Good morning everyone. A little under the weather this week with a sinus infection. Got a prescription for hrt this week ?. Going to fill it this weekend after another attempt at a discussion with my wife.  Kettle’s on, tea will soon be steeping and I’m looking forward to the weekend. 
 

Have a great day everyone. *hugs*

Good morning SaraAW and everyone! Tis sinus trouble time, cold outside and dry heat inside will mess with my sinus's every year too. Heading out to see the VA endocrinologist for my annual tune up and BS session. Made a point of not stuffing myself last night for the second year in a row at practicing self control. There was a time when I could out eat and out drink even the most debaucherous Romans, glad I finally grew up and got past that behavior.

Good Morning , afternoon and evening! 

I am Thankful for not having to drive in the pouring rain like I did last night. I drove my friends sister to the airport last night, and it was poooouring rain! I thought i was back in NC! lol. It was so bad on one stretch of the freeway, everyone had to slow down to 30-40 mph, cause the rush of water was causing the cars to hydroplane. It snowed up in Julian, so if it snows again next week, I might take the ladies up there for their first real snow. It's a treat anyway, cause the small town is famous for their apple pie and cider. Julian apple pies are famous around here. They have their own local orchards.

We used to go to a Christmas tree farm and cut our own, they always had a big tent and served hot apple cider with cinnamon to warm up with by the wood stove. Was kind of fun!

Remember there is always room for Jell-o, LOL.

Ah, which reminds me of Adventures With My Refrigerator:

Question:  What's the difference between red Jell-o and green Jell-o?

Answer: Two weeks ?

That does sound like fun.

For a while we used to cut out own tree. Now we just have an artificial one. I am the type of person who could care less about Xmas. I guess it is from the military, spent many holidays at work. Now just doing it for the wife she likes it and the kids/grandkids.

Don't know if I'll do anything for the holidays once I am me. I guess time will tell. However have to get an ugly Xmas sweater. that is a must.

A nice looking pie! Yum! yum!

 

Just drinking my morning coffee here. I need it today after getting the car out and giving it it's weekly check. Blowing up the types was a bit of a problem as it is cold (white over with frost) so in a couple of minutes my hands were getting so cold I couldn't handle the pump connection properly and lost the pressure I had just put in LOL

Coffee, pie and ice cream!

Yum.

Well I've got the coffee at the moment. Managed to stay away from the parking lot crazies for black friday, working on another drawing.

It's been a bit chilly here in the Ozarks, but at least winter hasn't hammered us like some parts of the country.

I'm dreading actually setting foot in stores until January. It's crazy time for shopping. I don't like crowds or being jostled. Going to be a tough month.

I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Hugs, big warm hugs!

That pie looks lovely!  I'm having my usual oatmeal and blueberry breakfast.  I spent yesterday with a chainsaw on top of the sugar house roof carefully removing a huge branch from a dead ash tree.  It crushed the stem vent, snapped the ridge and poked holes in several locations.  I had time to start rigging tarps and patches before the snow storm coming tomorrow.  The insurance company is sending a contractor to do an estimate.  Depending on the estimate and schedule i may do the repairs myself.  I built the sugar house 30 years ago and an so pleased that it was strong enough to protect the evoporator and other expensive equiptment we use.  It's times like this that i don't regret the time i had as a male builder!  The old gal can still do the work  but i'm certainly slower.

 

Hugs,

Oh, as a confirmed Real Maple Syrup Addict, I love visiting New England sugar houses!  I never get tired of the wonderful process of turning sugar maple sap into delicious products...all with precise temperature and time in the evaporator.  It's an amazing and fun thing to watch -- and in your case, to do!

 

Here's hoping the shack will be in working order by February and March!

 

Best,

Happy bright morning to all!

Wind blew like mad last night, so I slept poorly wondering if the house was going to fall apart.

At any rate, coffee, then studio time. I've got to buckle down and get some work finished!

Had our coffee.  The wind is just starting to pick up here so the rain can’t be far behind it.

