Had a little play with this 'Scrivener' book organising software, so far finding a great tool for procrastination.
Watched the original version of Return of the Jedi.
Danced to SClub7 with 5 year olds.

Supervised a call center with 30 people working and got to talk to a few very special customers, one of them told me that I'm a horrible person for refusing to give him free shipping. His argument was that he didn't feel like paying for it. Being in charge with a head cold, and on dayquill was interesting, in a kind of fun way. I also went with my best friend and some very tasty herbs on a tour of Vermont dirt roads. I posted on a message board too.

It was 80 here today, so I did 20 miles on the bike (about 5 of them off-road), wrote some, finished a book and now I'm going to go to my favorite bar and watch the debate.

I spent almost five hours working in the ceramics studio, then came home and didn't have enough time to get bored before heading out to play MTG with some friends. A full, fun day.
My calves are killing me though. I don't know what I did to piss them off.

Checked out the Student Union Barrel at Uni. Universities are full of young people, but they still stand around drinking beer and saying stupid things like we did. It was fun, in a not-actually-doing-anything kind of way. Came home and watched a couple of episodes of 'Torchwood' to raise my bizarreness quotient.

"Oh, that's gorgeous!" "It's a poodle!"

I kept up with all my responsibilities even though I wanted very much to just curl up in a ball and stop trying.
I have to pair that statement with something saner and happier. My daughter got ready so happily this morning, with no meltdowns or growling, that we had like an hour to kill and so we made smoothies. That was fun.

Went to the library and got three books:
Went to the bank and cashed the check I got for the remaining balance of my pell grant.
Then went to school and took a test.
And now I'm crocheting an amigurumi of Calcifer from Howl's Moving Castle and watching The United States of Tara on Netflix.
You should read the other two in the series. They are all great.
- The Ask and The Answer by Patrick Ness
- Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment by James Patterson
- In This Sign by Joanne Greenberg

I passed with the new respite provider even though she's a lot older than me and her kid is younger than mine. People are weird. And I rested. I took a shower. I played my kid's game boy. I dealt with my utility accounts. I made arrangements for tomorrow's plans. I talked to people. I tried to deal with my new apartment manager and my lease. Not sure what else but there's someone waiting for me and I should probably get on a bus. I'm still looking for my scrabble set. I'm drunk. ;D

I spent all day in bed with a nice boy. Our relationship is so strange. We have physical comfort with one another because we used to date, but I've changed a lot since then.
He took me to a strip club last night that had naked girls, something we'd always planned to do once I got my ID corrected. The dancers noted my wide-eyed amazement and apparent barely-of-age status. They both had really good taste in music. The bartender was a tiny old lady, which made me grin. I had so so much fun. I wasn't sober though so I kept forgetting to act like a regular straight guy. Dudes in girly bars don't like to be looked up and down by other dudes. There were some sexy lesbians there too, but I wasn't even on their radar when I wasn't blocking a pool shot or something. :laugh:

I did some crocheting, went to therapy, and watched people on Tumblr make fun of Rick Santorum. A day well spent.

I learned the other word from Tumblr. :embarrassed: And crocheting really isn't that tricky. It's knitting that's a bitch. I can't seem to get the hang of knitting.

Boxed up and posted my just-ex-girlfriend's books and DVDs and other stuff, as part of a prisoner-exchange deal. Wondering whether including the breadknife I'd promised her was a weird thing to do or not - but it was already polka-dot wrapped, so let it pass. Ripped her DVDs first so I can eke out the misery ::) - and because I still want to know what her favourite films were all about. Ate chocolate. Wallowed. You know the drill... now watching Garden State.

i finally finished spreading hay all over my garden so when its time to plant all i'll have to do is push the hay to the side and drop some seeds in and watch them grow.. I am using the ruth stout method.. she has a video but died around 98 yrs old.. i use 8 large round bales and cut them with my chainsaw to make spreading the leafs around verses trying to peel bits and pieces off a giant roll.

I started the day drinking coffee under a giant 1,000 year old baobob tree then my driver took me into town to get a laser printer and we did some other shopping. Then we went and had a really good pizza cooked in this large stone, wood fired oven and drank a beer. Then driving back to my office along the beach road, we found a local fisherman with 9 small lobsters and we got them for $20.
Went and met with the the finance manger for a large multinational oilfield service company about some money they owe us and set up a meeting for tomorrow morning to get a bunch of invoices signed and make sure they are cleared through their system.
Had a phone conference with the owner of the company then met a colegue and we drank Mozambican beer and had a wonderful lobster dinner on the cheap! It was a very nice evening!!! :-) And now, it sounds like there is a freakin monsoon outside. Raining VERY hard with lots of thunder. Six weeks left and I can leave Mozambique and head back to the US!

woke up at 7:30 after about twelve hours sleep, made breakfast, took the kid to school, went to grab a notebook from wilkos then stopped off at starbucks and had an espresso and did some writing until the music started to annoy the crap out of me- don't try to write while some depressive chick moans a nasal country track out of unstrategically placed speakers. ain't happening. went home, biked/HIIT for an hour while watching karate kid, had a shower, had lunch... walked up through town to college for a maths assessment and totally passed the whole time: got called a young man for the first time ever, was internally ecstatic but pretended to be totally nonchalant like it happens all the time. met up with this awesome girl i recently made friends with and went to see this means war... not bad, not amazing, pretty funny, couldn't get past the whole rom com thing though. then we grabbed a juice, chatted, she had an appointment to go to and i went to see if my piercer was in his studio. yet again he was awol, so i went to pick up the kid from school. got home, made dinner, flapped around on the internet until her bedtime, put her to bed, did an hour of yoga and some weights, then replied to some messages on facebook and that leads me up to right about now, procrastinating a post i owe on a writing site.
good day was good.

I got measured for a bra in Marks & Spencers, and thoughtlessly insulted twice in the process. It was more funny than painful, though: I'd already blown my trauma fuses just walking in there and saying "This is embarrassing, but I'm going through a gender transition and need some advice on bra sizes, please." The woman at the counter turned to her colleague and said "Can you help this gentleman?" ::) - and then they took me to a gents' changing room to fit me ::) ::) ::). I'm going to write a letter explaining why this is less than appropriate, in the hope that they get provided with some needed training. I don't read malice in this on their part, just thoughtlessness (it's the price I pay for preferring trousers). Oh, and I got some good advice and a bra out of the experience :).

Well done Padma! You're probably right about there not being any malice, they were probably just not versed in how to respond to your situation. A little sweetness will always avail you of much better results in the long run than a lot of vitriol!

Those vending machines can be heaven for "pickers". Heck I found a lot of change behind the vending machine in my old high school. If only I had saved that change -sighs-.
Didn't do anything today but yesterday I took the change I had wrapped up and converted it into paper money.

I dump all my pocket change in a large pickle jar and roll it later when the jar gets almost full. The bank tellers must love to see me coming lugging in all that metal. A pickle jar will get me $85 - $100 to go in savings, money that otherwise would just be pissed away on stupid stuff.

My cat broke my PS2 and I had enough change to buy a new one for over $100 but that was about 3 years ago. I'd like to pour all of my change into one big savings but with the strict way I'm saving I can't. Normally any change I get will be dumped into my main piggy bank but most the change I come into now goes into my surgery fund. Because of that I only have a little over $7 in my main piggy bank and that comes from breaking change from my regular money.

What I did today. Huh. I did nothing. That is a fabulous achievement. Yesterday I called the mental health agency and said that my daughter could go to emergency respite care or she could go to jail, but she wasn't staying in my home. It took some doing but I made sure she didn't get arrested and she didn't kill me either. Then I got trashed, as fast as I could. I wanted to give up. I might be getting evicted. She screamed a lot Saturday. They've warned us about that. I told her that I won't sleep outside for her, that if she gets us homeless then she's on her own, but I didn't mean it. I was just scared.
I'm not much less scared now, honestly. Nobody likes us, nobody wants us, and we have no safety net. Those parameters are open to a bit of interpretation but have always been in place. I don't know why they bother me more now than they used to. So what I've done today was I kept a handle on myself. I am a superhero.

Great to get a really properly fitting bra isn't it. :) I got a couple myself last week from the specialist bra shop I use, since I have had a recent increase in boobery. If you become a regular customer they will lift their game, especially if you are dealing with the same staff each time. Also having a noticeable bust will help ;)

I got some stuff done. Finished all the documentation for this quarter's food stamps, including photocopies of my driver's license and court order so they'll change my name on my medicaid too. I hate being called my old name at the doctor's office, so this is big. I got my new bankcard and my hard copy driver's license in the mail today, and requested new checks, and got my name changed on my Trimet ID. I faxed my name change proof to PayPal. I negotiated my rent down with my building's new owners. Just for a month, but that's long enough for me to get out. I got my daughter's meds without punching the racist in line behind me when he was loudly making fun of the "jibber jabber" of the "habibs" in line ahead of me. I found out that if I switch my preference from 1 bedroom to studio, I can cut down my HUD waitlist time by a few years. I managed to not get trampled after bumbling into the Timber's opening game. That was madness. I got some stuff done and I got through the day. :)

Dude, this needs some further explanation I would think.
It was for our church and originally I was apprehensive about it but my mom was getting on my nerves so I figured I would go just to get out of the house and go for the food. We played games and what not and all I talked about was anime and video games and everyone else was so confused. This meeting was pretty much to get to know each other a bit more.
Next month they plan on doing facials at the next meeting. I may skip that one. >.>

Quote from: Renee D on March 17, 2012, 08:51:22 PMI tried to focus on doing pretty much nothing, but I had to do one wonderful thing. I even kept my kid out of respite for it. We went to the episcopal church down the street to attend their Radiohead liturgy. It was a fundraiser for their food programs. I gave them the money I had in my pocket, which I feel weird doing knowing full well I'm going to turn around and utilize those food programs later. Lol whatever. The service was amazing. They covered mostly songs from Ok Computer and Kid A, but there was a choral a capella rendition of Creep that turned out way better than I would have expected. Most of it was more or less the same arrangements and instrumentation of the original songs. Paranoid Android made my kid get scared. ;D
pretty much nothing. I need to not do the same tomorrow though.
I had the thought that all of it was pretty heavy material to be dealing with at church. Then I remembered what churches are for. :laugh:

I drank 4 cups of coffee and played my daughter's game boy. I also did some apartment hunting (online) and packing and cleaning. It's stressful. When I realized how stressed I was I stopped and read some stories in a fairy tale book. That was nice. Despite all the racism and misogyny I kinda miss the old storybooks, the ones that were mostly folk tales or at least unattached to copyright and marketing.

I took my shot, got my kid off to school, drained the blisters on my foot (ewww), did some dishes, confirmed with Easter Seals about what site to go to. Making phone calls trying to get some other stuff done.

Then I took her to Sammy Johnson's house, which was not open but we like to wander London when together. Somehow we found ourself in Angel, where we used to live, so we went to our favourite place and had coffee and cake and liquors.

I also packed some boxes and donated a bunch of stuff, and did a whole lot of staring into space slackjawed. I tried to cover up for my emotional distance by keeping my daughter busy. We walked from downtown to Fred Meyer, slowly and casually enough for her to talk. She needed that as much as she needed the exercise. The weather was wonderful.

Gathered and burned another pile of brush from invasive species i have removed near my house and garden. Its starting to look like its natural state with many small natural plants getting a chance to grow and not be strangled by vines or stickers.

Got our brooder all set up with food and water and got the chicks that just hatched loaded in. We also added three more kiddie pools in the yard area for the ducks and geese. Of course Lucy the goose had to be petted, snuggled, and nose kissed while the water was filling us since we were out there.

Felix, that is fantastic.
Today I slept in, mowed the lawn, chatted with my neighbor about Scottish music, and studied. Up for this afternoon is hunting for a western style shirt and square dancing. Oh, also my friend sent me a link to Norah Jones' new album, so I've been listening to that too. It's really good.

Today was kind of insane. Today was really insane. I think I got an apartment, though. Maybe. We have a cosigner now, so my low income and my friend's under the table job won't be such barriers.
The guy was suspicious of me and my living with a 12 year old and not being employed until he A) learned how old I am, B) learned I am her biological mother, and C) saw the kid in action. Lol she was really hyperactive and weird and disruptive today. I mentioned that we'd moved from alabama, mentioned I had ankle surgery recently, and he really just stopped making assumptions after that. I'm glad he doesn't think I'm a 20 year old stoner or whatever he thought at first. :P
It was kinda funny when he asked where her mom was. :laugh:

Jack in the Box egg rolls are really good. Three pack with three sweet 'n sours too.

Something triggered me and I went from anxious to angry to apathetic to hopeless. It's an apathetic kind of hopeless, so it's not particularly dangerous, but it doesn't help anything.
I did some useful stuff today and some things I should have enjoyed, but I feel attacked and without allies. Today it feels like all I "did" was feel too much and think too much.

Quote from: Malachite on April 27, 2012, 02:50:50 PMI just cut up old jeans. I sew with waxed dental floss because it holds better and longer. It seems like you wouldn't have much to lose if you sew it crooked or something for lack of practice. Just maybe use a leather needle since you won't be able to get your hand inside the mattress.

What I did today was meet the new landlord and do final inspections and paperwork, and then came home and panicked about how not-ready the house is. Packed and cleaned, washed some dishes, panicked some more, yelled at my kid when she refused to clean the jars of dirt I found on top of her dresser, ugh. Lifted way more than I should.
Accidentally tried to touch my friend (ex-boyfriend) in a way that male friends don't touch each other. :laugh:

I can't wait until I start to develop non-patchy and noticeable shadow less than a couple of days after shaving, because I hate looking baby-faced for a while...or well, at least that's how I see myself.

Now I'm still listening to J-Rock and am about to walk my baby (dog) 'cause she needs to go and she always makes me happy.

I had read several years ago that if you join the Canadian military that you can have your SRS paid for. The article piqued my curiosity as I had done two enlistments previously in the U.S. military and all I got was a purple heart and PTSD.

Had lunch and great conversation with my daughter; had a productive session with my therapist on the unexpected topic of my relationships with my parents; I reached out to help someone but I don't think I made the difference I was hoping for.

Perhaps it will make a difference in the future and you may never know it. I've done that several times and not let the original person know they helped me.

Sometimes about once a year I feel the need to go sit in the garden at night with a cup of tea and just think. So I did, next door have fairy lights in there garden and the other next door for some strange reason has a clock on there little green house. I like them they make everything so peaceful. I got comfy on the bench, played some of the more soothing U2 songs, saw a few stars. I even saw a cloud shaped like a dragon.
Then I wondered about that saying 'there's plenty more fish in the sea'. I wondered about my fish, what she might be like, where she is and will I ever find her. I hope I do...soon. I have quite a few friends if you count the ones at work, not so many if you don't. There's a gap though and it makes me feel lonely.
I like my garden visits, perhaps if I'm still in this strange mood tomorrow night I will do it again.

My friend brought me to a restaurant at a truck stop called T/A in Rogers, MN. He treated me for graduating from college. The restaurant serves yummy food & seconds are always free, if you can finish the first meal. I certainly don't have problems eating seconds, but I got this HUGE lasagna & could not finish eating it. So I took the left overs home. The food was very delicious! :P

Lol. Something I will never do again, fb is just way too creepy for me to handle. It appears everywhere.
That sounds really lovely (the garden part). Sometimes I think about sitting in our yard and doing the same. It's not as nice as yours sounds...I really want to get a house and make it beautiful. Like a home. *drifting* As for the "fish", I'm sure you'll find her. :) I felt the same before I met my ex, and I feel the same now...that gap...but the world is a huge place for a reason, and there's a ton of people out there to love.
Creepy Is the right word for fb.
The garden is lovely but it's very small and you can't do it during the day cause all you hear us a bunch of screaming kids running up and down the street. I would go for it and try it in your yard if I was you. It's great for thinking. Maybe I will find her I guess I should just keep looking.
I went to 2 different shopping centres today and neither had what I wanted. On the plus side I got David Bowles greatest hits =D

I just lost my temper and told my roommate to shut up about something. I'm not sure what happened. We were talking, and then we were arguing, and I didn't understand what we were arguing about, so I said let's just drop it, and he kept going and going and I snapped at him and he stormed off.

I attended peer counselor training for the GBLT National Helpline, and it was like drinking from a fire hose. Some of the call scenarios were triggering, but they stressed that we won't be taking calls solo until we feel we're ready for it.
I hope I can do this. My support system has been so unbelievably great, that I want to be part of a support system for others. But, I feel my confidence wavering. The next 6 weeks will be educational, indeed.

Then I took my mum house hunting, I'm going to pay off the mortgage on there old one and stay there because I like it. Then we went and booked a holiday to the carribean for a few weeks. I also rang my best mate because we want to go to China and Japan so we'll be looking into that over the next few days.
If only....I went to work all day.

I took my daughter for her first-ever paid haircut, and then ate and walked around. I got her a sparkly headband for her new hairdo, and she got a paddleball toy at the dollar store that she named "Allball" (after Koko's kitten) and gave a personality to.
We watched part of a documentary about tunnels. I did a lot of unpacking and cleaning and making plans I don't have the energy for. :)

We finally got clearance on the mold tests so we can start to rebuild our kitchen (dishwasher had leaked and soaked the subfloor and caused mold). Unfortunately they took up the tile flooring in order to dry the subfloor and seal off all the mold. So last night we got the last of the supplies we needed. We slept really late today so by the time we started working on the new tile it was after noon. We took a break and got cleaned up for dinner out (since we don't have a kitchen), but we started working again when we got home. We finally finished up at a bit after 11pm.

It has to dry tomorrow and then on Monday we will put down the grout. We should have someone mid week come out to measure for new cabinets and countertops so we can send a quote to the insurance to get them replaced.

My kid was up very late last night (with diarrhea and nightmares, which is an unfair combination) and my roommate was up very early (to go to work), so today was strange. I got to bed at like 3am and back up at like 6, and then when Leah went to sleep at noon I did too, and then I got up at 3ish and I woke her at 5pm. She went to bed and fell asleep immediately at 9:30. Which is just a bunch of numbers, I know.
Today I only wore one ankle brace, and today I sorted and got rid of lots of old unhappiness. Paperwork, writings, drawings, photos. I hashed out some things with my roommate. I did some dishes. I did my pushups and stretching, and I was friendly to my neighbors.

I took a nap, yelled at my kid a bit, took an oatmeal bath, stood on the porch awhile and watched the trains, and spent a lot of time lying around. Also debrided and disinfected. That part was yucky.

I challenged my social anxiety and went to the strip mall to get the Pringles I wanted even though it was after school, and teens take up the entire sidewalks around the strip mall. I was practically dying before I went, almost at the verge of a panic attack, but made myself go because I knew if I didn't I'd be feeding the anxiety and ultimately making it worse. So...it was fine once I got there. I felt nervous in some parts, but held up my head, and claimed my victory Pringles.
Congrats! :D Pushing yourself into situations that cause anxiety are a great way to over come it. :3 I have social anxiety and to help overcome it I was instructed to enter situations that make cause the anxiety to spike. After two years, I've gotten loads better. Hell, I went to a movie on Saturday by myself and that would have been impossible even a month ago.
Teaching last semester also helped greatly with my social anxiety. I now know I can live through the anxiety -- that it isn't going to kill me.

My dad side grandmother is blind & has been doing nothing but staying in her apt. Yesterday, I decided to hold her hand & guide her around a small park, so she could get some exercise & fresh air. Today, I brought my blind grandmother shopping at a grocery store called "Cub Foods".

I went to work. got called in for yet another meeting with HR and I drew my line in the sand. They want me to continue using the unisex bathrooms, despite being given a copy of the new EEOC rules. Even if I got my gender marker changed, HR stated that they would still ask me to use the unisex restrooms because "some women still see you as a man." So I'm done being nice about it.

:D That was funny V. M. but in a different way. There is a movie called "Feast 2" that I watched last week & there is a part where this guy tries to save this baby from the monsters but instead he has no choice & throws the baby to the monster. I know it was sad because the baby died but it was also very funny. I never laughed so hard in my life. Here's the part in the video:

I suck at PS3 games in general. :(

But you can handle Call of Duty, and I can't even do that, haha.
I remember when I first played GameCube, it was just as hard (and nauseating) as PS3. Wii was easiest of all of them, I think. If I gave it regular practice I could probably get it down.
I am kind of like that with Xbox. I've always stuck with Playstations because of how their controllers are designed. The Xbox controllers are a little bit too clunky for me (probably would have been the same with a gamecube controller). That combined with a bad game is a recipe for misery.

I used to be like that, but after my ps2 I went ages with just a PSP and then got an Xbox 360. Now I just cant get to grips with the playstation controllers, the buttons seem too shallow and it doesn't fit comfortably in my hands.

I'm still working on trying to get my daughter to bathe properly and put her dirty things in the laundry sack. This kid will look right at me and lie about whether she used shampoo or washed herself, even when it's very obvious she didn't.
I'm getting overwhelmed. I lost my temper today. She was at respite for 24hrs, and since she got home she's not said much but "NO." She kept slamming doors and instead of admitting that it makes me scared and sad I just got angry and exploded yelling at her.
It's probably karmically logical that when I was stomping around and being hostile back at her, I moved a piece of furniture too roughly and hurt my hand.
Sometimes I forget that I'm supposed to be the grownup.

I haven't been eating much lately, but I really haven't been hungry. I've been kind of depressed lately. :'( I haven't been motivated & haven't done much lately. I usually just lie on my bed a lot & relax. Sorry to share my life's problems. My endo prescribed me testosterone a while ago, but I haven't taken it in a while now. When I took my testosterone during when I was depressed before, it really didn't help much with my depression.

Just kidding!
I actually walked in with a a bounce in my step and slapped the card down with a grin.
He said "Okay. I'll authorize the changes."
:D It felt good!

Maual labor fiddling with drywall this whole week... I think we're done cutting holes for now, thank god- all that practice, about six hours of sawing, then a day of more sawing, my body still aches... But we're using drills now, so hopefully the power tools will give me a little reprieve for now. My arms are tired as nuts, though.

Today I went back to sleep after my kid got on the short bus. I slept until one pm. It was the last day of school, so I figured why not. I usually live on like 5 hours or less (which is stupid considering I don't have a real job) and the sleep was honestly much more useful than anything else I might have gotten done. When she got home I managed to stay calm through an hour or so of meltdowns (pencil sharpener wouldn't work right, sneakers don't match her dress, she can't draw her chibi manga princess quite right, etc) while making phone calls to work out various mundane problems.
Then we went to the library! Yay!
Yeah. I made dinner and stuff, and made sure bathing happened, and got the power company to hold off a few more weeks, and went to the post office, and ensured safety throughout, but the library was the big thing. Woohoo. Books rock my socks.

Last night my friend and I finally got the old rusted-in pedal off my bike and got the new one on. It took hours and the application of plenty of penetrating oil, a blowtorch, a hammer, a drill, and lots of brute force. Then I discovered that the seat post I bought is the wrong size. My bike has been such a pain in the ass, but it's pretty and I loves it.
We also looked up the serial number and dated it to September 1972. It's in amazing condition for being 40 years old. Most of the parts were original when I got it.

I washed my full body binder and thought it had dried. Turns out the compression fabric has but the cotton fabric around my groin area hasn't and I have to wear it now because I'm going out. I thought it didn't really matter even though it feels like I'm wearing a puddle but then a horrible thought came into my head. I'm driving, I'm going to be sat down, what if the damp soaks through and makes it look like I've peed my pants :o

Hi Tom,
Hummm, don't worry. Each gender has it's own unique set of challenges. Like doing ones nails at traffic lights. NOT ON (anymore, after wearing a bottle of nail polish LOL) I still remember quite vividly walking though a shopping centre last year in a new skirt I'd recently bought. Unfortunately not having the hips to catch anything, my attention was draw to the feeling of something passing my knees. Yes, you guessed it. The new skirt. Fortunately it was a black skirt and I WAS wearing a black slip under it. Colour me RED. ;D :embarrassed: A hasty diversion to Myers to buy a belt
Remember that necessity IS the mother of invention. Should it happen again, use two sanitary pads, back to back to avoid chaffing. That should soak up any unwanted moisture.
Hope you don't burn your tail off, could be awkward to explain. Enjoy your outing.
Be safe, well and happy
Lotsa huggs
Catherine

My daughter threw a punch at me at the library when I only let her get 5 of the manga books in the huge stack she had picked out. First time she's gone for me in ages, though. Usually lately she just kicks furniture and stuff.
Also I spoke with someone I have a silly crush on, and he doesn't seem at all aware of it.
And I ran errands, read a book, and tried really hard to get respite arranged. I went to the comic shop down the street and rifled through the dollar box. I cancelled my therapy appt because my daughter's psychiatrist is out in the suburbs, and we don't have time tomorrow to do much other than get there and back.
I took a shower but I still feel filthy. It was hot today.

Your lucky. My dad binned all my toys without ever asking me which is a shame because I had some really cool cars and a Buzz and Woody. I managed to save my game boy colour though luckily.
All I have left is a toy tram from San Fransisco, a yoyo and a tractor.
I went to see Jaws today instead of yesterday at the cinema. Then I went to the shopping centre and bought my next graphic novel which was Captain America AGAIN. I really don't like him *sigh*.
Came home worked out for 45 mins and the had a bath.

Did my monthly selfless act by donating Platelets and Plasma today (total #26 donations), but what a ordeal it was as there computers were down, they had new forms and I had to be logged in as a new donor like everyone else today, then they had to seek permission from there head MD (that's off site) for me to donate as they couldn't access the computer records/notes witch says I'm fine to donate,
The girls there said I would be fine as I'm a regular donor but stupid protocol says if the computer files are down they have to speak to there head MD if your trans...
Oh well you get that sometimes with there stupid criterias ..
But the girls there are always great and there is a free drink n snack after the 70+ minutes of hard work watching the bloody machine witch keep me going back there...

I'm so bored today I'm actually going to reply to this!
Watched Wimbledon ladies final, taught 2 music lessons, lounged on the couch with my Beatles book, dozed off for ten minutes (power nap?), now I'm having iced coffee and watching a documentary about the history of England.
Next, I'm going to put on my shoes and walk down for milk and lottery tickets!
Such is the action on my side of the fence. Can't wait to see what excitement I can come up with for the evening's festivities!!

Felt good because my Uni results are aout. 3 Distinctions and a good Pass. Reassuring to know I hadn't made a mistake in returning to study.
Also discussed apparent rejection by women with a good friend who is a counsellor and also a lesbian. Reassured it's not me, it is definitely them. Which makes me feel a bit better. Will just keep looking for new places to socialise that are more inclusive.

"Sloppy Joe" is an old term here for a baggy jumper! What?
Checked out a new gay friendly venue in town with a couple of friends. Looks like it will be a regular socialising spot now.

My husband handed me my phone and I dialed the emergency number while he was still there right in front of me going on and on in an incoherent manner. He seemed to realize he was in trouble when I was yelling to the police on the other end "THERE'S AN UNKNOWN MAN IN OUR HOUSE!!". He hobbled out the door, got on a bike and took off. THe worst part yet is that we have no idea how he got in.

That's a weird circumstance. I hope he doesn't come back to your place. :o At least he wasn't an immediate threat.

Going to the Biltmore with my grandma, aunt and mother...my grandma and aunt still don't know about the "real me" yet so it's a little bit interesting...to keep the peace with my mother i've at least agreed not to wear a packer and to go by my given name and not speak in too deep of a voice (why was i born in a non accepting mormon family?) i guess its a good thing i'm pre everything and she still has the option for me to enduldge her like that but whatever. its my day off from work and i don't feel like getting in a huge a** argument with her and "ruin" everyone's vacation. so here's to a somewhat back in the closet for a day trip....but i think they kind of have a clue....

Messed up the internet
Unplugged everything and pressed random buttons causing my internet to be messed up even more
Called NetGear to fix the problem
They told me I had to fix the modem and to call my internet provider
I said to myself "screw this you're a man you can fix this yourself."
Randomly flipped a switch
Got it fixed
I can feel that mental testosterone boiling-though I am mad that it cut into my gaming time.
I'm going to play my video game now.....and put a shirt on. >.>

I managed to sit through "The Valkyrie" for 4 1/2 hours without my back playing up too much. Really good. Might even go back for parts 3 and 4. Only another 9 hours. :o

There are a few folks at my apt.s that basically exist on the level of children and they tend to do some rather interesting things including walking into peoples places to tell them rather interesting things
Generally they are harmless and folks have been working with them to get them to knock and wait for a response
I did however have an intruder that tried to rape me one time but he ended up leaving out of frustration and later got arrested for attacking some of the girls from the Uni.
Anyway I've kept my door locked the past few years

Washed dishes
Screamed about how much I wanted to go to Anime Expo
Hit a dead tree with a bad
Slowly learned the Winged Dragon of Ra Chant from Yami Yugi
Emptied residue from 5 cans and crushed them adding them to my recycle bag. I'm trying to get 20 pounds of cans so I can get $10.
Watched a little bit of Sailor Moon
Looked up "You know you're addicted to Sailor Moon/DBZ" when" and "You know when you're an Otaku when...."
Now I'm watching the Anime Expo 2012 Yugi vs Kaiba duel and once I'm done typing this I will scream about how bad I want to go to Anime Expo again. I can't wait until I have top surgery so I can plan this trip.

I always thought that recycling cans was pretty standard, but apparently not. I also found out that at golf courses it's the worst, the garbages are full of almost only cans.
When I was younger we only did cans. Paper and stuff always went into the garbage at school. But this is changing now, schools have bins.
My high school started adding recycle bins when I was in the 10th grade so I did recycle all of my used paper there and now there are more palces that recycle around here but it's still pretty bad. I heard once that if Texas piled all their trash from a year on top of each other then it would be enough to make it to the moon and back....twice.
Today I have updated my Sailor Moon Playlist on Youtube and did some odd dances to those songs and I washed dishes and wiped a table down, brought the mail in and brought our trash can back near our house.

Listen to Sailor Moon music and pretended to cosplay

Went grocery shopping with my mom-she got the grocieries and I got some low priced juices and milk to sell to help fund my top surgery
brought my stuff in
looked at my cats
Watch Yugioh
Watched Hardcore Pawn

Sat around in a darkened room feeling sorry for myself and listening to the pounding in my head! I was at a leaving party for one of my closest friends last night and ended up having a thoroughly good time!
Oh, and after catching my mum reading ghost stories on the internet, I've been purposefully moving random objects around the house >:-)

Sat in a car for 4 hours to get to a hospital in Brighton. Sat in the car another hour because we got there early. Sat in the hospital waiting room for 40 minutes and now I've been sat in car again for 2 1/2 hours with another 1 1/2 hours to go.
So in conclusion today I have sat.

Only recently came back from a friends house, were we watched Eddie Murphy's 'Raw'.
Myself and another friend had seen his routine but the host, plus 2 guests hadn't and were rolling on the floor in stitches. Even though its 25 years old (i know - shock horror!) its still IMHO one of the best comedy routines of all time!
And I'm not even American!

I had a wonderful day at school. Finally getting a grasp on my psychology class. All about human development and babies. Go figure I will grasp that. I have been having these severe "wish I was a mommy mode" Also had a wonderful time in english class. Teacher is freaking amazing. One of the best teachers I've ever had because he actually helps me understand class. When he explains rhetoric and mla I listen. Today has just been awesome. I guess this belongs in the what makes you happy thread. Sorry :P

I made myself do a little socializing (by text and internet but w/e). I got groceries. Went to the post office and pharmacy and bank and idk what else. God my kid is nuts. Making it through the day is really the biggest thing I got done.

Now you tell me! My HP Printer was less than a year old when I ripped it away from my computer and slammed it into the trash can outside. It is RIP in a landfill somewhere. I am horribly tech challenged and find out after the fact that I probably didn't have the correct drivers to interface with my computer and that it was still under warranty when I trashed it.

Spent an inordinate and infuriating amount of time faffing around with my anti-virus software which suddenly decided to stage a protest and refuse to download updates.
After much clicking, downloading, scanning and other general merriment, the issue seems to have been resolved. It might have been helpful to learn that a recent update is the likely cause of connectivity issues rather than spend four hours scanning almost half a million files for a malicious entity which did not exist.
Technical support - you suck. Royally. And with gusto.

I mistook north for south and almost missed a meeting at a place I've been to a zillion times. I witnessed a fight between two smelly homeless people at the library, and not ten minutes later a fight between a clean and beautiful young hipster couple outside the library. The healthy and clean-smelling people made me sadder to see fighting, because it was so much more obviously a spectacle. The smelly homeless people were fighting over a blanket, which seemed like a sensical thing for them to both want.
I also did a lot of mundane things that would turn my brain to mush if I tried to list them.

Today I costumed eight people for a film premier. We only had nine days to make all the clothes too! I'm, so proud of my team right now, they did incredible work in a super short amount of time. Everyone looked great and we had a super fun time doing it :D

Then when I put the binder back on it was a struggle but it made me all visibly flexy and I felt like the Hulk. ;D
I stared at myself when I had my binder on. Because it was fun and it flattened me out. My body looks good when it's all kept in. XD

I've been sitting outside on the computer a lot because I've noticed I cry and worry a lot less when I talk to people and look at funny cat pictures. I just got told by a total stranger that I shouldn't sit outside on the computer so much, but I intend to go home when the battery gets to zero and only stay home long enough to charge it. I'm not hurting anybody or shooting heroin or anything and I don't see why I should apologize for being a couch potato. A park bench potato.

To quote Galaxy Quest: "At least he's outside..." :)
Strangers telling you how to behave is just weird. I was in Paris once wearing big gypsy hoop earrings, and a French dude came up to me out of nowhere and started talking to me very, very fast - but the gist of it I got was that he was telling me if I went to the wrong parts of Paris, bad people would run up to me and rip out my earrings for fun.
I told my friend about this when I got back, and she just laughed and said "Parisians give each other unwanted advice all the time - but he was probably trying to pick you up!"

Instead the day went to watching Doctor Who and eating Thai food with my brother. Still fun, but not exactly the romantic day off I had hoped for.

Today I did as little as possible. Hunkered down. There's a lot of violence next door and I think I did a pretty good job not taking my feelings about that out on my kid. Her violence is not the same. Also we had potstickers for lunch which was nice.

Work but gives one a sense of satisfaction! I do both dill and sweet pickles every few years, can the tomatoes rather than see them go to waste because they all ripen at once.

Managed to pull of a job interview so perfect that my colleagues were doubting I was the same person they deal with every day. So I keep my job for another whole year, although dressing manly did not feel very good this time (and I used to love how I felt with an oxford shirt and my Massimo Duty Blazer I keep for special occasions).
It is strange, some times it feels as if a different person was talking using my mouth, speaking directly from the heart and bypassing all that barrier of self hate that makes me look like a hideous person. I wonder if transition would allow that chained personality to come out.
Next day: Traumatologist appointment. Hip is OK and leg lenght too, but I seem to have a functional short leg. Physiotherapy, special exercising and postural hygiene to recover it and get the hips and pelvis back to a neutral position. For the last 5 years I have not used my left leg a lot and I could have caused the muscle to contract and shorten. Also, slight scoliosis on the upper part of the back that I should counter with swimming or Pilates. Swimming could be tricky in a future.

Also I did email and paper mail and paid bills and stuff.

So, I was meeting with a friend for dinner, and i decided to use the new shortcut to reach the restaurant, a new flight of stairs under a bridge that saves me from giving and incredible turn (about 10 minutes saved).
The problem is that that area is not iluminated at all, so I don't want to end rolling down on stairs again. I switch on my cellphone's flashlight...
And it is full of silent dudes sitting there in the darkness, not moving at all! (Ok, one of the was playing with a smartphone)
I moved as fas as I could without looking back they were starting to act weird when illuminated. As far as I know, thefts have been reported there. But C'mon, It's been 4 months since they opened it and not a single lamp there.

I've been using it for some time in summer when there was enough light, but with time it looks like undesirable people are coming there again. Probably the ones that were in the old route I had to take, after it was restored and illuminated.
I've been in seriously weird places and seen weird people when I used to do urban exploring (and in those times I used to go with the DSLR in one hand and a fist ready on the other), but that was years ago. I was far more stronger, heavier and alert. In my current state of body and mind I don't think I would be able to defend myself.

