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

[Cindy]

This sounds so silly.

The main hospital I work at is in a position where parking is extremely limited. So of course 'they' decided to close the main car park  (700 parks) unannounced.

700 into zero = chaos

But I had read a few threads of getting back on my bike, so I had! Total coincidence.

I could make money from people hanging off my bike for a lift.

Riding a bike was also a very interesting experience

[Jenny07]

We will make a bike ride of you yet my young apprentice.

Work is really getting to me.
Feel so under appreciated for what I do.
Had not had a pay rise in 3 years and given my soul to it.

I should be grateful in that it pays the bills but a what personal cost?

The weekend now so my bike is calling and I can be me.

I love riding my old vintage bikes and I'm looking forward to being able get back on them again once my health picks up a bit.  I hope you are enjoying the experience of becoming a bike rider Cindy because they really are freedom machines.  I don't miss driving a car at all, it's not being able to ride a bike that's been getting at me.

i'm seeing my therapist today and i'm super duper happy about seeing her and catch up with what has been going on in my week.

I had one of those parent moment where I was watching my daughter working on her electronic designs and I just absolutely knew beyond all doubt that I loved her more than anything in the world.  Then I immediately felt sad because of the way my brothers dead name her and talk to me about her like she's dirt on the soles of their shoes.

To fight with my medical Insurance company and then find out that they had to pay for it all.

Being in a hotel room with unlimited amount of hot water to take my time to shave my legs....

....and only bringing one flimsy generic disposable razor....

[V M]

A few days ago when I went to pick up some cold meds, I found the one I prefer but when I looked at the price I decided on a packet of a generic    Big mistake, the generic meds made feel weirded out and jittery and didn't seem to work quite as well

After a few days of that I decided I should go ahead and put up the few extra $ to get the meds I like



Well at first I couldn't find it and I was feeling a bit distressed by that  But then I realized that the entire shelving had been rearranged and my meds were just in another spot    Not only that but the price had been lowered back down to the normal price    Yay!!!

I'm happy we are getting the much needed rain, but I so dislike the timing with my leaving this morning. Hugs

Yesterday I was talking to my co-manager (just below store manager at Walmart). She's very friendly, but then I work like a fiend for her. I thought for sure she knew I'm trans and said something off hand that confused her. Turns out she didn't. She was perfectly fine about it. I showed her the picture (posted elsewhere here) of the blouse I bought here on Friday. She was very complimentary and said she might get one for herself commenting that it could also be used as a dress. I told her not on me, too short, and she laughed.

A few minutes later she came to me where I was working and confessed that she had accidentally insulted our other openly trans staff and felt bad about it. She used sir instead of ma'am, she's from Arkansas. She asked what to do in the future. I told her to just ask what pronouns someone prefers, so she asked me. I told her female and she asked my help if she slips with either of us! She's also one of the people there who calls me Dee. That she never slips on.

Also, my two best friends at work were pulling things off of racks and telling me what they thought looks good. What a boost yesterday was.

One thing though. I showed them the boots I want to buy and they really tested my resolve to wait until payday! ;-)

My thumb, (the one I sliced open while making dinner) is finally healing up    But it looks like I might have a permanent divot on the tip and I think I may have damaged a nerve ending

I'm alone tonight but I have a steak on the grill

[V M]

My sister keeps calling up to say she wants to get together for the holidays and then calling back awhile later to flake out



Oh well, most people are pretty flaky, it's rather rare when anyone's word is actually worth anything

Bummer, especially since words are about all I can afford.   Hope Sandy Claws cleaned up after himself.

You're one of the few exceptions LordKAT

[LordKAT]

There is my happy and sad. Sad your not having the best of times, happy that I'm not the cause.

Hugs for you, too.

Today marks the 20th anniversary of Amber Hagerman's disappearance

I am happy because it was her abduction that lead to the country wide Amber Alert System, it's just so sad that it took such a horrific event to bring the alert system about

It's also very triggering and reminds me of when some creeper tried to put the grab on me over 40 years ago - The bodies of several children were found buried in his backyard a short time later

Who killed Amber Hagerman? Murder case that inspired Amber Alerts remains unsolved 20 years later

By Jason Sickles, Yahoo

ARLINGTON, Texas — Unlike terror bulletins or weather warnings, the mayday for missing children has a namesake: Amber.

"It's a shame my daughter had to be butchered and had to go through what she went through for us to have the Amber Alert, but I know she would be proud of it," Donna Williams said during a recent visit at her home.

On Wednesday, two decades will have passed since a stranger snatched 9-year-old Amber Hagerman off her bicycle from a vacant supermarket parking lot in broad daylight and drove away in a black pickup truck...

Hi All

I would say that when I had my surgery I didn't know what to expect completely at the time. After I did I found out some of the most wonderful news that a women could ever find out and it was very shocking. I really don't want to get into details but it was shocking in a great way and yet Horrifying in and other. Now I sit here and think to my self how much deferent that my life could have been from the start if they had not done to me what they did. I knew my whole life that there was a lot of thing different about me and now I know why. I'm to old to do anything about it now and just think about it and cry myself to sleep at night. I have some very close friends on here and a very limited few will ever know my complete Issue as I am a very private women and always have been. But it is far better off that way.

Hug's
Lyndsey

It's not necessarily just today but for a little while now. My wife has been so supportive, but she pulls all this passive aggressive bs. For example, she reminds me that I started HRT than she wanted me to. She acts like no one else is really supportive to me, not like her.  And if they are, why aren't they supportive of her, too?  Answer: she's completely alienated my family.  She gets offended for me, but then blows it off if I am actually offended.
