 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 :D

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,

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, 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?

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. ☕

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,

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.

      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆

      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?