Then I fixed a garment for a customer who'd brought it in for repair (self employed = no weekends) and now I'm going to make myself a new top for a friends gallery opening tonight :)

Attempted to explain to my cousin and another girl through a Penn and Teller documentary why I think infant circumcision is wrong...key word "attempted". Proved to the other girl that female infant circumcision exists.
Took out the trash
Brought in and took out my sister's laundry
Listened to music

I feel bad because I flew off the handle and yelled at my kid. She was grunting and making animal noises because she was frustrated with having to clean up her sketch paper that was all over the place, and I told her to go upstairs if she was going to act like that and she said no and I just couldn't take it anymore. I roared and it worked but damn. She drives me nuts. No incident reports from school, at least. That's good.
I want to take my shot now but my roommate could come home any minute and he'll freak out if he sees the needle. He's such a wuss. :laugh:

Celebrated my 47th birthday a day early with my best friend and my family. Then had an emotional breakdown over something thats probably a bit trivial but got through it with the comfort of my friend. :)

Happy Birthday, hon! I had one of those meltdowns at my last birthday. Actually, it was the cake that melted down with all those candles. The cake, the ice cream, the siding on the house, the polar ice caps, it all melted! Hugs, Devlyn

Funny! I being older than dirt would become a neighborhood threat with cake and candles, so this year I'm booked for a charter fishing trip off the coast, no meltdowns here! ;D

BTW, It means I drove across town to get the mail and hopefully move home.

I also shoveled snow, and read a bit of Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.

Watched the latest episode of Sherlock (love it!)
Now it's time for dinner and some relaxation :D

Had laser session #7
Practiced alternate picking approach to arpeggios as opposed to sweep picking.
Went through endless papers to just find one lousy thing.
Filed and organized said papers so I don't have to do that ever again.
Lost an important CD, then found it in trash can. (D'oh!)
Made dinner and pizza dough for tomorrow.
Cleaned kitchen.
Made tea.

Showered
Tried to do some writing but hit a block.
Did laundry.
Made chicken burgers for breakfast.
Felt depressed and read random Tumblr pages. :(
Fellasleep for an hour.
Talked to my brother.
Drove to my house and chatted briefly with Keaira.
Drove back to my brother's and had an argument with him.
Talked to Keaira a little more.
NSFW :P

Also, ran by the SPCA to look at kitties and found two that I REALLY love.

http://www.richmondspca.org/page.aspx?pid=872&aid=21959144&cid=1&tid=Cat <-- my pick. he was sooo loveable!!
Think I may go back during the week and adopt them both ^_^ they were hanging out in the same room together and everything! <3

I'm being a little tongue in cheek. >:-)
What I'm actually working on is translating a holistic, integrated, very abstract curriculum structure (written in ridiculously long-winded jargon) into a parent-friendly reporting structure that will be readable, intelligible, and useful for the low-SES parents of rural northern SK.

I was super-productive and ended up taking pictures of a lot of things I've been meaning to post on my Etsy; on top of that, I got a couple packages in the mail and I've started to make some more jewelry. I've also joined these forums (finally!) and I took a kind of day off for 'me' today. I also pet a bunny. uvu

Today I went outside. I also put a pan my mother threw out on the side of the road. It wasn't doing any good in our trash can. I'd rather put it outside for someone to take and scrap it's metal. That way, they can get some money for it, and we can clear up some space in our trash can for other garbage. It's a win/win situation.

I got up at ehh half past six in the morning, snuggled up in the sofa watching the first F1 race of the season with my girlfriend on skype. Then my friend got up, we just nolifed a bit and then we went mountain climbing with the horses. After that I took the bus back home+a boat, went to my parents' house for a few hours, just watching tv and hanging out there. Walked back home, a friend and I agreed per phone to do something together this week, after that I've basically been lurking on the internet and cuddling one of the cats.

I was washing dishes and empying out some of the gunk when I noticed my mom's pocketbook in the trash. She got a new one for her birth day so I'm guessing it was broke. I didn't feel comfortable leaving that in the trash so I dusted it off, searched inside (found some gum and took it out) and put it on the side of the road in case somebody wanted to take it.

Poured fish oil on a couple of ant piles. I don't think the ants liked that too much and within hours, they made an even bigger ant pile somwhere else. Those other ant piles are completely ruined and still have the oil spots on them.
I went to the duck pond with my sister and her kids an played football with my nephew.
Watched two girls fight across the street from me.
Ate pizza and an ice cream cone
Told my sister not to get a "big mac"
Fed my baby nephew
Today:
Took a dump

GIIIIIIRLS IN TIGHT DREEEEEEESSES. damn you Malachite, lol. I am so embarrassed that I like The L Word, but I do. Oh I do.
So far it's been an unproductive day, but maybe I can turn it around:
- Laid in bed trying not to hack up a lung.
- Browsed Susan's.
- Went and got some plain bread to eat (lol)
- More Susan's and listening to music on Itunes.
Haha! The L Word was awesome! I came in at season 3 and was hooked ever since.
Today I participated in Free Comic Book Day. I also went to the mall, dribbled a basketball, ate pizza and some Long Johns, and took a picture with one of the guys from a radio station. I also entered into a raffle ticket contest and signed up for a library card.

From the seasons I've seen, 6 was my least favorite. It was a bit too much drama for me, but as a Talice fan, that kept me drawn in and the ending the entire show with them was pretty freaking sweet.

Yeah, I was really glad they worked it out! As much as I loved Alice and Dana, I thought Tasha was really cool and kind of a nice balance for Alice.

Yessssss, she was! I love how they pushed through even with the deck stacked wayyyyyyyy against them. After Shane screwed Carmen over, these two became my favorite pairing (though I do have a soft spot for Dana and Alice). Plus Tasha is so hot and she's such a Grumpy Cat, but I love her personality.

Took my dog out for a short walk to do her business. There was an older lady out walking with her walker, and a cat just a short distance from us when we came out of the apartment, I show my dog and she goes crazy over it, tail wagging and pulling to get over to it. She wanted to play with it. I don't know why, thing would probably scratch her eyes out. But my dog has always loved cats, but she makes them nervous. This one seemed old, moved slowly as the lady was calling it by name to come to her, it actually seemed interested in Snickers and seemed torn between having to go home or meeting my dog.
Washed the dishes while stretching. One leg up and across the countertop. My mom comes out and sees me, she says "You are ridiculous." "Dancers do stuff like that." I replied, "Well, maybe I want to be a dancer." She's like "I hope not, we got bills to pay."
After dishes were done, continued with my stretches, did this for about a half and hour. One thing I've noticed besides having more flexibility, much of the wrinkles of cellulite that I had running down the back of my thighs, well, its not there so much anymore, and my butt has gotten tighter. That really wasn't the point in this exercising, because I always dreamed of having a big phat ass, but I feel pretty good though, more energized that I'm not sitting on my butt as much. Many days if not at work, I'd pretty much sit all day cross-stitching, only getting up to use the bathroom, find something to munch on, or take my dog out for a walk, or give her some play time, so this workout routine is very good for me. Whenever I start feeling tired I start stretching, wakes me right up. Gotta keep that blood flowing properly otherwise it'll stagnate.
Also, somehow lost weight since I last weighed myself a couple weeks ago, this also not the point of stretching. I was staying between 145-150 for a couple years now, but this morning I was about 139-140. My goal is to be able to do the splits, something I've always wanted to do but never thought I could, but also never had the ambition to really try. I've been at this every day for just about 2 weeks, 2-3 sessions (30-40 minutes at a time) a day now. I still have a long way to go, but in the meantime the other bonuses are very welcomed. I had mentioned to my mom how I noticed the difference on my legs, she rolls her eyes and tells me about how she's gotta hear about this stretching crap all the time now (I go through the extremely a lot, getting into something, then overdoing it, then she has hear about it constantly, I suppose its understandable it could get on her nerves, but so does just about everything I do). I tell her that I have to hear about the same ol' stuff from her all the time too and I don't give her a hard time about it. She asks, "Like what?" I just walked away. I love my mom a lot but she can be so negative, too much. I'm trying to do something good for myself, even told her that she should as well, maybe she wouldn't be hurting so much. She's not up for it. Oh well.
Cross-stitched a little bit. Will do more later and throughout the day. Want to have this one finished by Friday at the latest since its for a monthly challenge (dragons) over at Sprite Stitch. You don't win anything, but its good fun, and gives me the ambition to do something grand and not slack off on it.
Ate breakfast, now eating a bowl of fruit while looking on the internet. Going to get back to stitching soon.
Ooh, a little bit of thunder rumbling outside, raining.
Hmm, this topic could be a good way for me to log down each day, like a diary (but for all to see) of sorts. I tried this on my own when we first moved to Austin early last year but lost my motivation to keep it up, first logging down each day in as much detail as I could recount, but eventually forgetting days, until I stopped completely. Maybe my days were too much the same, so nothing interesting to type about.

Day 3 of 4 day trip... woke up. cat stretch.. grabbed the laptop, 'see how my sisters and brothers are doing, a few giggles, a few tears, and a few concerns.. TV on, watching the Weather Channel, see if we're going to get pummeled here in Dallas before we head west, hoping no hail damage today. Coffee made.. cat stretch again. time to clean up, get dressed and find some breakfast/lunch.

You're a good writer and your introspective commentaries are interesting reading, perhaps you should ask Admin "FA" for permission to start your own blog, lots of folks her have one. ~Shan~

Thank you Shantel. :)
This afternoon once mom went off to work, played with Snickers, more stretching, more cross-stitching. same 'ol routine. Sounds boring huh? Let me make things more interesting if I'm able. Oh, but first, almost forgot something, while mom was getting ready for work and she looked at me and told me that it looks like I'm getting kinda skinny. I told her Lost a little bit of weight. She said that it wouldn't be good for me to loose too much body fat, could make me look more like a man. A bit insensitive but true. She thought maybe the stretching wasn't good for me in that way, I had to remind her, lack of hormones, afterall stretching doesn't build up muscles, and I feel good by the way, even if my mental state is not.
Every day and every moment I can I always have music going too. So what do I listen to? Well, I spent quite some years on my own studying Japanese some years ago, back in the 90's, and while I can't do anything conversation wise, I did learn the written form, kana, and as many kanji as I could during those anime and import game years of my life. I can read all kana I see, and many kanji, but as for understanding all of what I read, well I never got that far (I've never been good at long term devotion to anything, well except the old NES system).
So, I took a really huge liking to any fun songs that are in Japanese that are catchy and I can either hum to or sing along to (I can't sing - just think of a cat being strangled, yeah), and I enjoy them very much, they put me in a happy mood. Long ago it was Bubblegum Crisis, Sailor Moon and Zenki, memorizing many of the songs from each, understanding only what words I know (meaning I get the gist, kind of). Now its J-Pop. Morning Musume got me started on that a couple years ago, can't even take a guess at how many times I listened to their whole entire playlist. Then Buono! caught my attention (listening to them right now, for the umpteenth time). And just recently a couple weeks ago I decided to give Berryz Kobo and ℃-ute a chance. Love it all! Good fun stuff that I'd want to get up and dance to.
I've never really danced before, yeah I'm serious here, was always not only too rigged but had no idea what to do, since I've always been one to have to think things through, instead of just moving with the music. Lately I find myself dancing, just simple hip movements, but hey, its better than just tapping my foot. So when mom's not home (she can't stand anything I listen to afterall, game music is the worst for her, too repetitive, drives her crazy; these girls with their voices not any different) if she left the tv on, that goes off, Youtube goes on.
I hate cross-stitching with the tv on as I can't watch a movie and be able to concentrate on what I'm doing at the same time without problems arising - dammit, stitched in the wrong spot! But music is fine and keeps me going through the monotony of X's. But I always have the window open so I can see the music videos too. Yeah, same issues have occurred as when watching tv, oops. But I enjoy my time spent this way more. I'm not one for watching tv on my own, better to play a game, at least that way I'm actually doing something. By the way I haven't played any video games in ages, too busy with the stitching. See, I have this really narrow attention span, I seem to only be able to do one thing at a time and my focus stays on just that until finally bore of it, then I find a fork in the tunnel and go another direction. I'm kind of like a horse with blinders on.
After my stretching exercises a little while ago, I wanted to check something out. How I walked. I walk really fast, and have always walked with toes pointed inwards (trip hazard there, can't count how many times I tripped over my own toes in my life) but that's the way my feet go. Normally, while I've never had a masculine walk, ever (I used to when living as a guy get made fun of for how I walked), I've never had put much emphasis in walking more feminine like either, I just walk with long strides, especially if in a hurry. And long ago I used to walk on my toes, still do occasional when barefoot. I used to be a ninja on my feet, but as years gone by I found myself crashing my heels of my feet down too hard. lately whenever I could while walking I'd try to put a tad bit of hip action into it. Most of the time I'm just way too tired to care.
So this evening, with my hips all loosened up, let's see if I can get that really nice feminine walk where your hips would sway. I had some space to walk from living room to bedroom, with mirror on wall, so a nice view with no turns or obstructions, just 18 feet forward. I tested myself out, hey, that was pretty good! Turns around, back to beginning. Again. Again. And again still, over and over. Nothing overdone, with my hips all loosened up everything seemed to move very naturally, its like my hips were rotating and rolling freely. So the test was done at different speeds, bare handed as well as with handbag slung over shoulder or carried in hand. Without shoes, with my chunky heels (only nice shoes I have) with my crappy worn out sneakers that double for everywhere including work. What I found is this looked so damn sexy with the heels on. My back straight, hips moving, I looked downright confident (oh, and lipstick just for extra effect). Now, having done this probably a hundred times this evening, could I, or moreso, could my hips remember the motion enough to automatically walk with such grace. I'll keep working at it until it becomes automatic. This is just something fun I was messing with, but it could be good for me, if applied right. Hey, singing to my favorite songs all these years helped with my voice. This I think will be my year of training, I'm not broken or even faulty, but some enhancements could help me feel better about myself.
I have no problems whatsoever passing as a woman, but see, I have very little confidence in myself, and I'm sure it shows in my quiet demeanor, and I don't do anything to make myself attractive (I used to long ago). Actually, that works, don't know how, but the quiet shy girl catches attention way too much that she (me) don't even know what to do with it. So the point of my recent activities, with the stretching to prove to myself I can accomplish something great (there are going to be some very loud woo-hoos first time I am able to completely do the splits, hopefully I don't break myself before then), but also with it comes flexibility (and balance) which works wonders on the muscles, which I figured could help me with posture (I don't hunch or anything when walking unless up a hill, but do a lot with sitting), and I think perhaps with how I walk to give me an air of confidence. This is something I think I'll continue to work on. But I got crap for clothes, that's something else I have to work on too.
Okay, its getting late, mom will be home soon, and I still have a lot of stitching do to that I want finished tonight so perhaps I'll pick this blog thing again tomorrow sometime. Right now my dog is whining for me to play with her, better show her some attention for a bit.

Megan,
It seems that you're doing what I have encouraged so many others to do for self improvement, and that is a wise use of time especially when one doesn't currently have a lot of financial resources at the time for the bigger things. I encourage new trans women to go shopping even if they are flat broke and check out and stay abreast of styles, making mental notes of what things would work together for a nice feminine ensemble and would most complement their particular body type and also effectively hide problem areas.
I chuckled about your feet pointing inward when you walk, I'm just the opposite and walk like a duck tripping over things, even hooking a foot on an occasional kitchen chair leg, it's too late to do anything about it now. (Quack-quack!)

Woke up, took a shower, took my dog out, went to work.
No, I simply just can't keep things this abrupt, afterall what would be the point even for me to post. Okay, going into details as much as I can remember.
Rainy again today, but not like we had yesterday, just wet, so took the umbrella just in case. I certainly didn't want to be stuck at work if by the time I got off it started pouring heavily (it didn't). Not that I care that I get wet, would've been refreshing, afterall it was sprinkling a little. But I do carry a handbag and can't have anything getting ruined. Okay, so its not like I had my laptop with me like I sometimes do when I go out, but hell, I still don't understand why I even bother with a darn umbrella.
Okay, so work, first before clocking in, quickly chomped down a chocolate poptart (most of it - I wasn't in the mood for it I guess) for breakfast (I eat really good - not), then got started. Dock was still as full as it was when I had left Saturday afternoon, guess nobody had time to work anything else out. Oh boy. A lot of @#$% to get out, wonder when the next truck is. I ask the manager what he'd like me to hit first, we agreed on Housewares. I still have HBC (health and beauty care) that I wasn't able to but make a small dent in after truck unload Saturday, but since the next one isn't coming until this upcoming Saturday, I can always do HBC on Friday, and maybe if I have time get some Toys out as well (we are really backed up on toys). Normally we wouldn't be in such overload of freight but the trucks haven't been coming on the days they are supposed to, throws things off.
At one point, actually very end of the day (of work), I had just finished up my last box and was picking up my mess to bring to the back and an old guy asks if he could have my boxes before I broke them down. I already had I told him, but you are welcome to take whatever you want. He asked, "Do you have any tape to put them back together, so we could use them?", very aggravated, rudely like. I said no. He grumbled something about it. Now normally I'd have brushed him off, @#$% it, not my problem, can't have everything, even if they think they are entitled to it, and probably would have been bitching to myself about his unnecessary behavior. But I did the opposite of my usual, I told him (and his wife that came around then) that I may have a few boxes in the back. What do you need them for, like what size? Just to carry what they were intending to buy. Actually now I recognized them, seen them before, always grabbing huge amounts of this and that, such as mass amounts of shampoos and deodorant and the like. The wife was better, not so rude, she replied kinder and thanked me graciously when I brought out two boxes for her. Okay, time to get out of here before my good mood changes.
See, I'm not sure why, but I was in a really great mood today, despite sweating profusely and clothes sticking to me as usual while working. I was humming to myself and just felt good. I don't know why. I didn't get much sleep last night, maybe 4 and a half hours. But if I had to work more than the 5 hours a day that I do, it'd show the rest of that time I'd have to be there, not from the workload, but the customers, they'd soon grate on my nerves and get me mumbling curse words under my breath. None of that today though, not even that old man. Totally unusual for me.
After I clocked out I went back and got my stuff and remembered I needed to buy some new work gloves, the ones I had bought a couple weeks ago have holes in almost every fingertip, so picked some out. Had been contemplating doing myself up more, went down HBC to the make-up. Grabbed some mascara, was going to do the eyeliner thing too but figured best try the mascara first in case I have to stop using it if my sensitive eyes weren't up for it. I wanted so much to polish my nails, they look terrible, which is why I had started wearing gloves while working, but it doesn't help that much. So, I decided to try clear first. I don't know why I bought it, its just one of those things where a longing took over my senses. I used to polish my nails all the time, kept them pretty strong, and they were always very long because of it. But, if I would have stood there longer I'd had said no to it.
Got home, took my dog out. That was a waste, other than getting the electric bill in when I checked the mail, she didn't seem interested in going pee or anything, just got all dirty. Okay, get back in, take her to the bathroom, washed her wet, muddy paws off, then took another shower myself. Then, brushed mascara on my eyelashes, ooh, pretty. Lipstick/lipgloss combo after that, on lips and cheeks. Then comes the nail polish, open it up and get the strong scent of toxic fumes, ack, I don't know about this, I thinks I made a mistake buying this. I did coat all of the nails on my right hand, but after a few minutes, got a couple nail polish remover wipes and cleaned it all off. My health isn't worth the glam (thinking back to when I had vertigo years ago). Its bad enough almost everything we use has toxic something or other, but I don't need to do it for this. I threw it away. A waste of a buck, but whatever. Instead I just contaminated the environment, but that would have happened anyway.
Lunch afterwards, then stretches. Now sitting here at my laptop.
No, I simply just can't keep things this abrupt, afterall what would be the point even for me to post. Okay, going into details as much as I can remember.
Rainy again today, but not like we had yesterday, just wet, so took the umbrella just in case. I certainly didn't want to be stuck at work if by the time I got off it started pouring heavily (it didn't). Not that I care that I get wet, would've been refreshing, afterall it was sprinkling a little. But I do carry a handbag and can't have anything getting ruined. Okay, so its not like I had my laptop with me like I sometimes do when I go out, but hell, I still don't understand why I even bother with a darn umbrella.
Okay, so work, first before clocking in, quickly chomped down a chocolate poptart (most of it - I wasn't in the mood for it I guess) for breakfast (I eat really good - not), then got started. Dock was still as full as it was when I had left Saturday afternoon, guess nobody had time to work anything else out. Oh boy. A lot of @#$% to get out, wonder when the next truck is.

Megan,
It seems that you're doing what I have encouraged so many others to do for self improvement, and that is a wise use of time especially when one doesn't currently have a lot of financial resources at the time for the bigger things. I encourage new trans women to go shopping even if they are flat broke and check out and stay abreast of styles, making mental notes of what things would work together for a nice feminine ensemble and would most complement their particular body type and also effectively hide problem areas.
I chuckled about your feet pointing inward when you walk, I'm just the opposite and walk like a duck tripping over things, even hooking a foot on an occasional kitchen chair leg, it's too late to do anything about it now. (Quack-quack!)
My sister walks like that too. Sometimes I notice other women, even ones that are drop dead gorgeous, looking at them as they pass by, clothes, body, how they walk...funny walk, she walk like a duck. I actually tried it just to see how it feels, very awkward for me and hurts my knees. Okay, enough silliness.
Actually, I looked into this some minutes ago, its not normal, either way, duck or pigeon toed walking. Feet are supposed to be straight forward, otherwise there's something wrong with either your bones or muscles. No wonder when I wear flip-flops my foot tends to occasionally slip off the side and nearly causing me to stumble. But I've been walking this way my whole life as far back as I can remember. I think it stems from me sitting cross-legged all too much and other habits that caused my feet to point more inwards. Now I'm curious about that, I wonder if I can correct it myself. Sounds like another possible goal that I could shoot for. But perhaps not, as I've explained to my mom when trying on shoes, my heel don't rest where its supposed to, always off centered in the shoe I'm trying on, my foot seems to curve too much. So long as it doesn't make me into a cripple what of it. Still I'd like to try to work more on my walking, this will have to go along with having better sitting posture as well...its all connected.

What we both have are congenital defects, my mom walked like a duck too, something about the relationships of knee to ankle, anyway we both have nice legs so we won't carp about it sis!

Got up, dolled myself just to take my dog out for a walk. When I came home I immediately got on the phone with a doctor's office that I had found on the internet last night that is trans-friendly (said it on their site). Costs a lot for that first visit, a whole month's paycheck that I never have (food and bills takes it all), but the lady on the phone was nice and helped me out the best she could with the info I needed at this time, the cost, as well as if I needed a therapist's letter for them to see me and prescribe hormones, I did not need a letter. Sigh of relief there. After all these years I shouldn't think but still I was really worried about this. I was thinking about making this call since last night and I'm surprised I was able to even get any decent sleep from it. Still, nearly $400 for the initial visit is super steep. Gotta find a way to come up with the money, once I do then I can decide on them, or make some more calls. I would have made a few more after that but nerves were so shot I was shaking inside and had to use the toilet. I can get myself pretty upset, and this just over talking with somebody. Its not like they are going to literally bite my head off. I don't know why it is, but as bad as I am around people, I'm worst when on the phone than in person, just never been comfortable with telephones.
Just got through going through all of my logged info on all of my cross-stitches to prepare to sell them so I can get back on the hormones. So much as I don't want to, its either that or somehow convince someone to give me a better job, one I can do with confidence. I don't do anything with them anyway, take 'em out and look at them once in a while. It costs way too much to frame them all and put them up on the wall, so they just sit with no one else to admire them except me. I tried before to sell them (back when my mom and I became homeless) but my price was always said to be way too high, I knew this...guess its because I didn't want to let them go. Just have to figure out the best place and way to get them moving.
Mom called the vet for Snickers before she left out for work to find out how much for her to go in and get looked at, and told them about a skin problem she is having which we discovered she had last week (big crusty patches of skin with hair falling out), plus she's late on some shots. Ugh, just so much to do. But I told mom, go ahead and make the appointment for her this Friday since I get payed, and lets get her taken care of (she can take her in to the vet when I go to work), just make sure to leave enough for the electric bill and food.
Having anxiety right now. At least I found a doctor that I don't think will give me a hard time, so there is hope. In the meantime I have to relax and be patient, afterall I'd been without for much longer, a few more weeks or months as hard as it is, I can handle it. Right now, some stretching should calm me a bit.

I got around to cross-stitching way too late yesterday. At the rate I'm going I'm not going to have this one finished when I want it to be. Been talking too much on here (good, bad, I dunno) as well as thinking (I still don't know if being here is therapeutic for me or just causing me more pain dwelling on my issues). I came on here because I felt I needed it, that maybe I could open up and be a part of something, community, but no matter how much I try it all seems so foreign to me. And when someone contacts me privately and befriends me, it gives me hope, I start to open up a little more, but then all it takes is one little thing that scares me (alarms go off in my head telling me to watch out!) and I close back up again, not sure how to respond or I run away altogether (trying to hold myself back from doing this, which is why I'm still here posting this). But there's also a part of me that thinks maybe I came here and spilled what I had about myself (the first time I was here several years ago as well as now), once again putting myself out there in the open that I am transsexual and risked possible dangers just as a means of self-destruction. But there's a part of me also that wants to let it all out, @#$% it, tell the whole world (no big deal, right?), it'll be a weight off your shoulders, but while I'd like to there are all too many good reasons to have reservations about it. I may be accepted here, but not out there, not enough. As a woman, yes, but as a transwoman, well, I've been down that route already, and the results were close to catastrophic.
I'm confused as to what to do, who to trust. Not trusting anyone has always been 'safe' but its also kept me in the dark and alone, which while its a livable life, its not a happy one (I've got tears streaming down my face as I type now). My boss called me up yesterday, told me that the other stocker didn't call nor come in yesterday nor the day before, told me that if I wanted to come in he's got some extra hours, I said sure (what the hell else do I have to do and I need the money), so I told him I could be in Thursday morning, so gotta get ready to get to work soon. But when I got up I was dead tired. Showered and still felt like crap. Didn't agree with what I saw in the mirror, definitely don't look so feminine at the moment nor feel it. Took my dog out. Thought that would wake me up a bit but still tired, I guess I'll get up some energy when I start working. Maybe I didn't sleep well, I do have a lot on my mind afterall, and like many here, not your every day worries of rent, bills and such, no, this goes much deeper, to the core of my very being.

You're obviously very tired, suppose you'll have to temper your time online, something a lot of us need to do I suppose. We're here for you Megan, I am here for you. This is a place where most are fairly trustworthy, friendly and enjoy helping one another with supporting comments. Want you to feel secure with that dear!

Worked out HBC today at my job. The day was going well until a customer started giving me a hard time. So this guy comes in, he asks me where picture frames were, I brought him to them. He wanted something big, I show him that we don't anything bigger than what he sees on the shelf. He wanted something either white or wood grain. Just what's here. Okay he says. I go back to working. He comes by a few minutes later with some frames, asks if he could put them down right here (an empty spot on one of the shelves), that he needed to go next door and will be back in 10 minutes. I never did give him a confirmation, just that I'd be there in that isle for that time.
Time goes by, he finally comes back, like 30-40 minutes later, I don't know exactly but it was much longer than 10 minutes. This was a little after 12pm. He asks where his frames were, I glanced back and told him right where he left them. He goes over to the spot. Then says, "There are only 2 frames here! What happened to the other two? I had 4 frames!" I don't know I replied. "But you were supposed to be watching them for me. Remember I told you to watch them and that I'll be back, but they aren't here, where are they!?" Well, I guess somebody walked off with the other ones. He said a few more remarks about the same. Then I snip back, "I'm sorry but I do have other customers to help in the meantime, I can't stand around babysitting your stuff!" He said, "You don't know how to talk to the customer, you shouldn't be working this kind of business." Then I blew, got really loud (for me this is a rarity, last time was a couple years ago when working register at my previous job), "Well if you have a problem with me, the manager is right over there (I point towards one of the registers at the old man), go talk to him!" A couple other customers either stopped what they were doing or turned there heads to see what was going on. He's still going on about me and his damn frames, so I say but not nicely, "Maybe there's still more in the isle?" He barks back, "Where!?" I told him where he got them from. "You show me!" So I bring him back down that isle and go back to what I was doing. By this point I was shaking, trying to put some nail files on a peg and was having difficulty with such an easy task and there was another customer, a lady standing beside me looking at some make-up whom also pretty much heard the whole conversation, and I was trying to keep from falling apart, I couldn't. My eyes were welling up with tears that I couldn't barely see, so I dropped what I was doing and went to the back, started crying uncontrollably.
Normally there'd be a lot of rage there too, but somehow there was the absence of that, I don't know why, just extreme sorrow for him to be treating me this way over some stupid frames I had no idea that he really was even going to come back for. I got myself together within a few minutes, went back out there to continue working. But the tears came back, and each time I fought them off, so a few minutes out there on the floor and I had to retreat again, this time to the restroom (the jerk passed by me on my way out of my isle, just gave me a mean look). I figured with all that crying that I'd have to clean my eyes. Thought for sure I'd have mascara running, but nope, eyes red and glazy but mascara still nice. "Hey, that's pretty good for cheap dollar stuff!" I thought to myself. I went back to working again. Still, it took some time before the sporadic waterworks completely stopped.
I had a little over an hour left before my work day was over with. Good. I focused on my job. But he was right, every bad customer ever has always been right, that I shouldn't be working in this type of business. But for a different reason than they think, those few that think they can come in and give out commands, demand things and expect it, walk all over employees for whatever reason they feel like, basically treat a human like something less think they are more important than anyone else and will be catered to or else. But the way I see it, I'm too sensitive, I take things to heart, and while most times things are good, people are generally decent, its those occasional few that get to me. And if I can't handle them and their attitude problems then maybe I am in the wrong business. The manager didn't come to me about that situation and my little outburst (I'm sure he heard at least the loudest parts of it), but I wouldn't be surprised if it comes up later when the main store manager comes back from vacation. And here I was, not even supposed to be in today, it was my day off.
I fell short of getting my HBC done, oh well, the crap is never ending anyway, there's always tomorrow, whatever. Time to go home.
I got home, cleaned myself up a little bit, pulled leg hair (via epilator), sat down and got myself something to eat, then took my dog out. Before going back in the house she was biting at her foot, I checked, damn fireant was stinging her. I pulled it off and tossed it, then checked for more on her other legs. Only one I seen. But the bitch tried to bite me, what the hell!? You had and ant on you and now you're trying to bite me! Even my dog has it out for me today. I bring her inside, loudly reprimanding her for her behavior, that I'm sacrificing for her and she does that, keep it up, I'll get the hormones and you can forget going to the vet! Note, my dog is very loving, but also very spoiled, goes through the same kind of episodes a human child does. I told her as she cower under my table that don't even think about coming around to me today, and I'm not going to play with you! I'm going to sleep for a little bit. So I did.
Woke up about a hour ago from a nightmare, I don't remember any details but somehow I was going to have the sex reassignment surgery but something was keeping me from being able to have it done, like a force was holding me back and I was trying with all my might to reach out for help but everyone there (including my mom) just stood there, and the feeling, like ultimate anguish, was so strong that I was not only crying in my dream but awoke that way too. Also for some reason my arms are bothering me, like I'm having circulatory problems, when I had woken up my right was in pain, now my left is bothering me too, maybe too much crying, too upset and my body is reacting negatively. Now I sit here typing this, really tired, like I want to die, eyes all puffy and sticky from tears still after all these words, but hey, mascara is still good!
Time goes by, he finally comes back, like 30-40 minutes later, I don't know exactly but it was much longer than 10 minutes. This was a little after 12pm.

I had 4 frames!" I don't know I replied. "But you were supposed to be watching them for me. Remember I told you to watch them and that I'll be back, but they aren't here, where are they!?" Well, I guess somebody walked off with the other ones. He said a few more remarks about the same. Then I snip back, "I'm sorry but I do have other customers to help in the meantime, I can't stand around babysitting your stuff!" He said, "You don't know how to talk to the customer, you shouldn't be working this kind of business." Then I blew, got really loud (for me this is a rarity, last time was a couple years ago when working register at my previous job), "Well if you have a problem with me, the manager is right over there (I point towards one of the registers at the old man), go talk to him!" A couple other customers either stopped what they were doing or turned there heads to see what was going on. He's still going on about me and his damn frames, so I say but not nicely, "Maybe there's still more in the isle?" He barks back, "Where!?" I told him where he got them from. "You show me!" So I bring him back down that isle and go back to what I was doing. By this point I was shaking, trying to put some nail files on a peg and was having difficulty with such an easy task and there was another customer, a lady standing beside me looking at some make-up whom also pretty much heard the whole conversation, and I was trying to keep from falling apart, I couldn't. My eyes were welling up with tears that I couldn't barely see, so I dropped what I was doing and went to the back, started crying uncontrollably.
Normally there'd be a lot of rage there too, but somehow there was the absence of that, I don't know why, just extreme sorrow for him to be treating me this way over some stupid frames I had no idea that he really was even going to come back for. I got myself together within a few minutes, went back out there to continue working. But the tears came back, and each time I fought them off, so a few minutes out there on the floor and I had to retreat again, this time to the restroom (the jerk passed by me on my way out of my isle, just gave me a mean look). I figured with all that crying that I'd have to clean my eyes. Thought for sure I'd have mascara running, but nope, eyes red and glazy but mascara still nice. "Hey, that's pretty good for cheap dollar stuff!" I thought to myself. I went back to working again. Still, it took some time before the sporadic waterworks completely stopped.
I had a little over an hour left before my work day was over with. Good. I focused on my job. But he was right, every bad customer ever has always been right, that I shouldn't be working in this type of business. But for a different reason than they think, those few that think they can come in and give out commands, demand things and expect it, walk all over employees for whatever reason they feel like, basically treat a human like something less think they are more important than anyone else and will be catered to or else. But the way I see it, I'm too sensitive, I take things to heart, and while most times things are good, people are generally decent, its those occasional few that get to me. And if I can't handle them and their attitude problems then maybe I am in the wrong business. The manager didn't come to me about that situation and my little outburst (I'm sure he heard at least the loudest parts of it), but I wouldn't be surprised if it comes up later when the main store manager comes back from vacation. And here I was, not even supposed to be in today, it was my day off.
I fell short of getting my HBC done, oh well, the crap is never ending anyway, there's always tomorrow, whatever. Time to go home.
I got home, cleaned myself up a little bit, pulled leg hair (via epilator), sat down and got myself something to eat, then took my dog out. Before going back in the house she was biting at her foot, I checked, damn fireant was stinging her. I pulled it off and tossed it, then checked for more on her other legs. Only one I seen. But the bitch tried to bite me, what the hell!? You had and ant on you and now you're trying to bite me! Even my dog has it out for me today. I bring her inside, loudly reprimanding her for her behavior, that I'm sacrificing for her and she does that, keep it up, I'll get the hormones and you can forget going to the vet! Note, my dog is very loving, but also very spoiled, goes through the same kind of episodes a human child does. I told her as she cower under my table that don't even think about coming around to me today, and I'm not going to play with you! I'm going to sleep for a little bit. So I did.
Woke up about a hour ago from a nightmare, I don't remember any details but somehow I was going to have the sex reassignment surgery but something was keeping me from being able to have it done, like a force was holding me back and I was trying with all my might to reach out for help but everyone there (including my mom) just stood there, and the feeling, like ultimate anguish, was so strong that I was not only crying in my dream but awoke that way too. Also for some reason my arms are bothering me, like I'm having circulatory problems, when I had woken up my right was in pain, now my left is bothering me too, maybe too much crying, too upset and my body is reacting negatively. Now I sit here typing this, really tired, like I want to die, eyes all puffy and sticky from tears still after all these words, but hey, mascara is still good!

Spent some time down stairs. Sometimes I spend all day in my room, its not good I know. But after an episode the other day, (missing out having dinner on one of the few days my dad is home for it) I'm glad my Lap top finally arrived.
So maybe just maybe I can talk to my dad more, seriously even if its just, "would you like a drink?" coming down from upstairs usually has him with one in his hand, having made one not long since. Maybe Its the opportunity to do something for him I don't know.
But yeah, It feels good no not be in my room all day, Don't get me wrong there was nothing stopping me from being down stairs before, except you know, not having anything to do, except just sit and stare.
And I read some posts here and realised there is quite a lot more I can do. I fancy doing stretches over the kitchen sink tomorrow ;)

Not having anything to do, nor even feel like doing anything isn't all that good for us, surely not me, otherwise I think too much about things that just happen to tug my heart the wrong way, then I start feeling depressed. I think the stretching exercises are doing me a lot of good because I hadn't done any today until a little while ago, and now I feel much better now, more relaxed. Took dog out for a walk to get rid of the garbage, came back, stripped down to my underwear and bra (hey, it helps not to be restricted), started with my stretches, washed the dishes continuing exercise at the sink, practiced walking with feet straight (I tell you, makes a big difference in how my hips move). All the while listening to C-ute. Now I'm smiling. Tomorrow may be different but I'll wait until then and try to start out having a good day (today was just bad right from the start).

