freeing time! Some truckers honked at me to! Lots of trucks late at night. 
 

Time to soon go get breakfast and start my work day. I hope I can be an inspiration to my customers and show them the kindness they deserve. We are all struggling and we all could use a helping hand and I am glad to be that for them. Not all are nice to me but so is life. 
 

Most gender me over the phone as female. I am just for fun tracking the calls that don’t. Only 2 people mis gendered me over the phone. Today is going to be a good day! 
 

Love to all!

Good morning, everyone!  (actually bedtime for me here)  I haven't posted on Morning Coffee for a while because I didn't have much new/news to share .. but!

TODAY!  I finally, Finally, FINALLY had my first therapy session.  And it was wonderful! 

I have a great therapist .. she let me upack 50+ years of baggage (well we ran out time .. but she actually let me go long past our :50 session), and she wants to see me weekly.

Still dealing with my wife's anxiety about me making progress, but I am hoping she will come along at some point (my therapist suggested this also).


THANK YOU to everybody on this Forum who have strongly encouraged therapy as an initial step.  It gave me the courage and determination to finally take that step.  HUGS for everyone❣️

Hi all.  I'm still alive and kicking.  Absent but not gone.

Still just adjusting to life on the other side of the country after the big move and setting up a new life here in Oregon.  Unpacking, waiting for furniture to be delivered and now working at my new job just this week.  There is the crappy 2 hour commute one way for a month before the local 15 minute away VA hospital opens their Biomed dept. back up.  But all in all its going very well.

 

THEE Biggest news is I finally received my legal name and gender marker change this past Wednesday.  I am now legally Shawna Leigh and female.

The process was said to take several weeks so I filled out my paperwork and mailed it late Sunday evening.  In hopes to get it going soon. They called me a couple days later on Tuesday with a court date either that afternoon or the next day.  Holy crap that is fast admin.  Well I was at work 2 hours away so I opted for the next day.

 

@Patti Anne wanted to be there for me so we went for the 1pm appointment.  Waiting maybe 10 minutes for them to call me in.  Patti was unable to go in with me which was disappointing at the time.  The court room was empty and I had just walked in carrying all my papers to prove residency, surgery, etc.. and just received instructions from the Bailiff where to sit.

This is when the judge calls out, "Your all set."

I'm I stop walking and said, "That's it?  I'm all set???"

He says, "Yep, all set."

I say thank you and turned back around.  Maybe a total of 15 seconds inside the court room.

Now THATS fast justice IMHO.

 

However we had to wait 30 minutes for the signed copy to come down to get my own official copies for other agencies but all in all it was super fast.

Its did not even hit me until that evening what I actually had happen.

Its amazing to realize a dream come true and it happening so fast I did not have time to let it sink in.

 

Patti Anne went and got me a small cake and we had a small birthday party of sorts as it was my first day as a legal women and one legally called Shawna Leigh.

Congratulations and Happy Birthday @ShawnaLeigh!

 

I'm glad things are working out for the both of you after your move. It's good to hear that the two of you are happy and finding these little victories along the way!

 

Hugs!

Damn, Sis. Shawnaleigh Why am I always last to know these things. LOL. Congrats on finally becoming a woman. That is one reason I have looked a moving to Oregon. The name change is so easy, there.

However the gender marker change is easy here on your license in WY. Just need to have your Dr. fill out a paper saying they are treating you and you are female. Take it to the DMV and get it changed. piece of pie easy as cake. LOL.

Happy Birthday @ShawnaLeigh and congratulations on the successful name and gender change. It wasn’t a long court appearance but the memory of it will be with you the rest of your life.

 

All The Best,

Congratulations, Shawna!  I remember floating 3 feet above the ground and looking again and again in disbelief at my papers and license for days after I got mine changed.

Good evening ladies and gentlemen! Relaxing after work and binge watching “I am Jazz”.
Thinking about painting my toes, but not too hard lol. Just got to decide what color to do.

@ShawnaLeigh, divine bovine, girl! It doesn't seem that long ago you were just starting your journey... This is a major milestone! Congratulations to you! I am so happy for you! You are an inspiration to me.  Things have been going so slowly for me, but I hope Maryland will be a great place for the new me. Hearing about your progress helps keep me going.

      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

      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?

      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".

      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.
