Good morning All. Coffees on.

[Willow]

 It's a beautiful mornin'
I think I'll go outside a while,
An just smile.
Just take in some clean fresh air, boy
Ain't no sense in stayin' inside
If the weather's fine and you got the time.
It's your chance to wake up and plan another brand new day.

 

Cool, a bit windy but sunny and clear.  What a great day to be alive even if my dysphoria is running rampant right now.  Really feeling the need to take another step forward.  Good thing I have an appointment with my therapist this week.

Another great day today was. Not only coming out to my wife but just being able to enjoy. Just waiting for my evening coffee, now.

Good morning all. I was up early this morning, coffee and breakfast over all before 8.  It used to be daily, but I am getting lazy these days

Well chilly here so the coffee is good and warming. Still on the high from yesterday of a totally understanding and supportive wife. Although dreading work today. as it is our annual inventory, which will totally suck rotten apples. As management I will be doing discrepancies. Oh joy

 

Have a great day, all.

 

Hugs,

Kymmie

Hi everyone!  Another beautiful day here.  No breeze, perfect blue sky.  Birds are singing.  Coffee was good this morning as it got a little chilly overnight.  I had to toss a a quilt on the bed.  

 

Kymmie i I don’t envy you taking inventory I had over 40 years of inventories.  Some went well, some didn’t .  Mostly clerical errors that I had to find and fix.

Good morning everyone. I'm drinking my extra large coffee as I wait for my wife's doctors appointment to end. I just got back from a week away in Provincetown, Massachusetts at Fantasia Fair. I had a great time and connected with some new friends. Today is day 14 of my new phase of life. I am so grateful I am living full time as my authentic self. It's great to be me! 

Enjoy your day!

CONGRATS, Julie.

 

Hoping one day I will make it where you are. First hurdle is done. but the race is far from over. Have my last session with one of my counselors today. She is moving out of town. She has started a referral so I can continue to see a gender specialist. Maybe get on HRT. ?

 

Hugs all

Julie, too bad we couldn't have met up on your way home.  Maybe next time. 

 

Jani

[Julie J]

That would have been awesome Jani. A great way to finish a wonderful trip. Maybe next year.

Julie, A little off topic. Being from London, ONT. CA. I wonder if you know of a little town (May not be so little anymore) south of London Called, Lambeth?

 

Kymmie

[Julie J]

Good morning Kymmie. I live five minutes from Lambeth. It is now part of London. It has grown a bit but is still small. It was annexed into London a number of years ago. 

 Now I'm going to have a quick shower then head over to Archie's restaurant on Wellington Rd for breakfast on my own. It's time all the girls met Julie. They have great coffee there. ☕

[Charlize]

Well i'm about to get a second cup.  Happy birthday Gizmo.  Best to Julie enjoy Archie's.  Enjoy the Alps RGA.  I used to love Earl Grey.

The plumbing was frustrating.  Fixed one leak.....found another so i never made the woods.  Hopefully today i'll be down there setting up for sugar season.  A year of branches breaking as well as time itself makes for a great many repairs.  

 

Hugs,

 

Charlize

Good morning everyone had my one cup for the day.  Another fine day here.  Hard to believe a few short weeks ago we were having a hurricane followed by flooding.

 

Willow

[Cyndee]

I usually go through a couple of pots of coffee in the morning (small carafe's). 

 

Rained a little over night here, Indian summer has faded, we had a nice dry spell and warm afternoons, very nice, still nice fall colors here, the wind expected with the next system will drop and scatter many leaves.

 

Enjoy your day everyone.

Rainy this morning but will clear.  Getting colder though.  Heading out soon for electrolysis.

[Julie J]

Just finished enjoying my breakfast at Archie's in London, Ontario. ?

I'm texting to say that the wonderful waitresses who have known me as male for most of the past 28 years are not only accepting, they are very happy for me. I'm feeling pretty good about coming and introducing them to the new and improved me! Now to finish my 5th coffee and then go shopping! 

Hugs & Smiles

This is me enjoying another 1st... breakfast at a well know, familiar breakfast haunt for my wife and I. She'll have an interesting breakfast next time she's in.

Well the thermometer outside shows a cold 48. So coffee is a must this AM. Working today, closing . Ugh. Luckily on Nov 4 we start closing at 8.

 

Julie, reason I asked. My grandparents lived in Lambeth. On the street leading to the Ice rink. On the top of the hill.

Good morning all!☕?

You look fantastic Julie!

You are looking better than me early morning Julie. Well breakfast over, now for some art!

Morning all!  Having my morning cup o'joe before going to work.

Have a good one!

hi,  I've been awake for hours today.  Much earlier than normal.  You see today is the third anniversary (if you can call it that) of the death of my 7 year old Granddaughter.  She died from Childhood Cancer/Brain tumor.  She managed to fight for 18 months, through 3 brain surgeries, Chemo, Proton radiation, standard radiation and still a tumor that has a high cure success rate became very aggressive in her case.  she was finally accepted into an experimental treatment with the caution that it had been known to be both good and bad 50-50.  She was in the bad group.  we had 8 more weeks with her.

 

For all of you that see the advertisements asking for support for St Judes, I would like to share with you one simple fact.  They had the doctor with the highest success rate for her type of cancer and yet couldn't even be bothered to answer my daughters letters and pleas for help.  The rest of what they say about never paying them is true but honestly that is not typically the parents main concern, they just want their child to live.

 

It's going to be a tough day around here, good thing I already have a therapy appointment.