Okay, so yesterday has passed, what can I say about it?
Mom woke up same time as me, I had to work, she had to bring Snickers to the vet. I worked out toys today, all went well, no problem customers, no emotional breakdowns. Mom came into the store after she brought Snickers home, told me how it went. $211 something for everything, check up, all shots that were overdue, tests for various things, some medicated shampoo stuff for that skin condition she has, but still have to wait to hear what the results are for everything. It cost a lot, but my, our dog, has brought us a lot of joy, we've all been through a lot together and want to make sure they'll be many more days ahead. If I had my own child/children they'd come first, otherwise I'd be a really crappy mother. Think of her as a human child, and provide for her the same kind of care she deserves. I may be somewhat of a basketcase right now, but it'd mess me up even more if I put myself before even my own dog and something happened to her that would later haunt me because of selfish desires that I could wait a little longer for.
Glad my paycheck was better this time, much better than usual (all gone now, all in a day, after vet fees, bills and food...$3 something left). The old manager guy comes to me later in the day tells me that the truck will be here at 3pm tomorrow, so we discuss this a bit and agree on a good time for me to come in, figured noon will give me some more time to put out some more freight before it arrives. I asked him about next week's schedule, he said I was down for only 3 days, but he was thinking to give me more, saying if they don't like it they can take his job too. It is so awesome when you know when you are appreciated in a workplace. He's told me more than a few times that if he had his way I'd be full time. He put me down for 5 days, more hours, more money, hopefully it'll be my turn next time to see the doc.
Mom and Snickers came to pick me up after work, Snickers always loving the buh-bye rides. Got home, showered, did my stretches, internet, more stretches, then a little bit of cross-stitching. Later grocery store, spent more than usual (almost every week we tend to land on the same amount spent, around $114 each week, but got some different things this time that jacked our food bill up a bit more), but gotta eat. Been on the internet much of the night into early morning, mostly right here, reading an occasional topic, replying where able to find the words to relate. I was going to spend all night on my cross-stitching to try to finish it up before tomorrow was over with but decided that I'm just going to forgo the whole rushing for the sake of the challenge's limited time frame, I'll finish it up but at a more leisurely pace for the sake of my sanity.

You didn't say anything about temperature and wind speed, so there is no way someone from the outer banks of the Carolina's where they experience hurricanes could possibly relate, or someone living on the Olympic Peninsula of the Washington coast where the winds blow constantly with a lower wind chill factor than that of California. You'll have to be more specific before we buy into any envious thinking Miss Jill, besides wouldn't a nice California wine be more apropos? ;D

I'm in Santa Barbara, CA. It's another 72 degree and sunny sort of day with a slight ocean breeze. I could get used to this. Oh, that's right- I lived here from 1973 to 1998.

Went to work, noontime. Started working out stationary, did this until the truck arrived which actually came early, then after it was finished continued stationary for the last hour I had left. Still have a lot to do in that section, but it'll have to wait until Monday or Tuesday. Already have everything planned out for the week at work, finish stationary, next day work on HBC, but that will probably take me a day and a half, then either toys or housewares the following day, then whatever is left until next truck comes in. We had a somewhat smaller load this time so with all the days that I'm working I think we can actually get the receiving clear (just been so backed up lately). Aside from the nasty heat today (sweat dripping off of me just standing still back there) I felt rather good, had a good amount of energy.
Oh, the manager was going to through a fixture out today when we emptied the trash prior to truck unload and I had asked him about it, he told me if I wanted it I can have it, because it was in nice shape and I'd wondered why the store was just throwing it out, he said they didn't want us using it anymore and to toss it. What a waste, its a perfectly good piece unit. Didn't know yet then what I'd use it for but it certainly could be useful be it for DVD movies, music or game CDs, food or bathroom articles. So after work I brought it home, cleaned it up, its in the bathroom with some stuff on it.
Mom gave Snickers a bath today while I was at work, washing her with that medicated shampoo that the vet prescribed, she said the sores on her body looked even worst, hopefully she'll be okay, and more so hopefully whatever it is isn't contagious to humans. If I starting getting sores on my head and my hair starts falling out in large clumps I'll totally loose it. I've never really screamed before (though always wanted to just to see if I could sound really good) but I probably would if something like that happened to me.
Took a shower, then fixed myself some lunch, a really huge sandwich (turkey, ham, provolone cheese, tomatoes, and a mixed assortment of greens), it was damn good. Had bought some eyeliner (actually asked my mom to earlier when she dropped me off at work and got a few things while there) so wanted to try it out. Never had before, figured for a dollar it wouldn't hurt to experiment. I followed some tutorials, but kept it simple, nothing overdone. At first it looked like total s@#$ but after a bit not too bad, afterall it was my first time applying it. Okay, why are my eyeballs turning red? I tried not to get any into my eyes, but maybe a little got in there. A tiny bit of black ran out the corners when eyes teared up. Damn, eyes are really red! Washed it all out really good. Still red, itchy, sore.
Put some eyedrops in, several times. Ouch! What the hell!? Bottom edge of right eyelid stings, feels abraded like something was scraping along it. Pull eyelid down, have a sty...already (it'd only been like a half hour at most). Well, guess I won't be using this stuff again. Anyway it was something interesting, different to do, for the short moment I was able to. I'm sure the eyeliner can be put to use at a later time for something else, never know. Actually I think I know what may've contributed to this reaction, I was using cotton swabs to clean up my mistakes while I was trying to apply the eyeliner, because it looked like I also had a small bit of cotton strands in my eye. Either way, really, me putting on eyeliner, with the amount of work it takes and my unsteady hands, eh, I'll just stick to mascara. I'm girly, but not the kind that likes to have to keep constant maintenance on myself in the way. No big deal.
Oh, almost forgot, shortly before the eyeliner trial, I'd been wanting for a long time to get back into wearing earrings, so I asked my mom if she had any that she hadn't worn yet, she showed me a pair. She asked, won't they irritate your ears? Maybe, but I'd like to check 'em out anyway since I hadn't worn earrings for quite some years. I thought all those years without that my holes would've closed up, nope. A little bit of wiggling and they both went in. Okay! ear lobes started itching within several minutes, thought it'd get worst but subsided after a bit. I've had them in for a couple hours now, no itchiness or crusting up. Mom said its because they are nickel-free, makes sense. I had a hard enough time handling coins back when I worked as a cashier in my last job because it'd always make my fingers itch and ever since then I get this reoccurring skin condition on one of my fingers where the skin will peel all the way down to the really sensitive pink layer, then it'll heal it, just to repeat all over again, not itchy, just icky. Anyway I digress. My mom, she always wears the kind with the straight posts, I always prefer dangly stuff and hoops, french hooks which my mom doesn't like to wear...I'm going to have to get me some, when I can. If I can handle these nickel-free ones then I'll do those, otherwise it'll have to be sterling silver.

I did the facility payroll and irritated some of the clients by insisting the rules be followed, specifically regarding kitchen hours. Funny how the ones who complain about the kitchen hours being followed are the same ones who leave a big mess if I relent and let them in it outside of posted hours.

Got up late, sometime after 10 because I didn't get to bed until after 5am this morning. Pulled hair outa my legs, fixed myself up, took dog for a walk (ugh, too humid, so awful). Came back, washed what little dishes were in the sink from last night after eating an after midnight spaghetti dinner (we had laundry to do first so dinner came late). Stretches. Played with dog. Stitched a little bit. Internet, Susan's. Listening to music on Youtube (all day since my mom went to work as I do any day I got the place to myself). Stretched some more, then grab some very late lunch, then took a walk with Snickers. Cross-stitch a little more, but not much. Its been pretty much an uneventful day, but why should it not be, I'm home, relaxing, gotta work tomorrow, so enjoy it while I can.

Got home from work at five and have spent the next six hours writing to everyone I know asking them to pre-order copies of my novel. I need at least 250 pre-orders to secure a publication. It's been a weird experience, emailing and chatting to lots of different people from lots of different times of my life who I have drifted away from a little.
Johnson once said we "should keep his friendship in constant repair." Though I imagine it wasn't so he could weasel pre-orders from them.

The usual start to a day, get ready for work, take dog out, go to work. Worked out stationary today, 95 cases which for under 5 hours is pretty good for that section since I don't really work it that often, fixed up some of it too that was messy or not organized to my standards, so it was a pretty productive day and not bad. Someone did make a comment to me near the end of the day about my shirt not being quite the right color, asked me if my store changed uniform colors, maybe he was just curious as to why (uh, because I didn't get one and was told at hiring that it just had to be in that spectrum, and it was the best I could do at Walmart for a top -- but I didn't say this, just thinking sarcastically to myself after he asked me about it), I don't know, I have a hard time reading people.
Came home, washed up (the walk home got me all sticky from sweat), made lunch, and have been sitting here on the internet since (several hours of doing nothing, but thinking). My hormone levels must be a bit crazy at the moment, been having feelings like I'm going to cry, kind of a feeling that has been trying to rise up from within since the last time I felt like this. Being off of the hormones, hitting me again. Bet you before the end of the day I'm going to get all teary eyed or completely ball my brains out, I'm sure. I need to do some stretches, get off my ass for a bit, put my energies somewhere else.

Working on the Ninja, 750 SECA and Virago to sell, basically give away.. in the garage today, going up to 110F today.. set a new record yesterday, 111F.. no AC out here.. I would buy an evap cooler or mount a window unit in the wall, but as Im going to be separating soon, why bother. I love the desert and don't think anything of mowing the lawn when it's 110F out. The wife is indifferent today (nothing new there), slept apart again after I was gone on a 4day trip.
Guy that wants the 750 SECA said he cant pay til next week but a pilot buddy is coming to look at the Virago, maybe he'll take it and I wont have to hear the bitch wife about.. oops, I think I meant, the wife, bitch about the bikes in the garage.. :-\
Fell asleep crying last night, I'm just a mess. Tho I promised I would stop/revert for my family, I have had to sneak my herbals to keep me from going mad. I have a therapy session tomorrow, and my Endo appt Friday and I'm not leaving without scripts for low-dose E, or I'll tell him I'm going to OnlinePharm and he can kiss my a**. My GP is very supportive and will do my blood panels, no problems, he told me he discovered he has a transman doc in his practice! So I had an idea I can chat with my Doc, and ask him if he would consider adding TG as a specialty as we have no one in the East Valley to see.
Tune in tomorrow for more another thrilling episode of "As the Stomach Churns"..

Took dog out this morning, very humid, a slight very brief drizzle, and mosquitoes. Damn things were biting me everywhere, got back in as quick as possible, breastbone itched, bitch got me there too, right between my boobies.
Went to work today and I don't know why but I was feeling good all day while there, actually had a smile that barely left my face. First thing when I started, perfume. I had to put some gloves on for this task as I am severely allergic and if it got on my skin, well that stuff is impossible to wash off (kinda has to wear off on its own) and then I'd have to be inhaling it all day, no thanks. Last time I got perfume on my hands was at my other job as a cashier, having to handle everything customers bring through, well this one bottle of perfume was leaking, got all over my hands, washed them as soon as possible after but the smell was making it tough to breath. I told them about my sensitivity to it, and at first I wouldn't work the perfumes at all, but after I'd been there for a time one day I asked for some gloves, that so long as nothing was busted open I should be okay. So put out everything I had back there, 9 cases of that smelly crap. The customers should be happy spraying it in the air, sniffing deeply like inhaling drugs, enjoy, just don't spray while I'm around. Actually one day (some months ago) I almost did get sprayed (in the face), quick reaction from fear allowed me to dodge away from the deadly mist...that was too close.
Finished up the perfume, then pulled out a full u-boat of HBC, worked out everything from that as well as whatever I periodically carried out from the back. By the end of the day I had 105 cases done, but still not quite finished, another hour and a half or so tomorrow morning should put me in a good spot, then maybe start on housewares after that.
Lady comes up to me while I'm dropping some boxes of HBC along the side of the isle, asks if I work there, yes I do I say, what can I help you with? She asks me if we had any more round plastic pots like the one she was showing me that she had in her cart from the summer area up front. And goes on to explain what she needed them for, and I actually stood there patiently and listened to her story without the usual feeling I get when people don't get straight to the point of something. I tell her that I'll take a look in the back and see if we may have some more, I didn't think we would and we didn't, but I went to the isle that they'd normally be at and found something similar, same shape but larger, so brought it up to her. She was happy, looked perfect for her, so I take her back to the isle pointed out the rest as well as ones in another color. The whole time I was smiling (and I was like this with every customer today). She thanked me, very graciously, and I gave her a very nice you're welcome. Went back to my work. A few minutes later she passes by me and says that I've done good business, thanks me again for my help. This put me in an even better mood.
This was a very good start to the day (certainly better than the jerk that gave me a hard time some days ago and made me cry). And the thing is, this also good for me, my boss was working an endcap right where I was with her, so I know he heard the whole conversation. This means a lot to me as most times when I've done good for a customer there's never any witnesses to the act. Not that I expect anything from it, only that they know that I do go out of my way to provide good customer service (so long as they aren't ->-bleeped-<-s), most bosses in the past failed to see this of me.
Later, about mid-day, my boss comes up to me and thanks me for the work I had done with stationary yesterday, he said it looked really good. While working out merchandise from the back I had also done a lot of tidying up as well, rearranging things so it was neater, more orderly. Only thing I never got out were some cases of books, he said he finished it up, put those out after I left and he saw what I had done. So again, reason to be happy.
Afterwards, closer to the end of my shift the other assistant manager comes in, he passes by me, gives me a smile. I smiled back. Well, a little while later he comes over to where I am in HBC, at the make-up, and tells me how I'm getting it on today, how I'm all fixed up 'n stuff, earrings...and a smile. There was something different about me he said he noticed, and he was telling me how good it looked on me. But me being all detailed and technical about everything goes on about how I hadn't worn earrings in several years and decided to start wearing them again. Okay, enough Megan, he doesn't really want to hear that part, just you. He still kept looking at my smile, and I told him how I'm trying to open up, get myself in a good mood, and he agreed that it was a good thing, and how just that, a smile, could be contagious and make others do the same as well, like himself. I think he, well, actually I know he likes me, as some time back he asked me out (I declined--we work together though not that often and he smokes, and doesn't know I'm trans either) and has always been flirting with me since he first started working there. Oh, almost forgot, he mentioned about how I had my hair fixed up too since I was wearing that different as well, pinned up with ponytail holder and medium sized claw clasp...I'll have to do it up like this more often. ;D
So, I was extra happy today, everything went well with no issues and even though I'm not totally right inside, I've found that perhaps that is why people so many times fake happiness, because regardless of how they may feel, a smile can lift your spirits, even if only temporarily. Not saying I'll be fine tomorrow, knowing me my mood could flip-flop the other way and it'll be like Hyde just entered the building.
Got home, washed up, took Snickers out, ate lunch while typing up the events for this day thus far, so here I am.

Woke up, took a shower (damn skin has been so oily, just icky), got ready for work, slowly, didn't have time to even really eat nor even take my dog out.
Started with the last bit of HBC I still wanted to finish up. My boss comes to me, tells me how we got inventory coming up and that the district manager will be in tomorrow to check up on us, that most likely means, being as much freight as we have back in receiving, that they'll want it all out (even the stuff that can't fit). Also that if they see a problem with it, well, sometimes they'd sent in other people from other stores to help out. We don't want that. So he asked me, first telling me how he doesn't want to burn me out, but if I'd like to come into work tomorrow. I told him yes, need the money really bad, I'll be alright, its only 5 hour shifts. So looks like I'll be around 30 hours this week (never worked that many here yet), woo-hoo! Then maybe I'll be able to schedule myself an appointment with somebody, try to get back on the hormones at least before my birthday, that'd be something to celebrate.
A little while later, I'm down the isle working out hair accessories and pull out these really cute headbands (white with black polka dots) and figure, let me see how this fits me (since I happened to have mirrors right there as well). I try it on, a moment passes and my boss is standing at the end of the isle watching me, he remarks, "Its not you." I reply back, "It could be if I fix myself up pretty." He says back with a slight chuckle, "I'd love to see that." I was crushed. Okay, granted he's never seen me dolled up all pretty, just always the same ol' rough looking work clothes, but geez, does he even know how to talk to a woman.
I don't think he meant to hurt my feelings, just that sometimes men don't think too well before blurting things like this out to women. Maybe because I don't present myself super girly, and with the type of job that I do, perhaps he can't fathom me as pretty or girly, probably sees me as more of a tough girl, maybe he's got suspicions that I'm transsexual or something, I don't know. I just know he appreciates my work, pretty doesn't seem to factor into that. I'm trying something on to try to boost up my self-esteem and it all gets broken down with an insensitive comment. I didn't feel very good after that. Where was the other (younger) manager when I needed him (he opens tomorrow morning, if he gets there on time, or at all), he would've said I looked pretty.
It got me thinking, why do I have to stick with these kind of jobs, I know, its familiar to me, that's why. But I've done other things as well. Its not like I'm incapable. Its just that I'm unsure of myself, with doing other types of work as well as with people. I had one job some many years ago working in a florist shop, and my job was to answer the phone, help customers, over the phone and walk-ins, water the plants, take out trash, and help the florists when they needed some extra hands (though I didn't do any arrangements ever, never had the eye for it). But when I worked there that was the only job that I ever had where I was able to dress up nice, whatever I wanted to wear, and I always fixed myself up then. But flowers weren't for me, my allergies were always horrible. I need me a job where I can feel good about myself, not just the productive aspect.
Had to throw trash and broken down cardboard out today, made me a sweaty, sticky mess for the rest of the duration at work, it was miserable. Plus I ate an orange at break time, damn thing attacked me, every bite I took it exploded juice all over me, shot me real good in the eye too, stung for a bit. Hmm...what else? Worked housewares, but still not finished so will have to pick that area back up again tomorrow first thing, and try to get it all done so I have enough time to at least start on toys, pets or something else.
Got home, took another shower (seems lately I've been having to wash up twice a day, between sweat and overly oily skin), then immediately did my laundry, the old fashioned way, hand washing (occasionally have no choice) out my work clothes (so I don't offend) and hanging those up to dry (hope they'll be dry by tomorrow morning) as well as washing all of my panties (I go through them too fast, 3 at a time). Ate lunch, then sat down to the internet. My dog has been pouting, so I better go over and pay her some attention, then should probably do some stretching as well.

Woke up, took a shower, and dealt with some dishes.
Went to see my grandma and we went for a walk and ate pizza.
Got home, played with the dog, went grocery shopping with dad.
Now I'm just messing about but I should be doing something more productive.

Messing about is productive :) if you cant relax what's the point of doing all that work to compare just how relaxing your relaxing is to :P
I finally got around to having a big clear out in my room, (needed to find bank card) dint find my card, so ordered a new one. Spent some time with my dad assessing the next stage of our gardens development, GOT on top of my WASHING finally. And is now procrastinating on a shower :P

I woken up around eleven, went to a garden centre with my sister and her bf, got a taxi back to hers, had a coffee and a chat discussing what she is working on in her garden and what the purchased items were to be used for. Later we walked down to her boyfriends mothers house (my other mommies :p) and had a coffee and a chat there while we waited for the school my nieces and nephews go to, to open up and start releasing children. met up with my other sister and her three, (seven children in all) and walked back to the second sisters for a drink and to let the children play for a couple of hours. Left with the first sister her four and her boyfriend back to hers. I stayed there until the kids went to bed then played some cards and had some rum and cokes. Walked home at midnight escorted by her boyfriend, came to susans browsed the threads and finally got around to writing this. (one of my better days)

I had to wake up earlier this morning because I didn't have enough time yesterday morning to do everything that I normally do, so got up at 6:30am instead of 7am. Showered, got dressed, took out some frozen fruit from the freezer for breakfast (been eating this mix: peaches, pineapples, strawberries, bananas, mango, also blueberries, cranberries and cherries, almost every day), put it on the table to thaw a little bit, then took my dog out. Came back, sat down, put on some make-up (did the eyeliner pretty good today) and then ate while surfing Susan's Place until I realized the time and had to quickly get out the door.
I was a few minutes late for work, but at least the assistant manager wasn't (I didn't have to wait for him for a change). Today I finished up housewares, almost everything emptied from the back. After housewares I started on toys, but being only an hour I couldn't do too much, so will have to get more done tomorrow right before our next truck comes in. Then while back there in receiving I hear some guy calling out hello. I take a peek around and see him, knew right away who he was, the district manager.
He introduced himself coming forward, I removed one of my work gloves and we shake hands (I've never liked handshakes, but business people do), me telling him my name, smiling the whole time (very important, that smile). He asked me how long I've worked there for, I told him since last July. He said he'd been in there before, must've just missed me every time. he seemed easy-going enough. Asked me what I did there, I told him I deal with the freight, and he commented how good the receiving looks (not as good as it could be if I were in charge, but I suppose better than some other stores he's been to), and I was telling him about what stuff I work out, HBC, housewares, toys and recently earlier in the week that I got a lot of stationary out and fixed that up really nice. He complimented me for the good work. Asked how many hours I work as well, kind of whatever is available I tell him, between 2-5 day, but 6 this week because of the back up from the trucks coming at odd times. How I like it there. Asked if I had another job, more stuff I can't recall.
But I tell you this, I have always been uncomfortable around talking with people but when it comes to work related conversation (things that I am familiar with doing) I have no problems. And I usually get intimidated easily by authority figures (because too many have treated me terribly), but not this time, wasn't nervous, not even the slightest, didn't even stumble over any of my words, talked to him right from the start like he was someone that I knew, for a few minutes at that. I'm so proud of myself. Overall the day went very well, but I couldn't wait to get home.
Everything else afterwards the usual: shower, eat, exercise, take dog out, play with dog, get on internet every once in a while. Also took some pictures of myself (gotta try to keep my spirits up). But I haven't cross-stitch though for the past couple days, I think I burned myself out with doing too much (I could have at least waited until I finished the one I was working on). As I've said before, I don't multitask very well, I find one thing I enjoy, overdo it for a while, then pick up something else for a while, in this case Susan's is taking the place of my cross-stitching, for now (because I need it more right now so I don't flip out and do something harmful to myself). I still have to find a way to bring balance to my habits though. I think I am a little bit, afterall I'm exercising, I play with my dog every day, sometimes both things at the same time, I just have to learn how to manage things to make it work for me.

I cleaned the kitchen, exercised, took my T shot, and practiced German. I didn't clean my room or the living room like I meant to.

I didn't have to go into work as early today, truck was scheduled for 3pm, boss wanted me for 1pm to get a head start on things. Got ready, took dog out. Did my usual routine for the morning, made sure to eat a full bowl of fruit as I was going to need the energy. Got on the internet while I ate breakfast. Was running late because I was posting a message for someone here that I think needed me (and everyone else) to help lift her spirits (how dare some dude call her "brother"), so what if I was late a few minutes (its okay), this is important. So I've gotten myself caught up with caring (thinking about others on here even while at work, wondering if that person will be alright; still wondering how a certain someone is that said she left, torn between what's inside and the material world) - I don't know what's come over me. Guess I'm just trying to reach out, take an interest in others, not be so centered on myself, as I'm not the only one suffering from the trials of being transsexual.
Okay, so got to work, yeah a few minutes late (been doing that a lot lately), but no big deal, its not like I'm opening with the store or running a register, and it was only a request that I be there for 1pm, not a hard set scheduled time. Was going through the boxes of toys, see what I could put out, the old manager guy comes back there, asks me if I could work out some snacks (potato chips, cookies, ect), so I jump over to that instead. He told me that he was going to work them out but said that he was swamped up front with customers. No problem, that's what I'm there for, I'm the stocker.
I still hadn't recovered from walking here, drenched in sweat and heart still racing like I ran, took a while for me to cool down, and I started feeling sick despite guzzling down the whole bottle of water I had with me, so I had to buy some more for the rest of the day. Got done what I could with the snacks and by that point the manager was out back emptying trash and cardboard so I promptly joined him. As we were finishing up, I'm bring in a u-boat that was brought out on the landing dock, pulled that up over the speed bump running along the doorway to the outside, it hits at an angle and jolts to the side ramming my thumb against the edge of the door. Ouch!
So I just had my right thumb smashed between the u-boat handle and door and I'm walking around back there trying not to cry out from the pain (actually crying as well as curse words I kept myself from slurring out). I knew this was going to be messed up. Took my glove off (thank goodness I was wearing gloves otherwise it'd probably had left a gash too), thumb was already swelling up, and turning bluish, and I couldn't move it. ->-bleeped-<-! I'd been nice to have something cold to put on it but there wasn't anything, and running under only very slightly cold faucet in the restroom only made it sting more. Oh well, will just have to deal with it.
Since I also figured this would be a good time to take my break, I sat back there eating my snack and I started crying, not from the pain, because well it did hurt but was starting to get numb, more worried that it'd make it difficult for me to work, I need to be able to function well because I need the money. I can't be hurting myself too badly on the job, also makes me look accident prone. Last time I hurt one of my hands really bad was a couple years ago when I punched a wall (at home - rage from off the hormones too long) and shattered my left hand knuckles (I hit a beam, ouch), took weeks for the swelling to go down. Made it challenging to work, but that was as a cashier, stocking with one hand would be a little tougher. And I don't like people looking to me like I'm incapable, so even if injured I still go at my work the best that I can.
Also was thinking back to another job, floral assistant / customer service and how I used to dress up pretty every day, not hard physical work really at all, and here I am busting my ass and hurting myself, doing the work of a man, getting payed less than most of my other jobs in the past, and these thoughts coupled with a strong throbbing in my thumb, well I felt tired and like I was hopelessly in a loop that I couldn't get myself out of. I was thinking about how well I did at that job and wondered to myself where'd I go wrong (I let things get to me too easily, I was a quitter), and how come I don't have the confidence to go for those kind of jobs anymore. Stocking is easier, not as mentally challenging and not as much interaction so less of the kind of stress related to issues arising from hostile people (but I still sometimes get 'em). So why do I keep doing the whole stocker type job? I feel safe with it (yet here today I wasn't), and its something that I know and do well (better than most). And while I don't mind the physical work since pretty much all my jobs have been, I feel I'm not giving my brain enough credit. Its not like I'm stupid, I'm very smart actually, though when compared to most I'm a slow learner. Anyway, enough contemplating it, thumb hurts so what, I look like a mess, its a job, time to get back to work.
I asked my manager if I had to fill out an injury report, so he went to go find the paperwork, couldn't, but came back with a notepad. I wrote down what had happened, just in case I did some major damage to my thumb. I reassured him that I could still work, but I might be a bit slow. He was fine with that, afterall I've always been there and have always gone well out of my way for the job. So long as I'm there he don't feel he has to worry about anything not getting done. Thankfully the driver of the truck wasn't pushing so fast with the unload, everything worked out perfectly smooth, the driver and us moving the boxes at a nice steady, matched pace. At first I was taking only small boxes, light to medium weight, using my right hand but avoiding my thumb, but as we neared the end of the unload the swelling had actually gone down a lot and I was able to move my thumb a little bit and it didn't hurt to apply pressure to it (just a little sting). My manager said he was impressed, he was worried I may've broken it (I heal pretty fast).
Oh, he also told me how the visit went with the district manager, told me that the guy said that I seemed very competent and confident in my work abilities, and that I do a good job (with what he observed of me). My manager told the guy, "She always does." My manager also told me that he appreciates me, that I always go out of my way, doing my best even though the pay isn't so good. So I smashed my thumb up, was in pain for a little while, and was exhausted from the heat, but that made me feel good.
One more final detail of the day, a customer at one point went up to my manager while he was running the register, asking him something, he pointed towards me down the cookie isle (this before the trash, smashed thumb and truck unload). Lady comes over, asks me about smoke bombs or stink bombs (something of the sort). I look questioningly at her and ask, "For killing bugs?, or something else?" She said no, something for a little boy to play with. Okay, ugh, no, I've never seen anything like that here (I was thinking it be something kinda like how cap guns are). She tells me, "But I've heard that you carry them". I bring her to the toy isle because she requested something similar, I knew there wasn't but sure may as well humor her. Then she wants me to give her an idea of what this boy would like to play with. I don't know, have no idea of what boys like to play with I say (partial truth afterall I was one myself, but every boy has their own preferences in toys - I was only really into action figures). But she thanks me anyway (though not all to happily), and I go back to working.
A few minutes later she's at the front of the cookie isle at the endcap there and says to me, showing a package, that she found them. I'm like "Oh, I had no idea they were fireworks". Then she has to add more in about how she was telling me just in case someone else asks for them, that there they are. And saying some other things about it to make it seem like I didn't know how to do my job or like I was stupid or something, belittlement with a hint of sarcasm. She almost got me to retort back, but I merely smiled at her and thanked her for informing me of where and what they were. It almost got me in a bad mood, but somehow I pushed it out of my mind that while the memory of the event was still there, it was past, my mind didn't linger on it, and I continued putting out the rest of the snacks I had on my u-boat.
Got off very late today as my manager wanted me there still to complete the truck, but home now and now a couple hours later I'm sitting here typing this and eating a pizza but am still filthy as I can't even take a shower because our water is shut off. My mom just shouted out to a resident that was walking by our apartment asking if their water was off, the person said yeah, and told her that they asked the apartment management about it earlier, and was told there was broken pipe and they are currently working on fixing it. May as well just sit here on my laptop until then. Oh, my thumb is stiff and still very purple, but I can move it, only has a slight hint of pain, swelling went down that its almost normal size and shape again, should be fine in a couple days.

I had a good day today. Got into work for 9'o clock, asked the manager what he'd like me to work on first. He said one of the other stockers was there this morning too, that if I could start bringing boxes (frames, vases, candles) out for her (she has a little difficulty getting to them on the palettes because of a severe limp and one arm/hand doesn't function very well, plus some deformed fingers) that would be helpful, so I happily went to pulling boxes.
Throughout the day I went back and forth between my work in toys to assisting my coworker, bringing out boxes so that she can work them out. Each time she thanked me, and each time I gave her a warm you're welcome. I don't mind helping people if they are worthy of it, and she's a sweet young woman and not lazy, she works and gives her best, good enough for me. And I'd also give her pointers on how best to stock them onto the shelves for ease of shopping as well as working it next time and thereafter. She did alright.
By the end of the day (both of us scheduled to leave at 2pm) she had more boxes done than I did! Okay, granted she didn't have to pull any of them from the back, and my stuff involved more time average per box, but I was impressed. I told my manager how well it was all going (when the day was midway through), that we made a great team. He was pleased. It was like I was getting two things done at one time, multitasking, playing a little bit of a leadership role, and I felt good (drenched in sweat all day though).
I've noticed that not only am I smiling more lately (trying to have a better attitude), particularly at work, which is making me feel better, but also somehow I'm not letting customers get to me too much like I usually do, and also I noticed that I'm not cursing as much either (I have a serious problem with potty-mouth) which is good because it doesn't reflect well on me (I've known this for years but out of bad habit I continued to do it - still am, shows a little even with my posts, just not as much), that kind of vulgar language and harsh angry words aren't befitting of a lady. As my mom has said, someone sees me, thinks ooh, she's pretty, then out comes the F word or G damn or something equivalent. I sound like trash. So there's another one of my goals that I'm going to try really hard to work on, not cursing so much (this'll be very difficult).
My mom caught a cold or something, symptoms showing the night before yesterday, coughing and generally not feeling well...hope I don't get it. My mom saved me though from having to walk home in this heat, picked me up but also to come get some medicine because she needs to be able to function at her job. So we picked up a few things we needed. I got some different eyeliner, the pencil kind (I've been using the liquid kind for the past 4-5 days and while it looks fine, there is a problem with it crusting off (its cheap stuff, what can I expect) over the inner corners of the eyelids so I figured I give something else a try (cheap stuff also).
Got home, washed up (left my hair untouched though, looks pretty today, why mess it up), then pulled out hair with my epilator - legs, butt, armpits (one of the easiest places to do), chest/breast (covers up nipples with fingers, don't want to pull those out), but also my torso, and that just stings, thousands of fine hairs along my stomach area, stings so bad that it makes my muscles quiver and makes me a little shakey, but its just pain, it'll be over soon and it'll be worth it. So legs nice and smooth again (as smooth as they are going to get with this method of hair removal), ass soft like a baby's behind (nothing like touching a nice soft ass, especially my own), and I finally had the strength to handle the pain to make my stomach area soft and smooth (its been hairy for too long, was looking like a man's belly).
Got myself some lunch (a huge turkey sandwich), like an hour or so ago, still eating (a bowl of fruit that I didn't have time to eat for breakfast earlier). Finally my week of work is over (6 days straight, seemed I'd been working forever), got tomorrow off (as well as the rest of today), so going to enjoy it the most I can. Do need to do laundry though, maybe later tonight. Got to get to doing my stretches in a little bit, and pay my dog some attention.
Throughout the day I went back and forth between my work in toys to assisting my coworker, bringing out boxes so that she can work them out. Each time she thanked me, and each time I gave her a warm you're welcome. I don't mind helping people if they are worthy of it, and she's a sweet young woman and not lazy, she works and gives her best, good enough for me. And I'd also give her pointers on how best to stock them onto the shelves for ease of shopping as well as working it next time and thereafter. She did alright.
By the end of the day (both of us scheduled to leave at 2pm) she had more boxes done than I did! Okay, granted she didn't have to pull any of them from the back, and my stuff involved more time average per box, but I was impressed. I told my manager how well it was all going (when the day was midway through), that we made a great team. He was pleased. It was like I was getting two things done at one time, multitasking, playing a little bit of a leadership role, and I felt good (drenched in sweat all day though).
I've noticed that not only am I smiling more lately (trying to have a better attitude), particularly at work, which is making me feel better, but also somehow I'm not letting customers get to me too much like I usually do, and also I noticed that I'm not cursing as much either (I have a serious problem with potty-mouth) which is good because it doesn't reflect well on me (I've known this for years but out of bad habit I continued to do it - still am, shows a little even with my posts, just not as much), that kind of vulgar language and harsh angry words aren't befitting of a lady. As my mom has said, someone sees me, thinks ooh, she's pretty, then out comes the F word or G damn or something equivalent. I sound like trash. So there's another one of my goals that I'm going to try really hard to work on, not cursing so much (this'll be very difficult).
My mom caught a cold or something, symptoms showing the night before yesterday, coughing and generally not feeling well...hope I don't get it. My mom saved me though from having to walk home in this heat, picked me up but also to come get some medicine because she needs to be able to function at her job. So we picked up a few things we needed. I got some different eyeliner, the pencil kind (I've been using the liquid kind for the past 4-5 days and while it looks fine, there is a problem with it crusting off (its cheap stuff, what can I expect) over the inner corners of the eyelids so I figured I give something else a try (cheap stuff also).
Got home, washed up (left my hair untouched though, looks pretty today, why mess it up), then pulled out hair with my epilator - legs, butt, armpits (one of the easiest places to do), chest/breast (covers up nipples with fingers, don't want to pull those out), but also my torso, and that just stings, thousands of fine hairs along my stomach area, stings so bad that it makes my muscles quiver and makes me a little shakey, but its just pain, it'll be over soon and it'll be worth it. So legs nice and smooth again (as smooth as they are going to get with this method of hair removal), ass soft like a baby's behind (nothing like touching a nice soft ass, especially my own), and I finally had the strength to handle the pain to make my stomach area soft and smooth (its been hairy for too long, was looking like a man's belly).
Got myself some lunch (a huge turkey sandwich), like an hour or so ago, still eating (a bowl of fruit that I didn't have time to eat for breakfast earlier). Finally my week of work is over (6 days straight, seemed I'd been working forever), got tomorrow off (as well as the rest of today), so going to enjoy it the most I can. Do need to do laundry though, maybe later tonight. Got to get to doing my stretches in a little bit, and pay my dog some attention.

You and me both, I am under so much conviction about my own bad language, I made excuses for myself by thinking that the "F" word is such a great expletive, so meaningful under any number of different situations, but alas it's so personally degrading. I suppose that it comes out easily due to unresolved anger. Guess we both need to work on it baby doll, I do think that smiling a lot helps.

