Good morning everyone.

 

well, today isn't my Friday, it’s a Saturday.  I get 6 Saturdays and one Sunday every week.

Willow,

 

You are my Queen, I'm so looking forward to the day my calendar reads as yours does. April 8, 2023.

 

Love your writings,

@Mmindy thank you!  I’m glad I can add to your day.  I don’t always have much new to add.  In fact often times I start writing something and wind up deleting it or rewriting it when I don’t think it really works for the message I want to send.  Then again, I’ve still put my foot in the muck a few times without intent.

 

take care, be safe and keep us all together.

 

Hugs

I do this all the time even if it's just a sentence.

Good morning everyone! Had a small breakthrough with my wife this week. We did some online clothes shopping together earlier this week. First time I didn’t have to hide clothes shopping from my wife (at her request after I came out). Bought several cute tops. The first arrived yesterday with a bunch of my wife’s stuff. Tried it on and while she wasn’t anywhere near as excited as I was, she did provide me with some feedback. So put this one down as a small win. ?

 

Happy Friday everyone! Hugs!

Good morning everyone 

 

I hope you are staying safe and healthy.

 

Sara my wife and I went shopping together the first time before I went out in public.  We have continued to do so ever since.  We wear similar sizes so we do occasionally trade, or if she orders something online and it doesn’t fit, I get it.  Sometimes it won’t fit either of us and it just isn’t worth trying to return it so we donate it.  
 

the only problem I get is the occasional complaint about spending, but I guess that’s pay back for all the years that roll was reversed.  Glad you are making progress with your wife.

Thanks everyone! She's far from ready to see me in a dress, but it's still progress. :) Didn't think I'd ever get this far with her, just a couple weeks ago.

 

Willow, I do a bunch of online surveys and focus groups to earn gift cards for Visa, MC or Amazon, I use that to pay for clothes and makeup, so she can't complain about the spend, even though I make 2x what she makes and buy a lot less clothes than she does. Also, feel guilty spending money, as I have a wardrobe of clothes, guys clothes, but still they're functional.

 

We are also similar in size for tops, she is more endowed but, my chest is larger, so it evens out. While we take the same pant size in width, my inseam has many inches on hers, so her pants are capris on me. Hopefully at some point she feels comfortable enough to at least swap tops from time to time. Her style is different than mine, but she has some cute ones I wouldn't mind wearing. Baby steps though.

wow - how do you find the surveys - I'd love to earn a little extra money for all the lovely items I have been buying lately.

Shay, I find them online. Belong to groups like Ipsos. Most of the sites I do surveys for are Canadian, but there are definitely ones for US folks, just google online marketing surveys and I am sure you'll find some. I do a lot of them while sitting in front of the TV in the evening.

That's awesome Sara!  I'm just in the beginning and haven't come out to my wife yet but being able to clothes shop with her is a dream. #jealous #excitedforyou

You need to learn to have your own style dearest Shay, you need to be YOU. She may like red and you purple per example.

And that's without going into what color her skin is, what color her eyes are, etc... For example, gold does NOT look good on me. I'm very much a winter. My spouse is an autumn. She can wear browns and reds that look terrible on me where I look better in blues and whites. That's not even getting into differences in cuts and body shapes.

 

Strongly recommend clothes shopping with your partner though. I'm hoping that this weekend we can find a pair of shorts that doesn't fit my narrow butt like a tent. ?

 

Hugs!

Well something is drawing me to the clothes I was always envious of in the 1970's and the hippie look and also clothes along those lines as I know I was supposed to be that type of girl and those styles seem to be being worn by a lot of women. 

 

I need to learn more about colors and my body shape and what flatters me and what does not... another WHOLE world to learn about.

Which is why changing rooms have mirrors. Assuming we ever get to use them again. ?

 

Great fun! Especially when you have an, "I need this to live," moment about something you happen across in a shop.

Before becoming Willow I was conservative didn’t like bright colors.  Now, bright colors are all things I like.   Green, pink, orange and blues.  Red is my wife’s color so I leave that out.  At first I bought gray and dark blue until I found myself.