It’s windy here too. I’m up earlier than I had planned but I have things to do today so it’s probably a good thing. I don’t know how I’m going to get it all done but I’m going to give it a go. One of my biggest obstacles is updating my phone because it keeps getting the connection reset so I’m not sure where I can find WiFi that’s going to cooperate. I’m starting to really get annoyed with Apple because of their 150 mb limit on using cell data for downloading. So I have to have WiFi. Last night after 2+ hours trying to use just WiFi and then my laptop with iTunes I gave up. No matter what the connection reset every time at around 250 mb and it doesn’t save progress it starts all the way over. Not a happy moment. 

 

Now for the good news. I’m starting work tomorrow!!! And today I finally managed to get rid of that pesky thing I was trying to sell on Craigslist. I didn’t get what I wanted for it but I’m happy that I don’t have to look at it anymore. It’s a symbolic victory. It was one of those things that became a depressing reminder of the past and I had to let it go. So the money was less important than getting rid of it. 

 

I really should get ready so I can leave and go donate plasma again. At least I have been able to make some money to help keep me from being totally broke but it’s just going towards rent anyway so it’s not time for any shopping sprees. By Friday I should be ok, but I’m not sure how long they can wait at the rental office. So for now I’m just keeping my head above water.

That is good news Josie, we all want the best for you and you're the one that has to make it happen!

      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?

      Both of my parents were from the “North Shore” of Boston.  My mother Lynn and my father Swampscot.  They had an early 1900s Scots-Irish New England diet.  My sister and I were born in the 40s in Ohio well away from New England seafood and in an area where food was more German and Polish.  My first experience with liver and onions was during basic training.  They ate salt cod but never forced us to eat it same with oysters.  My dad ate oysters but my mother wouldn’t.  Anyone who ever ate an oyster can figure that one out.  I grew up eating lamb.  My wife won’t touch it. I love brazed ox tail, again no way. And the list goes on.

      My mother was German, so yes, I think it was a cultural thing.  If I'd known you when we were cleaning out my mother's place, I could have sent you her "threat jar".

      Been taking it real easy.Another good neighbor of mine and his 15 year old son came over and cut down a couple dead trees on my property.Knew not to do it taking it easy.I had them put the wood near my fire pit in the back yard.Did it and happy where they put it.They knew I had stents put in and needed to take it easy

      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one. 
    • Ivy
      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
    • Ashley0616
      I don't see why not. I have worn forms since I came out. 
    • MaeBe
      I have never worn breastforms, but I assume as long as they don't aggravate your nipples you could.

      Every week I've been excited to take my shot, so it's never been an issue. Yesterday, however, I woke up and started my usual "slow roll" and then suddenly realized I had breakfast plans that I had to rush out the door for. After, it was straight into work calls, and then I got the notification from the doctor about things being too high and all the while my mind had completely slipped that I needed take my shot.   Given that I am not asking for medical advice, but sharing my journey, I will note my results: Estradiol at 447 pg/mL and Testosterone was 23 ng/dL, up and down from 26 pg/mL and 526 ng/dL respectively before treatment. Almost flipped the bit! The doc would like my Estradiol closer to 300 pg/mL, so we'll see what Monday's tests state.   Oh, and I teased the dinner with old soccer teammates and never updated the thread! It went well. There were a couple funny moments. One guy, who I was worried about their response, greeted me with "Hey, you've lost some weight!" 😎 And a friend who lives near me picked me up on the way to dinner exclaimed, after we learned one of the invitees might show up with a date, "Wait! We could have brought women?!" To which I instantly responded, "You kind of did, bringing me!" Everyone got a good laugh out of that. 😁

      To me there isn't that much difference other the measurement, which side the zipper is on and men's pants have bigger pockets. 
    • missyjo
      I hope this is not stupid question..I have yet to start n not sure if doc will approve..but once you start growing buds n such, can you still wear forms to get to the size you were?   I'm a dad, so when I start blossoms they will be smaller for a long time n probably need surgical augmented..that's fine. I don't want to go ddd to aa to ddd..   any ideas?   thank you

      I like them too.  We had them growing up.  But my father's family were Swedes.
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Oh my!  I guess it just goes to show how different tastes can be. Since we don't live near the ocean, Seafood is a rare luxury. We absolutely love pickled herring! Especially my husband and my GF, I guess it's a Ferman/Russian cultural thing.  But most of the kids like it too, and a jar wouldn't last in the pantry for long 😆