My brother and his wife came by today for one of those once a year obligatory visits and my sister-in-law said that I look like a girl. I suppose that coming from her it was suppose to be an insult. Funny how cis women react when they pick up on something like that whether it's feminine clothing a trace of makeup or anything that crosses the gender line, I think it's because they find it personally intimidating.

Got up, took a shower, got all dolled up (my face and hair looks all ready to go out someplace special) with nowhere to go...but the laundry room. My mom is really sick with a cold she came down with a couple days ago, she called out of work, they didn't seem too happy with that--you have to be dying for it to be okay to stay out. I had to do my small load of clothes, but her not feeling well I'm currently doing all of her clothes as well. Have to go back and get the sheets and towels out of the dryers in a little bit. Humidity is really bad today, makes walking that short distance outside exhausting, just so hard to breath that kind of air quality. I hate using the air condition because it'll jump that electrical bill up, but today we have to because its even worst in the apartment otherwise. I don't know yet what I'm going to do today, probably nothing much, same things I do most days.

Well, the rest of my day is almost over, so what did I do with it?
Did a lot of stretches, and spent much of my day here at Susan's Place. Seemingly not much, but I rather enjoyed my time, relaxed and typing away. Also, since a couple days ago I've been going through a lot of photos (scans or snaps of physical ones as well as digital) on my laptop as I've been trying to date them and put them in order. Having difficulty with very old childhood photos though as nearly all don't have the date stamped on back, I have to guess by what memory recalls of where I lived then and what I may've had for toys or other things that could clue me in on when they were taken. I want to put together a chronological album from baby up until present (was inspired by others to put together something like this).
I look at me then and see myself in the mirror now and think how much my life has changed, and how it all seems so much like a dream, like everything that happened before never was, yet, also think, what if I'm dreaming now? I smiled at myself, but got teary eyed a little too.
I tell you, I love me, I really do. Just think, if I didn't have the strength that I somehow did and still do, and checked out years ago, actually being able to follow through with suicide or just doing something stupid to mortally hurt myself, I wouldn't even be able to look back and see how far I've come.

Oh boy, I don't even know where to start with this one. First quoting myself on a related post which'll lead up to what happened today.
---
Okay, so that was a crazy long post, with probably another to follow in just a moment, so here goes:
I'm at work today, HBC, working out shampoo and the like, got maybe less than an hour left before its time to leave. I happen to look down the aisle and see a familiar face coming towards me. I think uh-oh, get ready, you asked for it, and he's back, so lets handle this a little better this time. He's smiling as he walks up to me, I do the same and we greet each other, both still smiling. He asked if I remembered him. I said, "Yes, I do 'input name here'." He got all happy, smiled with some laughter, totally surprised that I'd even remember his name, and gave me a hug, I kind of accepted it (still kind of nervous about the closeness since I don't even know him), just a very quick, but not so close embrace. He asked me how I was doing. I told him that I'm actually doing pretty good, and he said that he could see it, that I appeared to be feeling so much different than the first time he met me. I told him that I'm trying to smile more, feel better, even if I don't. He said it looks to be working. He noticed how I was fixed up too, make-up and earrings. I told him that I used to a while back, but somehow being unhappy just let myself go, but now am again and trying to feel better about myself. He gave me some pep talk about having confidence in myself and not selling myself short, how I could do and be anything I want, not to let anyone get me down because I'm a beautiful woman with a pretty smile. I thanked him, tried as much as possible to look him in the eyes and not shy away with my head down, and kept smiling.
But, he still wanted to take me out, makes me wonder, was he there for shopping and figured to see if I were working just for the hell of it to maybe give it another try, or was he there specifically to once again try to get me to go out with him. I continued to work, but not so intently, actually stopping to listen to him. He really seems to like me, and he really seems like a genuinely nice fellow. he wanted to know where I'd like to go out if I accepted, what I like to drink, do I like coffee, "I don't think so, all I ever drink really is water". Well, he said, "then we can go out for some water!" "Do you like steak, chinese, mexican..." and several other style foods he listed, because he really wanted to take me out. He told me if you want it could just be someplace simple, and we'll be in a public place so you'll be alright. "I just want to treat you to something to eat and talk, get to know you."
I stopped what I was doing, thinking about it, heart racing. I got up from kneeling (was putting out some hairspray), and I told him "I'd really love to go out with you, but there's something about me that could upset you." I made sure there was no one close by first, and then...I told him that I was a transsexual. I explained what I was about (I can't even remember all of what I told him, its kind of all muddled right now, but quite a bit). He was surprised, but he didn't get taken aback by it, just stood there listening to me, taking it all in. No signs of threat, embarrassment or anger on his face, so that was good.
I don't know how much he understands about what a transsexual is, but still even knowing what I have down there, he wants to take me out still. I told him that I wouldn't have said anything about it, afterall I don't plan on having sex or anything (and won't; and he knows I haven't ever, yeah I told him about that too - I think I opened up a tad much more than I expected to or should have). But I gave him a possible scenario: What if we're out together, most people see me as a genuine woman (as in born complete), but there's this small percentage of those that somehow know what to look for, and how would he take it if suddenly an event occurred where someone would call me out, possibly in front of others out in public. That could be very embarrassing for him (and me) and it could turn ugly. I wanted him to think about it, so he did for a few moments, thinking that was a good point, something to consider, and thanked me for being so completely open and honest about myself. I think I just earned his respect.
He asked me more questions about it, as well as complimenting me some more because he still thought I was downright beautiful. And, he still wanted to take me out! Asked if I was working Wednesday, I said no. When asked if I was working tomorrow, I told him yes, and he said he'll swing on by and if after I thought about it for a day, then I can make up my mind then. After our conversation he hugged me again, and I let him, even hugging back (I'm trying not to let this whole contact thing frighten me, its just a damn hug afterall).
But also, there's there small bit of curiosity there now, I could tell he wanted to give me more than just a hug, but now there's that totally new element there that somehow made it more interesting for him. He asked if he could kiss me (somehow I had a feeling this was coming), I told him that I wasn't ready for that, "What'd you want me to faint or something?" I say to him. So he said, "how about just on the cheek?" And get this, I let him. What the hell am I thinking!? Hello, wake up call, you just let some strange (but good looking and seeming nice) guy kiss you (I barely felt his lips on my face, but definitely his rough cheek as it brushed mine).
I'm still stunned by this whole event today. Still shaking my head in puzzlement. What the heck came over me? After he left I was flooded by a bunch of different emotions, went from smiling to teary eyed, back to smiling again, and my nerves were shot to hell. But I'm still smiling (probably even moreso). I didn't say yes yet, but didn't say no either, I am so confused. I've never done this going out with someone thing, if a date or whatever it could be considered, I have no clue as how to handle myself. I feel like a shy teenage girl that finally just got asked out by some cute boy and feel like I'm dreaming and totally excited but lost on what to do! I'm outwardly calm right now as I type this, but my stomach has been gurgling something terrible.
You see what happens when you ask for something, sometimes you get it, but aren't really prepared for it. Deep down I wanted him to come back (yet at the same time was thinking I hope not, that way I can continue to feel safe within my own world), and I wanted so much to handle it better, talking with him and maybe even saying yes if asked out again. Well now, here's my chance. But I am so friggin' scared. I hope I didn't make a mistake with what I told him (maybe I should have kept it secret, but its not me, I can't play games like that), but I felt it necessary that I be honest right away, that way he could choose whether to see me still or to walk away. I know it could change how he perceives me, that worries me also. But he doesn't let off intimidating vibes, is very outgoing and seems to care about people in general from his smile as well as his quiet gentle spoken words and demeanor, if he seemed the type that would get violent or something I wouldn't had been able to tell him about myself and once again brushed him off. I know I'm taking a huge risk, but if I don't then what, continue living a lonely life, possibly even long after my mom passes away (thinking really far ahead here, and only if she dies before me), an old woman whom never got to experience love with another, or just simply close friendship. Wait 'n till my moms hears this one, she'll be floored, especially if I go through with it. Oh boy...

Today? I don't (not yet anyway), its the wee hours of the morning, so not much could go wrong to make me unhappy. But yesterday I had a moment. So while at work, customer comes up to me while I'm in the HBC isle, asks me where the socks are, so I bring him around to the next isle, he thanks me. Moment later before I walked away, asks me where mugs would be, so I bring him a few more isles over, give a point down to the end of that isle. He smiles and thanks me again. I get back to my work.
A few moments later he comes back into the isle I'm at and asks me if I'm new there because he's never seen me before. I told him nope, been here since last years, almost a year ago. I continued to work. He decided to stick around. Uh-oh, I'm thinking, yep, I know where this is going to be going, soon he'll be asking me questions and then build up the courage to ask me out. Sure enough, questions about this and that. What do you like to do? Cross-stitch.
Yep, that's it. I work, I go straight home, spend a bit of time with my dog, then cross-stitch until I get tired of it. And I don't go out unless I have to. Interesting? Nah. But somehow he thought so. Must be the hidden mysteries he thinks there may be. You like sports? Nope. Where you from? Born one place, lived mostly in another, moved yet to another place, ended up here. I think he ended up standing there watching me work for a good 15 minutes with the occasional question or attempt at conversation.
I could have brushed him off rudely as I used to do when guys would try to ask me out years ago (some of them were really persistent), but somehow over the years I've become considerate. I figured no harm answering him, so did so each time with my usual blunt straight answer as if taking a test any time anyone wants to know something about me. Rarely looking him in the face, still much of my concentration on my work. He thought I was interesting and liked that I knew who I was (regarding knowing my own strengths and weaknesses, about work and other stuff).
Then asked me what time I got off of work, because he wanted to take me out for a cup of coffee and donuts. I didn't answer right away. But then told him that I don't know how to answer it, the whole going out and people thing, well, its not something I have much experience with. He asked me for my phone number so we could continue talking, I told him I don't use the phone really. Again, I don't do the whole talking, social thing very well. He thought I was handling it well, but I was merely answering questions, because if he wasn't keeping it going there'd be no talking on my end at all.
Eventually he said he had to go and hoped to see me around in there again. But then did something that took me totally off guard, gave me a little bit of a hug, not really a close kind as I think he could tell I was unnerved about it, but somehow during our talk maybe he felt bad for me (I suppose from other people's view after hearing me talk and sounding so dull and negative, I must sound like a sad case, someone in need of a hug), I don't know. Well, he finally left.
I went to the back moments later to put some cases of merchandise away that I couldn't fit out on the shelf, and well, had a breakdown, balled my eyes out. Why? Because I really wanted to say yes. I've never been out with anyone, ever. No dates, no nothing. I've never even been kissed, and would probably get dizzy and pass out from being so nervous. I spend my whole life avoiding as many encounters as I can, yet at the same time yearn it, all of it. Heck, I don't even know if I'm into men or women, finding attraction towards both but nothing strong or lasting.
But I'm not what he's looking for, even if in some extremely rare case the whole transsexual deal doesn't bother him (and not because it was something strange and thrillingly different) and still wanted me to go out with me, I wouldn't. I am and have always been since I was a child an extreme introvert. Aside from family, I have lived a solitary life, I keep myself entertained, enjoy my own company, that's how its pretty much always been. So anyone trying to befriend me, well, they got a lot of work cut out for them, but those that do manage, somehow something at some point frightens me away. I am heavily guarded and untrusting of people (yet here I am on the internet bearing details about me, makes a lot of sense).
So, here I was crying, because I know deep down I wish I could be like everyone else, it'd certainly make life out there easier since much of it revolves around socializing in some way or another. And this bit typed up here and anything I read or reply to, its not the same for me, just walls of text, no faces, no voices, no confrontations, no pressure, I can read or not, reply or not, and take all the time in the world with any of it with no one to get impatient with me and no commitment necessary.
As for what I'll do next time he happens to stop in to shop on my shift, I don't know yet. Do what I do best I guess, let him know that there's no point wasting his time with me, the answer will still be no. Maybe next time I'll be a royal bitch (hormones ran out), its only a matter of time before testosterone starts taking a more negative control of my mood again.
And here I got this really nice dress last weekend (that I just had to have, around $10 at Walmart) and no place to wear it. Bummer. Oh well. Stop f'in crying and get back to work.

Well now, here's my chance. But I am so friggin' scared. I hope I didn't make a mistake with what I told him (maybe I should have kept it secret, but its not me, I can't play games like that), but I felt it necessary that I be honest right away, that way he could choose whether to see me still or to walk away. I know it could change how he perceives me, that worries me also. But he doesn't let off intimidating vibes, is very outgoing and seems to care about people in general from his smile as well as his quiet gentle spoken words and demeanor, if he seemed the type that would get violent or something I wouldn't had been able to tell him about myself and once again brushed him off. I know I'm taking a huge risk, but if I don't then what, continue living a lonely life, possibly even long after my mom passes away (thinking really far ahead here, and only if she dies before me), an old woman whom never got to experience love with another, or just simply close friendship. Wait 'n till my moms hears this one, she'll be floored, especially if I go through with it. Oh boy...

I read it all Miharu Barbie, you kept me enthralled to the end.
This 'Ann' was just a rotten person to begin with, but also, perhaps there was some jealousy there because you are so sweet and girly and totally passable when she wasn't any of those things. Perhaps.
I'd trust a trans person just as much as I do any cis-person, we are all individuals, each with our own behavior and morals. I keep myself stealth out there and while not as girly-girl as Miharu, I am still perceived as a woman (there have been very few exceptions). No way would I come out to anyone so easily, because even though sometimes I'd like to (especially with someone that I'm friends with), doing so could be catastrophic (not all the time, but better not to take that risk). Safer to blend in than put yourself out there as a possible target. Yet, I'm here, but I can't live in total fear, but out there, nah, I don't think so, its no one's business what I am under my clothes.
Yep, I done F@#$ed up now.

My boyfriend and I drove almost 600 miles for no real reason other than to do it. Not the most environmentally friendly thing to do, but at least we don't have a big SUV or something. We were in his Acura. It gets decent mileage. ;D Al Gore would still be pissed off though. lol
Yeah he would as he leaves his environmentally disastrous power guzzling mega house and rides to the airport in his gas guzzling limousine and climbs aboard of his mega carbon producing private jet. Nothing like an elitist hypocrite telling us little people how to live huh? Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy!

Didn't get much sleep last night, maybe 4 hours. It seems like I'm averaging around 5 hours each night for the past several weeks, yet somehow I'm managing to stay awake well enough during the day, but today, while I felt fine at first, I was really bogged down when I got to work. My mom told me that I was singing in my sleep, yeah I can see me doing that. Also the guy that asked me out was on my thoughts when I awoke too early this morning. I couldn't get back to sleep even though I had an hour and something left until my alarm went off. Took the dog out, ate breakfast, went on internet, Susan's made me late for work, again (its okay). You know I used to be so punctual that most of the time any place I had to be I was almost always early, but the last few weeks I just haven't cared. Time stresses me out anyway.
Our internet at work wasn't working at all today, so that means no access to time clock, so if I wanted to I could've wrote in that I was on time, but honest me says I'm 5 minutes late. That brings me to my over honesty yesterday, I think I done scared my possible date away. I waited for him to come today as he said he would, while I worked of coarse, all the while silly girly me is getting excited anticipating how things are going to play out when we go out. Even fantasizing well beyond today, what a sad pathetic case I was. So he never did show, but by the time the day was nearly out, I was too tired to care, glad actually, relieved (I said I'd go home and sleep, I haven't yet). I think he was just trying to be nice to me after I told him about myself being trans and whatnot. I kind of knew it was too good to happen to me, but then maybe it wasn't supposed to, not at this time. I was cursing at myself walking home, I felt so foolish.
I'd say more about it, but seriously, I'm just really very tired. I can't even get a decent picture of me crying that actually looks like a woman crying (get this, even when I'm upset I still try to take selfies), I see myself with tears streaming down my face and it just pisses me off. I'm a wreck today, don't even feel feminine, and all I got today were women eyeballing me and smiling, like I was letting off pheromones just for them. I don't even know why I'd want a man in my life anyway, he'd just over complicate it more than it already is, women are easier to understand, plus prettier, and I won't have to deal with any toilet seat issues among many other things. I got two days off from work and I don't even know what the hell to do with my time now.

At one point in my life I don't think I even did complete sentences, just simple straight to the point, easy to follow lists. I don't know when it was that I started writing essays.

Woke up hard, got in the shower, broke down crying while in there. I had my first self-destructive thought in a while involving a hammer to crack some nuts (it passed, it was just a fleeting thought). Feeling really shaky, jittery this morning. Been crying sporadically. Pulled leg hairs (I don't know why), didn't really have much as it was just light hair, strays really. Sat down at my desk, pulled facial hair. Now what?

After mom left for work I had to do something to get myself in a better mood (plus she gave me hell about it too), so I played with my dog and made a video recording (nearly a half hour) of us playing. Decided, even though I'm a bit shy as well as critical of myself that I am going to post this video for everyone else to see and hopefully enjoy. Also, there's only so much a picture and text can do so I figured, this would be a good way to show myself and how I am - my behavior, voice, what I do with my time (at least a little portion of my time) so you all can get to know me better.
And I am so nervous about posting this, but I think I need to...just post it dammit!

Cody says hi to Snickers!

Oh my goodness, Cody's a cutie!
Snickers is part Border Collie.
When Snickers hears playbacks of any videos with her in it she gets excited, does the little tilt of the head, then tries to figure out where the sound is coming from, and sometimes goes and gets one of her toys, thinking it was a cue to play.
I just told my doggie, "Snickers, I know you don't know who Cody is, but Cody says 'hi' " :D
Yeah, that one, the Statue of Liberty I did for my mom a while back. That does remind me, I still want to make a video of me showing off all of my cross-stitches.
After seeing and hearing myself in that video, I'm asking myself, what the hell are you all upset and worried about, mom and everyone else is right, you are fine! So yeah, feeling better (for now). :)

That's one thing I'm really not excited about when it comes to teaching. I never really spotted any plagiarism as a TA (poor referencing, yes, but it was such an obvious, and honest, mistake that I was able to just bring that to their attention). I'm not good with confrontation, even delicate confrontation, lol.

Rough day today. Went into work (boss called yesterday and asked if I could come in), had a really difficult time holding myself together, crying sporadically throughout the day, really did not think I'd make it, almost was going to tell him that I had to go home early. And well, the ->-bleeped-<-'s hit the fan inside of my brain, suicidal thoughts abound, I couldn't shake them, kept working, but couldn't stay focused with where my thoughts and feelings were, and I've been shaky, nerves all screwy, like withdrawal symptoms.
Once I got home, got into the shower, and just could not keep the tears at bay, nose running, choking on sticky snot, eyes that I could hardly see out of and they were so bloodshot, and if I hadn't gotten myself under control I would've started hyperventilating (was getting there). Dried off, stood there in the front of the vanity, towel around me, wondering why am I, I'm just so tired I want to die. But yet I don't, but it all seems so hopeless, everything, my whole future.
I pulled myself together enough to sit down and make some calls. I called 3 doctors this afternoon, all were listed at the GLMA website, found this place a couple weeks when trying to search for doctors, it had a list of some that I could try, figured today, once I calmed down enough, I'd give them a call.
1st one, a family practice - no sorry we don't do that here. Okay, next.
2nd option, endocrinologist - I think we do, but I don't want to give you the wrong information, let me switch you to the voicemail of someone who may know as she isn't in right now, so I left a message.
This other lady called me back around 3:30pm, maybe about a half hour after I had called before, said they do not do treatments for hormone therapy there, but can treat me for other stuff if I'm looking for a family doctor.
3rd choice, another family practice - says they do hormones on that website, we'll see.
Yes, we do the lady on the other end says enthusiastically. But the initial visit is really steep she say, $396 (Wha...t!!), after that though there is payment plan can be arranged, but I wasn't given any specific cost nor was she going to tell me (most likely they don't want to tell you because its still steep); this is worst than another doctor I called a couple weeks ago which was $386.
So far since last month I've contacted 8 doctors (perhaps I should've been calling more), most were specifically endocrinologist. So far only 2 that would take me, but cost nearly a month of my paychecks. I'm trying not to let this get me down, as it least there are options available, but how to afford them? I'm taking any hours that I can get and I'm barely holding onto my sanity, if I were able to take another second job I would, but I'm not even in stable condition. No one has seen me crying yet except my store manager when I broke down several weeks ago when she had me fixing up the fake flowers, I was so bad I had to tell her that I had to go home. If I keep all this up I'm worried about my job too, they can't have me falling to pieces like this.
I keep thinking all these horrible thoughts, I don't want to do anything to hurt myself or worst, but I don't know what else to do. I was sitting here typing this, screen all blurry, and my hands and fingers numb, because I just couldn't stop crying. Its like every time I have gone off of the hormones the negative reactions get worst, all this is hitting much faster than it did last time I was off of them for a while. Okay, got a terrible headache now, think I done shed enough tears. But I'd love to know what the whole point was in all this, being born the way I am, wonder if it'll be something I can look back on and laugh when in the next life.
Once I got home, got into the shower, and just could not keep the tears at bay, nose running, choking on sticky snot, eyes that I could hardly see out of and they were so bloodshot, and if I hadn't gotten myself under control I would've started hyperventilating (was getting there). Dried off, stood there in the front of the vanity, towel around me, wondering why am I, I'm just so tired I want to die. But yet I don't, but it all seems so hopeless, everything, my whole future.
I pulled myself together enough to sit down and make some calls. I called 3 doctors this afternoon, all were listed at the GLMA website, found this place a couple weeks when trying to search for doctors, it had a list of some that I could try, figured today, once I calmed down enough, I'd give them a call.
1st one, a family practice - no sorry we don't do that here. Okay, next.
2nd option, endocrinologist - I think we do, but I don't want to give you the wrong information, let me switch you to the voicemail of someone who may know as she isn't in right now, so I left a message.
This other lady called me back around 3:30pm, maybe about a half hour after I had called before, said they do not do treatments for hormone therapy there, but can treat me for other stuff if I'm looking for a family doctor.
3rd choice, another family practice - says they do hormones on that website, we'll see.
Yes, we do the lady on the other end says enthusiastically. But the initial visit is really steep she say, $396 (Wha...t!!), after that though there is payment plan can be arranged, but I wasn't given any specific cost nor was she going to tell me (most likely they don't want to tell you because its still steep); this is worst than another doctor I called a couple weeks ago which was $386.

Hi Marcel, welcome!
Thanks!^^
Today, I was thinking about my crush again. Maybe she'll notice me more once I start those T injections, my female body is still a deterrent for dating.

You may be right. Actually, I'm starting to believe a lot more. Something is keeping me going for some reason, and it seems I am powerless to go against its will. Better to go with the flow? Its going in the right direction, so what am I so upset for? Damn river isn't flowing fast enough! :D

I'm sorry that you are having such a hard time Megan Joanne. I was off hormones for a year after my ending my MTF transition and I felt absolutely horrid. Try to remind yourself that a lot of it is biological, not having any hormones in the body can make you feel like you are losing your mind and very depressed. It's hard when you feel so terrible but in time you will find a way to access your HRT again.

Oh crap, almost forgot about this, want to keep a log of each of my days.
Woke up too early this morning, actually every morning for the past couple weeks, and every night about the same amount of sleep, 5 hours. I wondered if this would be healthy for me being as all my years of living I always needed twice that, yet was always still tired anyway. I really think its the stretching that I've been doing, as well as my diet of fruit in the morning, turkey sandwich for lunch and a small dinner, even cut back a lot on the junk, a medium sized bowl of ice cream is fine, I'll just stretch it off.
Okay, got up, got dressed, got somewhat prettied up (hair wasn't looking too good though), took dog out, came back, ate breakfast (turkey sandwich instead of fruit because I've been getting too hungry when at work because the fruit doesn't fill me enough), got on Susan's for a little bit.
Went to work for 10am, oh, forgot boss lady came back today, so I'll be working with her. Hope my day goes okay. Got there, started on working out some big boxes to clear out some space for when the truck arrives at 11am. Sometime while I was on the floor, looking to see if I could fit some cotton candy out I see the district manager up front talking with my store manager (Boss Lady), he sees me, smiles and waves, I do the same back (I think I made a good impression on him those few days ago when he was here). I didn't get much out, but every little bit helps. Truck was here, and by the time I got finished boss lady already had things set up in the back. First thing, water, ugh, a whole large palette, lets get it over with. We had like 800 something cases of stuff on the truck, but the water, the whole entire palette only counts as 1. Since my boss is so energetic and strong I let her handle the most of the heavy lifting, that goes for the bleach as well that we got in too. I don't know where she get her energy from, and I really have to use all of my strength sometimes to lift the really heavy stuff (50 lbs), she lifts them one after another like barely any effort. I wonder if she lifts weights? I done hurt myself a couple weeks ago lifting over my limit, strained myself really bad, so if I do have to lift super heavy boxes, I'm going slow and cautious.
Truck took about 2 hours to unload, pretty fast I think, I was thankful it was done, and my boss too, she looked more worn out than usual. I had asked her while unloading, "Aren't you hot wearing that shirt?" because she had on a long-sleeved top, I didn't get that. If anything all of the sweating would be trapped within and cool her down, I guess.
Started HBC after that, had about 2 hours to work with, gave me just enough time to work out a single U-boat (still have another full one). While unloading the truck I felt at times like I was going to fall asleep on my feet, just way too hot, and it took me a good hour and something working HBC before I actually got my energy back. But, my mood was okay. Actually I was smiling today, not really while working because I was kind of worn out from the unloading, but was really good with customers, even being extra helpful.
The day was over, time to go home (I got the weekend off completely this time). I'm heading up front to clock out, just about to, lady customer asks, "Do you work here?" Uh-oh I think. Yes, I do, I say. "Can you blow up some balloons for me?" Sure, I can do that. She had a big order, about a dozen. After her, another customer wanting balloons. Then another. What is this balloon day? 15 minutes past time to go home, 3 customers in a row so far with balloons, and 2 more just came up wanting the same of me. Oh crap, I have to pee. One moment I say to one of them, be right back. I went looking for boss lady, found her working an endcap near the back of the store. Told her rapidly that I was stuck with everyone wanting balloons! She asked if there were any up there now, I said two of them, and that I had already taken care of three and I really have to pee! She went up there, I went to the restroom. Okay, now, lets see if I can get out of here! Got my handbag out of my locker, put my work stuff inside, rushed up front, oh distracted by balloons, almost forgot to clock out, did that, then got my schedule for next week. She thanked me for an awesome job, I replied with a cheerful you're welcome. Rushed out the door.
Got home much later than usual, mom was home today (her day off, she's sick with a cold, has been since last week, so not really the kind of day off to enjoy). Snickers excitedly greeted me as usual. I give mom a quick summary of my day, then shower time. Once I got cleaned up I felt refreshed, actually felt like the girly me, looked it too, and got on my favorite little dress (the one in my avatar currently). Got on Susan's, typed out my usual huge messages that I do, took a break from it, ate, did my stretches. All afternoon and evening I stretched once in a while, alternating with my time here and playing with my dog, all the while feeling really good, and so talkative (I talk a lot to my dog, as well as to myself), but today I don't think I even gave myself a minute of silence (got a bit hoarse after a while). I don't know really where this total change of mood came from, but do have an idea (feelings of renewed hope).
Made dinner, ate, realized I forgot to type up my daily log, and so sat down to do just that, and just as it hit midnight I am finished.

So far, it's my birthday. Dad came in with a candle on a vanilla frosted donut and I got a picture drawn of what I look like. Otherwise, I just expect to be taken out to Olive Garden since I love Italian food and for my mom to come home from Bolivia.

Okay, so missed logging down what my day was like yesterday. I almost was just going to say to hell with it and forget keeping up on this altogether, but that was then, my thoughts weren't clear and I was too upset to care. I'm okay now, so here goes.
So yesterday, having gotten really impatient, desperate to get back on the hormones I decided to take a risk, one I had thought about before some few years ago when I was off of the hormones for a while then. I was going to order them online, through an oversea's source that didn't require any prescriptions.
The place only accepted echecks. I spent much of the morning trying to figure out how to do this, still didn't understand what I was supposed to do decided to try to check out with what I had in my cart (a batch of estrogen patches). Ah, okay, so the echeck thing is done straight from here. But, they wanted routing number and bank account number. I had already done this before with Paypal, so may its okay (plus, heck, when you give stores and other places actual physical checks everything is on those too). I put in my info, clicked to check out. Okay, it was declined. Why? I had plenty of money in the bank (my whole paycheck). I tried again thinking maybe I input the numbers wrong. Still same message. Maybe its just a glitch, things like this do happen. But then suddenly I came to a possible realization, I think I just did something stupid.
So now is where I get worried and start investigating things a bit more, and with my exploring I'm finding nothing but scam alerts about some dealings, not entirely with them (even though things still seem sketchy about the whole thing) but with the company they do their echecks with. @#$%! Anyway after panicking for a bit, thinking what if my bank information actually did go through and now I'm open to being taken of what little bit I have or possibly more. Maybe I'm just being paranoid because of being weary about it all to begin with.
There was more that went on, but too much to go into detail. I did contact them via email and later they did contact me back with full details on how to check out, but I'm not going to go through with it afterall. If I'm worried about it, best to stick with my instincts. But afterwards, early afternoon my mom finally got up (still sick with cold), and I told her what happened, what I did. She got into me about it, telling me that I'm not supposed to be giving out account numbers like that to just any 'ol body. I know, I wasn't thinking clearly, I'm sorry. She asked if everything was okay with the account, nothing taken. I said yeah. Okay, lets go down to the bank and withdraw it all, just in case. So we did. Not saying that any foul play would happen but its a shared account and we can't afford to not be able to make rent, we'd end up right back where we were just because of me.
My mom was surprised that I actually did what I did, saying that I'm usually the careful one, I reminded her where my brain was at the moment, as well as that time I fell a couple years ago cracking my ribs because I wasn't thinking and did something careless. Probably everything would have been fine, but can't afford slip ups like this just because I can't wait just a little bit longer.
If its too good to be true, or too easy to get, then it may be a lie. I know its hard but there's a reason things are done the way they are, for your protection. What if you did get the stuff, used it but suddenly got horribly sick from it or died because it wasn't what it appeared to be or was tainted or tampered with somehow. There's a lot of people out there looking to hurt someone for their own gain, and they don't care, you need to be more careful. Make some more calls, its a big city, there has to be someone out there that won't cost too much that will take you.
This drama lasted much the day, but later with her constantly telling me to stop crying and that it'll be okay, I calmed down. Maybe I just over-react too much, actually I know I do, even for small things, so it doesn't take much to make me an emotional wreck. After we got home I started dinner, did my stretches, but avoided going on the internet for a bit until my mind cleared up a bit (if I would have come here I would have spouted nothing but negativity) and I was more relaxed.
While playing with my dog and laying on the carpet looking at her and how pretty the eyeliner like markings are around her eyes, I suddenly had a fun idea. So I took out my eyeliner and started making myself up, lots of heavy black around the eyes, and a lot more around the one, trying to mimic her looks, even blackened the tip of my nose and speckled up the length of it. Oh my gosh! How cute! Okay, it looked like crap, but anyway I had fun, and I felt better for the rest of the night.
Oh, if for some reason anything I said above is out of line or against site rules, let me know and I'll edit out or remove the post (keeping those certain details for my own personal logs only). Thanks.

This kind of thing is exactly what I'm talking about. Reading this cheered me up too :)

No you didn't look crap, you looked like your dog :p and if you took a snap shot of that, along side your dog (if you could get him to stay still long enough) would of made an awesome picture :). Moments like this are amongst the best we can have. Those silly little things :)
My sister has a snap of me with a card board box o my head, purposely walking into things and acting like I don't know I have a box on my head. Why was I doing it, because I felt like it, and my nieces and nephews we're there to laugh. I felt better, and as soon as I did that I threw in a little bit of ET interpretations and boom, happiest id been in months. She shows me that photo whenever I get low, saying "Id be frightened you would do something stupid, if it wasn't so good for you." Of course I see that and remembers how good it feels to be stupid :P.
I live with just my dad, and spend a lot of time on my own. So what I do Is dress up really silly for when he gets home. Or just clown my face with my make up, and act like nothing is out of the ordinary. Of course he laughs and then I laugh (Sometimes I forget I clowned my face, and actually go shopping in it :P)
But those moment's really are the best ones. :)

I'm sorry that you had to endure that stress Megan, I suppose that your mom is right. Is there a transgender group that meets in your area? Often times they will have a pretty good handle on the local trans friendly medical services that are available. You might google and check around and pick some brains for what's available, probably better than just randomly going through the phone book.

I once put a paper bag on my head when playing with my dog, she pounded the hell out of me jumping at the bag on my head, hit me in the face pretty hard, ouch. Lets not do that again. My mom's always having to remind me especially if she's going out to work that I be careful when playing with Snickers because she knows how rambunctious we are when we get the chance to be, she don't want either of us getting hurt.
I need to make some more videos of my dog and I, and some silly things I do as well, eh, when I'm up for it. I need next time buy the small boxes of Poptarts, haven't had a boxing match with my dog in a while, and that'd make for one stupid silly video too. We also have fun with paper bags and paper towel rolls, items that had a specific regular function but recycled into fun play things.
It is those most silly, childish things that sometimes bring the most joy.

Emailed my therapist from a couple of years ago to see if she can get in another session with me for my letters of recommendation before August so I can use them to apply for a top surgery scholarship.

Okay, falling behind here. Its now once again the next day and I'm typing in what I have done yesterday.
Seriously, I'm having trouble remembering...
Not a whole heck of a lot really, was supposed to do some stuff but ended up doing much of nothing.
Worked on trying to create a job resume (still not finished) but also trying to learn how to use Microsoft Word (frustratingly complicated).
Stretches throughout the day, internet, mostly here and Susan's. Eh, yeah, uneventful. I guess that's fine once in a while. I'm sure tomorrow (err, later today) will be different and plenty more to say again.
Oh, did take some more pictures. I wanted to see where I was on this whole quest to do the splits things, since its hard to see myself while doing them, I snapped off some pics of some of my poses. I still have a long way to go with this, but I have come a long way too (I had very little flexibility before), no way would I have gotten my body that close to my legs before, so I'm making progress.
Snickers always thinks its play time when I get down onto the floor to exercise (ball rolling down side of my ankle just as the shot is taken):

Oh come on Meg, play with me:

I need to be able to get my leg all the way up to my shoulder, I'm confident I can do it, maybe in a few months:

Thank you. Working on it, and I'll get there, so long as I don't give up.
Woke up today with a dry mouth and throat, uh-oh I think, feels like I may be getting mom's cold. While getting ready for work, having fits over my hair because its been so dry and brittle the past few days, looks like its been fried like some people dry their hair beyond necessary (I always let mine dry itself) or when they use too many harsh chemical on their hair. My hair looks old, like it should be on someone 20-30 years my senior, I don't know what the hell is going on, but its not good. And somehow, I think its thinning out too, even found that it appears I have a bald spot to one side, wonderful, that's all I need. >:( :(
Got to work, started housewares, struggled to maintain my sanity, still not feeling good, tip of my tongue feels like I burned it like when you put too hot of food in your mouth, mouth and throat very dry, and I had very little energy. Got one U-boat worth done, then was going to take my break. Clocked out, went to the back, went to open my locker...uh, okay, where are my keys? They should've been hooked to one of my belt loops on my pants, nope, not anywhere on me. I retraced my steps around the store, finding nothing and knew I wouldn't because stupid me hooked them right back onto my purse when I put my stuff in my locker at the start of the day, I'm sure of it now, as I now didn't ever recall hearing any jingling along my side while working.
I told boss lady what happened, and that I needed to go home now so I can still get in, before my mom leaves for work, so I can get the spare key, if I can find it. Told her I'd be back soon and finish up what I was doing. So I clocked out, rushed out and home. Knocked on the door, Snickers barked her head off, mom came and answered it, confused as to why I'd be home now, so early. I told her what happened, then started fishing through every place I thought I may've put that extra key. She annoyed me with the same barrage of questions over and over again, I was flustered as was and now starting to snap at her. I didn't find that extra key, then after a bit of searching realize that I probably don't have it because it may've been one of those items amongst many other things that got left behind when last we became homeless. Okay, I guess I'll just have to take some tools and see if I can break that lock then.
Mom drove me back to work, following me in. I got to my locker and proceeded to go to work in trying to destroy it. She was standing over me watching, too close, and I was in a very foul mood, "Uh, are you just going to stand there and watch me?" I growled at her. She walked off to walk around the store. Yeah, wasn't very nice of me, but see, that's what happens when the old me has enough time be out, he's a jerk ass and I wish horrible excruciating pain upon him. Unfortunately that'd be me, its not like I can separate my male and female sides into two different people, I'd tell him to take a hike.
My mom came back around every few minutes to see how things were going, I tried not to act like an ->-bleeped-<-, but was still growling out answers. Soon after she had to leave to get to work herself, leaving me her housekey just in case, I continued to grind and rip away at my lock with the best tool for the job that I had, a screwdriver. Got the keyhole widened, and split, ah, finally, half of it fell out! Moments later, click, lock opens. Thank goodness. It took about 20 minutes, so not too bad. If it took all day I'd still been there as stubborn as I am, but so glad it didn't, my mental state would've declined a lot more than it already was.

