Well that was creepy. At 6:35am just now, there was an creep silence for a min or so. No birds chirping, cars driving by, no sound from the refrigerator, the house itself, the dog stopped snoring....then it all came back. ?

Good morning all!

After a stormy afternoon and evening, which was preceded by a heat wave, we're having a beautiful morning in Maryland.  60 degrees, sunny, and dry! 

Unfortunately for me, I'm having blood work done, so have to fast for a few more hours.  I'm starving, and can't do much.  I can't even sip coffee on my deck, like I want to do on such a gorgeous day.

Morning. Ah always annoying when you have to fast, hope you get something nice after it is done.

I went to a nutritionist yesterday and need to reduce down my processed sugar and caffeine content. Trying to do it slowly but still making me tired and crabby.

Good morning! I lay here, wishing I had remembered to buy coffee yesterday, instead of sitting here without that earlier morning coffee smell in the air. Ah, I can here a crow squawking off in the distance, no doubt they are looking for breakfast. I’m not at home atm, so I can’t hop onto my computer and play a WoW to distract me from my lack of coffee, ?.

Oh it’s 5:25 am here if you were wondering. It will be another 2 hrs before the 4yr old twins are awake and sneaking over to “wake me up.” I always pretend I’m asleep, cause they like to “wake me up.” I pretend for both, even if they do not come out at the same time. It’s been a morning ritual ever since they were old enough to walk. They used to get upset if they couldn’t wake me up, or if they weren’t first. I don’t mind, as long as they are happy, simple acts for simple pleasures. ? 

Changing subjects, it is now less than a week for my Orchiectomy surgery!!! I’m sooooo excited!! A dream that will finally come true! 1 week from today, I will be happily posting a very happy post in this Good Morning thread! 

Which reminds me, I still need to buy a jockstrap. Ugh, the last thing that I want to buy atm. But, I will buy one cause it will help me in my dream. Could that be considered Ironical? I want to buy frozen peas, gallon size storage bags for ice, and a reusable ice pack, ?. Snacks and coffee, ?

I suppose I will have plenty of time to continue reading “The Hobbit” on my mini iPad. Ive seen the movie plenty of times, but have not finished reading The Hobbit. The book is different (not that different), and of course more detailed. I need to update my binge watching tv shows. 

Still no coffee. I should sneak out for some coffee, but I don’t want to wake up the dogs. If one barks, it will set off of a 4 dogs barking chain that I don’t care to make happen. ? oh well. I hope everyone has a wonderful morning! ????

Working on my second cup.  Goats are out to pasture clean up the brush around the lumber piles from the sawmill.  I'm off to bank and shop and then hopefully will get some gardening done.  We have been loosing outside time to severe afternoon thunderstorms. 2" of rain, with hail, in 2 hours.  I can't move around much with machinery so am getting long overdue work done around the house.

As to what crops do we raise Reyindium.......  We don't do any "field crops.  The farm is on the north side of a hill.  My father planted 6 thousand pines which we milled on our own sawmill as we harvested them 65 years later.  We make maple syrup from the maple trees in early spring and we graze meat goats on the fields where the trees once stood.  We also have a small plantation of sugar maples which we got through Cornell.  They were bread to have a high sugar content.  I might get to tap them in my 80's but more likely my son or a grandchild will get that privilege.

Oh yes we have a nice batch of blueberries under netting(to keep the birds out)  Berries are set now and we should be picking later next month and in July and August.

 

Hugs,

The book version of the Hobbit is much better than the movie.  I've read it a bunch of times.  They added things to the movie with the hopes of making a sequel/prequel.  They should have left it as is.

Good luck with your Orchi!  You must be really excited!

The summer weather is one thing I miss from living in Mass.  The weather is usually pretty good. Not too hot.  Maryland is as far south as I can go.  It gets too hot here.

Good morning.

 

I've had my coffee today.  Our heat wave has finally broken.  Very unusual to have had 4 days in a row of 100 degrees in May and followed by mid 90s for two more.  Finally we are back to normal mid 80 after a storm front last night.

 

@lauraincolumbia I used to live in Virginia Near DC.  I can tell you that July and August in that area was consistently hotter than coastal South Carolina or East coast of Florida in the Daytona Beach area.  Then again, you don't have to get too far inland and that coastal breeze ends and it starts getting really hot and humid.

 

Have a great day everyone.

Good morning! Still early here in San Diego. Listening to the morning freeway traffic and planes landing. The freeway isn’t too close, and it kinda sounds like waves, more than cars zooming by. It’s the day before the Rock n Roll Marathon, and the reason that I’m mentioning this, is I live three close blocks from Balboa Park. So I can hear everything that happens there. Well mostly everything, like Marathons, and Parades.  ?. I also have to mind the traffic that these events bring. I must say that it is very convenient when I want to trend these events! Especially, Pride, I can come and go as I please, trust me, it’s a long weekend when PRide is here. The party begins Thursday evening and ends Sunday evening. From  Hillcrest to Downtown it is one Big celebration, and I live right in the middle of it all. July will not come soon enough!

i suppose I should get up and make some coffee or tea...

Hi! Finally bought some coffee, late in the day, but that’s ok. I had to watch some recommended videos about anesthesia, and checking out of the hospital, for my Orchiectomy this upcoming Thursday. I wore my headphones so I could use my epilator on my legs ? ?. Time went by super fast ? Now I’m up to date, and my legs are silky smooth! Yay! I’m at my friends house tonight, so I will miss the Rock n Roll marathon noise and hoopla.

I’m watching “Pirate Radio,” and bouncing back and forth with “There’s something about Mary.” Funny stuff!

Went to work yesterday to find out that the other Assistant Manager is off for the next two weeks for a broken foot. Not be mean but Yeah. I actually only close 2 days this week.

