What Made You Both Happy and Unhappy at the Same Time Today? 2.0

I had to vote in the state election under my old name. As the roll was not updated in time for my new name . When the person at the polling booth asked what surname was I under last election and found me. I was told I still must be under my 'maiden' name. I not sure how I feel about being married to myself, but a pass is a pass of course of course

Happy, I'll get my 40 hours this week.

Unhappy, most of those hours are Friday and Saturday hours. I got home at 1 am and have to get up for work at 5: 30 am.


I think I may sleep after the second part.

Happy it's my day off
Unhappy I can't get any enthusiasm or enjoyment from anything that once interested me and have sat around half dressed all day

I get like that when I'm over tired. Have you been working too hard and not getting rest, Kim?

[big kim]

You're right thanks Dee.I work 12 - 15 hours 5 days from 7 and am in a lot of pain from celulitis and an ulcer in my leg which means I'm lucky to get more than 5 hours sleep.

I've gone into detail about breaking up with my long-distance girlfriend the other week, in the "ARGHHH!" forum.

Last night, I got in contact with someone else who knew her well. I didn't know who he was, but he told me he also had an intimate relationship with her, before she disappeared. His relationship with her was a lot like mine. We concluded that my girlfriend was cheating on both of us the whole time we knew her.

....So, I'm unhappy knowing that I was being lied to since the beginning.
I am happy because this makes getting over my breakup a lot easier.

A good friend of mine had something great happen to her that she has been waiting for awhile. This is briging up a huge fear of mine so for the past two days it's been like. "Thats great babe, can we talk about something else". I feel bad because I glad for her but I can't celerbrate with her

[Cindy]

Unhappy: being told off about being silly getting myself upset because a family member misgendered me.

Happy: someone loves me enough to risk their very existence by telling me off

I had an epileptic seizure today blah blah and double blah (righ now I'm feeling like sleepy and dopey anyone else want to be the other five)

My discharge letter has the words Ms, she and female
I was asked if I wanted needed a pan by the nurse as they wanted a urine sample
When I was awake it was lady and her in reference to me
My hospital I.D. bracelet has a 'F' on it

I would like to say those positives cancel out the negative but right now I feel exhausted and I could sleep for a month

[Cindy]

Hugs hon. Get some rest. I'm really glad you were treated as you should be.

[Rainbow Dash]

I'm glad you are okay too Gypsy *hugs*

I'm Quitting Panther Logistics. I hate to do it but my co driver and I are having personality conflicts. I will be getting off the truck in Michigan somewhere near Dundee. Then I will spend the weekend learning new software and techniques for CG modeling and rendering so I can up my game. Then I will take the greyhound bus on Monday back home.

That's a shame, you love driving! I think you all know I'm looking for work. Craig's List for my area has been listing a lot of positions for new drivers. The ads look like they're national. I have no idea if they're any good but it would be worth looking, wouldn't it?

My wife was looking thorough Facebook and someone she met through a game in her phone (like the Zynga games) that connect through Facebook share a horrible transphobic post making fun of Bruce Jenner (Trigger Warning, here is a post about it on ->-bleeped-<-). My wife tried to messaged them to how inappropriate and offensive it was and commented on it as well. It became obvious that this person (who was a woman) was bigoted and horrible and she ended up removing her as a friend. So kudos for my wife defending us.

Yesterday Sweetie asked if she could ask a question. I told her that of course she could. She asked if I had bought a bra. I told her yes, two sports bras as we had discussed I needed due to irritation. She seemed to take it well. Later I noticed her crying a little and she wouldn't tell me why. I don't know if it was the bras or the pain she's been in lately. I suspect the former. I hate giving her reason to cry, but what can I do?!

Perhaps this belongs in the other thread. I'm so down lately I can't tell.

One of my neighbors passed away today    It was bitter sweet as her family thanked me for my friendship and the many times I had helped her, it was sad to see her go but relieving that her long suffering with a painful condition had ended

Per usual I maintained my brave face and asked if I could help in any way, then went home and cried my eyes out

My insomnia is back & I haven't slept for 3 days, it's not quite making me happy but i've passed into the silly phase of being tired where the slightest thing makes me smirk & giggle

Thanks for the suggestion but i'm waiting for a prescription of my anti-itch pills which contain a sedative, there's been a communication problem between my surgery & my dermatologist. It's left me without any for a week. The insomnia is being caused by my eczema flaring up & itching constantly, it's just bearable when i'm doing stuff but when i'm trying to sleep and have nothing to occupy my mind it's impossible to sleep, I keep starting to doze off & suddenly get jolted awake by the feeling that i've got bugs crawling all over me

I broke off all forms of communication with my oldest sister before August last year. She dealt with my transition far worse than anyone I care about including my youngest sister, who's husband wants to stone all the gays. I unblocked her on facebook a month or two ago and have had a few minor interactions with her without incident.

Last night I got an email from her about her son, which included a picture. He's been dangerously underweight and is improving. She also mentioned she misses me, but carefully avoided pronouns or anything gender specific and didn't mention my name (although her email system identified me by my old name).

I decided to respond. I gave her a pretty huge update on my progress since. Since I wasn't on HRT at the time, a hell of a lot has happened so I had no trouble in making it as detailed as I thought was appropriate.

Today I got a response. She still wants me to be her brother, but she does care about me. She didn't try to lash out at me or anything (which is why I had to block her in the first place). I'm hoping this is the start of us moving forward, but it still bothers me that she can't accept me as a sister. I wish she could understand. After all my parents understand now. They certainly didn't at first. None of us knew any trans people (that we knew of anyway) at the time.