I opened up my locker and sure enough, there were my keys, attached to my purse. Went to the hardware section, grabbed another lock, a combination one, payed for it. Big mistake, after like a dozen tries I was only able to unlock it once by no understanding whatsoever of how I even did. I followed the directions but somehow this simple task was confusing and difficult... to hell with it! Probably'd end up forgetting the numbers anyway. Went and got a normal padlock like the one I just destroyed, but skimpier, a cheapie. Okay, everything fine now, so calm the f@#$ down already. Put my stuff away again, this time making absolutely sure I had my keys on me (this was the first time I had ever done something like this, but I certainly didn't need it happening again, and so soon), then clocked back in to finish the rest of my day.
Was going to continue with housewares but wasn't in the mood, so went to HBC instead, even though I knew 2 hours wasn't going to be enough time to complete what I had on the U-boat, will just do what I can and pick up where I left off with this and housewares maybe tomorrow. I started having some internal issues while working, this after seeing a bunch of girls and young ladies come in dressed for dancing, having come over probably to buy snacks, drinks or something from the dance studio right next to us. Anytime I see women wearing leggings or such it kind of gets to me, seeing them being able to express how they dress so freely, not ever having to worry about some disgusting wormy looking thing with a nut sack showing itself and disturbing their beauty and peace of mind. They are free, I still feel like a prisoner looking out from myself, longing to be like them. I fought off tears, got angry at myself instead, continued working.
Only good point in the day was when a young lady came up to me asking where the tweezers were, telling me that I had to show her where they were because, "I can't see a f@#$ing thing without my glasses." Seriously, those are the words she used. I thought that was great, just so casually said, brought a smile to my face. I really needed this and appreciated the word usage as I had been cursing up a storm today, so it was good hearing it from some other woman and not in anger like how I had been.
My mom doesn't like what I'm like this, has told me many times that I'm scary, its like when I start showing so much rage and spouting violence, I become a whole 'nother person. I don't like it either but I can't help it, can see myself behaving this way but its almost like I'm not home, and the worst I act, the more I hate myself for it, the more likely I'll do something to hurt myself. That is my male side. My female side is nice and sweet (most of the time), she's emotional at times but rarely ever aggressive, and she doesn't try to hurt herself either, and I so want her back right now.
So, I'm home now, took a shower when I came in, rinsed my hair but didn't put anything in it, still it looks like hay. Looked on the internet for ideas, okay, I think I can do this one. I don't have any olive oil, so canola oil will have to do. Only a little bit of honey left (mom's been using it to soothe her throat), but should be enough. Mixed oil and honey together, smoothed into hair and scalp. Was going to do mayo and eggs but those would've been too messy and smelly. Been typing this message up for over an hour now, eating a bowl of fruit that I didn't have enough time to eat for breakfast earlier, still sitting here smelling like a bee's ass, sweet as honey.
I was going to make some calls today, try to find some more doctors for the HRT, but mom told me that the phone is dead, ran out of airtime, need to get another phone card. I think we both forgot about that over the weekend. I'd like to be dead right now, then I wouldn't have to be going through this crap, its been too long, too many years, yet I tiredly go on just to face the same ->-bleeped-<- tomorrow, and once again as its been every day for the past couple weeks, the thing down below giving me a not so wonderful start to my morning.
Took dog out, feeling a little bit better. It helped typing all this up because by the time I was finished I felt more calm, but always the next storm is ever on the horizon.

I have been there so many times Megan when Mr. Hyde comes to take me over and I feel like the little guy with the rain cloud and lightening bolts over my head, so you are definitely not alone and I would bet there are many others here that will agree and be able to relate.

Yeah, I was kind of an ass. She puts up with a lot of my crap, so I think I should give her a big hug tonight.
Made another video this evening with Snickers and I, something new I just suddenly had an idea for, for all the empty chocolate Poptart boxes I'd been storing up.

The video was much longer, but I think I ended it at the best spot. ;D

Atta Girl! Gee that little dog is smart and attentive, you can see her thinking and processing. And they say animals don't think and only act on instinct, balderdash!

Tore landscape contractor and foreman new a*holes for exhibiting blatant and illogical idiocy. Paid them with money I don't actually have anyway.
I can't wait for them to finish up and go away for good.

Today I had a meltdown at work. But first, woke up saw myself in the mirror, suddenly I realized how much I've been damaging myself with all this stretching I've been doing. I've lost way too much body fat, legs are looking like sticks, hips are almost nonexistent, I'm going almost straight down, actually slightly down and inward being how top heavy I appear without clothes on. That's it, no more. Sure, I was trying to do something good to keep me fit and possibly keep me having a good attitude, and figured, okay so I may lose some pounds but once back on the hormones I'll gain it all back no problem. Problem is, my body looks like a man's when undressed, even my boobs have shriveled up where before they had filled my bra cups completely, now hangs loose around me. I brushed it off, what could I do, had to get my ass to work.
So while working out housewares thoughts brought on by hopeless constantly ran through my mind, soon turned to plans of committing suicide later, and no matter how much I tried I just could not shake the idea out of my head. I cried off and on all morning, sometimes even having to stop and sit down in the isle as I tried to gather my bearings, pull myself together so I could keep working and so no one would see me upset like this (I'm pretty sure no one did, though this one couple asking where something was did I think notice that my eyes were all red and glassy looking, by the way they looked at me and thanked me, like oh, poor girl, I wonder what's wrong, that kind of thing). Last two hours I was fine, as in not a whimpering mess anymore, so got most of what I had to do done (don't go back until Friday).
Home now, washed up real quick, and with suicide out for the moment, even though still very much emotional, I made some calls. Called several places, one used to take transgender for HRT, doesn't at this time being the one that specializes with that isn't available as much because of family issues and that their waiting list is very long. But the guy on the phone when I asked did give me another place that I could try, so I immediately called that one next. Okay, so this other place does take transgender for HRT, but rates are high as all of them are, initial visit $280 plus lab work for $370 total (that's cheap, the only other two cost a little more), then 2 months after that he'll want to see me again for $250 total ($160 for appointment plus lab), each time thereafter visits are extended by two months more. I don't know how I'm going to be able to do this. Only plus is they aren't hiding any information from me unlike the other two that I called that would also take me for HRT.
I'm still feeling suicidal, but knowing my past when I'd been down this same road before, I figure the most I'll do is hurt myself really bad. Thinking something because you're upset doesn't always translate into actually being able to fulfill those thoughts. I got a headache that won't go away, and I'm very jittery, just feel totally wiped right now. If only I had the strength to die...

Please don't go there, this is a temporary setback and you want to address it like that? C'mon baby doll lets get it together, there is a lot more to life than what you're currently experiencing, what about your mom and snickers and people here who care for you?

Yeah, I do have some very strong anchors keeping me from drifting away.
So, today not much at first, but a little while ago I played with my dog. I had me a new idea for something different to play, skeet shooting (kind of) kind of like in Duck Hunt, inspired the day we played Warlords. So, the object of this game, using 10 tennis balls (those will be my bullets, my throwing arm the gun) to try to hit 10 targets (stuffed animals and such, though later I swap those out for Poptart boxes) tossed one at a time through the air (towards our entrance door). I'd love to had made it more challenging launching two plush at once but not enough room and I don't want to break anything, as it is mom don't like us having this kind of fun because we tend to get carried away with ourselves.
So, recording this, started out with some of the bigger easier targets working down to the smallest, each were tossed with a ball immediately following to try to hit it before it lands. I didn't do very well, okay, actually I sucked. Eh, camera's in the wrong place anyway, lets move it. Hmm, okay best I can do, afterall this is mostly for my (and Snickers) own amusement. Gave it another round, did worst this time. Okay Snickers, lets try something else. Putting the plush aside went to the kitchen to retrieve those Poptart boxes I had used for the Warlords game the other day, falling short a couple, oh well, what I have will have to do. Oh, okay, see this is more like it! But I still suck. Snickers really enjoyed herself but was panting really hard and I figure this was good enough for now. We'll play again later okay me doggie. Take a break.
http://youtu.be/ckrZ08HnhrU
We did play again but without the target element, I think what she really liked about that game was just that I was throwing the balls really hard, so I did that again for her for a little bit.

Been having some really bad anxiety today, a little bit of tears but slept them off in the rocking chair for a little bit and my mom woke me when she was done using the internet. I awoke feeling weakened and a bit sickly, dreaming nice dreams that when I awoke reality took that all away from me.
I spent the early part of the afternoon looking up and calling more endocrinologists, 7 of them, no luck, none taking transgender for HRT except one did say that she thought one of the endos might, but that doctor wasn't in today and for me to try back tomorrow. Okay, so will do. One told me to try an OBGYN. Huh? But aren't they just for female related only? I still have male parts. Maybe they didn't understand what a transsexual was. Maybe there's something I don't know. Oh, actually there was another that said they would, lady told me $700. Huh?! What?! Are you nuts?! Not sure what that included but I wasn't about to go there with details, that cost alone told me everything. Phone needed recharging, and I needed a break, and looks like I done tried every endo in my area listed on Google Maps, I think I'm going to have to expand and go out further.
My dog was sitting under me whining, with a ball beside her. Okay, sorry little girl, I just had some things to do, we'll play now. So we played, but only for a little bit. Started out playing basketball with the tennis balls, that doesn't quite work, too much in my favor. Then we switched over to soccer, okay, this is more like it. So I used our entrance doorway area as the goal, and I had to try to kick the ball into that are while Snickers tried to block me, she caught pretty quickly and used her paws to tackle the ball. Then we sat down for some tender quality time (petting, hugs, kisses, all that good stuff), after that a very short walk (too hot outside).
Anxiety hasn't diminished at all, also the glands on the sides of my throat are a little swollen, and I just feel so tired today.
Played with my dog for a while, if you watch, beware, lots of squeaking going on in this one. This is what happens when children play and there aren't any adults around to drive crazy. :D
http://youtu.be/TKp5-GdIPEU
I think I'm getting sick, glands, particularly left side of my neck still swollen and uncomfortable, plus now left ear is bothering me, and I've had a tight pressure on my forehead all day. Great, that's all I need. Urgh. Maybe if I'm lucky it'll pass really quick.

Spoke to my friend on a phone at work
Ate a popsicle

Okay, so I wasn't getting sick, that's a relief. Nope, tooth started hurting later in the evening last night, ah, no wonder I was feeling ill and my glands were swollen, uh, damn teeth. A tooth should not keep hanging on if its all rotted, it simply doesn't make any sense, its not that damn important, there's still plenty more. Why can't we be like sharks?
Made a few calls this morning, no more endos in my immediate area, so with a suggestion from a friend I tried some OB/GYN's. I had doubts, but I wouldn't hurt to call. One told me, we would be able to take you for hormones, but you have to have a vagina, because we can't see men here. Okay, that did it. Waterworks came, hit me hard after I got off the phone. Yep, that's all I needed, to reconfirm that I am not a woman. I upset my mom, she doesn't now what to do, how to help me because she's in a sorry ass boat alongside me. I know I sounded like such a sad case, so utterly crushed. I'm not a woman, I don't have a vagina, will I ever!? Took me a bit to recover from that blow I tell you.
Went to work for early afternoon since the truck was coming in late. Worked out some vases and frames for a bit then went to help with getting the trash out. Today was just nasty, worst day yet for working freight unload, sun was shining into the dock the whole time and it just totally drains me, wiped me out. I was a working zombie, legs hardly strong enough to stand never mind walk, arms that after dealing with the heavy load of water we unloaded first, made even lifting light things feel like a ton. I drank a lot, went through several bottles of water, but my throat and mouth were dry that when I did any talking, ugh, well it didn't come out female sounding, at least not completely, that my manager I noticed looked at me kind of odd, I just said my throat was dry, which is was, and tried to clear my throat and got another drink. Oh well, if I had a cold or something I wouldn't sound too appealing anyway, so ->-bleeped-<- it. By the end of the unload I was dragging, as it was I wasn't sure if I could finish, never had I been wiped out so bad as today. The young assistant manager dude that kinda likes me saw how beat I was, I told him, I need to find another job, a sit down one or something, this is really killing me. He gave me a hug, I hugged back...hey I needed it. My boss lady was also there, she was supposed to be gone I thought, but she saw me and asked what was wrong, uh, I'm totally worn out I reply. She asked how come. Its just way too hot. This woman is like the Energizer Bunny, she just keeps going and going. As it was when back there with the old manager fellow unloading the waters, we took turns on lifting, and I mentioned how if boss lady were back there she'd be moving them like they were nothing, he agreed and pointed to another palette of water saying she did all that herself the other day.
I hate Texas. The cold can be bad, but at least you can bundle up. There's only so much you can do with the heat, especially at work. Now at home I'll just shut the blinds and strip down to my underwear, but when out there, all I can do is sweat and have my clothes sticking to me, ugh, I need a shower. And I don't like the feeling of sickness that heat brings, too much and its nauseating. I'm missing winter already.
Got home after 7pm, showered, ate, just been sitting here at my laptop, partly typing up replies to messages, partly in a daze.

I finally got my Pelican Hardigg Storm IM2050 Case and all my TSA approved locks so I can go on my trip. I was worried for a bit there. Now I shouldn't have any "lock" issues that hold me up. It fits my PK380, a magazine and 50 rounds perfectly.

I then found my cellphone! It was being tricky because it's camouflaged! I cannot really take a picture of it so I have to use a stock photograph, but it's so in trouble!

Dressed up as a bunny and danced for a child's birthday party at my job
Still waiting on those pictures Malachite. :P lol.
Let's see, today I:
- Woke up to a call from Rainbow Brite and was happy to talk with her, even for a short time.
- Threw out a ton of recycling I'd be hoarding in my room.
- Put some of my brother's unwanted clothes in a donation bag.
- Watched an episode of Extreme Cheapskates.
- Played Candy Crush.
- Mowed the lawn.
- Pumped up the tires on my bike in preparation for practicing riding to work tomorrow.
- Showered all the bug spray off.
- Watched some random clips from TV shows.
Truthfully I had other things I needed to accomplish. :( Should have done them instead of playing CC.

Ran around frantically for about nine hours and then came home to contemplate whether to put my cat to sleep. It has not been a very nice day for me.

Well, I thought I was going to have a relaxing evening, was going to reply to some messages, post what I had done today, but my boss called, told me that one of the cashiers called out, he's alone there, only I picked up (actually my mom did, thought it was her other daughter calling), so was hoping I'd come in so there'd be someone else there with him (no one is allowed to be in the store alone). Ugh, I am so friggin' tired, I did not want to have to go back in, I already worked earlier, I just got off of work and hour and a half ago. Okay, you'll have to fend the store on your own for a little bit, I'll be in before 6. I'm falling behind on HBC anyway, so it'll give me a good jump on getting it done. Plus, more hours, need that money, as mom and I just signed our lease renewal a little while ago right after we got home after she picked me up from work, rent went up quite a bit. Oh, well, I got tomorrow off, and I won't be answering any phones.
I think they should just give me everyone's hours, I'd be worn out but at least I'd be there when I'm supposed to be.
Ah hell, too tired to put much. Went back to work for a total of 9 and half hours today, 155 cases worked out total, walking around in a daze by the end of the night, got home, took a shower, helped mom with the laundry, done by midnight. Ate dinner (mish-mash of left overs), eating bowl of ice cream with fruit that I was supposed to have for lunch but wasn't able to, so just finishing up my desert now. Replying to emails and PMs, still having that starry-eyed look but not ready to go to sleep just yet.

Made pasta for lunched today so my mom would have her stomach filled with something good before she went to work, it was good.
After she left Snickers and I played for a little bit. I attempted another new game with her, Pool. Yeah, one of my wild ideas of converting a sport into something that a dog can get involved in. I cleared the living floor, placed 6 plastic bowls around to represent the pockets. put the 10 tennis balls we have into a tight triangle in the center, but not having any more balls used a orange for the one I'd use to hit all the other ones. The object would be for me to roll this orange (since I didn't have a stick to jab it with, besides, don't want juice all over the place) and try to hit each of the other balls into any of the pockets while my dog tried to stop me (throwing an obstacle or enemy into the standard game to give it that video game like feel). First problem, no boundary walls to keep the balls in the field and no being able to ricochet them. The other, I'm using a damn orange, do I actually expect this to work? The other, my dog, you cannot play pool with a dog dingbat! But I'm open to anything that harmlessly fun, lets give it a shot. So we get started, oops, totally missed hitting anything, damn I suck with my aim! Okay, lets do this, for real this time. Dog intercepted the orange, didn't hit any of the balls, but she ran them over a little and shuffled them around a teeny bit. Working from another direction, approximately where the orange stopped I roll again, and again, ooh, I got one in! But by this point I got myself laughing too much at the absurdity of this whole idea. Okay, this totally doesn't work. It was funny while it lasted.
I tried basketball with my dog before, that didn't work, since for one the basket that I used has a bottom to it so any balls the bounced in also bounced back out again. The other, unless I bounced them, throwing them gave me complete advantage over my dog who wouldn't be able to jump up to catch them before them landing (and bouncing back out) in the basket. The only way she won is because I suck at aiming them in. The other game we played was soccer, the entrance doorway area being the goal, I had to kick the tennis balls into that area with Snickers trying to block me, that actually works fine. But this pool idea totally bonkers. I want to play bowling with her too, will be using water bottles as pins, but need to get some more bottled water to be able to play this game. Anway, I had a good laugh from my game of pool today. :laugh:
http://youtu.be/Sjclt4MOGoE
After that I made a recording showing all of my cross-stitches off, only problem, its almost 2 hours long! Okay, I didn't realize that much time passed, I figured maybe an hour or a little passed. I did way too much talking, voice caught hell near the end. I won't be posting that. But I just needed to see how it'd turn out, maybe I can edit, revise it somehow. Eh, comes out like crap anyway, need a better camera for recording video and something like this needs to be done in sections, not one long ass movie.
Dog needs to go out, better take her for a walk.

I came out to my brother, who took the news fairly well.
Parents were watching the World Cup so they sent me off to do laundry.
I started to finally play MapleStory and leveled up two characters.

Yesterday was sunday, and today I pretended that monday is also sunday. I've spent the day almost entirely on the internet. I still have to shower and go run some errands, but afterwards I intend to go back to my pajamas and my computer.
As long as I take care of my kid and my cat and my plants and nothing scary happens, I'm super happy with my situation.
She is playing Animal Crossing: New Leaf. She spent most of her life refusing to use electronics so I don't care if she plays all day. Her knowledge of that and pokemon has fueled the most normal social interactions I've ever seen her manage with other people. Also, as long as she is using her DS she isn't hitting anyone or screaming or eating marbles or whatever.
My cat has been watching the crows outside, and keeping an eye on the neighbors' cats. He's the mayor of the back porch. He's not actually allowed to go out there without me, but still.

So, had a rough day today. Started out seemingly fine, work went okay, worked out housewares. But even while working I had a lot on my mind, thinking mostly about my job or what I could do to better myself to make more. Got home, took a shower, epilated the hair that was already growing back on my legs all too soon after I had done this just a few days ago. Then what little bit I had on my stomach area, then notice something new, more than a few already long thick black hairs had appeared on my chest, or should I say my breasts, totally ruining what pretty there was to that area. I expected this, knew it would happen as it had before when off of the hormones, so shrugged it off and pulled those out as well. But, my mood was affected from that point on, started on a downward spiral, and pretty quickly at that.
Had just gotten on the internet and feeling very hopeless about everything, I suddenly didn't even want to do anything, I didn't want to talk to anyone, and just wanted to curl up on the floor and die. My mood got worst. I read a few messages, made a reply or two (I can't even remember to what), then feelings of self-destruction came over me. I started deleting myself, first my videos on Youtube, next my pictures on Picasa, after that would have been every account I had on the internet as I wanted to purge myself of existence. At one point I got so scared I'd do something to destroy myself I had looked over at our cell phone and thought about calling for help, but then figured, why bother, not like anyone would care, they'd just be doing their job is all. And I couldn't see me calling anyone else because seriously when I get like this I'm hoping to have the strength to end it, which was the point of the deletion process. I had done this several times before in the past, and each of those times is because of the same ordeal that I'll going through now, my female self would never hurt herself so much, she wants to live, I don't (I don't feel like her anymore).
I took my dog out after the video and photo deletions, then once I came home went to sleep. I had thought about cross-stitching again but was under enough mental stress, I didn't need to add to it, probably wouldn't just gotten frustrated over a simple little thing such as knot or something and torn my work to shreds. Woke up a couple hours later, felt very sick, weak, mentally and physically. I didn't even play with my dog today, barely even shown her any attention other than our walk. Mom came home shortly after I got up, we talked, she told me how her evening was at work, I told her I had a bad day and how it was, she gave me a hug and told me that she loves me even with all my problems, that I'm the daughter she should have had, actually I am but I knew what she meant. Another thing that has been bothering me, while I'm not feeling very beautiful at all, I'm getting told that I am, and actually a lot, probably too much being my current mental state, today it hit me that it actually grated on my nerves, just pissed me off all the more, because I wanted to hate myself, that self-destructive male part of me that I hate so much wanted others to as well, but instead they don't and I wanted a reason to not go on. Why do people seem to like me when I hate me so much? I don't. But I felt this way today.
I signed out of Susan's this afternoon before going to sleep, wasn't going to come back, wasn't even going to answer any emails if I got any, but later I got on the internet, went to my gmail, or so I thought, looked at a reply from a friend, contemplated answering, but didn't, but then went to go back and read it again but it wasn't there. Huh? Then I realized I didn't see it in my gmail, I had logged back into Susan's automatically out of habit without even realizing it. Sure enough, yep, just signed back in a few minutes ago and yep, there it was. Thank you my new friend for your understanding when I last replied and tried to brush you off, that you didn't take it to heart and hate me for it, means a lot to me. You really rewrote that PM four times? Well, just so you know, your time wasn't wasted. Okay, so its after 1:30 in the morning now, and I have recovered, temporary yes, but enough to keep me going for one more day. Sorry I was a bitch if I was.
I have to keep this daily log going on here because if I don't then I won't write anything, won't care, and won't have anything to look back on when times are better so I can see how far I'd come and that I did have the strength afterall to make it. 'Megan' means "strong, mighty, or able", sure I given myself that name, but it was put in my mind for a reason, may I live up it.

Okay, started the day like any other work day, so skipping past the unnecessary same ol' details of the morning, getting straight to work. Today, asked boss lady what she'd like me to work on, as I was thinking of working out stationary because it still had yet to be touched, but she told me to work crafts (vases, frames and candles), but there wasn't much there, not really so I didn't understand why that. But looking at what was left for housewares and HBC, she added those to the list, but to start with HBC and get all that done and whatever time I had left go to the other sections. I knew already I wouldn't have any time to do anything else, while I did knock out much of it days before I still had a lot, and much of that were things that had to be unwrapped from plastic, so tedious and slow. I got everything on a u-boat that I knew for sure I could put out then went to it.
First thing I pick up off the u-boat when getting out to my isle was a case of bodywash, opened it up, started to remove them, putting several in the emtpy space I made on the shelf, but noticing what looked like icky stuff on the bottoms of them, thought it was dried up goo from a leaky one (figured I'd find it soon enough). I pull out another one from the box...WTF! Wait a moment, not good enough...WTF!!!!! Maggots!? Huh? Eeew! Gross! A huge pile of white squirmy things were all at the bottom center of the box. Then I went to grab the ones I put on the shelf to put them back in the box and my hand brushes against more that must've fallen off of the bottom of the bodywash bottles and were crawling around on the shelf. Okay, I think the boss should see this. So I go around to the next isle where she was working on the pet supplies and being that there was a customer in my isle I just calmly whispered to her that I opened up a box of bodywash and there are maggots all in there. She's like, What!?
So she comes back around with me and sees the big pile that had spread out across the carpet and totally grossed out storms over and grabs some roach & ant killer spray. I tell her, I won't be able to handle it if you use that. She said I didn't have to, that she would. And even with customer standing there, she starts spraying all over the place, the box with the product, not really getting the critters at the bottom, just the tops of the bodywashes, and then the floor around it. I had to back up into the receiving area the poisonous vapors were too strong. Customer just continued to shop, didn't seem to bother her at all. So once the air was somewhat clear I rush out passed that isle via another and grab my u-boat hauling it to the front HBC isle to start working there instead. Then I discover more of these crawlies on top of another box, left overs apparently from the one they'd come from. So I take a closer look. Oh, these aren't maggots, they're termites! Silly me. Duh, cardboard, chemical product, not food, why would they be fly larvae. So I tell my boss. Yeah, from quick glance and not close enough, these little white bugs appeared to be squirming around, but in fact have legs and jaws and were eating the cardboard.
So we went to the back and just as I thought once I knew what they were, yep, all over the wooden palette as well. Boss lady took care of the box bringing that out back outside, I lifted up the palette and dragged that out so they don't decide to set up house in any of the other ones. Then went back to working. Of coarse now the carpet where I would soon need to go back to put out other stuff now has pesticide all over it, wonderful. I made a mistake not taking a closer look at first and going to her because she overreacted spraying like that, but anyway, don't need a termite infestation in the building either. Bad enough we got beetles crushed everywhere when we suddenly had an invasion from them a few weeks ago, damn things stink too. Anyway, so I continued to work, but at one point my boss calls me to the back, she had the back door opened and asked me if I could get some paper towels and the spic 'n span, okay, I knew what she was going to do. I thought at first when she sprayed down the merchandise that what a waste, but yep, just as I thought, she was going to clean them off now. O-kay. Not my doing. After she came back in with the batch of cleaned off bodywashes, gave them to me to put out. Eh, I think, I think I'll wait until I get to the perfume and am wearing gloves for this, I can't trust they're cleaned off well enough. As I said earlier, mistake that I even mentioned it to her, bosses sometimes go too far with how they do things. This is a hair and body cleaning product, granted maybe no pesticide got inside, but I wouldn't want to take my chances, I guess I'm just paranoid, didn't help that I had vertigo years ago and since have a fear of most chemicals, especially ones made to kill. This goes to show, never know what you are buying, what its been exposed to before you get it.
It still amazes me how pesticide happy so many people are, back when I worked as a cashier at my last job in North Carolina one time one of the stock guys was up front and a wasp came in and started flying around him, he freaked and grabbed bug spray and started spraying it everywhere in the air, and get this, the only person that moved away was me. But did he get the wasp, nope, it flew away somewhere. Only thing he got was himself standing amidst the vapor cloud and any other people, working and customers nearby oblivious to the toxicity they were inhaling. Another time while working there I was put on a register closer to the service desk and suddenly one of the ladies started spraying the air without giving me a warning, just over one lousy fly, I moved quickly but got a large gulp of the air, started coughing and wheezing right away. Went to the restroom to wash my face and eyes and still coughing up what I inhaled, even rinsed my hair. My eyes were all red and messed up the rest of the night, and made sure to give her dirty looks for trying to kill me because I didn't get any apologies or anything. I always tell people, there are other poisonous things that aren't quite as deadly that could be used, spray with any strong household cleaner, it'll do the job pretty well too because insects unlike us rely on breathing through pores along their body, those get blocked and they'll eventually suffocate.
Not much else noteworthy happened today, crazy customers as it picked up after lunch time, I couldn't wait to get out of there. After work I picked up a few things we needed (aluminum foil, some pans so I can make pork chops or chicken in the oven later, another pair of gloves for work since mine had holes now in almost all of the fingertips) with the last little bit of money I had, got less than a dollar left to me until Friday. Got home, showered, grabbed my thawing bowl of fruit out of the fridge that I didn't have time to eat for breakfast (my dog is such a pain in the morning, takes too long with doing her business outside), sat down and ate that while answering messages here. Took dog out, played with her for a little bit, sat down, turned on Berryz Koubou playlist on Youtube (I hadn't listened to any music at all for over a week, so its good that I am, fun stuff to listen to keeps me feeling good even when not), typed up this entry.
My apartment complex is renovating the building exteriors, they just started our building today, will probably be at it for a week and a half or two. New siding, as well as replacing any old rotted wood underneath and any balconies that are lopsided, what this means, next year we probably won't be able to afford living here anymore, at least the minimum wage will have gone up by then, not that it'll do much good. At least they're finally doing something, place was starting to really look run down. Hope they fill in that big gap at ground level, I'm sure once the siding is off it'll be easily seen and into our apartment. Oh, added note, there were two guys on our porch this afternoon, Snickers wasn't too comfortable with that, she barked at them and I saw they one of them was trying to say something to me, so I opened the sliding glass door to hear what he was saying, he asked if my dog was going to go Cujo on him and break through the glass. Hahaha. :laugh: Good one. This little thing, nah, just protecting her home and me.
Oh, suddenly remember, last week my mom hollers out to me, Meg, what is this! Looks like a worm! I come out from the kitchen where I was and into the living room and see this dark slim long thing crawling across the carpet. I get down close to examine it, huh? Looks like a really large millipede. I watched it appearing to crawl slowly along in a wide 'S' path, still can't tell really what it is. I was trying to see if it had legs or antennae, the body looks segmented but couldn't tell because it didn't sit still and was so slim, and only like maybe two of my fingers long (5-6 inches perhaps at most). Then I blocked it with my hand to keep it from getting away, and the way it curled up my mom said Meg, I think that's a snake! Watch out, in case it tries to bite you. Yeah, now I see it, the scales and the small tapering triangular head. It was trying to get away from my hand and crawl down into the carpet threads. I told my mom to get me a tall glass so I can capture it and bring it outside because it was squirming around a lot now. She comes back with a small glass. Oh, come on mom, a large glass! They're all dirty. Uh, I don't think the snake is going to care if its not washed. Too late, it escaped my clutches, I lost sight of it in our too dim apartment lighting, lost within the meadow of carpet threads. Never did see it again, maybe it found its way out via that crack running along the edge of our floor to the outside or perhaps it'll feed itself off of whatever ants we have, and a later time we see it, it'll have grown big enough to eat us! :o Oh noes! Hahaha :D
If anyone can tell from reading this post, I'm feeling okay today. This is where friends play a big part in my life, thank you. :)
First thing I pick up off the u-boat when getting out to my isle was a case of bodywash, opened it up, started to remove them, putting several in the emtpy space I made on the shelf, but noticing what looked like icky stuff on the bottoms of them, thought it was dried up goo from a leaky one (figured I'd find it soon enough). I pull out another one from the box...WTF! Wait a moment, not good enough...WTF!!!!! Maggots!? Huh? Eeew! Gross! A huge pile of white squirmy things were all at the bottom center of the box. Then I went to grab the ones I put on the shelf to put them back in the box and my hand brushes against more that must've fallen off of the bottom of the bodywash bottles and were crawling around on the shelf. Okay, I think the boss should see this. So I go around to the next isle where she was working on the pet supplies and being that there was a customer in my isle I just calmly whispered to her that I opened up a box of bodywash and there are maggots all in there. She's like, What!?
So she comes back around with me and sees the big pile that had spread out across the carpet and totally grossed out storms over and grabs some roach & ant killer spray. I tell her, I won't be able to handle it if you use that. She said I didn't have to, that she would. And even with customer standing there, she starts spraying all over the place, the box with the product, not really getting the critters at the bottom, just the tops of the bodywashes, and then the floor around it. I had to back up into the receiving area the poisonous vapors were too strong. Customer just continued to shop, didn't seem to bother her at all. So once the air was somewhat clear I rush out passed that isle via another and grab my u-boat hauling it to the front HBC isle to start working there instead. Then I discover more of these crawlies on top of another box, left overs apparently from the one they'd come from. So I take a closer look. Oh, these aren't maggots, they're termites! Silly me. Duh, cardboard, chemical product, not food, why would they be fly larvae. So I tell my boss. Yeah, from quick glance and not close enough, these little white bugs appeared to be squirming around, but in fact have legs and jaws and were eating the cardboard.
So we went to the back and just as I thought once I knew what they were, yep, all over the wooden palette as well. Boss lady took care of the box bringing that out back outside, I lifted up the palette and dragged that out so they don't decide to set up house in any of the other ones. Then went back to working. Of coarse now the carpet where I would soon need to go back to put out other stuff now has pesticide all over it, wonderful. I made a mistake not taking a closer look at first and going to her because she overreacted spraying like that, but anyway, don't need a termite infestation in the building either. Bad enough we got beetles crushed everywhere when we suddenly had an invasion from them a few weeks ago, damn things stink too. Anyway, so I continued to work, but at one point my boss calls me to the back, she had the back door opened and asked me if I could get some paper towels and the spic 'n span, okay, I knew what she was going to do. I thought at first when she sprayed down the merchandise that what a waste, but yep, just as I thought, she was going to clean them off now. O-kay. Not my doing. After she came back in with the batch of cleaned off bodywashes, gave them to me to put out. Eh, I think, I think I'll wait until I get to the perfume and am wearing gloves for this, I can't trust they're cleaned off well enough. As I said earlier, mistake that I even mentioned it to her, bosses sometimes go too far with how they do things. This is a hair and body cleaning product, granted maybe no pesticide got inside, but I wouldn't want to take my chances, I guess I'm just paranoid, didn't help that I had vertigo years ago and since have a fear of most chemicals, especially ones made to kill. This goes to show, never know what you are buying, what its been exposed to before you get it.
It still amazes me how pesticide happy so many people are, back when I worked as a cashier at my last job in North Carolina one time one of the stock guys was up front and a wasp came in and started flying around him, he freaked and grabbed bug spray and started spraying it everywhere in the air, and get this, the only person that moved away was me. But did he get the wasp, nope, it flew away somewhere. Only thing he got was himself standing amidst the vapor cloud and any other people, working and customers nearby oblivious to the toxicity they were inhaling. Another time while working there I was put on a register closer to the service desk and suddenly one of the ladies started spraying the air without giving me a warning, just over one lousy fly, I moved quickly but got a large gulp of the air, started coughing and wheezing right away. Went to the restroom to wash my face and eyes and still coughing up what I inhaled, even rinsed my hair. My eyes were all red and messed up the rest of the night, and made sure to give her dirty looks for trying to kill me because I didn't get any apologies or anything. I always tell people, there are other poisonous things that aren't quite as deadly that could be used, spray with any strong household cleaner, it'll do the job pretty well too because insects unlike us rely on breathing through pores along their body, those get blocked and they'll eventually suffocate.
Not much else noteworthy happened today, crazy customers as it picked up after lunch time, I couldn't wait to get out of there. After work I picked up a few things we needed (aluminum foil, some pans so I can make pork chops or chicken in the oven later, another pair of gloves for work since mine had holes now in almost all of the fingertips) with the last little bit of money I had, got less than a dollar left to me until Friday.

Somehow I got the wrong picture with that, uh, yeah, that 'thing' getting big enough to eat me. Oh no! Please stop growing! I go to cut it off, but then its like the size of a sandworm from Dune, turns on me and eats me. Whew, what an erotic nightmare.