 

Kind of feeling better right now. Even though it may mean not seeing my oldest and his family until later this month.  Now with our new car not costing an additional 1800. I was able to order some stuff for it. new wheels and tires, a replacement front bumper, New headlights. I've already put in a new radio AM/FM/DVD player.

 

So have a great day all. And a great cuppa java, everyone.

 

Hugs

Good morning! No coffee yet, need to buy some for my friends house. I mean it this time, ? 

All morning, I’ve been looking at sundresses on Amazon, and google. I love sun dresses! I want to buy one for Pride this July. I love the way they flow, and feel. I need to find some Sandler’s too. I love my flip flips, but I want to try some other style types.

Of course the sandals will need some type of heel. LOL.  Well first day in a long time I'm working a day shift during the week. Yeah!  Sipping my coffee until I have to go in. warming Forecast for today is mid 70s. Finally. Maybe after work I can actually work on a project.

My only day off this week but hey overtime.  Anyway, took a nice long shower exfoliated, then shaved. Was able to put my hair in a ponytail. (easier when still wet) Have an appointment with my therapist. I am dressing as girly as I can. And still look good riding.

 

Might even change to my Minnie Mouse bow ear rings. Low rise jeans, maybe a bodysuit, my new ladies Harley shirt. Not sure if I break out the ladies riding vest or not. I am going to make the next step. Have the VA call me by my new name. I figure it is time. Kymmbrill is growing up.

 

Hugs all.

Coffee half sipped on, nibbling on my breakfast, thinking about tomorrow. In 24 hours I will be being prepped for my Orchie that is scheduled to begin at 10:30am PT. My check in was bumped up from 10am to 8:30am, in turn my surgery went from 10am-12pm, ?. Very happy about that, less time to wait, and over earlier! I’m nervous, but excited! Time sure flew! I will be staying at my friends house for at least 24 hours after the surgery. It is required that I’m driven home, and have some one near after having the anesthesia From the surgery. It’s a good idea anyway, especially since I just had surgery.

I still need to buy some frozen peas, and I’m going to get some subway or Jersey mikes, so I have everything ready for tomorrow. I bought an athletic supporter, ugh, they are gross. I’m not saying they are gross on other people, they just aren’t for me. I have some boy shorts and pink yoga shorts that will help too. 

Tomorrow, I’ll probably be shopping on amazon  thongs, and skirts Ive been looking at for a loooong time.

i will be at my HRT 3month mark around June 12th, so I hope the surgery will give it a good boost, and maybe I can decrease or get off of T. 

Squuuuuuuuuueeeeeeeee!!

Is that an awake surgery? I had my vasectomy not too long ago. That’s an awake surgery. It feels weird. Lots of pressure during. And the pain afterwards wasn’t bad at all. I used vikkis pink sport undies afterwards which were awesome for support. It took me about 2-1/2 weeks to be back to normal. I actually went back to work 4 days later and had to go back out because I wasn’t ready for that much driving. They gave me another full week off and I was fine then. 

Hardest part is that when you’re sitting there watching tv with your peas you’ll feel fine. So it’s hard to just sit. But if you are too active you pay later. It’s not the same surgery I know, but I believe they are very similar.  

 

Good luck! I’ll be thinking of you. ?

No, it’s a ? ? surgery. That’s why they require/ me to have someone around 24 hrs after surgery. I’ve had a vasectomy, then had it all reattached years later, so I remember that. Ya, weird tugging, and I stopped wearing bun huggers too early, and that wasn’t pleasant, I plan to try wear all the proper things as long as I can, so I don’t mess anything up.

      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

      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.

      "I love you so much,"  Lois said.  They met in the driveway. "I could not live without you." "Neither could I." "What are we going to do?" "Find another counselor?" "No. I think we need to solve this ourselves." "Do you think we can?" "I don't know.  But what I know is that I don't want to go through that again.  I think we have to hope we can find a solution." "Otherwise, despair." "Yeah.   Truce?" "Okay,  truce." And they hugged.   "When we know what we want we can figure out how to get there."   That began six years of angry battles, with Odie insisted he could dress as he pleased and Lois insisting it did not please her at all.  He told her she was not going to control him and she replied that she still had rights as a wife to a husband. Neither was willing to give in, neither was willing to quit, and their heated arguments ended in hugs and more.   They went to a Crossdressers' Club, where they hoped to meet other couples with the same problems, the same conflicts, and the same answers, if anyone had any.  It took them four tries before they settled on a group that they were both willing to participate in.  This was four couples their own age, each with a cross dressing husband and a wife who was dealing with it.  They met monthly.  It was led by a 'mediator' who wanted people to express how they felt about the situation.  Odie and Lois, as newcomers, got the floor, and the meeting was finally dismissed at 1:30 in the morning - it was supposed to be over at 10 - and everyone knew how they felt about the situation.   There was silence in the car on the way home.   "We aren't the only ones dealing with this." Odie finally said.   "Who would have thought that?  You are right."   "Somebody out there has a solution." "I hope you are right."   "I hope in hope, not in despair."   "That's my Odie."

      The counseling session was heated, if you could call it a counseling session.  Sometimes Lois felt he was on Odie's side, and sometimes on hers.  When he was on her side, Odie got defensive. She found herself being defensive when it seemed they were ganging up on each other.   "This is not working," Lois said angrily, and walked out.  "Never again. I want my husband back. Dr. Smith you are complicit in this."   "What?" said Odie.   The counselor looked at him.  "You will have to learn some listening skills."   "That is it? Listening skills?  You just destroyed my marriage, and you told me I need to learn listening skills?"   Dr. Smith said calmly,"I think you both need to cool off."   Odie looked at him and walked out, saying "And you call yourself a counselor."   "Wait a minute."   "No."
