It's actually a fairly warm day today (50f)  8)   But it is also very windy out so all the dust and grime that has been trapped the past few months is getting kicked up and making my allergies go crazy and turning me into a runny nosed sneeze monster  :P   Also we are predicted to get hit with at least a couple more snow storms before winter is out

I'm unhappy with how burnt out I have become. I guess someone I work with was kinda badmouthing me and how I handled a recent crisis, and a superior actually told him off, so it's nice to have supportive leadership. My boss also asked me if I wanted to switch job positions...I told her no, but that I wanted less hours. The negative part of me wonders if it was her way of saying that I couldn't handle my job, but I know that wasn't what it was. She knows I've considered changing positions in the past, she knows I am running out of steam, and if she wanted me gone entirely I'd be gone by now.

But I am happy that I work for such great people. A lot of people I work with complain about the company, but I have had no issues. They seem like the kind of people, who, if you're willing to work with them and be flexible on certain things, they will support you when you need it. They also hold themselves to a good standard. That's something that I really need in my life, regardless of where I'm at. I need people around me who have high expectations. It keeps me motivated to be the absolute best I can be. I don't want to be some worker who doesn't give a crap and just gets by day by day for the paycheck, I want to be someone who gives it his all.

Last week I was kinda craving popcorn so I bought a 3 pack of the store brand microwave popcorn because it was the cheapest, put one in but not even half of the kernels popped  >:(  I thought "I'm not buying that sucky brand again"

So today I was feeling hungry but couldn't decide on a snack then remembered I still had two packets of popcorn, so I put one in thinking "well if only half of it pops I'll be okay because I just want a small snack anyway"

Well nearly all of it popped this time and so I had to get out a larger bowl to put it in  8)  Mmmmm... Popcorn

Work went well yday, had a chat with a person I was working with which was fun and the place was quiet (I work in a desert cafe). However, I learnt one of my other coworkers is homophobic bcos a gay couple walked in and she may have noticed my face going red. The other people I work with are fine and I think will be fine with me being trans as well when I tell them, it's just her is the problem.
They/them pronouns preferred.

I'm sitting here with raging dysphoria because my wife made me cut my hair.  I didn't think it would affect me like this.  All I want to do is hide in a corner and cry.  I can't even look in a mirror because I'll see "him."
I want to be mad at my wife, but she bought me panties for Valentine's Day.  And I know that's huge for her.  But I feel for every step forward I take, I take a step back.

Big hug! Life is exactly like that. I've learned to look at the backwarding and forwarding as dancing. Cha-Cha, anyone?

Hugs, Devlyn

LOL... I was putting my dishes away and impaled my ring finger on a fork  :o  Luckily it was just one prong and didn't bleed for very long, but that definitely woke me up

(The following is sappy, and full of cheese.)

The girl that I honestly must be in love* with hasn't replied all day.

Which is great, because she was having a guy that she likes over today, but was worried he wouldn't show. So. He must have, and I'm sure she's having a really good day. :)


*I still refuse to admit love is more than a social construct.

A girl I think is cute wants to spend time with me. She also tends to sit quite close to me and stuff. I'm fairly certain she doesn't "like me like me" (which I'm totally fine with), she's just extroverted and very social. But I tend to feel things quite strongly, so when I get butterflies around a girl it's like this wicked storm of anxiety/happiness/arousal. -_- I get torn between "omg she's so cool love spending time with her" and "GAHHHHH IT'S TOO MUCH I CAN'T HANDLE IT  :'( :'( :'(" Which I hate because I worry it will be off putting if a woman picks up on it. People tend to take it as "oh wow you're like in love with her" and it's not love...like I don't take it seriously...I just get overwhelmed easily by feelings other people seem to handle with ease.

Had a client meeting today, the first since they were told I will be moving roles.

She was sad to see me and told me not to go.
This was from our meanest nastiest client.

I must be chopping up onions as I have tears in my eye.
So long and thanks for all the fish

I had a dream where I had my full goatee back and I couldn't shave it off.   The razor wouldn't cut it.  I was crying. 

Then I found my daughter and I watching fireworks from a hotel balcony.  It was a really nice moment.

Then I woke up.  No goatee, yeah!  But my daughter is still scared of me.  Maybe it's true.  I can't be me AND keep my daughter close.

New Nightwish CD out next month
I've completely lost interest in music

I found out today that the Royal Children's hospital in Melbourne has a 12 month wait on appointments with the gender specialists.

Twelve months is a long time, however, that means that a lot of Australian kids are in that waiting list, getting to where they need to go (eventually) and that is so damn good and important.

As well as this, supposedly most of the referrals they are getting from all over Victoria are actually from my city and its twin, woohoo ?

Yesterday I went to get my hair cut. I have job interviews coming up and it has to look good. I was very uncomfortable about getting a short cut and decided against it. This is how it turned out:



I have some major shadow because my beard doesn't grow fast enough to shave more than every other day and yesterday was not the day.

Sweetie was displeased. She said it was too long. I offered to do it over. I'm trying to compromise as much as possible. She said that lots of things I do lately upset her and not to bother. I know her. If I leave it she'll be upset, if I shorten it, that will upset her, too. Problem is, I'm not entirely sure I'm happy with it. Opinions, keep it or cut it?
April 22, 2015, the day of my first face to face pass in gender neutral clothes and no makeup. It may be months to the next one, but I'm good with that!

Being transgender is just a phase. It hardly ever starts before conception and always ends promptly at death.

I say keep it. Plenty of men have longish hair, even Stephen King has hair about that length. Plenty of women have hair of that length. It looks to me like a androgynous cut that should suit both of you. I'm sorry that your SO is not meeting you in the middle about so many things.

I understand her, Kat. She's scared and insecure. Even after 35 years she's afraid I'll just leave. My problem is that I give in too often to ease her anxiety. Not this time. I washed it today and styled it and it looks good, so it stays.

Oh, and please don't compare me to King. He's a wonderful writer, but the man's a troll.

Apologies for the comparison, I was only meaning the look was acceptable.

Not a problem. I remember several years ago he was interviewed by a local radio station here. The DJ said afterwards that he showed up with a six pack. Now there's either a self confident man or someone who's seriously unhappy. I feel for him.