Well, I made it to work just before it started to rain heavily this morning, 10 minutes later and I would have looked and felt like a sponge. Yeah, I kind of jumped past the whole getting up and getting ready, but nothing different our interesting there.
Worked out various departments today, just trying to cut down on everything as much as possible in the back to prepare for inventory on Friday. Nothing exciting worth talking about. Oh, wait, very end of the day, 15 minutes left before its time for me to leave, old lady, a frequent customer, pops her head into receiving and asks me if the boss lady is in. No, she's not here today. Then she asks me if we had any full cases of the large laundry detergent back there. I take a quick look, yeah, 8 cases (8 things of detergent in each). Okay, we'll take 4 of them. Then I see her husband. Ugh, I hate that old bastard. So I load up a u-boat with the 4 cases and bring them up front where they waited by the register to check out. They also bought a ton of toothpaste. I take it they are resellers, by the stuff cheap then jack up the price elsewhere. After finishing check out, the husband leads me out to their vehicle, opens the truck area and tells me to put them in stacked 2 high side by side. Giving out orders to me as usual. I tell him, give me a moment, this isn't easy for me. So I struggle to lift and put them each into the back, while he just stands there watching. Once I get them all in the wife comes up and thanks me. No problem. I wheel the u-boat back inside, time to get the hell out of here.
I get to receiving and the old boss man is back there loading or unload a u-boat, I say to him how much I hate that old bastard (he don't like the guy either), he's so damn arrogant, comes in here all the time and every time, always barking out what he wants expecting full service like he's someone important (so they know my boss lady by name, so what), and here I was struggling and he didn't even think to help (far from a gentleman, should have at least helped), nope (never does), just told me what he wanted me to do and stood there. What kind of man, I don't care that its my job, stands there making a girl do all the work, heavy lifting (those cases weigh a third of my weight) that he's fully capable of doing himself (he's gotta unload it later after all, but then again, probably has someone waiting to do it for him then too). No, he's obviously used to people waiting on him hand and foot. He's the kind that if you didn't satisfy his needs he'd probably go out of his way to get you fired. Urgh, I so much wanted to say something to that lazy rich ->-bleeped-<-, but as suck ass as my job is, I need it. After that brief venting I shrugged it off and got the heck out of there. I'm free! So, have the day off tomorrow, don't know yet what I'm going to do with it, then back on Friday for truck unload after inventory has been completed.
Got home, guys were tearing apart the balcony above us as well as part of our porch, so much wood rot underneath the old weather worn siding. I could hear Snickers barking her head off inside before I was even 50 feet from the apartment (she's got a nice loud bark). Yep, she's going crazy not understanding who these men are on our patio and all that banging, thinking they are trying to invade, protecting her home. Good girl. But, hey, hey, calm down, that's enough barking, see, they're okay, not going to hurt us, just doing their job. Took a shower, got into a dress, made a tomato sandwich (all out of meat, but that's fine, it still tasted good), got on the internet to relist my cross-stitches since none of them sold. Listed 10 of them out of the 40 I had up before, then with the next one noticed how they tried to sneak in some relisting fees, oh no you don't. So I had to stop. Okay, so the limit is 50 per month, well, that sucks. Going to have to find another way to do this. Tried Etsy lst year, 3 month listings but fees up front, I wasted money last time, not doing that again. Ugh. Sigh. Dog still barking without a breath. Okay, that's enough, lets go take a walk, we forgot to throw the trash out this morning, but only a short walk, too damn hot out there. Played with her for a short bit bouncing balls around the room then sat down to the internet, listening to music, typing this message, and uploading my photos again, all the ones I deleted the other day when I lost my head. Yeah, makes a lot sense, giving myself more work like that. Sometimes I think its needed though, gives me a fresh start.

Pretty good rant Megan, I don't blame you. Strange how a man would stand there and let a woman break her back loading heavy stuff like that! What an ass huh?
Long before I ever transitioned I was selling construction supplies and sold 40 sixty pound bags of concrete mix to a guy half my age and twice as big and muscular. He stood there and watched as I loaded the first five bags, finally I blew up at him and said, "You bought this sh*t but if you're going to just stand there like a jackass and watch me load it then lets go back inside and I'll refund your money!" I left him outside loading the rest by himself. That kind of stuff is infuriating! :icon_ballbounce:

Ugh. Awoke around 9 this morning to my dog barking, and soon lots of pounding on the walls outside, the guys have started working. Also, heartburn, really, really bad. Took something for it, it made it worst. Ate some Cheerios by themselves, still no good. Drank down a whole bottle of water, still there. Feel really nervous this morning too. I hate this feeling, throat feels like I have vomit in it, chest has both a burning and cold sensation, terrible. Could be the rocky road ice cream I had last night, possibly too much chocolate? Probably went to sleep too early after eating it. I hope it goes away soon, as bad as it is right now its a uneasy feeling. Gives me anxiety. Wonder if a bowl of fruit will make it worst or better?
My dog is on a rampage from the guys on our porch and near our door banging, ripping siding off.

I went for a consultation and test to see whether laser is suitable for me.
Given my black hair and pale skin it looks promising, stung a bit though XD

lets see, I took out the gas solenoid valve from the rv and piped it straight to avoid more problems, I hooked up the water pump on it and pressurized the lines, then cleaned the water heater gas burner, tested it, fixed a bad connection, tested it again to make sure it was fixed. Then took out the generator and moved the box for it to the center of the back porch and replaced a bad board on the back porch of the rv. Changed the oil in the generator and ran it for a while. Took the cover of the roof top ac and fixed the fan hitting the housing issue and then made sure all of it was working right. Now all that's left is a little brake work on it and fix the wires going to the level sensors for the black and gray water tanks. Then spray the underside of it with fluid film, but that last bit could be left til tomorrow.

Then took out the generator and moved the box for it to the center of the back porch and replaced a bad board on the back porch of the rv. Changed the oil in the generator and ran it for a while. Took the cover of the roof top ac and fixed the fan hitting the housing issue and then made sure all of it was working right. Now all that's left is a little brake work on it and fix the wires going to the level sensors for the black and gray water tanks. Then spray the underside of it with fluid film, but that last bit could be left til tomorrow.
Sounds like an aggressive work load, don't chip a nail hon! Got your coveralls on?

He's the one that owns the rv that I'm working on. He doesn't know much about it and doesn't seem to want to know. Its the same rv that I rebuilt the engine on a few years back and redid a lot of the electrical. Trying to get it beach ready for the year.

Got started in reading the book "Beyond Magenta" that my fellow FTM friend let me borrow. Should let my mother read it when I'm done.

So true. I never call a "professional" unless I really am in over my head, if the project requires a building permit or tools that won't fit in my garage.
I hate babysitting contractors with a passion. The fact is that I have a bit of a construction background and a garage stuffed with tools, and I'm not afraid to use them.
Today, so far, I've disassembled a vintage Fender Stratocaster (it's pink! ;D) and am about to sand all of the scratches the last owner put in the fingerboard, then polish it all up on a buffing wheel that I mounted to my drill press. I should be able to restore it to near mint condition and add at least a hundred dollars to the value of it. Maybe two hundred...

last week, I pretty much gave away two of my bikes, my '82 Yamaha 750 SECA, and the wife's 07 Yamaha 250 Virago. $500 ea.. the 750 needed the wiring harness put on (old one was pretty much butchered by prev. owner) and the 250, the wife dropped, damaged the transmission, broke a fork, cracked 2nd/3rd gear shaft, so it needed much work, but it looked new, only 1024 mi on it.. so that cleared out some room in the garage. Still got my '96 Ninja 600 tho (needs carbs mounted).. but that one, I will prob give away too. While I love riding, and there are a lot of girls who do, there are just waaay too many bikes being hit here, and sadly, few survive the encounters with cage drivers. Just more in a series of failed "play-th-part" attempts..
Spent a bunch of hours yesterday playing WoW/Starter my girl's named (wait for it)...
EstraDoll..
LOL, yeah, I thot it was hilarious too.
Been battling headaches last three days, cant tell if they're my low-grade migraines, or sinus, but my sumatriptan works just as well on both, so I don't really care anymore.
This morning, went to the bank, drew out cash to pay the remainder of the $4300 bill for replacing the engine on my truck, valued at $2800.. yeah, I'm crafty like that :/ Owners wife came to pick my up to come get it. Nice lady, wish I was her.. (oops, did I say that out loud?) Got in, started it up.. ran nice, rats, saw I had like.. 4oz of gas left.. CircleK station across the street, good thing, better have a short driveway or I'd be pushing that truck to the pump. While pumping the gas, saw.. WTH?? no lic plate.. Frack! Forgot I transferred it to the new car I bought in January.. Thinking I better drive cautiously so as not to run into, or have anyone run into me. Freeway.. yeah.. that'll be safer.. lots fewer cops. Now I have to call State Farm, and get it put back on the policy, get a copy emailed, print it, then go to DMV for a plate, Oh. Joy. Just the place I want to spend an entire day at (tomorrow). Division of Motor Vehicles, is a lot like Hell, just without the pleasant atmosphere. It is said, those who are bad, and die, are transformed into DMV workers.
-still- have this headache.. gotta do the hot compress on the sinuses, that works well, but only for abt 10mins. The Desert, is really dry.. The Moon has more moisture in it's air than here. Gotta drink more water too, got a cup of coffee left in the pot.. (hmmm, could it be caffeine headache?).
I have been alone the last three days, here in the house. My wife and daughter are back east, visiting, so I had the run of the house. Sadly, I only wore my yoga pants, and jeans, around the house. Couldn't bring myself to try any makeup either. I should have called one of my gf from work to experiment on me. Time to get the coffee, some more water, steam the sinuses, and go try WoW again.. If you see a dark blue haired girl running thru the forest, named EstroDoll, stop me and say hi, ok? Not sure which server I'm on (like I said, I just began playing, only a level 5 I think).
TTFN

I know not everyone has the time, maybe doesn't want to share in detail how they spent their day, but I do, and I did read your whole post Paula Christine, just so you know someone did. :)
So what else has happened for me today?
Well that darn heartburn still bothered me, not as bad, but still lingering. I ate a really big lunch of stuff thrown together, figure I give my stomach acids a reason to work. Went out with Snickers to check the mail, lots of junk, and a key to the larger package mailboxes, so I go around the other side, open the #2 box up, and sitting there like a Christmas present is something wonderful for me. Got back home with it immediately after Snickers did her business and cut open the package. Inside, a handful of boxes of Progynova tablets. Can't say where these came from (a much needed online order), but they're a godsend. :)
Took one, let it sit and dissolve in my mouth. Whoa! talk about a rush, hit me so fast and hard that it frightened me, I nearly spit it out, but didn't. It'll pass. I felt hot rushes through my body, head and chest particularly, nostrils burned too. Slight dizziness, tightening of the chest, and weakness in my limbs, arms most noticeably. It did pass, over an hour later posting this and I'm feeling fine, a little fuzziness that seems to be running through me, and skin feels thicker to the touch, probably just a change in sensation (I got this same feeling with the shots too whenever I got back on them from being off for a while), a tingling at the top of my head, nostrils still burn, but otherwise fine, I'm calm, relaxed, feel like me again. Arms still feel weak (like I just became girly), let me try doing those push-ups now (I tried, too weak to even do a single one). ;D So, I'm back on the hormones! :D
I still need to see an endo though, just to be on the safe side and then see where to go from there.

thanks, Megan, I've been keeping tabs on you also =) I haven't been in every day, but have stopped and read your posts.
'know you cant say the dose, but the Progynova.. starter/low dose, to get used to it? 'hope that reaction was just the initial, and the effects drop off as your body builds with it.
The heartburn.. I hope you're drinking enough water. I would lay off the chips, and def the chocolate in the evening. I get that same feeling if I put too much choc syrup on the ice cream, or (gasp) pop too many semi-sweet choc chips from the baking drawer! I'm as big a chocoholic as the next girl, but I really try to limit the intake in the evenings. Even trying to drink it with milk, or water.. choc late in the day doesn't agree with me that late in the day. Like everything, gotta eat better (pay no attention to that girl behind the curtain, she just finished a half-tub of Cool-Whip!) <-- Quiet, you! ;)
Hope you get to feelin' better

Heck, for all I know that was just anxiety from initial fear of taking something I hadn't taken before (I always took it in the ass before, this whole oral ordeal is new to me ;D), I had similar feelings when getting the injections sometimes because of my unease, queasiness with needles. Hopefully next time and times thereafter won't hit me so hard, body just has to get used to the estrogen again.
I found as the years have gone by that many things I used to eat and lots of, my body isn't handling them too well anymore. Eh, but all the better, just means its time to start eating better. ;) Ooh, found a Poptart hiding in the cupboard! And here I thought I was all out of junk food. ;D

..couple months ago, I discovered a couple bags of Halloween candy we thot we lost. Does anyone know what Exp Date means?
I hope that feeling was, as you said, just the excitement/anxiety of something new for you. Needles I don't mind so much.. I'd never be able to do my own tho, so I would not make a good diabetic.
(oh sure, after <-- she finished all the CoolWhip!)

Eh, candy is good for a long time. Just eat it, go ahead, mmm, yummy. >:-)
Only twice ever did I give my own injections, first time, many years ago, after I finished up and pulled the syringe needle out, blood sprayed across my bedroom carpet, I got really queasy I tell you. Second time a couple months ago, my last dose, couldn't wait for my mom to come home, I was really messed up because I had already waited a long time from the last shot, so did it myself, no spray of blood this time, but quite a bit oozed out and my ass/hip was bruised for over a week (I think I jabbed too hard).
Other than those two time, my mom always gives 'em to me, I prepare it all, give the syringe to her and she plays nurse (she don't like giving them either, always afraid she'll hurt me).
I keep thinking about that Poptart, wish I wouldn't have found it until tomorrow. :(

Okay, so got up this morning, was feeling a bit shaky, hormones I know needing replenishing.
8:35am
Took second pill this morning after showering, getting dressed, and plucking facial hair. Put it under my tongue as with the first, but this time no scary effects, it all came about more gradually, the feeling of calm near blissfulness, but no hot rushes, no weakening of the limbs or anything, I felt fine. Well, that's a relief. I felt pretty happy today, even looking at myself in the mirror, I looked great! Not seeing a man anymore. Amazing how that works, hormones ruling how one feels and perceives themselves.
Wasn't due to go to work until later in the afternoon so pretty much just surfed the internet much my time home this morning and early afternoon. And I felt fine. Went to work for 4pm, truck was scheduled to come in for 4:30 so I just found things here and there to work out--I hate having to come up with things to do, picking through scraps basically as there's not much left back there to work out. Over an hour passed, the old boss man tells me that the driver of the truck is at such and such location and won't be here for maybe an hour and something, probably longer due to traffic, so nothing really to do, how 'bout come in tomorrow morning, 7am fine? Sure. Beats having that afternoon/evening sun blazing down on me the whole time. So I only worked like an hour and fifteen minutes. I left the store, noticing the young assistant manager guy up front, I gave him a smile and quick wave. A moment later he follows me outside. Comments on what that smile was for, oh geez, he's such a flirt. Then asks me how I am and what I've been doing lately. Not much. Then asks about how I get such a fit figure, do you jog he asks. Nope. I work here. He acts surprised by this, maybe he was. Also I walk my dog. Then he goes on about how cute my dog is (they met one day when Snickers came with mom to pick me up, last week I think it was). A few more words, then off I went, home, still smiling as I was after taking that pill this morning.
Got home, mom was out, so it was just Snickers and I for a little bit. Sat down to the internet. Mom eventually came home, we exchanged goings on, I told her why I was home early, actually walked outside when she pulled up so that when she didn't walk into the apartment she wouldn't get startled seeing or hearing someone there, not realizing I was home. She had got two movies, rented from those Redbox machines (she used to all the time years ago), got a few treasures for herself from Goodwill and Salvation Army. Need to go grocery shopping but maybe later.
7:45pm
Okay, third pill. Let it dissolve under my tongue but started feeling unsteady, and weakening of arms and legs, but also throat felt tight, and had a moment when I tried started to say something to my mom that my tongue felt too tired to talk, so halfway dissolved I decided to swallow the rest. A few minutes later, still unsteady and weak, with a fuzziness and tingling in my head, more along the top rear of my skull, also started to get a cold sensation, ran along both arms and chest, that went away about a minute or so, but having a slight numbness in both arms, as well as my cheeks, particularly the right side. Normal response or bad reaction? I'm also very tired, have been since I got off of work earlier, 'shrugs'. I think I'll try swallowing only for the next one tomorrow morning.
Its been an hour and a half now, arms still weakish and a little numb, face still numb, gradually moved from lower cheek to cheekbone area, mostly right side, back of skull tight feeling. Could be anxiety symptoms, I do get them a lot, also have circulator problems so limbs and face getting numbing sensations isn't uncommon, just need to make notes for how I'm feeling and how I'm progressing with the hormones. Odd how I didn't get any big reactions with the second pill but once again did with this one.
Okay, mom wants to get to the store and back before the night is over, then we can come home and rest, watch a couple movies together.
Alright, 2 hours or so for that numbing sensation to go away. Mom and I went to H-E-B to get some food. I felt fine by then, actually did a little jig with my feet while in the store, so you know I was feeling good. $152 something, most we've spent yet in a week (we used to average around $114, but that was mostly TV dinners since those are about as cheap as you can get, but we got some more expensive stuff, this time (only junk I bought were chocolate Poptarts, gotta have something ;D), trying to eat healthier. I made sure to pick up some spearmint tea (suggested by Evelyn, thank you :) ) since its supposed to be helpful, having antiandrogenic properties. It was 11:30pm by the time we got home and got everything in the house (we almost always forgot to take bags with us and won't pay for any so I have to make a dozen or more trips back and forth while my mom puts things away). Since I need to get my butt up at least around 5:30am, I made sure to eat light, a small bowl of cereal (Peace Cereal - ancient grains blend) with soy milk, mmm, pretty good. Then brewed some tea. I dreaded this actually. I had tasted regular tea long ago in high school, yuck, hot water with a little bit of nasty flavoring, not my thing. But this here tea could be useful for my HRT, so going to give it a shot. Smells good, like spearmint gum, taste though, eh, maybe I could get used to it, I did regular soy milk. But I think maybe next time I'll chill it afterwards, should taste better cold, all water does. Hopefully it don't get me the ->-bleeped-<-s or something. Okay, this ends my day. Hopefully tomorrow after taking the pill I'll be fine, would like to have a good start to the day.
8:35am
Took second pill this morning after showering, getting dressed, and plucking facial hair. Put it under my tongue as with the first, but this time no scary effects, it all came about more gradually, the feeling of calm near blissfulness, but no hot rushes, no weakening of the limbs or anything, I felt fine. Well, that's a relief. I felt pretty happy today, even looking at myself in the mirror, I looked great! Not seeing a man anymore. Amazing how that works, hormones ruling how one feels and perceives themselves.
Wasn't due to go to work until later in the afternoon so pretty much just surfed the internet much my time home this morning and early afternoon. And I felt fine. Went to work for 4pm, truck was scheduled to come in for 4:30 so I just found things here and there to work out--I hate having to come up with things to do, picking through scraps basically as there's not much left back there to work out. Over an hour passed, the old boss man tells me that the driver of the truck is at such and such location and won't be here for maybe an hour and something, probably longer due to traffic, so nothing really to do, how 'bout come in tomorrow morning, 7am fine? Sure. Beats having that afternoon/evening sun blazing down on me the whole time. So I only worked like an hour and fifteen minutes. I left the store, noticing the young assistant manager guy up front, I gave him a smile and quick wave. A moment later he follows me outside. Comments on what that smile was for, oh geez, he's such a flirt. Then asks me how I am and what I've been doing lately. Not much. Then asks about how I get such a fit figure, do you jog he asks. Nope. I work here. He acts surprised by this, maybe he was. Also I walk my dog. Then he goes on about how cute my dog is (they met one day when Snickers came with mom to pick me up, last week I think it was). A few more words, then off I went, home, still smiling as I was after taking that pill this morning.
Got home, mom was out, so it was just Snickers and I for a little bit. Sat down to the internet. Mom eventually came home, we exchanged goings on, I told her why I was home early, actually walked outside when she pulled up so that when she didn't walk into the apartment she wouldn't get startled seeing or hearing someone there, not realizing I was home. She had got two movies, rented from those Redbox machines (she used to all the time years ago), got a few treasures for herself from Goodwill and Salvation Army. Need to go grocery shopping but maybe later.
7:45pm
Okay, third pill. Let it dissolve under my tongue but started feeling unsteady, and weakening of arms and legs, but also throat felt tight, and had a moment when I tried started to say something to my mom that my tongue felt too tired to talk, so halfway dissolved I decided to swallow the rest. A few minutes later, still unsteady and weak, with a fuzziness and tingling in my head, more along the top rear of my skull, also started to get a cold sensation, ran along both arms and chest, that went away about a minute or so, but having a slight numbness in both arms, as well as my cheeks, particularly the right side. Normal response or bad reaction? I'm also very tired, have been since I got off of work earlier, 'shrugs'. I think I'll try swallowing only for the next one tomorrow morning.
Its been an hour and a half now, arms still weakish and a little numb, face still numb, gradually moved from lower cheek to cheekbone area, mostly right side, back of skull tight feeling. Could be anxiety symptoms, I do get them a lot, also have circulator problems so limbs and face getting numbing sensations isn't uncommon, just need to make notes for how I'm feeling and how I'm progressing with the hormones. Odd how I didn't get any big reactions with the second pill but once again did with this one.
Okay, mom wants to get to the store and back before the night is over, then we can come home and rest, watch a couple movies together.
Alright, 2 hours or so for that numbing sensation to go away. Mom and I went to H-E-B to get some food. I felt fine by then, actually did a little jig with my feet while in the store, so you know I was feeling good. $152 something, most we've spent yet in a week (we used to average around $114, but that was mostly TV dinners since those are about as cheap as you can get, but we got some more expensive stuff, this time (only junk I bought were chocolate Poptarts, gotta have something ;D), trying to eat healthier.

Had to wake early this morning for work (5:30am), must've been in a real deep sleep when my alarm went off because I didn't hear it right away, yet I heard my mom call out to me to get up, I don't know if she really was or not, heck she didn't even remember saying anything to me, but it got me stirred enough to hear the alarm. Got ready for work.
6:15am
Fourth pill. Put it in my mouth, got some water, swallowed. Okay Snickers, lets go, see if you gotta do some business outside. Took my dog out for a walk. A few minutes okay. A few more, very, very slight numbing around the cheekbone on right side of face. More minutes pass, still ever so slight numbness there, but otherwise fine. Nearly a half hour later, still okay. Getting ready to get out the door to go to work.
Got to work just as boss lady was pulling up, so we got in at the same time, the old boss guy was there already prepping for the truck. I was hoping being so early and the sun not showing that it'd been an easier unload than last week with that hot afternoon sun, but nope, early morning was very humid, felt like a jungle, very hard to breath, quickly exhausted all strength. Got in a ton of 'Back to School' stuff - yeah, already, school just friggin' ended, but hey, had a few cartons of Thanksgiving come in too, now that is crazy. I never did fully recover from the heat, I felt weakened the rest of the time at work, plus lack of sleep, working slower than usual with my HBC section, oh well, I'm not a machine. Keep telling myself I need to do something else for work, this physical stuff just isn't as easy as it used to be for me, its like the longer I do it the harder it gets, but could be just the heat getting to me.
Clocked out, getting ready to walk out the doors, see my mom and Snickers waiting for me, yay, don't have to walk in this crap. Mom paid the rent and water earlier, brought Snickers with to come pick me up, but then had to get quarters for laundry later, so stopped off at the nearby grocery store leaving me and Snickers waiting outside. Got home, showered, got something to eat, then sat down with my mom to watch a movie she rented yesterday from Redbox, 'Escape Plan' with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone in it, good action prison movie, rarely ever do either of them fail to entertain. Later mom said we needed to go out and drop the movies off so they won't be late, plus pick up a few things from the Dollar Tree that we needed, so then put on my nice pretty blue dress that I had yet to wear anywhere, and dolled myself up super gorgeous, ready to go out, unfortunately it was a really windy day so I decided to save wearing it for another day than show off my than just my legs, afterall we're just going to the dollar store, not out any place nice. Oh, hit up HEB also, I needed hot dog buns, going to be having chili dogs for dinner.
Oh, a surprise I nearly forgot to create a paragraph for, while at Dollar Tree, mom and I were waiting in line and somehow with our connected brains we both were looking over at the balloons and were thinking the same thing, wouldn't Snickers love to have a balloon? I told her, go ahead, pick one out, she did, a red star shape one. I told her once home that I would go in first, turn on my laptop, start up the webcam and begin recording, then she'd come in after with a surprise for her little girl. She was surprised, and oh so smart, adorable and loud, yeah, that's my doggie. Oh, and my momma's in this one, I only get cameo and narratives.

6:50pm
Fifth pill (second for today). Took it, starting cooking dinner, and while I was feeling fine otherwise here comes that numbing pressing feeling again on my face, this time a little higher up on right cheekbone running along edge of the eye socket. I ignored it, continued cooking, ate dinner, but it still persisted, so then took Snickers out to use the bathroom, a few minutes out there and I started to have a strange tightening, twitching sensation along bottom edge and sides of my right eye, so I promptly brought Snickers home without her doing anything. If this is an anxiety symptom, I find it kind of odd that its the same place on my face, and very specific. But I feel really good, my mood has been much improved, not experiencing anything else like I had the first day I took it. Maybe I should just take one a day? Two might be too much?
I didn't get but 4 hours of sleep before I had to wake for work this morning so I had been really tired all day, stretching earlier helped wake me up a little bit but now, combined with the stress about the feeling on my face I had to lay down, take a short nap, so mom was in bed and told me to come lay down beside her, we could just talk. So we did. She was telling me about different things, I in turn about some of my friends on here, and at one point we were talking about my sister and I was getting all choked up over it, that she never accepted me and how so much I had wished that we could be sisters, so much we could've done together. Yeah, I was getting all emotional, a little teary-eyed, but this time not frustration over myself, nope this was my girly emotions emerging. Then my mom was telling me about one of my sister's sons, how he kind of has this girlfriend, though not really in that way, how it seems that he's a late bloomer (girls aren't really interesting him all that much right now), and I related that to how I was, heck my interest in anyone didn't hit until some months ago, how now that I'm getting older I'm wanting someone in my life to be close to, and actually liking the idea of intimacy, its like now, after all those years my sex drive just kicked in, not just the unwanted need to get off. She said that's how it is with women, men are at their peak early in life, women tend to be more so at around my age now. Guess that means I'm a woman. ;)
We didn't end up sleeping, but I guess even just laying down is rest enough, may as well get up and do something. We had laundry to do anyway. I got on the internet for a little bit, then helped her carry the clothes over. The weird numb feeling along my cheek was still there but not so much, mostly now with the bit of tears I shed earlier I had a headache. Decided to reupload some of my videos to Youtube again, plus a new one. Eating a bowl of fruit, headache's gone, cheek still feels weird, but I'm okay. :)
Oh, made a whole pot full of that spearmint tea late at night, enough to fill up a pitcher so I can have it readily available for drinking without going through some whole boiling and brewing process. Still taste bland and nasty, but its better cold. I suppose I could add something to sweeten it up, eh, no big deal, drink down a glass real quick, hope it plays a supportive role in my hormone therapy.

I am about 90% finished on my latest fanfic. I should have it wrapped up in the next few days. It's kind of funny since this one took me two months to write and the one before it was written in 18 hours over a three day period. But that one pretty much wrote itself. The new one was a bit different since this explored a relationship dynamic between two characters that were put together in only the last few months.

Mostly I read books and played video games, but we went for a walk around the neighborhood a bit to look for bugs and pet other peoples' cats. We're petsitting for a neighbor, so we also went over there a couple times to feed and play with their cat. I can't tell if it is a female or a neutered male, so we call it he or she interchangeably. It's super young and small, barely not a kitten anymore and it was really hyperactive. Coming home to my giant old man cat was actually kind of nice. I like how calm he is.
I also boiled some peanuts and cleaned the house some. My roommate has been out of town for a few days and that makes it easier to relax and be productive.

Woke up at 9am this morning, got dressed, fixed myself up, then took my pill.
9:30am
Sixth pill. No ill effects this time. Yep, all good. Other than that feeling on my face, no change there.
I'm having trouble remembering my morning, got on the internet, took Snickers for a walk, eh, what does it matter. But what I can say is that I felt damn good (not like moments ago when I felt damn doog), every time I saw myself in the mirror I was seeing a really fine woman that looked really happy.
After mom went to work I started cleaning the bathroom, it had been a while since I last did (a month maybe, yeah, bad housekeeper, shame--hey I was depressed), not that it was really disgusting, mostly just lots of dust and hair (mostly my hair, I've always shed a ton) with the floor being the worst of it, but got everything nice and squeaky clean, from vanity to toilet to tub, but had to keep taking quick breaks because the vapors were too strong with the chemicals I was using, had to open all the windows in the apartment up to air it all out so I don't get dizzy and sick breathing it all in. It got so hot today, even the wind was hot, damn electric bill is going to be hellish come mid-late summer, so trying our best to not use the air conditioner too much, but when it gets up to 85 inside, yeah, better turn it on.
Mostly today I was on the internet, pretty much doing nothing, a message or PM here once in a while. Did my stretches, my training for my splits goal. Aside from a few days off from this when I had gotten upset over losing too much weight and how my body looked to me not being on the hormones I said I'd not do them anymore, but I did, just didn't overdo it, but now being back on the hormones again, I feel safe that doing them won't warp my body too much the wrong way. Oh, I had mentioned weight, my weight is still going down, this morning the scale said 136lbs, that's even with all the junk I've been eating lately since last week. At least its not bothering me now, I look fine, feel fine, am.
Oh, I did finally get back to cross-stitching again after 28 days away from it, picking up where I left off with my last dragon one I had in progress that was supposed to had been finished end of last month for the dragon challenge at Sprite Stitch, but oh well, I was going through a mental crisis and needed to pull myself together. And well, now back on the hormones, I think I'm together enough to stitch without risk of a rage attack against my cross-stitch if something like a tangle or knot suddenly occurred and boiled me over. So I worked an hour and a half total on that today, not much, but its a start.
8:10pm
seventh pill. same as previous one, all good. Yay. :) Yes, that feeling on the side of my face is still there but it hasn't been enhanced by taking these pill these last two times, so I figure, ignore it and it'll eventually go away.
Made a good dinner tonight, chicken legs (cheap, good for the whole family--the three of us), mashed potatoes (instant), rice (Minute - for mom), some rice, soy, lentils combo for myself, green beans (frozen), left over chili for myself. So we ate good, I overstuffed myself. Guess I'm going to have to stay up for a bit to let it settle down, otherwise I'm going to have acid trying to come up.
So it was a good day today. A smile, if not plastered to my lips was always in my eyes, just so happy to be me again.

Put together a fancy 5 string bass guitar from parts. Just wired up the recycled active electronics from memory after not having worked on one of these in 16 years. All I have left to do is string it up and make it play well. Although that could take the rest of the day if I have to file frets...
Then I get to finish building my trellis for my jasmine out front.

That sounds amazing! You actually put together a bass yourself? *applauds*
I'm a bassist myself, so you have my appreciation haha
Today I took a morning walk to the store, did some reading (Deepak Chopra's "Buddha"), went to work, and took care of my girlfriend because she was feeling super sick. Poor thing was couch-ridden so I did everything for her.

It's no big deal, I've built and assembled lots of them over the years! I actually used to do it professionally.
It's a frankensteined Warwick Corvette 5-string with mostly 20 year old parts. I strung it up and made some tweaks, and now it's just amazing. Too bad I'm selling it off with a few others soon. I need the closet space worse than ever now.

45mm at nut, 67mm at 24th (and last) fret. So it's a pretty tight string spacing...

Trying to get the hang of this new responsibility on the forums and also got a call back for a receptionist job.
I hope that I'll get that job and I will call that woman back first thing tomorrowmorning.

Congrats Blue Senpai on the news staff thing. :)
Okay, I went to sleep way too late last night, after 2am (yeah, I know, next day actually), woke up around 6am feeling hot and sick, had to turn the air on. Also feeling anxiety something terrible, went back to sleep again for about an hour, alarm got me up at 7:30am, I got up got ready for work. But boy was that anxiety bad. Brushing my hair I had some moment of upset, thought I was losing my hair some weeks ago, yep, for sure I am, hairline is receding along top sides, as well as thinning out along the sides, too much space between hair strands. I used to have such a thick head of hair. Oh well, can't do anything about it now. Will just have to make sure to bring that up when I see an endo soon, see if I can get on spiro. I'm not ready to lose my hair.
Took my pill around 7:50am, no ill effects. Face feels fine. Just having that damn anxiety, my nerves are very jittery and I got a pressing feeling in my chest and throughout. Nothing unusual for me, been having these type of symptoms since my early teens, sometimes feels like I'm going to die, but I'm always okay once it passes. Didn't have time to take Snickers out, left a note for mom to. Walked to work, still very tired, didn't feel right with my steps, unfeminine, but that's only because the pill from last night had worn off, reason for the anxiety, and it'd take a bit for it to take effect.
Got to work, surely did not feel like being there, was dragging. I started HBC to finish that up from a couple days ago. At one point, still jittery, and feeling so unenergetic I told myself, girl, its definitely time for a new job, something different, get away from all this physical crap you keep doing, its not good for you. Plus, its becoming old, so many times now I find myself just not looking forward to it (okay, so that's like most jobs, but I just don't care about any of it anymore). I worked slow, but the day paced me. Got HBC done, took my 10 minute break around noon, started to feel some energy return to me. Started housewares, slow at first but was feeling better within short time, the jitteriness had passed, my energy levels were going up, wasn't so weak anymore. Hormones must've took effect (after 5 hours?), shrugs.
Got home, took a shower, felt better. Breasts have been getting puffy a lot past few days, but also that thing down there too. Been way too horny today, I did not ignore it, but it didn't upset me, unlike earlier this morning I felt like a woman. Still, can't wait til that thing goes and stays limp, its a distraction and will soon even if on hormones start bothering me.
Got a sandwich to eat, internet for a little bit, then okay, time for bed! I can't stay awake any longer, been waiting for this moment the moment I had to get up this morning. Crawled into bed with my dog, went to sleep almost immediately, awaking several hours later. Ugh, too hot, got up turned the air up. I hate the heat, really, really do. I do not like that sick feeling it brings, especially after waking from sleep feeling it. I was still tired, almost was going to get right back in bed, but decided that was enough, sleep too much now won't be able to later.
Took my next pill at 8:25pm, all fine. Feeling better actually. My mood was getting better too. Still tired though. Played with Snickers a little bit, but I just didn't have the energy to for long. Got on the internet. Did my stretches. Mom came home. I didn't make anything for dinner, that's okay she said. We each just had something small, simple. its almost time for bed, told myself I'd get to sleep at a decent hour tonight. Was supposed to cross-stitch today, too tired, @#$% it, its not going anywhere.

Helped my brother with his resume, and revisited some research that I've been neglecting since I started working.
I also made a schedule for the next ten days - a bunch of mini-deadlines that I wanted to achieve on my research to get back on track, my work shifts so I don't lose track of them (easy to do with multiple jobs lol), and some chores I need to do if I don't want my life at home to fall apart while I work. :o

Almost forgot to log in how my day was.
Jeez, can I even remember it? Let me try.
Took first daily pill around 7:40am, second later at 8:30pm, no problems.
Ah, work, finished up housewares, moved over to the craft isle and filled up vases, then later stationary starting with a huge batch of books. The end. :-\ I can't think of anything exciting about today at work, I felt fine with myself, though energy was lacking but not as bad as yesterday but no anxiety so that was good.
Water was turned off today at home for a while, so once I got home from the hot walk I had to rinse down with a bottle of water, but it came on a couple hours after, so no big deal so didn't need to use the two pails we filled up last night as just in case we need to flush the toilet and couldn't. My hair looked like hay, very dry, I put that honey/oil mixture in it that I had done some time ago, hopefully it'll be more alive tomorrow. But aside from my hair, I felt pretty today even without make-up. I think the hormones are starting to kick in, not sure how but my face already looks softer than it had been the week prior.
Got caught up on answering PMs here. Did the dishes, I had a lot of them. Played with my dog, a new game, one I had been meaning to try out with her for a while but always kept forgetting when I needed to remember. I needed 10 water bottles for this one, had 8 full unopened ones, and two I had been using so had just enough. Okay Snickers, ready for some bowling!
http://youtu.be/YKPgbJjfOVg
Now that was fun!
Later more internet, an hour of stitching, and yet again back on the internet again. Should do some stretching before I head off to slumberland, it'll help me sleep better.
The highlight of the day, bowling with Snickers. God I love my dog. :-* If I didn't have her, who'd I have to play with?

