Dear Jess:
I am wishing that you have a good day today and a wonderful and pleasant weekend.   I trust that many of the life issues that you are dealing with can be resolved satisfactory and soon.
Your goal of going full-time is something that you have been dreaming about for a long time, do not give up on that dream and your final goals.

Wishing you happiness, success and a continued journey forward with your transistion.

That sucks. I relegated my 'grubby male stuff' to the trash and proceeded to create new 'grubby female stuff'
I may, if I dig, find an old white t-shirt buried (no, not the yard) in the back of my dresser.

some of those discussions can be brutal. They are totally necessary though. So much harder to those that we are closest to.

Hi Faith🙋‍♀️
I'm waiting for one of my GV Amanda's to wear a hole in them.  Though I do think I need to go down to size 8 from a 10.  Time for shopping!

All I want is dialogue and a place that we are happy together.  If the truth can't be said or heard it would be impossible for either of us to be happy.  I welcome her thoughts.

Jessica, that's a rough place to be in, and I know how much it can hurt sometimes.  If you need a 'day off' or a 'day out', you are always welcome here, my friend.

If nothing else, you can give me a hand with Robyn, my post-GCS patient coming in tonight!  Yup, she's baaaaaaack!

I know I can count on you Michelle.  I do enjoy our adventures!

Didn't you move the Honey Badgers into Robyn's room?

Hi Jess! That is a lot on your shoulders. I know how things can be overlooked either by accident or on purpose. Either way, someone is in very hot water. In this case, I think it was best to be retired before they broke ground on that building. It's obvious the contractor had plenty of time to cover all the issues before beginning the project.

I love following your thread Jess. I hope your and your wife can work things out and stay together and allow you to be a complete you. It's far better to have a wonderful relationship with your SO than to be divorced and alone as I am.

Oh, and I love the new windows Jess!

Hugs,
Donica.

Thank you Donica for the window compliment.  The third will be done soon.
My other construction endeavors from my past is just that.... in the past.
The first 30 years it was a passion, the last 4 was a fight when management went corporate.
Soured everything for me, had my years in for my pension, so why not.
Now everyday is Saturday.

My wife and I have been committed to our marriage unflinchingly.  After more than 37 years we understand each other fairly well.  We will see how this turns out with my transition, but my hunches are we will still be together.



Thank you all for your responses,
Hugs and smiles from a California girl

Thank you Danielle, I just returned from my first voice therapy appointment.  It went well in respects that there is hope, except not so well in others.
While filming my vocal cords it was noticed that the right one was not performing correctly and appeared to have an irregular edge.  It also did not vibrate the same.  This is something that I had suspected for a while.  My voice has had issues with post nasal issues, but is relatively clear and strong.  (I will preface that a dozen or more years ago I noticed problems with my voice and mentioned to my doctor.  I don't think they tried very hard.) 
So now I need to see a specialist that may want to take a biopsy...oh joy!

Oh, and electrolysis yesterday was a shocking endeavor⚡️⚡️⚡️

Thank you so much for your heartfelt concern for my wife's and my relationship.
The status quo that she is comfortable with is me doing everything I have been doing, including incremental steps.  If that puts me in a place at some point that changes her view, all the better.

OMG, Gloria Vanderbilt Amandas are the best! I'm glad to know other girls here think so too! Why would you want to put a hole in them?!

Congratulations on dropping a size!

I started with 10, because they fit like mens jeans.  I quickly realized that was wrong, tried size 8, better, then tried size 6.  Perfect!  There's a reason these pants all have spandex in the fabric...

I have a couple pair of GV Amanda in size 6 and a pair of Buffalo skinny jeans in a 6 you might want to try.

Oh pshaw on y'all. I know what girl work pants look like. I have some of my wife's hand-me-downs to wear for the dirty work. I don't need to wear out my beautiful Amandas for that!

Sorry about the graphic language.

Shameful Stephanie

My wife's legs are way longer than mine, no hand me downs from her!
And don't get me going on tops.  She gives away beautiful stuff all the time.  The only problem is I am a B/C and she is a DD.

Are the GV Amanda pants as stretchy as my Levi Strauss signature blue jeans? I love my stretchy jeans! If so, I'm going shopping.

Not sure of the difference or the sameness, but they do have a nice give to them.
They are soooo comfortable!

It's called HEM, Learn to sew

There's a thought.....I do sew better than her.
Her Capri's come down to my ankles, so there's that.

That's great! I wear a size 7 or 8 undies depending on the brand, so I'm guessing size 8 GV Amanda's? I checked them out on Amazon. They are lovely. That's it! Amazon, here I come for a couple pairs of capris. Thanks for the great find!

That was a dear friend that needed help embedding a pic.... I thought I had removed it from this thread in my endeavors.

Lots of stuff happening, some humdrum, some distracting, some just working it out, some tears.

When trying to hold on, I lose my grip sometimes.
