A New Chapter: Alaskan Danielle's Chronicles

[Jessica]

@Alaskan Danielle

To my readers and followers:

I have only lived in the home I am in now for a little over 2 years and I am already thinking of clearing out stuff and getting rid of things that I no longer want and no longer need....
....I am in the mode of De-Cluttering.

             An effective method of de-cluttering is as follows:

                    Hold every object that you own.
                      If it does not bring you happiness,
                           You throw it away.

                     Now I am in the process of throwing out
                        all of the vegetables and fruit
                            my too-small bras, the electric and propane bill
                                the scales, mirrors, cameras
                                     and my treadmill !!!!

Hugs,
Danielle

Two years is nothing when it comes to the 20 years worth that my wife and I have collected.
We have found Marie Kondo.....We love Marie Kondo 💕💕💕
We are going through the office right at the moment ......oof!
We are actually having a lot of fun reliving the past, which has Sparked Joy between us.
This is also something we both will feel great relief in life through.

I guess it depends on how big the stones are   

Certainly a mystery and obscure measurement for most Americans.
.... a stone = 14 pounds according to google.

Yes, I remember when our family immigrated to Canada, having to learn new units of measure.  And I'm not even talking about metric.  Yes, I remember expressing weights in stones back in Britain.  And I even still remember that a stone is 14 lbs.

But coming over here, and volumes are measured in cups.  Surely it depends on how big your cups are.  (LOL, That sentence has a whole 'nother context on this forum!)  Oh, you mean that a "cup" is actually a unit of measure??  Argh!

The only system that makes sense is metric.  At least we don't have to ask if it is an Imperial litre or an American Litre.

It is almost 7:00pm Thursday night and I just finished a quickie take-out dinner from the coffee shop... a Turkey Club and a small side salad.   My part time gal agree to stay late and work with me so I provided her dinner.   

We have another couple hours of work tonight....   I had 2 clients come in today that each of them brought in a big box of mixed up reciepts and poorly kept records... so we are going to spend the evening sorting stuff out so we can try to get their tax returns in order....  when clients do that sort of thing my resulting bill will certainly be higher priced... 
....obviously  time = money.

I have 2 of my business computers churning away on some tax work for some other clients...  this is a busy busy time of the year.

Hugs, and hugs,
Danielle

It never ceases to amaze me that people bring in boxes of crap and say 'here do my taxes'.  OMG. 

It reminds me of a boss I had in my days at Hertz.  Guy was a VP and managed 250MM of business.  Every 6 months he would drag me into a conference room and dump a box of receipts and say 'I'm in trouble on my company credit card, I haven't done expense reports for 6 months, you've got to help me"

Nothing like creating your own problems.  Business will always be good for you Danielle.

To my dear Readers and Followers:

OK, I have been getting posts and PMs asking me about "WHO" was responsible for giving me the coffee with the PINK lid, chocolate chip cookie, and the chocolate heart.....

The answer may surprise you as it did me...
I had been thinking like some of you that my ToothFairy Suitor#4  and/or  NotSoShyGuy Suitor#3 were the ones that brought me the morning coffee and treats... the PINK lid was a "signature" item of  #3 in the past.... 

To my complete surprise it was all orchestrated by Barista Suitor #5   ....   she delivered it to me that morning when I did not go to the coffee shop first as I almost always do each morning, she must have noticed that I did not come in, instead I went straight to my office.   
I did not call or ask ahead of time about if I wanted coffee... it seems that she knows what I like.

It's a good thing that my ToothFairy#4 didn't come into my office to witness the delivery!!!   Almost every weekend my ToothFairy and I have dinner out or at each other's home...
....she is my main squeeze for sure but it looks like the Barista #5 is getting more into giving more of her attention. 

Barista #5 and I have done small shopping trips together in the past and a few casual meals out....  she is so nice ...  but I am not trying to encourage her in any way....   
....I do not want to stress out my Dental Hygienist ToothFairy!!! ... but it goes without saying that I enjoy all of the attention.

I am now at work trying to get the pile of work off of my desk and in the process or making tax returns out of it all.

More later!!!
Hugs,
Danielle

I will be entertaining your guesses about WHO delivered the coffee, cookie and chocolate heart to me.

.... Hmmm, very interesting...
Lately when I go to my "old" Hunted Prey thread to review some older posts and comments by my readers and followers I am usually seeing that there is a regular member or two ... and perhaps 1 - 3 guests visiting the thread...   

.....even though I moved on to my present "new" Chronicles thread here just a few months ago
after last Christmas on December 30, 2018... 

I find it VERY interesting that there are those
that are still visiting and reading my Hunted Prey adventures!!!

Hugs and best wishes to all of my readers and followers...

It takes a lot of research when writing a screenplay, especially for this one!
The Hunted Prey will be a blockbuster!

How amazing! Barrister #5 still a hot contender. I am still amazed by her idea of the pink lids.

I don't think anyone here is surprised by the attention you receive by your 3 suitors in hot pursuit and we are all very happy for you being in the center of such positive attention.

Your #5 seems especially sweet, noticing you are too busy to get coffee and taking charge of a successful day for you.

I am also glad to read you can still find time in your busy work schedule for some quality time with your Tooth Fairy. You still need a break and a fresh mind always works better.

Have a great weekend...

Sarah

I agree! "The Hunted Pray" is a blockbuster! A definite must read to catch-up to your new chapter.

Kudos to Barista Suitor #5. She is a sweetie and that's because you are a sweetie. But we all know ToothFairy Suitor #4 is closest to your heart.

Hi Daniellle,

Both your threads are very positive examples of how a transgender person can navigate this difficult world.  I can see why people are drawn to them.

Thanks for creating them,

Thank you Paige, Donica, Sarah1972, Jessica, Kim, Kathy, Kelly, Faith, Davina, KatieP, Pascale, Cynthia, Katie Jade, Sonja, RandyL, JanePlain, Chrissy, Rachel, Maid Marion, Stephaniec, Liz, Colleen, Laurie, Randim, Judi, Liina, Chelsea, Jenny, Christinej78, Steph2.0, Denise,
and ALL of my recent followers in this last month for your very kind and affirming comments.

I count myself as very fortunate to have YOUR acceptance here on the forums and also in how I have been accepted in my "new" town since I relocated here as a woman well over 2 years ago back in December 2016.
If I would have stayed back in my old hometown, in my old job that I started before I transitioned, and around my still to this day non-accepting family and old "friends" I would have missed out on the most joyful and happy times of my life.

Again, thank you all for your positive responses to my personal threads and comments.

Hugs for everyone!!!   Wishing you success and happiness.
Danielle

Dear Emma:
Thank you for sharing your way-too-kind thoughts.   

Oh, and yes, this tax season is hellish but frankly all of them have been in the past, I am just happy and thankful for the business that I get as a result ... but do I wish that it was more spread out over the year.   Fortunately I also have business and personal clients that need me year round for financial planning and business financial work.

Again, Emma, thank you for your comment and posting on my thread.

Hugs and best wishes,
Danielle

I agree about tax hell.  I am just tired of the income and earning restatements this year.  I am glad you have people who to get you coffee through this tax season.

I still have to get my own

[Donica]

The world is a much better place with you in it Danielle. I am proud to know you. Thank you for all that you do.

Big hugs girl!!!!!

You have been so nice and welcoming Danielle, I just have say thanks for being here, you've made being here on these forums very enjoyable.