Got up early this morning, a bit earlier than usual, but I think I had enough sleep last night as I went to bed just a little after midnight instead of past 2am like I had been doing. Got ready for work, including pulling leg hairs since I was going to have to do some walking in the heat after work and I'd be wearing shorts. Took pill around 8:20am. All good.
At work, started with the pet section but the old boss man came back and I saw him looking at all the food, could tell he was troubled by it all, so asked him if he wanted me to help work that area, of coarse he could use your help. So after I worked out a little bit of pet stuff I jumped on the snacks - cookies, crackers, chips. Got a lot done today, total of 95 cartons. I started out kind of slow though today, ate an apple for my 10 minute snack break, felt energized after that, except for having to pee a lot (darn fruit).
Once my shift was over I went into the restroom, took off my filthy work clothes, changed into something more comfortable, shorts and tank top, put on lipstick, okay, lets do this! The grocery store wasn't too far, 10-15 minute walk from my job, but it was hot, thankfully the way I took I was at least partly shaded some of the time by buildings, though the return trip home will be all sun.
Got to the H-E-B, headed to customer service to pick up a special delivery. Okay, I should use the restroom before going. So I get in there, and for the life of me I don't know why I didn't just hold it, I didn't really have to go that bad, but wanted to make sure since I had a half hour walk back home, but I get in the stall, squat to pee, then the bathroom fills up with women. Wouldn't it figure. There's only 2 stalls. I had my hair up in a ponytail but let it down when I heard them come in, still peeing, head down to hopefully block any views of my genitals (should've just sat completely and made like I was taking a dump or something until the coast was clear). But lifted my head up at one point, noticed this one young pretty blonde standing there easily visible through the all too big door gap, and she was looking at me, I knew this because when I moved my head enough to get her face into view she looked right at me. What a rude bitch! So, still squatting, had to keep my thing back and cover it with tissue while trying to pull my underwear up, all 3, and I was sweaty so it wasn't effortless. Pulled up my shorts, hoping I'll stay tucked, I was very uncomfortable with this situation I put myself in--never use a restroom in a busy place if it don't have but a couple stalls, even if the furthest one. Flushed with my foot, grabbed my handbag off the hook, exited the stall, giving the young lady an uneasy smile (I need to see what kind of response I got). She didn't really make an expression that she cared. Okay, so even though she was seeing me through the crack she may've not seen the details as well as I could her. Oh well, lesson learned. This kinda thing hasn't happened in a very long time, lets not let it happen again. I washed my hands, and cleaned my face (still reddened from being overheated), fixed my hair before leaving the restroom. Oh, need to get a loaf of bread before I leave, so got that, checked out, left. Felt like I was all bunched up down there. Damn stupid girl, just had to stand right there, make me nervous. I didn't even fix everything right, but I think I was okay.
Holy @#$% the walk home was dreadful, I hate crossing busy streets and this was the wrong time for me to be out with everyone trying to get home from work. By the time I got home I was drenched, and my dog started licking my leg, probably thinking, mmm, salty. :) Jumped into the shower, cold water. Feel better now. Got two days off from work, truck don't come until Saturday this time, good. Got some more water, made up a bowl of fruit, currently its resting beside me as I type this, thawing. Made a call to an endocrinologist, got me an appointment for Monday morning (hopefully my mom will be able to take me). That was what my trip to the grocery store was for, to cover the initial visit. Thank you my friend. :-* I know I need not pay it back, but will do my part in paying your kindness forward the best that I can. My doggie just got up out of bed, tail wagging, and a little whimper to let me know she wants to play. In a little while. Actually better yet, better take her out, she keeps looking at her ass (she's always checking that ass of her's out). ::)

I've been staying up later and later lately to get time alone. I still get up early to give meds and breakfast, but I often go back to sleep for an hour or three. So far I think this is a better balance than I think I could accomplish by simply not having any time to myself, but it's not an ideal rhythm.
This morning we got a knock on the door shortly after 9am. It was the bus driver for the upcoming summer school program, and apparently it was obvious that I had been asleep. The guy asked me if I worked nights, and I paused and then laughed when I fleetingly considered telling him what I actually do during the night. "Well sir, I usually either spend my time after dark on forums for transgender people or sleepwalking and hallucinating my dreams superimposed over my living room, so that's why I'm not wearing pants yet." You know, the usual.
It didn't occur to me until later that if he simply knew how violent my kid gets or how scary some of my neighbors are, he wouldn't want to make small talk.
But yeah. Today we had that tiny thing, and a lot of pokemon discussions, and also we have a container full of crickets that are very very chirpy. They all look the same to me, but my daughter says there are six males and one female, and that even thought one male has successfully mated with the female they all still have a chance and are competing for her attention. We didn't have any potatoes or apples so we gave them some carrot slices.
My roommate is out of town, so I left all the dishes in the sink today, but I need to take care of that before he gets back.

Yesterday I was removing a TV dish from my roof when I caught the toe of my sandal under the edge of the ridge cap and did a really hard face plant. The granular composition surface sanded a lot of hide off my right hand, arm and shoulder and I plunged over the edge and landed pretty hard on the concrete patio below. Thankfully nothing was broken but I was a bloody mess and had a miserable night, took two oxycodone pills and was still in pain all night. Now I feel drugged and just plain awful all over, at almost 71 I'm too damned old for this kind of stuff!
Lesson learned: Sandals are inappropriate footwear on a roof, oh and I am banned from going up on the roof now.

So sorry to hear, Shan. Faceplants are the worst! I'm so glad you didn't break anything. And UGH, I don't know what's worse, pain or oxycodone. Next time I suffer the aftereffects of a faceplant, I'm headed straight for the bar. (And hopefully not another faceplant... :P)

Yesterday I was removing a TV dish from my roof when I caught the toe of my sandal under the edge of the ridge cap and did a really hard face plant. The granular composition surface sanded a lot of hide off my right hand, arm and shoulder and I plunged over the edge and landed pretty hard on the concrete patio below. Thankfully nothing was broken but I was a bloody mess and had a miserable night, took two oxycodone pills and was still in pain all night. Now I feel drugged and just plain awful all over, at almost 71 I'm too damned old for this kind of stuff!
Lesson learned: Sandals are inappropriate footwear on a roof, oh and I am banned from going up on the roof now.
Oh dear ... Shan. Take it easy there. Glad your mostly OK. If I'm on the roof, I would wear a makeshift Hefty Cinch Sak parachute. I would hold onto the cinch strings and float down peacefully like a swan onto some bushes below. (Hopefully no cats so I don't emergency abort the landing.)
Would hate to skin my knee!

Glad you're okay Shan, as in not hospitalized or dead, scraped and bruised, at least that'll heal. I slipped yesterday morning when walking Snickers, she wanted to go talk to a young lady that was walking her dog, I had stepped aside before that so they could pass, well Snickers pulled too hard and we were standing in a rocky spot, a rock rolled out from under my foot, I slid down on my ass. No injury though, but goes to show how easy it is to have an accident that could go wrong. Yeah, like that fall I had a couple years ago onto that cinder block, could've been more than just cracked ribs, couldn't been cracked open head. Sometimes we do some stupid things, the important thing is that we live through without much damage, just enough to learn our lesson.
Last night while typing up a message to one of my friends on here suddenly out of the blue the glands on the right side of my throat started bothering me, swelling up, hurting, chest pain followed that. It probably lasted a little over an hour, then went away. Don't know what caused it, but I was drinking a lot of tea, so it could've been that. I thought maybe my tooth was going to start hurting because last time my glands swelled up a toothache followed, but not this time. Cross-stitched for a bit while my mom was on the internet watching Dick Van Dyke, I was sitting in the rocking chair stitching and glancing at that once in a while. I enjoy watching those old shows sometimes, they just don't make good clean humor like that anymore.
This morning, woke up early, probably out of habit. Head has been itching me so much its driving me crazy. My hair looks like crap too, so dry and thin looking. I don't know what's wrong, stress, something else. But the thinning out and bald spots around hairline aren't making me feel too good, actually scares me, it'd be nice if it was just some medical condition, a temporary issue and it'll grow back once dealt with, I still worry that its male baldness pattern that because of my sporadic taking of estrogen and too many gaps in between, that this found a moment to take hold and start the process of eventual permanent hair loss. Yeah, that's all I need to crush my confidence.
Even worst is how insensitive my mom is about it, "Meg, you're how old?" sounded aggitated as usual. Uh, yeah, but I don't want to go friggin' bald! She gets tired of hearing about my problems, saying she has problems too. But the difference is, I don't act the same towards her about it, hearing just as much about her aches and pains and skin rashes as she does about my hormonal problems and now hair, I may not say much but I don't critisis her. Bad enough I told her I had a doctor's appointment Monday morning, "I have to work that day!" she exclaims. Fine, then don't take me, I'll just have to find another way. She said she'll take me though, but not without a little bit of grumpiness over that chore.
Sometimes I don't think she takes my issues serious enough, always brushing them off like one day I won't just break and suddenly not be there anymore. I love my mom, have always been there for her, and I know she loves me, but her lack of support the way I need her, the insensitive remarks, the selfish putting material things over me all too much, sometimes I wish I'd had left long ago. Sometimes I feel like a prisoner, always there's something keeping me here. Still I think and knew it then, she got a dog to assure I stick around, knowing that once I loved it I wouldn't be going anywhere. I think if it weren't for Snickers I'd gone walkabout.
Back when we were homeless in Arlington, one day, this shortly after I sold all my NES games for a thousand dollars (I will later learn this too was necessary for me to be rid of, not just because we needed the money for survival but also for my soul) to keep us going I was heavily contemplating walking, splitting the money, going my own way. I thought, she'd be better off without me and I know I'd be okay, but I felt guilty thinking such things, that it was my fault all this happened anyway (the whole acting like a girl thing afterall according to my sister was just for attention), that I had an obligation to make sure my mom was going to be okay. We got into it together, had to pull through it together, and we did, though not without help from others. After all, the reality is, we don't complement each other very well, our personalities being much the same we clash a lot, but we're just used to each other, that I think being one of few factors holding us together.
Back before I ever got on hormones I used to say how much I wished to die and had made attempts at killing myself, my mom used to always say, "I don't feel sorry for people who kill themselves." Or, "If you're going to do it, then do it.", or "There's a lot of people a lot worst off than you." or other such thing having to do with selfishness over taking my own life, how it'd be on those left behind and that others are out there suffering and would love to just be alive. But it is my life, and her remarks weren't helping. Only thing keeping me from doing it was hope, maybe it'd get better, and fear, of the unknown thereafter death. But I hated her everytime she showed lack of concern for my life when I needed her most.
When I had vertigo some years ago it messed me up pretty bad, I was having all kinds of chemical intolerances, everything was bothering me, bringing on anxiety like I never had before. Sometimes things would bother me that she was doing, or things she had, and I'd tell her, and she'd just say, "Well you're just going to have to deal with it because I'm not getting rid of anything!" or this one, an example of many, her waxing the floor (we had wood floors in our last apartment in Arlington), the chemicals were too strong for me, made me severely nauseous and dizzy, but it was important to her, the floor looked terrible. Okay mom whatever, so the floor is more important than my health. Stuff like that takes days to air out completely.
Sadly to say, when the ->-bleeped-<- hit the fan and the big fight broke out between her and my sister (and my brother) that day we became homeless the first time, I sat by and let it happen, did nothing to try to calm things down, make things better. Its like I felt it was necessary for it to play out as it did. That maybe in the end lessons would be learned on all sides. I caused my family to fall apart, just being me, even though I can't help my feelings (okay, so now I'm starting to cry), being transsexual is not a choice, I was not doing it for attention nor would it ever be a passing phase, I had to live with it and always got reminded about it too, about how difficult it made it for everyone else. Sure there was much said about mom being a bad mother also, she was not, she fought hard for each of us, made a lot of sacrifices in favor of us instead of herself, but as time went on and we all grew older, started drifting apart and then suddenly that night totally fell to pieces, things had been on a decline for so long, I guess I just gave up. Maybe we can start over. Maybe things would mend. Sometimes I hate myself for what I did, or should I say didn't do that night, but then, actually, truthfully I don't think it would've done any good.
Long ago when my brother and I left our father, moved in with mom, sometimes we'd have troubles, my brother was simply a little ->-bleeped-<- (always has been), and I had problems in school, there were a few times my mom had said out of frustration that she wished she had all girls (part of that came true, me). Now, with how here life turned out, I always have to hear how if she could do it all over again, she wouldn't have had children (as if we're all to blame). I know its out of frustration, anger can make anyone say the wrong things, but also say what they really feel too. I try not to take it to heart, but it does bother me, a lot. It hurts, deep. At those times is when I think about slitting my throat right in front of her just so she'd know how I felt about it.
I think no matter how my mom's life would have turned out, she'd always have something to bitch about. She had it all before, so much stuff it was rediculous, and yet still she didn't appreciate it, so she lost it all, the material things as well as a shattered family, a daughter that will never be close to her again even though they do talk on the phone (talking to my sister is like walking on pins and needles, always ever had to be careful of how you word things), a son that she'll most likely never see or even hear from again (he followed his father's footsteps, leaving family behind completely), and our relationship though ever together for so long hangs by a thread, a strong one, but still only a thread.
To top it off, lots of chest hairs must've sprouted during sleep last night, had them all over the place. 'sigh' Gets epilator and pulls them out. Guess the pills aren't working well enough. My point in going to see an endo, I have to know what's going on with me and what best to do about it. My low energy levels and quick to lose stamina, the anxiety that I've had since my teens, those glands that I've always had trouble with in my neck, the drop in weight, circulator problems (numbness in fingers, toes, face, ass cheeks), and now the hair loss. My mood feels more stable, I'm certainly handling it all better than if I weren't on any hormones, I'd be a wreck for sure, crying and whatnot, but I'm doing okay so far (okay, obviously by much of what I just said above, maybe not so much). The hair problem is bothering me most of all right now though, my hair has always been important to me, I don't care that I'm going on 40, I'm not a man, sure in body, but in mind I'm like arrrgh, no, not my pretty hair! Anyway, poured some canola oil into an empty spray bottle I had, spritzed that through my hair and scalp, still itching but not as bad as before, sure my hair looks extra greasy right now but I prefer it over looking like dry hay.
I had to call my work up because I realized this morning that I made a doctor's appointment but didn't think to look to see if I was scheduled to work that day or not, and I am. Boss lady wasn't in, won't be today, so I'll have to call back tomorrow to make sure I can take that day off, maybe swap out with working another day.
Took my pill at 9 this morning. Then took Snickers out and threw out the trash. Its going to get up to the mid 90s today, was yesterday, will be for the rest of the week, want to make sure I don't have to walk anywhere, that sun's a killer.
I didn't expect to type so much, guess I have a lot on my mind. But it could be worst, I could not say anything at all. Mom's up, getting ready for work, I can't be mad at her, after all I'm no angel.

Thanks for your concern. Worst part about aging is having to relinquish control over things I've always done easily myself. When I finally sat down in a patio chair, I couldn't control my right hand, it was shaking uncontrollably and I was bleeding all over, my dog was licking my arm and hand, I think he was concerned, but then again he may have thought it was just really tasty. :laugh:

Last night got a lot of stitching done, should be finished with my current project by end of today. Yay! Then gotta find something else. I ate late last night, two plates of spaghetti, also forgotten to take my pill when it was due, oops, 2 hours late. Ate a chocolate Poptart for a snack all too late, also stayed up till 3 something in the morning doing pretty much nothing but trying to stay awake.
This morning around 6am I woke up with my leg feeling weird, I got up out of bed, went to walk and my left leg buckled out from under me, I fell to my knee. Woah. That's not good. There was barely any feeling in my leg, a slight numbness but mostly nothing. I tried walking on it, holding onto the wall for support in case I came down again. Leg felt heavy but at the same time loose. I was up for a bit trying to get feeling back to it, but eventually decided to go back to sleep since I was able to walk on it and move it fine now, just still felt weird. I fell asleep about 7ish but then woke back up a half hour later this time my right arm fell asleep (also my ear was all red and numb). Oh come on! What the hell. I got up for a few minutes, moving my arm to wake it up, then went back to sleep. Grrr, now what, hungry? Oh geez, go to sleep. Woke again around 11 something. Leg better, arm better. Thank goodness.
I'm the kind of sleeper that doesn't move, I'll go to sleep in one position, and if I don't wake up during the night to consciously turn myself another way, I'll wake in the same position I last remembered I was in before dozing off. So, limbs falling asleep on me is nothing new, though I've never had my leg feel dead before where there was very little feeling, I didn't even get the pins and needles feeling that usually accompanies circulation flowing back through it. But I'm fine now. Called the boss lady at my work to make sure I could get Monday off for my endo appointment, she said it was okay. Because I woke so late, pill again was late, but on time somewhat from when I took it last night. Took my dog out for a short walk. I think its about time for breakfast...yeah, I know, 1pm, that'd be lunch, whatever.
Oh, almost forgot one detail, I did some stretching very late last night too, and I'm thinking that maybe I may've damaged something a little for my leg to feel that way, after all when I was trying to get that dead sensation to go away, moving my leg I kept feeling a pop at my hip, did the other leg but no popping there. My mom told me that's probably it, pushing myself too hard. If we were meant to stretch that far then we would've been born with that ability.

I fell asleep on my stomach once with my arms under me which was really weird because I'm usually either a back or side sleeper, never on my stomach. I awoke in the morning with both arms just dead. They may have well just been two presto logs. It was really quite disconcerting because I have horrendous PTSD issues and being that incapacitated was really freaky. The house could have burned down or someone could have clubbed me to death and all I could do would be lay there and watch it all happen like a helpless dork.

Yeah, can be pretty scary. :-\ I'm a side sleeper, though there have been times that I had to sleep on my back, but usually wake up with sore neck. I have to be careful with how I sleep, I used to rest with my arm under my neck, felt comfortable, but then I started waking with sore neck, strained muscles, unable to turn my head much, so figuring it was how I was sleeping I stopped putting my arm under my neck and don't wake up with a stiff neck anymore, at least nothing severe as I had sometimes. I'd be fine if I was an active sleeper and moved around a lot, but I don't. So waking up feeling like I've been beaten up or numb limbs are common.

Didn't get a chance to log in my day yesterday, so here goes the rest of that day...
So this afternoon I was getting ready to put the money away that I received a few days ago special delivery at the grocery store, because my mom and I were going to go out and I didn't want to have it all on me, so was putting it in my safe place then suddenly notice something odd. Huh? What the heck, where'd this come from? A big bundle of cash already there? ??? I took the bills, counted them...? :o Ah, I know what this was from. Money my mom and I had took out of the bank some weeks ago, I had completely forgotten about it after hiding it away.
I bring it out, show my mom. She asks, what's that? I run her through it, oh, you mean you had that all this time and forgot!? Yeah, what a nice surprise huh? No wonder we seemed short of money for food and stuff. I told her to just forget she knows about it, obviously we didn't need it and were doing okay, so I put it back along with the money for the endo. Well, looks like I'll be halfway covered for another appointment later. :)
Mom wanted to go out to the thift stores, Salvation Army and Goodwill, so I got ready to go with her, I don't usually because the environment usually irritates me, plus the places typical smell, gets my allergies rising. I don't shop those places, have always hated shopping in mess. I've always done better when things are easy, everything all the same, not have fish through things not knowing what to expect. But decided to go along and see what I could find, maybe it'll be worth going through all those racks of mixed up clothes.
Neither place were all that busy, this is good for me, I have a hard time when these places are crowded, usually they are, but today, probably most everyone was out with family and friends and preparing for fireworks. First, Salvation Army. I found 5 items while there, 5 tops, 2 dresses, total came up to about $17. Not bad at all. Next, Goodwill. While they have a much larger selection, prices are also higher and I couldn't find any tops here, all the good stuff is in small, or shall I say itty-bitty sizes, but I got 3 very pretty dresses. I spent about $15 on my purchases here. Next we hit up the grocery store, had to get a few things, then rented some movies from the Redbox outside, Pacific Rim, The Dark Knight Rises, and Son of God. Time to go home.
We got home, put the food away, I tried on my dresses and tops, already had in the dressing rooms at the stores, but wanted to show my mom since she didn't see them all. She loved them all just as I did. Sat down to watch a movie, Pacific Rim (pretty cool, combination Godzilla meets Robot Jox). After that I went through my new (used) clothes again, taking the price tags off, and now noticing flaws. Darnit, why in the hell would someone in their right mind use staples! I didn't realize they were until then. Oh no, this dress is ruined! There are 4 gaping holes in one of them just from the staples being in there, I removed them to assess the damage better, irreparable. I pull a Q*Bert @!#?@! I showed my mom, she thought maybe she could fix it, but no, the wrong kind of material, too thin and stretchy. Its still wearable, and pretty but still I'm kind of upset. >:( I don't think I'll be getting clothes from them again, as is one of the tops, pink one with elephant blowing bubbles, there are small holes left where the staples were in that one too, but not really noticeable except by me since I knew where they were.
Then later I notice one of the other dresses, very pretty one, off white with red flower pattern, well I don't know how I didn't spot them before but its got at least 3 faint yellowish stains, also my mom had to sew up a section below the zipper on the back because the threads had come loose, must've been why someone dropped it off at the Goodwill. She thinks the stains will come out though, hopefully because its just so pretty. All while I was taking pics of me in my new clothes, mom was watching that Son of God movie, not something I'd been interested in watching. Most of my pictures didn't come out well, plus camera died, so will have to continue this later, tomorrow.
Oh, and boom-booms started about 9pm, fireworks. My dog was having a fit, guess she thought someone was trying to get in, kept barking at the walls and door for a bit until she got used to it, then some jerks were popping some out in the tennis court, I looked out the peephole, flash, flash, flash. Moments later out back, sizzling and bright light, looked out the kitchen window, a group standing there watching light and sparks from something they set off in the road. Once over within moments they walk away. Okay, now that was not exciting. I guess I've just never got the point in watching fireworks. :-\
Went to sleep very late, near 2am, don't even remember why I was up for so long, didn't watch anything else, didn't do anything else, guess the time just flew too fast. I didn't even do anything on the internet, nor cross-stitch, or stretching. Started to watch The Dark Knight Rises, but got too tired, time for bed.

Mom wanted to go out to the thift stores, Salvation Army and Goodwill, so I got ready to go with her, I don't usually because the environment usually irritates me, plus the places typical smell, gets my allergies rising. I don't shop those places, have always hated shopping in mess. I've always done better when things are easy, everything all the same, not have fish through things not knowing what to expect. But decided to go along and see what I could find, maybe it'll be worth going through all those racks of mixed up clothes.
Neither place were all that busy, this is good for me, I have a hard time when these places are crowded, usually they are, but today, probably most everyone was out with family and friends and preparing for fireworks. First, Salvation Army. I found 5 items while there, 5 tops, 2 dresses, total came up to about $17. Not bad at all. Next, Goodwill. While they have a much larger selection, prices are also higher and I couldn't find any tops here, all the good stuff is in small, or shall I say itty-bitty sizes, but I got 3 very pretty dresses. I spent about $15 on my purchases here. Next we hit up the grocery store, had to get a few things, then rented some movies from the Redbox outside, Pacific Rim, The Dark Knight Rises, and Son of God. Time to go home.
We got home, put the food away, I tried on my dresses and tops, already had in the dressing rooms at the stores, but wanted to show my mom since she didn't see them all. She loved them all just as I did. Sat down to watch a movie, Pacific Rim (pretty cool, combination Godzilla meets Robot Jox). After that I went through my new (used) clothes again, taking the price tags off, and now noticing flaws. Darnit, why in the hell would someone in their right mind use staples! I didn't realize they were until then. Oh no, this dress is ruined! There are 4 gaping holes in one of them just from the staples being in there, I removed them to assess the damage better, irreparable. I pull a Q*Bert @!#?@! I showed my mom, she thought maybe she could fix it, but no, the wrong kind of material, too thin and stretchy. Its still wearable, and pretty but still I'm kind of upset. >:( I don't think I'll be getting clothes from them again, as is one of the tops, pink one with elephant blowing bubbles, there are small holes left where the staples were in that one too, but not really noticeable except by me since I knew where they were.
Then later I notice one of the other dresses, very pretty one, off white with red flower pattern, well I don't know how I didn't spot them before but its got at least 3 faint yellowish stains, also my mom had to sew up a section below the zipper on the back because the threads had come loose, must've been why someone dropped it off at the Goodwill. She thinks the stains will come out though, hopefully because its just so pretty. All while I was taking pics of me in my new clothes, mom was watching that Son of God movie, not something I'd been interested in watching. Most of my pictures didn't come out well, plus camera died, so will have to continue this later, tomorrow.
Oh, and boom-booms started about 9pm, fireworks. My dog was having a fit, guess she thought someone was trying to get in, kept barking at the walls and door for a bit until she got used to it, then some jerks were popping some out in the tennis court, I looked out the peephole, flash, flash, flash. Moments later out back, sizzling and bright light, looked out the kitchen window, a group standing there watching light and sparks from something they set off in the road. Once over within moments they walk away. Okay, now that was not exciting. I guess I've just never got the point in watching fireworks. :-\
Went to sleep very late, near 2am, don't even remember why I was up for so long, didn't watch anything else, didn't do anything else, guess the time just flew too fast. I didn't even do anything on the internet, nor cross-stitch, or stretching. Started to watch The Dark Knight Rises, but got too tired, time for bed.

Okay, I guess now that I'm caught up on yesterday, time for today. Woke this morning, got ready for work, took pill per usual. Went to work, a few minutes later right before I was going to clock in my boss lady tells me that the truck driver just called, said he wasn't going to be there until about 1:30pm. O-kay. But she said she had to run to the bank so she could drive me home. Okay, I'm fine with that. My boss drove me home, I don't live far, just a 7 minute walk or so down the road, but even though so short it is an inconvenience coming in when scheduled and then being told I have to go home and come back, so the ride back was welcomed. Got home, took my work clothes off, started to take pictures again, first in that dress with the staple holes in it, then low battery, shoot, forgot I didn't charge it completely. Okay, keeping the dress on as its very pretty and comfortable, took Snickers out for a short walk. When I came back, mom was getting up, I put on that Batman movie, so we're watching that now.
Okay, somehow this movie looks so familiar, like maybe I've seen it before. But how? When? I couldn't recall, but I definitely remember many of the parts. Mom didn't. She got tired, bored of it, as well as annoyed by the music, which was pretty bad, that it overwhelmed so much of the talking in the movie. She went to take a nap, I continued to watch the movie even though I was also having a hard time taking to it. Okay, I remember, I did see it before, back when we were still in North Carolina, either over my nephews family's house or borrowed from them. I don't know how I couldn't remember, but then after I finished watching it this time, yeah, now I know why I couldn't remember it, it wasn't worth remembering. A waste of $1.25 just so I can say I'd seen it before. Okay, movie over, gotta get ready for work.
Mom drove me back to work. Truck did not come at 1:30, it was still late. I worked out a few things until it showed up some ten minutes or so after 2pm. Driver took forever trying to back that thing up, I decided to take my 10 minute break, ate chocolate poptarts and an apple to give myself some energy because I was going to need it. Once we got started it was already 2:35pm, I figured it'd take us between 3 to 3 and half hours to unload it. It was hot, thankfully not humid so it was breathable air unlike last time, but that sun...at least my choice of snacks did give me a good energy boost. It was me and the old man working today, but the boss lady did join in for the first 15-20 minutes or so which helped give us a good start. Besides all the normal cartons, we also had lots of bleach and water come in, but despite all the sweat endrenching me and how much work it was, over 1200 cartons of merchandise, I did pretty well holding together today. We finished the unload at 5:30pm, 5 minutes shy of 3 hours, pretty good, faster than I expected. I didn't have much time left to do much, but I still put out a little bit of HBC before I left for the day.
I saw Snickers out there, my little girl came to pick me up from work with her momma. I felt rejuvenated just seeing her. Time to go home. I go back to work Tuesday, then not scheduled again until Friday, short work week, but maybe my boss'll give me more hours in between, after all we got a ton of stuff back there, the managers can't handle it all on their own. Got home, took a shower, made dinner for us, hotdogs and chili, after that laundry. After we finished that mom wanted to go wash her car, I'm like, at 10 o'clock at night!? She thought it was fine. So we drove a few minutes down the road so she could wash her car, and vacuum it, then got it fueled up a little.
When we got home mom asked if I wanted to have my hair dyed. Are you going to do it? I ask her. Sure, she said. Okay. I hadn't dyed my hair in quite some years, I'm sure it shows in my pics, that wasn't why I wanted it done, the white doesn't bother me really, its that its thinning out a lot so coupled with the whitening it was starting to look ragged. So my momma applied it for me, I sat on the internet for 20 minutes or so waiting for it to finish taking effect, then went to rinse it out. Blow dried my hair a little, hmm, interesting, medium brown actually look very light, eh, its okay. Kind of odd seeing myself though without all those white strands, I got used to it. But this is nice, and if I don't like it, I can always change it to some other color, nothing drastic of coarse. My eyes are irritating me though, the chemicals in this dye aren't as strong as some past ones I'd used, but still the residual odor is making me constantly blink, hopefully I'll be able to sleep okay, I still always worry about another repeat of vertigo.
Sitting here on the internet typing up my day nearly an hour past the end of the day, seeing myself now with all brown hair again, looks weird, will have to take a pic or few tomorrow and show a before and after of my hair color, that'd be fun. I wonder how noticeable it'll be in photos? I still gotta take some pics of me in my new clothes. Oh, that reminds me, there was a casualty, one of those pretty dresses I liked, it had what looked like very faint stains in a couple places on it, well my mom tried to removed them and the material just fell apart in those spots, so now not only stains, or possibly burn marks, but now small holes too. I was deeply upset. Mom threw it away so I wouldn't have to think about it anymore, but I took it back out of the trash a little while later. I'd still like to at least get a pic with me wearing it, even if its ruined. I keep thinking I'd love to be able to make my own clothes, especially something like a dress, but no sewing experience, but I'd like to, someday when my ambition reaches its fullest.
Poor Snickers, I hadn't even had a chance to play with her today. But I did for a tinie bit a short while ago with her new dinosaur that mom picked up at one of the thrift stores yesterday. She's now sleeping soundly below me, and I guess now I'm finished for the day, readying for yet another.

Okay, so what did I do today, so far?
Got up kind of late, plucked facial hair, got make-up on, put on new cute little dress I got from Goodwill the other day, took Snickers out for a walk.
Hung around on the internet for a bit (mom also gave me the Time Warner bill to pay so we can keep having internet; and to think, last year I could care less about it, now I can't live without it), until mom left for work, then okay Snickers, play time! ;D
http://youtu.be/s9K7wo0G_E0
After playing Snickers sat down on a blanket and chewed on a rawhide bone thingy for a bit while I uploaded our video to Youtube, cross-stitching during the wait. Finished that cross-stitch that I had started near the end of May which was supposed to be my final entry for the dragon challenge at Sprite Stitch, but I become too stressed to complete it then, anyone here that has read many of my posts will have an idea of what that was about, no estrogen equals one messed up chick. I feel great now! :)
So this is what it turned out like (finally done!):

Hmm, what else...? I feel like I'm missing something I had done, eh maybe I'll remember later.

I got some Japanese food today at the mall to finally quench my desire. It was on sale for 3.50 plus tax. Now that I have tasted it, I don't have to suffer at work wondering what their food tastes like. The same thing applies with the Chinese place there. To top it off, I actually got to talk to Miss Sample Lady. She sounds like an older lady, but I don't care. She is so beautiful.

Got up this morning at 5:30. Took a shower, put on my pretty blue dress that I got from Walmart some time back (finally I wear it out) pluck hairs, doll myself up, take pill, take my dog out, get on the internet, snapped some maps so we don't get lost on the way to the doctor, then we were out of the house by 7:45. I have several routes mapped out, but knowing the highway would be backed up took regular streets, a longer route but still got there in just a half and hour, probably still would've been sitting on the highway trying to hold my pee (I always have to go a lot in the morning). Okay, we are way too early, its not even 8:30 yet and my appointment is for 10am. Again, yes, I had to pee. Went down the road to find some place to sit and go the bathroom, Chic a Fill something or other was closest, saw customers come out a door, I tried entering, it was locked, odd, what's with the number pad, try another, same, then a worker sticks his head out a pick-up window saying that I can only enter from the patio door, wherever the hell that is, oh to hell with this weird city, McDonalds is across the street. So, mom and I are sitting here, she got breakfast, I got a chance to use internet. Appointment is in an hour, we'll probably go over there soon, I'd think they should be open now or about to be.

