Hi everyone! Haven’t posted much I’ve been playing catch-up at work since I was off for Covid. I had my endocrinologist appointment yesterday day my T levels dropped way down almost to the proper level.

 

Glad to hear you're back on your feet after that. And congrats on low T!

Since I'm always looking for results I've been thinking my skin is somewhat smoother in places, since you read about that one a lot. But realizing I should have done a better audit of how rough my skin was before I started cause I don't know if it's real. That's your tip of the day for everyone contemplating HRT but not underway yet!

 

Off to make second cuppa of the day.

Rhonda I think my skin is starting to get smoother. I’ve noticed my face is starting to fill out especially my cheeks.

It's like I was driving the train down this track, but now it's driving me.  I don't know what I would even go back to at this point.

 

Yup, that's exactly the feeling.

Hi everyone

 

Sitting here watching the clock for time to log in for my therapy appointment.  Since Y'all been talking about injections, I was quite surprised about how easy my first E injection went.  the only hard part was getting it out of the syringe.  The oil is hard to push.  The needle was a piece of cake.  I know you will look at the needle and your leg and think about it but try not to.  Just go for it.

 

Pay attention to the nurse showing you what to do, there are important aspects to injecting oneself that you don't want to forget.  getting an infection from not having a sterile field would not be a good thing.

 

I got my ears pierced at a store but I'm thinking I'd like to have a second ear piercing in each lobe.  probably won't do that any time soon however.

 

Rainy day.  We are getting the outer most rain bands from Eta as she travels north.  No longer a tropical storm but bringing us over three inches yesterday and today combined.

Had problems with my speech appointment. I was logged in She was logged in but didn't connect us.

 

Shots, they are a pain. Ha ha. Serious, I had to give myself shots of blood thinners when I had my blood clots. Thankfully it was a small needle and medicine wasn't thick. Now my blocker shots, It is a thick med and uses a large needle. That one I don't do myself, the nurse has to work it to get it to flow.

 

Things are OK. Brain is only at sub light right now. So nice an mellow.

 

Hugs

Hi, back from my session.  Pouring most of the day today.   
 

We are going shopping tomorrow.  I need needles for my sewing machine and I’m going to buy a Viking ankle for my Singer.  That will allow me to use some of the special feet that my wife has for her Viking machines. There is a very small difference between the machines because they are both owned by the same company.  
 

since I am sewing very heavy fabric I need very large needles and they are hard to come by, impossible locally.


Oh, needles, guess that’s the topic of the day.  Sorry. lol

good morning!

 

so whose staying in bed today? After all, it’s 2020 and Friday the thirteenth!  What a combination.  
 

Bad day to be a Templar.  I have a Sinclair in my family tree, but no Roshbechal’s as far as I know.
 

Historically a good day for me.

 

Be careful out there and be wary of Frenchmen with swords today.

Good morning everyone,

 

Happy Friday. I'm off work today just like every Friday the 13th. I don't do it for any religious or superstitious reasons. It's just easy for me and my employer to remember.

 

I have a fun-filled day planned. I have to drive down to the city and pick-up new meds, get bloodwork and then training for the new meds.

Pretty much as soon as I get back we have another 5-6 houses to go see today. This house hunting thing is starting to get old.

 

Have a great day everyone.

So I might have to fire my chiropractor.

 

I was just in their office and, out of five people, one had no mask at all and two more (one an employee) wasn't wearing theirs correctly. I let the chiropractor know and I'm giving them one more chance because I like them, but I'm high risk and cannot be around that kind of thing right now.

 

Ugh. Venting. I hope everyone else is having a better day than I am.

 

Hugs!

A lot of that around here too.

I was talking with my ex yesterday.  She said they were just doing everything like "normal" - going out to eat etc.

We're both seniors of course, and her boyfriend has serious heath issues on top of that.

People don't take it serious.

I hear your vent, and I raise you one aargh!  What is so hard to understand about this?  My electrologist has to follow strict rules, that are even stricter now with the pandemic.  She imposes strict rules on her clients.  Don't want to comply?  Fine, let your hair grow!  "No shirt, no shoes: no service" is now "No shirt, no shoes, no mask: no service".

 

I hope you are able to persuade your chiropractor to smarten up, or to find a better one.

Moi aussi!

Including a rather nice sword that I'm fond of, but I prefer my cutlass for most things - skill level in wielding it is a lower bar to achieve.

Hugs,

I have a big 'ol Scottish broadsword with some lovely Celtic knotwork on the blade. It's completely serviceable and combat-ready. Or would be if I every bothered to sharpen it. It's heavy as heck though so I could easily beat somebody to death with it if I had to. My skill level is basically, "She knows which end to hold." I'm a menace! ... there is no berserker emoji. This makes me sad. We'll have to go with...

In reality Friday the 13 has always been a good day for me as well.  I went on active duty Air Force, I received a promotion and a transfer I wanted, and I graduated from college.  
 

I am a Scot, my ancestors are some of the most celebrated in Scottish history going back to around the 800s. 

hopefully I can get this file loaded it is of an antique fighting knife.  As for the date they left Scotland for Prince Edward Island CA I don’t know.  I do know they traveled on the Curlew in 1818.

      Good Friday Morning    I will be spending a good portion of my day at church today.  I don’t know how any of my family would have been with me.  They all passed before I figured myself out.  I often think my mother and sister may have figured it out before I did but maybe it was just my depression that they saw.  I don’t know and never will.  My grandfather Young unconditionally loved me but he passed when I was 9.   Same with my wife’s parents, both gone before.  We’ve never had the greatest relationship with my wife’s brother but we do see them occasionally.  They words and actions aren’t always in sink when it comes to me.   Sour kraut or boil cabbage were never big even with my parents so that was something we were never expected to eat.  Nor was anything with mustard.  My mother hated mustard and it turns my stomach. My wife tried to sneak it into things early in our marriage but I could always tell.  She stopped after a while.   well I wave to go get ready to go to church.  I have a committee meeting at 10 and then we have a Good Friday Service at noon.   Willow

      Good morning everyone,   @KymmieLI hope you're misreading your bosses communications. As you say keep plugging a long. Don't give them signs that you're slow quitting, just to collect unemployment.   I have a few things to do business wise, and will be driving to the St. Louis, MO area for two family gatherings.   Have a great day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone, TGIFF   It seems like I am the one keeping or shop from being the best. According to the boss. I don't know if my days are numbered or not. But anymore I am waiting for the axe to fall. Time will tell.   I keep plugging a long.   Kymmie

      Having just a normal emotional day.
    • Heather Shay
      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.