It is Pride week here in Nova Scotia.  I had a nice socially-distanced visit from a couple of trans friends today.  One identifies as bigender, and the other is a trans woman who has just started her transition.  We had a great conversation, getting caught up on what we've been up to since we last met, pre-covid. 

 

The bigender lady is in the air force, and has the support of her base commander to dress according to male or female uniform standards, as she feels, from day to day.  She was interviewed on the radio a couple of weeks ago, in connection with raising the transgender pride flag at the base.  It is nice to see such progress.

I'm glad you enjoyed yourself.  I'm sure it was nice to get out and socialize.  That is very affirming of the Canadian Air Force to allow one to switch uniforms from day to day.

Good Saturday morning (unless it’s your Monday in which case Ugh it’s Monday already) lol


Having my coffee

 

I spent too much time in the sun and heat yesterday.  Paid the price for it with heat exhaustion .   At least no sunburn.  Well, I need to get my day going.  
 

Stay safe and healthy

Mika, sounds like a fun day.

 

Well today was my Monday. Had to open. One of our entry level managers got a medical excuse to be out yesterday and today. Yet, her boy friend was in town. and a car show at Wyotech. She did request it off. And I see her driving her truck in the direction of the show. Somethings are not adding up. Even the boss says so. The boss wound up working a14+ hour shift both yesterday and today.

 

Today was a fun day for me. Yesterday we took a ride to a small town about 30 miles west for home made ice cream. It is a fairly loose gravel parking lot. We have our ice cream. Mississippi Mud. yum. We get on the bike go to take off the front wheel digs in and we lay the bike on its side. He woman me try and get it upright. my back sounds like rice krispies snap crackle and pop. I pull my back out. With help we got it back on two wheels and able to get it home.  Now my back is totaled. major pulled muscle lower right side. barely move. So, was able to sleep ok. Getting out of bed was another story. 

 

So, That is my Monday. right now. then I get changed into my PJs as I am not planning on going out the rest of the night. My youngest gets on me for changing, Oh, you need to move to help it. Yeah, go work on his car. didn't happen.

 

Have a good second half of your weekend everyone.

      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.

      I firmly believe I drank entirely to much for about 25 years. Got drunk every day. This was my coping mechanism to keep hiding deep inside that I was a woman. I miss a lot of signs over the years. Now I drink mabye 1 or 2 beers a day don't even get a buzz anymore. totally accept myself and on regret is that I hide that part of my self which  truly makes me happy being violet 💜. I wasted a lot of time before  being self destructive and had no clue I was just hiding th real me

      Service manager at goes through that here.One was a belt change in a 2019 Kenworth.It was written on the work order including a service done and I seen it.Customer was a complete a-hole.I did it and said he did not want that done.Shown him the original work order and finally said the service manager was right.My boss had to get rid of two customers,always complained about their bill being a little high.Price of parts went up due to inflation and had to explain this to them

      Well it not morning and I haven’t been on her for a while but it’s nice to be back.  Did some catching up on everyone.  I do have a question, how is Toronto Canada for a get away? Is it a safe and friendly area for us to go.  The wife and I are looking for some where to go to allow me to be my true self.     thanks in advance

      Hey, everyone. my life is going down the tubes. at least I think. So, today. A customer called about his car, I told him that the oil change was done. The parts to fix the check engine light are ordered. He can come and get it. For the weekend if he wants. Customer says I didn't want an oil change. it was check the engine light and check for an oil leak. Checking the work order says oil change. The boss wrote the vehicle up. checking with the customer on services wanted.   Being that I wrote down the appointment in the book. and clearly states oil leak. She is complaining because she can't read my small ish writing. It seems she read oil and assumed it as an oil change. It seems like she is blaming me.  She wound up going home because she was too upset. She is stressing about an eye problem she has, she has to get eye surgery it seems she has a tear in her eye.    I feel that I am short for this job. because of the BS they are blaming me on. Plus I am still upset about the trust issue. If either one of the bosses start their Shite tomorrow. I am walking out.
