I'm back at home, and running through my usual routines again.  Unpack, do laundry, walk, meditate, buy groceries, cook.   Pretty standard life for a retired older woman.  I do miss my girlfriend, but I'll be seeing her again in a few weeks when I head north.  Meanwhile, the badgers are sleeping with me.

I did finally get my radio gear unpacked and set up that magnetic loop antenna.  The darn thing is finicky as heck, but works remarkably well.  Nerd stuff...

I had a therapy session on Thursday, very affirmative stuff.  The therapist pointed out that the 'breast augmentation' surgery can make some adjustment from the very wide placement I have for my little 34 Barelys.  I didn't realize that.  I don't want to have anything huge, but it would be nicer to have the spacing better, and to be able to wear more bras comfortably.  I currently use a Warner t-shirt bra that has a wide band and compresses things inward to give me a decent fit and form.

So, I may just be looking into a breast augmentation.  Wow. 

Today's project was another One Day Ham Class.  I was there from 6:45 AM til about 5:30, and am very tired now.  Early to bed tonight, with a good book, I think.  I wish I had better plans, but I make do.

I'm guessing we're not talking about a big piece of pig and some pineapple?  :laugh:

Hugs, Devlyn

No.  Although a genuine luau might just be fun.  I wonder if I could convince anyone to try a Polynesian vacation with me?

The Honey Badgers look tired!  Are you sure they are sleeping?

Probably not necessary, but it would be nice to be able to wear a woman's bathing suit, and actually have it look correct.

I've been rubbing their tummies every night!  I heard somewhere that is very effective at inducing sleep.

Is it possible to be an observant Jew and a ham operator?

I ran across this on FacePlant today. Seemed appropriate...

I can definitely vouch for the effectiveness of Anxiety Companion Honey Badgers. 


They act as constant reminders of someone I had to work very hard at to catch...  Hi, @Laurie !

Special thanks to @Jessica for tracking them down and risking life and limb to send them here!

Oh, I haven't really updated anything here in a while.

I restarted electrolysis today after a one month break. The upper and lower lip, chin, left cheek and most of the right got recleared. We will get the rest of the right cheek and neck next week.

I got misgendered last week by someone who was arguing that a church didn't need a refresher course on being Welcoming to LGBTQ folks. Oops. Then he tried to blame me for the misgendering. :facepalm:   No, no refresher course needed here...

I did a one day ham class that went OK. Pass rate was lower than I'd like to see.

Thursday I did a class on antenna design that went well. One of my demo props broke, so I had to improvise a bit. Life...

I  am prepping a class for Tuesday night, a Trans 101 variant for an older gay men's group. The Q&A should be interesting.

In a week the badgers and I hit the road for a trip north, hunting our prey in northern Oregon.

It is with pleasure that I do your bidding Mistress Michelle! 
My right arm is healing well after having to shake off the grip of one of the twin badgers.  I had found them in Missouri when they became sidetracked by the smell of hot gruel.  Thinking they found the ever elusive Laurie, they veered off course into a cleverly disguised badger trap.  I believe you know who must of set it.  The twins were pretty angry and took it out on me when I set them free.  I had to rub their bellies to calm them enough to put them in the shipping container you found them in.

Hugs and limps, Lady Jessica

Oh Michelle back tot the torture...alas I may have to venture there again soon as I think there are still some slightly spotty area's...Love the honey badgers they look like they will certainly do the trick.

Hope your Trans 101 goes well along with your pursuit of your elusive prey!!

Take care

Madly packing and loading the car for a road trip.

On the road early tomorrow, with the first stop an hour north of here for a bit of electrolysis.  I want to be all spiffed up for my girlfriend!

Then, a quick lunch and fuel for the vehicle, and I head north with my trusty badgers, for a week in the howling wilderness of the Portland suburbs.

I had a couple of nice head shots taken for use in some future stuff.  This was fun, and I am quite happy with the results.

.

Without any retouching, the nice soft lighting seems to have knocked years off of me.  Now, how do I make sure that is the only lighting I am seen in?  🤫