Okay, so got back to the doctor's office, situated in a house, go inside, well this is different, comfy, not sterile. Little bit of Asian flare to décor, vitamins, herbs and stuff in cases, parakeet in a cage. Hmm. Young lady with bright green color in her short cut hair comes out from back, greats me and mom, I tell her that I have an appointment for 10am, she remembered my name. Gave me a few papers to fill out, mom sits down and looks at magazines. I give the filled out paperwork back, she takes it, enters the info into the computer. She was both friendly and professional, constantly working on something, printing or faxing stuff, answer the phone.
About a half hour after we had arrived a guy in a white polo shirt and shorts comes in from outside, I recognized him, seen him in a video on his website, this was the guy I was going to be seeing. He mentions something about the parking being a full house outside, all cars from the place next door. A short while later a lady and her children come in, he greats her and then and brings them to the back, seems very friendly I think. Sometime during my wait the lady at the desk tells me that the doctor has a medical student there today, asked me if it'd be okay with me that he sits in for my visit. I tell her that wouldn't be a problem. Had to sit for a while longer, some little bit after 10 he leads the mother and children out, then asks who's next, I guess I am I reply cheerfully. Okay, come on back! She can come too if you want, referring to my mom, so my mom and I both went back there with him to his office.
His office was very cozy, kind of like a study, but I noticed toys on the floor in one corner, something fun for the kiddies to play with. He asks us to take a seat. The other fellow introduces himself to me and I do the same, then my mom. We sit and the doc asks what I was there for. I tell him why, summing up a quick history. We talked for a good hour, him being very informative about everything, and completely open and knowledgeable about transgender folks (says he sees hundreds a year). His relaxed, nonjudgmental demeanor enabled me to be completely calm, relaxed, no nerves at all, so I was able to tell him everything that I needed to and asking questions without feeling he'd think it was stupid like most doctors I'd ever seen. And my mom was able to put in her replies or questions as well. He'd talk or listen and once in a while type something up, printed out something for me, prescriptions. He was very personable, I like that. The other guy sat there listening, taking notes on his laptop, not interfering, just there to learn, but even he was respectable, didn't make me feel uneasy with him being there. I really like this guy, never had I had a doctor make me feel this comfortable, and I did thank him at the end for treating me well, he gave both myself and mom a hug. Then brought the next patient back.
Anyway, got prescriptions for more estradiol valerate pills, but finasteride as well. I could've gone with injectable, but since I'm doing okay so far on the pills I stick them out for a bit. And being that I don't smoke or drink nor take any other drugs he didn't think there should be any concern for much stress on my liver. He did mention taking them sublingually, that's when I had told him about the reaction that I had when I initially tried it. He told me that it was probably too much, that if I felt comfortable with trying again that I could cut the pills in half so it won't be so strong for me. Told me also for the numbing I get that I should try taking 3 capsules of fish oil a day for circulation, and if I felt I needed to add Circuplex to that as well. He didn't try pushing any drugs on me, here take this, this and this too, nope.
Got the paperwork for the lab work that still needs to be done, its all paid for, I just have to find the time to go to the place to do it. That'll be for GHP (general health panel) as well as Prolactin, this later one my other docs never did, he didn't understand why this was ignored by them. He noticed right away when I gave him the last bloodwork results I had back in December 2012, knowing just by that that my last doctor, endocrinologist wasn't very knowledgeable with transgenders. By the way, this doctor, my doctor now "Dr. M. Rayner Dickey" is not an endo, I mistakenly thought he was probably because he specializes in transgender care and came up when I was looking up endocrinologists, but he's a general family doctor, so he does a bit of everything, which means, I got me a doctor for all my aches 'n pains and illnesses too. He gave me a symptom survey form to fill out at my leisure, 224 multiple choice fill in the circles type deals, every symptom you could think of, this so he'll have a good clear idea of my health, what we could address and how best to handle it.
Also, my next appointment with him, he told me that I could come back in 6 months or so, unless for some reason I felt I needed to come in sooner. And here I was worried that I'd have to see him every few months like what was told to me over the phone when I was first looking around for a reasonable doctor for my HRT. That's because I've already been on the hormones so long, my own experience and knowing full well what to expect, he felt I didn't need to see him that much. That's wonderful. In the meantime I still have over half a year supply of pills, a prescription for more on top of that, so I'm set for a long while. I thought I'd be scrounging for money, having to sell off my cross-stitches for chump change or take a second job. Yes, that very first appointment is a killer cost wise, but it was worth it, I am confident I'm in good caring hands, not greedy ones. The receptionist had to back her car out when we were about to leave because the parking had gotten so cramped, again, this was all from next door (whatever that business was) and she waved to us as we pulled out, I waved back, smile on my face, so happy I went here than somewhere else. :)
Oh, and I did show my before and after pics to the doc and the med student, I got positive approvals from both of them. My doctor told me that if he didn't already know I was trans, he would've thought I'd been a natural born girl all along. Even said after I made mention of it, adam's apple wasn't that noticeable. Said for the most part, only ones going to notice it are other transgender. And children I put in. Still, that thing is gone, err, shaved down first chance I get. But in the meantime holding my head high, as in my current profile pic, adam's apple and all. Another day, yet again feeling good.
Next stop since we have plenty of time, have to run down to the food stamps place, fill out a form, already had a phone interview last week but had to wait until I could get my mom to drive me out there. Told the people there what I was there for, filled out a form, just my case number and signature really, turned it into one of the windows, was out in 10 minutes. Thank goodness, hopefully it all goes through okay so I can start receiving benefits, so we could start eating better. I don't like having to go on them, but held off as long as I could, did the same back in North Carolina, afterall, I'm paying for it everytime the government takes money out of my paycheck for taxes. Maybe I'll actually be able to save up some money now for the next visit and prescriptions.
Home now, mom left for work, Snickers is below my feet whining (a lot, she did the same yesterday, the girl is starved for attention I tell you), she wants to play so bad, I thinks I'm going to come up with another game, have a wild idea but have to see if I can find what I can use for a ramp. ;D
About a half hour after we had arrived a guy in a white polo shirt and shorts comes in from outside, I recognized him, seen him in a video on his website, this was the guy I was going to be seeing. He mentions something about the parking being a full house outside, all cars from the place next door. A short while later a lady and her children come in, he greats her and then and brings them to the back, seems very friendly I think. Sometime during my wait the lady at the desk tells me that the doctor has a medical student there today, asked me if it'd be okay with me that he sits in for my visit. I tell her that wouldn't be a problem. Had to sit for a while longer, some little bit after 10 he leads the mother and children out, then asks who's next, I guess I am I reply cheerfully. Okay, come on back! She can come too if you want, referring to my mom, so my mom and I both went back there with him to his office.
His office was very cozy, kind of like a study, but I noticed toys on the floor in one corner, something fun for the kiddies to play with. He asks us to take a seat. The other fellow introduces himself to me and I do the same, then my mom. We sit and the doc asks what I was there for. I tell him why, summing up a quick history. We talked for a good hour, him being very informative about everything, and completely open and knowledgeable about transgender folks (says he sees hundreds a year). His relaxed, nonjudgmental demeanor enabled me to be completely calm, relaxed, no nerves at all, so I was able to tell him everything that I needed to and asking questions without feeling he'd think it was stupid like most doctors I'd ever seen. And my mom was able to put in her replies or questions as well. He'd talk or listen and once in a while type something up, printed out something for me, prescriptions. He was very personable, I like that. The other guy sat there listening, taking notes on his laptop, not interfering, just there to learn, but even he was respectable, didn't make me feel uneasy with him being there. I really like this guy, never had I had a doctor make me feel this comfortable, and I did thank him at the end for treating me well, he gave both myself and mom a hug. Then brought the next patient back.
Anyway, got prescriptions for more estradiol valerate pills, but finasteride as well. I could've gone with injectable, but since I'm doing okay so far on the pills I stick them out for a bit. And being that I don't smoke or drink nor take any other drugs he didn't think there should be any concern for much stress on my liver. He did mention taking them sublingually, that's when I had told him about the reaction that I had when I initially tried it. He told me that it was probably too much, that if I felt comfortable with trying again that I could cut the pills in half so it won't be so strong for me. Told me also for the numbing I get that I should try taking 3 capsules of fish oil a day for circulation, and if I felt I needed to add Circuplex to that as well. He didn't try pushing any drugs on me, here take this, this and this too, nope.
Got the paperwork for the lab work that still needs to be done, its all paid for, I just have to find the time to go to the place to do it. That'll be for GHP (general health panel) as well as Prolactin, this later one my other docs never did, he didn't understand why this was ignored by them. He noticed right away when I gave him the last bloodwork results I had back in December 2012, knowing just by that that my last doctor, endocrinologist wasn't very knowledgeable with transgenders. By the way, this doctor, my doctor now "Dr. M. Rayner Dickey" is not an endo, I mistakenly thought he was probably because he specializes in transgender care and came up when I was looking up endocrinologists, but he's a general family doctor, so he does a bit of everything, which means, I got me a doctor for all my aches 'n pains and illnesses too. He gave me a symptom survey form to fill out at my leisure, 224 multiple choice fill in the circles type deals, every symptom you could think of, this so he'll have a good clear idea of my health, what we could address and how best to handle it.
Also, my next appointment with him, he told me that I could come back in 6 months or so, unless for some reason I felt I needed to come in sooner. And here I was worried that I'd have to see him every few months like what was told to me over the phone when I was first looking around for a reasonable doctor for my HRT. That's because I've already been on the hormones so long, my own experience and knowing full well what to expect, he felt I didn't need to see him that much. That's wonderful. In the meantime I still have over half a year supply of pills, a prescription for more on top of that, so I'm set for a long while. I thought I'd be scrounging for money, having to sell off my cross-stitches for chump change or take a second job. Yes, that very first appointment is a killer cost wise, but it was worth it, I am confident I'm in good caring hands, not greedy ones. The receptionist had to back her car out when we were about to leave because the parking had gotten so cramped, again, this was all from next door (whatever that business was) and she waved to us as we pulled out, I waved back, smile on my face, so happy I went here than somewhere else. :)

got up very early today after doing some late-night online shopping.
doing a load of laundry, and have a busy day ahead of me.
Second therapy appointment is at 11am today, and I have a job interview at 3pm. I'm really excited for both. and also really nervous. My stomach is in knots!

Got up today, feeling a bit of anxiety, had some things on my mind that were causing it, but it eventually cleared up later in the day.
Worked HBC today, 98 cartons worked out, still probably about that much left over still to put out. Most of what we got in were deodorants, most I've seen at one time in a long while, got a lot of smelly pits out there.
At one point I was putting some lipgloss out and a little girl comes up to me and says excuse me, she got my attention, I ask her what she needs. She says, "Do you know the remote control toothbrushes are?" Oh my gosh, she was so cute! So I show her and get one for her. She thanks me and acts all goofy like some kids do and trots off to find mom I guess. Her grandfather (he looked like he may've been) looks down the isle and calls out to her, she tells him in just a moment, the girl was all over the place, he shakes his head and says something about her not listening just like his own kids didn't. I smile. Afterwards she comes back down the aisle (oops, now after all this time suddenly just now I spell out the right aisle, the whole time I'd been typing isle every time I used this word, silly me, its not an island), stops beside me energy and youthful curiosity fueling her every move. She asks "Miss, what's your name." I say 'Megan'. She replies, "I like that name" then says something else in regards to it I can't remember, all smiles. (What's great about this scenario, she saw me as a girl like herself, they kids usually terrify me because they tend to see things the adults don't, but I totally pass for her) Then says how her sister likes make-up, I say, "Well, we have lots of it!" She giggles and then says, "Wait right here, I have to show my mom you!" (something like that, but that's what it sounded like she said) I look over and my boss lady whom is working an endcap right near me, has a puzzled expression on her face, I shrug. Strange girl I think, but adorable.
She comes back alone, and while I'm letting slide all at once out of the box a batch of toothpastes, she giggles and says, "The tower of toothpaste!" So I do it again with another box, trying to stack them on top of the ones already standing length up, most stand some fall over, she was getting thrilled by this display. She then told me that she likes watching me put stuff out, looks fun! I could not help but smile, she just made my day! But the whole time I felt I knew her, not really, but I done heard her name being called out probably 50 times by her mom. Her older sister had come into and out of the aisle a few times as well, looking at make-up and other similar things, I knew her by name too. The little girl came, went, came back quite a bit, as I said, she was all over the place, then she came back in and was trying eagerly to get mom to follow and she was saying, "Mom, this is the nice lady that helped me with the toothbrush!" Of coarse mom just apologies, "I'm so sorry, she's just very social." as if her daughter was being a pain or something, silly. But mom was also busy texting, so no wonder her daughter was going to others for attention, mom was focused somewhere else, only once in a while calling out her daughter's name. Anyway, that was different and I totally wanted one. :)
Dammit, I was cheated out of motherhood, oh well, maybe next time. After I had recapped this event to my mom I said, probably next time I'll be born female, become a mother and my kid will end up being trans, that'd be something. She said, "even worst, you'd be unable to accept it". Ouch. That'd be terrible, don't even think such things. I wouldn't remember my past life, but I think my soul would and I'd still be me so I think I would be accepting of my transgender child. There. ;D
I had brought a change of clothes with me, so when time to go home I changed out of my work clothes, left those in my locker (since my boss asked me if I wanted to come in tomorrow), walked home in comfort, and feeling pretty instead of looking like a bum with dirty clothes and a hole blown out of one pant leg knee. So I worn my new top with the stripes and my light blue demin shorts. I was going to walk over to HEB to put in my prescriptions but that heat was just too much, I couldn't do that again after last time, just too long for me to be walking in the sun. So I went home, I'll deal with the prescriptions another day, probably Friday, that and hopefully the bloodwork too, depends on when the truck comes in at work on when I'll be able to do these.
Got home, ate something, got on the internet, pretty much did that for several hours, paying no attention to me poor doggie. But I did finally quit for a little bit and took her out for a walk. Played for a little while with Snickers early in the evening, throwing balls at plush toys and we rough-housed a bit, wrestling with each other and I was throwing my blanket over her, she loves the fighting stuff. Her little heart was just thumping away. She was happy now. Back on the internet. And yeah, that's about it.

Got up before my alarm
Made/drank a triple latte
Shower/shaved legs
Waxed arms
Saw Dr. Alter for pre-orchi consult
Got stuck in traffic up Coldwater Canyon due to incompetent drivers
Had lunch
Various home repairs
Disassembled stovetop and gave it a thorough cleaning
Cleaned (read: sterilized) kitchen
Cleaned shower with bleach
Cleaned mirrors and glass (lots of glass in my house...)
Finally disposed of the last of the debris from home construction mess
Emailed college roommate about his new solo album
Baked cookies
Plucked hairaeolas
Listened to Def Leppard
Normally I'd have a drink to Jillax with, but that's off the menu for a bit. Green tea it is... (the kind from China, not the kind you smoke)

Oh my goodness, I'm falling behind on my days.
If too much time passes I tend to forget the details. Quick sum up of yesterday. Worked out housewares at work. Halfway through my day got hungry went to get the apple out of my locker, go to pull the keys off my beltloop, oh, hell no, crap, did it again. The keys are in my locker. Sigh. What's wrong with me lately, that's twice now. I go up front, trying to remember my phone number so I can call my mom and ask her if she can drop the spares off to me before she goes into work, the old boss dude sees me standing there puzzled looking, he raises his eyebrows, and so I tell him what happened. Well, that shouldn't be a problem, I can get it open for you. So we go to the back, he grabs what looks like the leg of a fixture, takes it to my locker, bangs a few times on the locking mechanism causing it to turn, voila, locker open just like that! Huh? So anyone wanting to get into them could do so this easily? Wow. I feel really safe now. Lets hope no one else tries that then. After I got my keys back which were attached to my handbag in the locker, grabbed my apple and another bottle of water, made sure my keys were on me, then banged the locking thing back into its proper position, nothing damaged. So that was my highlight of the day. Everything else same 'ol.
Last night got a PM from a friend wanting to buy one of my cross-stitches. So, this morning, shortly after I got up, checked my messages, I just sold my biggest most awesome cross-stitch
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-KgM5EzIS4CY/U74fQq1TLqI/AAAAAAAASGM/Jy-vlIGGCSk/w709-h532-no/Immortal+-+front.JPG)
thank you so much Evelyn! I hope you loves it! Actually I know you will. :)
Woke up feeling beat up, kind of weak this morning, after answering some messages which included the transaction above and a few posts made, I finally got some clothes on, was just sitting there in underwear and t-shirt (dog keep peeking out of the blinds, do you mind!?), so prettied myself up and got on my new denim dress and took Snickers out for a walk. Came back, got something to eat, started getting a headache, lower right rear of my skull, a bit behind the ear, felt like pressure, but hurt when swallowing, and felt a little nauseous too. I took a vitamin and some fish oil. Kept getting worst, had to lay down for a little bit, pain was moving towards my right temple.
Mom was cleaning, getting the apartment ready just in case we have visitors tonight as someone is supposed to be helping her get a couch home that one of the residents where she works doesn't want and told her to take since we didn't have one, the old man's family said it was okay too. So she's vacuuming, moving things around, cleaning the bathroom in case if someone did come in and have to use it she wouldn't feel embarrass. Told me to put the dog crate and Snicker's toys in the big pantry closet in the kitchen, I'm like, ugh, we have a dog, why wouldn't there be dog toys and stuff around, that'd be like people that have children and want them to be all dressed up fancy, sitting quiet and on their best behavior just to impress someone, like ah, doesn't she have such the perfect (and boring) little children. Come on now mom! Its all staying out. Well, just make sure they're not all over the place, and do the dishes! Oh geez.
After resting for a little bit I decided to get back up, headache was subsiding, but now all I've been doing is burping up that fish oil pill, each time getting the taste of sardines. My mom's like ewe gross, glad I didn't take any of those! I probably should've just bought a few cans of sardines instead. Fish like that totally grosses my mom out, that and vinegar and any condiments (they all contain vinegar), mmm mayonnaise...I love it!

Printed out proof of income for tomorrow's first appointment that stands in the way of HRT.
Talked to my friends and played a LoL game with one of them.
Thought about my ex-girlfriend.
Returned the yearbook.

Didn't do much of anything today, mostly just sat around. Played with dog a little bit. Took her for a walk. Lazed around on the internet. Did my stretches though, but somehow my legs felt so heavy. its an odd feeling that I've been having since starting back on the hormones, one I never got when on the injections, limbs feel really loose, wobbly like jelly and heavy but I do have strength in them because I can lift them up horizontally and keep them that way for a good bit. Its just strange feeling, like if I didn't use enough of those muscles that if I walked my knees would give out. But also even my mom said this, my legs have gotten much fatter, so maybe with so much fat build up so quickly that my muscles have to get used to that extra bulk that it hadn't had for a while. The fat thighs feel nice, like having thicker layer of skin.
Mom got home, told me to put Snickers in the bathroom and hurry on out to help with the couch. I did and there it was in the back of one of her coworker's pick-up truck. So I jumped on up into it and we lifted it out, carried it up the sidewalk into the apartment. For a 3 seater that wasn't so bad, not really heavy at all, thought for sure it'd be a struggle. Nice couch, like totally new looking. After mom brought the cushions in Snickers was so excited, jumped up on it and lay down like it was brought in for her. My Snickers loved having a couch before when we were in North Carolina, that was my bed and her's. My mom's hoping she'll sleep out in the living room on it because she's a pain to sleep with sometimes, for a smallish dog she can hog up some space.
Ate a few hours ago, I'm starting to get hungry again, but blood test tomorrow morning so no food until after that.

Went to my first appointment that's required for HRT. It's informed consent instead of the whole gender therapist letter and referral route, which saved me months of heartache. The appointment basically went over the effects of testosterone, asked about my life in general and took my blood.

Went out and about for the first time in weeks. Popped in on my aunt & uncle and hung out there for awhile. Now I need to do the dishes and toss a pizza in the oven for a very late dinner.

Busy day today. Firstly, I got woke up sometime around 2:30 in the morning again because my left leg feel asleep, but not a normal sleep that sometimes happens to limbs, again as had happened a couple times before it felt dead, like it wasn't there, took me force moving it to get it to come alive a bit, heck I couldn't even stand on it for a minute or so. I'm not liking this one bit. I got up walked around for a little while then went back to bed. So woke up early, a little after 5:30am, got up and ready to do what I had to do today. Mom too had enough sleep and was ready to take me out. We left out of the house around 7am.
First stop to get my blood drawn, the place happened to be in walking distance from us, but I didn't find this out until late yesterday, somehow missed this closest location when looking on Google maps. So I had two tests, one for a general health panel and another for Prolactin, done in less than a minute, quick, mostly painless and arm wasn't sore afterwards (usually I am). My doc should get the results soon and then either call or email me about them. Next, post office to ship out that cross-stitch, darn, too early it don't open for another 40 minutes. Okay, we'll come back. Lets go take care of my prescription. We get into HEB, go to the pharmacy, hmm, well that's not open yet either. No biggie, so we did some grocery shopping since we were there. After shopping we went back home to drop the food off, then back out again, back to HEB.
The pharmacy was open now, I show my prescription and wanted to know how much the cost would be, I was given the price, ouch! Ah, let me think about it. We left, went back to the post office, it was open so went inside, picked out an appropriate box, rolled the stitchery up, packing it in plastic and bubble wrap before inserting in box, then wrote in address, taped up securely. Its ready to go! After we were done there, mom wanted to stop off at the library to see if they had any good movies to check out, so we went there next, but as per all our stops except the first, they weren't open yet, not until 10am, but we waited, the 20-25 or so minutes until they did. Mom was having trouble finding anything this time, but I saw Thundarr the Barbarian (old early 80s cartoon), as well as The Walking Dead season 3, so grabbed up those, she did end up finding one movie, then we checked out. On our way home, having had time to think about it, sure I could probably explore more options but this one is convenient, lets go back to HEB and see about filling my prescription.
I gave the pharmacist my prescription, she looked it up and then told me about some savings thing that I could join up for, just $5 but I get a big discount on medicine. Well, now that's more like it. Okay, lets do it! Maybe I can still get a better deal out there, but I needed to get this started now, not later. She told me it'll take them about a half and hour to fill them, oh, so you have them in stock, yes we do, she replies. Okay, so went back outside and sat in the car with mom until she got impatient and told me that they should have it ready by now. Okay, so back in there.
A small line. That's fine, its probably not ready yet anyway. I get behind some old man. He turns around and looks at me, sees me smiling and just had to do it, flirt. This fellow talked to me for a good 10-15 minutes, compliments abound in between questions, he made me smile more, I didn't mind talking to him, he was just being friendly after all. Even more so that when it came up about my mom and I had told him where she worked, he said, hey, that's where I live! It was his château after all, yeah, and he was also only 38 years old. ;) He was a trip. Once I get up there, okay prescription not quite yet ready, a few more minutes, okay now it is. So I got, left there happy. But after this I may want to shop around, Finasteride is expensive, hope its worth it.
Get home, only have a half and hour til I have to be at work, so make an egg salad sandwich (my first thing to eat since early evening yesterday), then off to work I go, without the heigh-yo as I was getting tired. Got to work for 12pm, worked on a little bit of something until the truck arrived about 1pm, now so far the day, all morning the weather had been nice, gray clouds, occasional drops of rain, kind of cool out, well just as I told my mom, bet once the truck comes so will the heat, and sure enough it went from comfy to humid and hot. Bad enough I was tired, but also a bit weak from not eating enough and having blood taken from me, the only good thing is it was a small load of only 7 hundred something pieces, still took a good 2 hours to unload. By the time the truck was finished and I had taken my break, had about an hour and half to work out stuff, choose to work out snacks. Well, hours for this next week are cut drastically, I'm not scheduled to go back in until Wednesday, then the next day after that Friday, which of coarse is truck day, that doesn't give much time to get caught up on anything. We're getting really backed up, but why am I so flustered over this, its not like I'm the one in charge, guess its because I've always cared too much about getting things done when its something that I'm involved in, but have never been in control over how.
Anyway, work over with, my feet are dragging out that door, mom and Snickers were waiting for me in the car, Snickers as always so eager to sit on my lap the moment I get in, time to go home. Once home, mom had shown me that I got my food stamps card, okay good (we certainly could've used it earlier today though), just need to call to activate it. But we'd also got a letter from Time Warner (or internet provider) regarding something about us having to change our password because someone had tampered with our account, I still don't understand what this was about. Anyway, thinking it wouldn't take too long, I put some left over pasta in the microwave, start heating that up, get on the phone before I decide to hop in the shower and relax afterwards. Well, I was on the phone for over 40 minutes! It was crazy what I was being put through just for some stupid password that was supposedly changed recently without my consent, I didn't even know the purpose of this password. For what it seemed when it was all over it was just for my Time Warner email account that I didn't even know I had since I had never used it. The lady over the phone was difficult to understand, and me not understanding the steps she kept trying to walk me through at one point I got so flustered that I gave up and had to walk away from the phone, nearly crying because I was not only extremely pissed off but very tired. This event had me cursing more than I had probably the whole year (exaggeration, but it was a lot!). I scared my dog. Mom took over with talking to her, and when I cooled enough I came back over to try this again, creating a new password so that this whatever would be secure. What a @#$%ing waste of my time!
After that I took my shower, now after 6pm, an hour after I had gotten off of work. Took one Finasteride tablet, broke one of my estradiol tablets in half as the doc suggested, put that under my tongue, was fine with this one (as he said, the full dose was probably too much for me). I then finally sat down to relax, started typing out my day, but as much info as I had to enter in, mom kept asking me when I would be finished so we could watch The Walking Dead, so I saved what I had (about halfway through it all) then we sat down to watch it. Its after 1:30am now, just finished watching disc 1 like nearly an hour ago, got back to this log entry, will cruise around Susan's for a bit, then off to bed I guess.

I worked an eight hour shift from home while randomly dropping in here and checking out wigs and breastforms online (so scary and exciting) and was then rudely interrupted from this blissful pursuit by my SO's hours long tirade in response to my suggesting I might possibly maybe present as female in private at home at some point in the future. Since then I have been listening to science podcasts and trying to relax. So far unsuccessfully.

Got up early this morning, dolled myself up for going out, just to the post office, even though I wouldn't be going in. Mom had to pick up a package. We took Snickers along; she just loves the buh-bye rides. I walked around outside with Snickers for a few minutes while mom was inside. Then back home again. As we were getting ready to go into our apartment mom said, those construction guys were checking you out. "I know", I replied, "that was the point in wearing this pretty dress". ;D She's like, oh geez, she's not only conceited, but she's a ho too. I just grinned.
That reminds me as we were leaving to go to the post office earlier and were pulling out onto the road we got to talking about how'd I'd been if I were born female bodied because I had made mention when we drove past all the construction guys that've been working on our apartment complex (they were sitting around taking a break before getting started, and a few so happened to look as we drove by) how I should take Snickers for a walk past them later wearing my new dress (the white one with the red and black floral pattern), there'd probably been a good chance I'd been a tease or probably knocked up more than a few times, because I told her if it weren't for me being so shy my whole life, introverted most likely only because of being uncomfortable in my body, I would have been very comfortable in a female body, perhaps too much, I think I would have been a completely different person than I am now. Probably best I was born the way I was, for my own good.
Because despite being shy, there is a naughty, but playful side to me that relishes in attention and I do make small or subtle suggestions of wanting it with a flirty smile or subtle gesture just for a look or compliment, and the result is, I get it. Nothing else comes of it, so what's the point? Well, it makes me happy, gives me a little bit of a confidence boost. I never used to be this way, I'm thinking since much of my strongest feminine changes happened so recently, and having lived this life so long now I'm finally starting to feel one with myself, that I've become comfortable where I'm actually opening up a little more. Not only that but since the start of this year suddenly my sex drive kicked in, something that I never really had before. Sure there was always horniness (this is only good if I want it, not when it does), but now its more that I desire to be with someone. Unlike much of my life before, I now find myself looking more (not just a quick glance and dismissing the thought an instant later as I used to) and getting aroused (not hard, more of a full body feeling) at the possibilities that play out in my mind. I feel like a woman more than ever (huge contrast to what I was feeling weeks ago). Oh, last night I was sitting there on our new couch watching the Walking Dead with mom and Snickers (she was just laying beside me) and was subconsciously caressing my own thighs, when I realized it, I thought, damn my legs feel so soft! I kept on doing it. Too bad though I didn't have someone else there to caress them for me. ;D
Did my stretches, and did take Snickers out to throw out the trash, and yes in that pretty dress, but didn't walk passed any of the guys out there, I was just kidding after all, but anyway, dumpster was the opposite direction. Sat down to the internet, decided to relist my cross-stitches again on ebay, lowering the prices to something more reasonable that I could still feel satisfied with. That took a while. Now, maybe this time something will actually sell. Yesterday when looking at all of the pics I have on Picasa I decide to check out the trash bin, hadn't yet since I'd used this service, and woah, everything I trashed a few weeks ago was in there, I didn't think that they'd still be available, didn't realize they'd had to have been permanently deleted in order to really be gone, so restored everything that I thought I had completely deleted. This was good because I had a topic of my own for my cross-stitches at Sprite Stitch that after I had deleted (just merely trashed) all of my photos, well every image link got broken, so I thought because it'd take so long to individually create new links to newly uploaded pictures, that being so much work that it'd be better to start over again with a fresh topic instead, but no need to worry, everything is restored and back the way it was, mostly (still a lot of broken links though, ugh, I make so much unnecessary work for myself).
Getting hungry, will be making Sloppy Joes for lunch.
Okay, so the rest of the day I pretty much stayed off the internet. Mom and I went out, first to Walmart, only got a few things there, mostly we just needed to get out. After that hit up the Goodwill. I tried on several tops, none of those fit, what a shame, but also a bathing suit, two-piece with built on skirt around the bottoms. Hey, now that actually works, top didn't fit though, my boobs are too small, but the skirt thing would work, it covers, conceals pretty well. This is something to think about, at a later time, still not ready for it yet, mentally and especially bodily. While I was in the fitting room mom was out there finding more things for me, kept coming back with something else for me to try on. We each left with only one thing each, hey, better than nothing, and I got another cute dress. Hit up the grocery store real quick because mom was in the mood for watermelon, then home.
Watched The Walking Dead season 3 disc 2, and even though both tired continued to disc 3 watching the first episode on that one because we were really into it and just had to know what happened next. Also did laundry late last night too in between episodes. Finally went to bed after 2am.

With the site down for a bit I had kept my day yesterday typed out in notepad, sitting, waiting, ready to go, here is was:
Today, woke up late, been having pain under my left armpit (odd, it comes, I feel it for a few seconds, then it fades away, a few moments later comes back and repeats), also right leg, feels like muscle cramp, its been several hours for both of those feelings. Also been having diarrhea the past two mornings, since starting the finasteride (but I've also been eating ice cream, will just have to back off the dairy to be sure what's causing it), hopefully its not causing this nor those other two symptoms. Can't think of what'd be causing that pain in my pit, the leg pain is probably from stretching though, but then maybe they both are. Actually, just stretched my arms up, shoulder is tight and hurts a little when stretching, think I pulled it too much yesterday, must've caused some damage in my armpit as well from it. As is, from a fall I took damage from a couple years ago falling on the side of my ribs onto the corner of a cinder block, once healed up one thing I've noticed is that I can't stretch my left arm out as far as my right, it just won't do it as much, I think I tried too hard.
Took Snickers for a walk, was out there in the sun too long, and that dingbat won't go into the shade unless I force her to, started feeling sick from it so had to drag her back home. Dog don't make any sense, she's panting and breathing hard, gagging even a couple times but stands in direct sunlight just so she can sniff spots on the ground. Its going to be bad today, as was late last night doing laundry, it was so humid it was hard to breath. What I like about warm / hot weather, being able to dress light and comfy, what I hate, when it gets too hot, its very uncomfortable, then I wish for winter again.
Snickers is sleeping on the couch right now, we played for a little bit with all of her tennis balls (all 14 of them, she just keeps finding more) but I'm kind of tired today, lack of energy, plus hot, stuffy in the apartment, did have the air on but keeping it on too much will result in a way too high a bill, so every once in a while turn it on for a little bit. Can't open the windows or patio door because the air is hot, no cool breeze today. See problem with these places around here, all of them have these super high ceilings, that's a lot of unnecessary space to cool off, plus carpet, this don't help either in the summer, can't even feel coolness on your feet that hard flooring would offer.

Tried to gather up some energy so put on my new dress that I got from Goodwill yesterday to make me feel better, it worked a little bit. It buttons around the back of the neck, back comes down really low, and interestingly its got these really deep pockets on both sides in the front. I like it.

Was going to cross-stitch today, but not ready yet, my whole heart has to be into it otherwise it'll feel like work and I won't enjoy it. Got some ideas but still uncertain what to do next. Probably get something to eat, I'm hungry. Maybe get off my butt for a little while before my ass cheeks fall asleep.
My doggie and I played for a bit, today, bowling.

Later I did start cross-stitching, something cute, kinda little girlish, but I kind of like it. Was thinking of stitching on a baby onesie but that wasn't working out for me so back to the black aida.

Mom and I sat down and watched The Walking Dead again, disc 3 finished, two more to go. Time for bed.
Okay, now all caught up. So far today. Got up, took estradiol, showered, pulled body hair, got dressed, plucked facial hair, took Snickers for walk, ate breakfast, put on cartoons - Thundarr the Barbarian (watched several episodes), mom left for work. I then thought up something new to play with Snickers that while it didn't turn out to work as much as I was hoping it was fun trying it, involving making a curved ramp up our entrance door with one of her plush toys dangling down, the object for me to roll the tennis balls toward and up that ramp in an attempt to hit the jingling plush, while it all was very possible because I did manage to hit it once, Snickers was really good today in blocking my shots. She got pooped out, good, now she can rest comfy and dream nice dreams while I get on the internet for a bit. Yeah, so far that's pretty much it. Still getting diarrhea in the morning, not sure if its the finasteride or something I'm eating, its always so hard to tell when taking new medication how you're going to react to it, but otherwise I don't feel any different. I wonder how long before it kicks in, that and the estradiol before that thing between my legs stops trying to stick up, especially in the mornings. One positive I noticed this morning though, after pulling leg hairs, didn't leave those huge red bumps that usually leaves them looking like plucked chicken skin, so my legs look and feel a lot smoother than they had in a while.
Got email from my doctor,
"Hey Megan, your labs look fine, you can go forward with your therapy. You did have a mildly elevated TSH. This is the hormone your pituitary gland puts out to control your thyroid which makes hormones responsible for your rate of metabolism. So if you are tired and sluggish and have been for most of your life, this may be why. I would like to investigate this further with more labs to pin down if you have a thyroid problem and if so, what kind. Do you have insurance to pay for these labs? We will look at free t3, total t4 and thyroid antibodies."
So gotta have that checked as soon as possible, get it out of the way and find out what's wrong with me and how best to deal with it. Thanks to Evelyn again for buying that cross-stitch, so now I have the money for these tests. From this point onward in my life, my health comes first. If I'm healthy I'm more guaranteed to be happier.
Later did a little bit of cross-stitching, made dinner, sat down to watch The Walking Dead season 3 disc 4. Didn't go to bed until after 4am though, not sure why but I just did not want to go to sleep yet even though I was tired.
Today, woke up late, been having pain under my left armpit (odd, it comes, I feel it for a few seconds, then it fades away, a few moments later comes back and repeats), also right leg, feels like muscle cramp, its been several hours for both of those feelings. Also been having diarrhea the past two mornings, since starting the finasteride (but I've also been eating ice cream, will just have to back off the dairy to be sure what's causing it), hopefully its not causing this nor those other two symptoms. Can't think of what'd be causing that pain in my pit, the leg pain is probably from stretching though, but then maybe they both are. Actually, just stretched my arms up, shoulder is tight and hurts a little when stretching, think I pulled it too much yesterday, must've caused some damage in my armpit as well from it. As is, from a fall I took damage from a couple years ago falling on the side of my ribs onto the corner of a cinder block, once healed up one thing I've noticed is that I can't stretch my left arm out as far as my right, it just won't do it as much, I think I tried too hard.

I think this is a good idea...online jobs are just such harsh competition, you know? And sometimes the risk of scams as well.
Man if you want I could send you a sample resume I used to structure my own. I was hunting for 6 months and didn't get a single bite, I revamped my resume according to this sample, sent it to 7 places - I got a call back in 1 day from one place that has now hired me, another called me back after a week and I am working with them as well.

^Good series. Haven't enjoyed something this much since Buffy and Angel.
Not much gone on today worth typing anything huge about. Walked dog, played with dog. Sat around on internet, answered some messages. Watched Thundarr the Barbarian while cross-stitching. Tonight was going to watch the last bit of The Walking Dead only to be disappointed that we already had, disc 5 is only extras. Dammit. Oh well, may as well watch those.
^My shortest daily blog yet.

I got up at 10am. Ate breakfeast, took a shower, checked the mail to see it was already checked. 10:30am I logged into WoW(world of warcraft) and played it pretty much until I left to work at 2:21pm. Then at arrival at 2:23pm, I clocked in, and waited until it was 2:30 to start. I was sent to pulling rips (wood-work in a factory) of which I trained a new guy as well. at 5:30pm was break when I ate a sandwich, carrots, chips, soda, and a zebra cake. I finished about 13 minutes before we went back at 6:00pm. Then I continued doing the same thing until I think 7:50? of which I switched jobs with the new guy so he could try mine as I did his. That went until 8:20pm of which was a 10 minute brake. I went to the bathroom, but nothing really came out:/ I waited basically until 8:30pm to go back just on my iPod. I continued my rip pulling until about 9:10pm, when I went to get new gloves, and the superviser asked me to go stack 1 1/2" boards with another. Did that together until about 10:40 when she moved to a different spot and I did it on my own until 11:00pm when my shift was done. Gathered my things, went to punch out, got picked up by mom to take me home, got home. Logged into WoW again, playing until about 1:55am and then logged onto this site and posted this topic in about 6 minutes, finishing at 2:18am.
Idk why, but I can remember things in extreme detail.

Who, me? What did I do today? I'm so glad that you asked.
I woke up this morning and my house was roasting hot, so I wandered around stark naked throwing open every window upstairs and down. Last night I put an icepack wrapped in a towel in my puppy's bed; I think he was so comfy chillin' on his cold compress that he declined to get up with me. (Portland is not supposed to be this hot!)
I did a really nice job on my makeup, smoothed my bangs with a flat iron, and braided my hair down my back. It's supposed to be hot again today, so I threw on a nice, light, purple polka dot dress with cap sleeves. Unfortunately, the nuns don't like to see my tattoos at the office, so I put on a sheer white blouse with black polka dots over my dress.
Before I left for work I spent a half hour with my puppy, Diablo, wandering around the backyard. I have a nice big half acre yard; I wandered among the fruit trees with a pole knocking down spider webs while Diablo inspected the perimeter for evidence of nighttime visitors. (Spiders freak me out; I knock the webs down every morning in summer so that I don't walk face first into them later in the day as I pick up fallen fruit from the ground.)
I'm at work now. It's a little dull. The good news is that over the weekend they cut down the giant tree that was blocking my window, so now I can see the beautiful courtyard outside. There's exotic grasses out there, and a variety of green summer trees. The occasional deer and coyote wander by. When it's not so hot out, I can open the window and let the warm summer breeze blow papers off my desk.
I do not miss that tree that use to block my view.
Thank you for this opportunity to babble about my morning. This feels good.
Kisses!

Barbie, you are such a PNW doll! I live just north of Seattle in the burbs and am enjoying this really non-typical summer weather too, hot as it is. I had often mused about how I'd like to be a fly on the wall at one of your pool games and catch the comments as you run the table on some of those macho guys.

I'll be at the Pacific Northwest Regional 9 Ball Championships in Lincoln City this October. I'm hoping for a dramatic win and a big payday. (Well, a couple thousand bucks, anyway.) I'll keep you posted.

Good luck Barbie! And be careful around those nuns they are dangerous, they used to beat my buckles with a ruler in Catholic school. Had to laugh when I first saw "The Blues Brothers!"

Okay, so far for me today, got up early, 7am to my alarm. Got ready for work, first, had to shower even though I did yesterday afternoon, my back has been incredibly oily the past few days (my hair even felt thicker when I was washing it), makes the back of my tops have a strong manly odor (ugh, when is this going to go away!?). Oh, forgot a detail yesterday, I have all these little red bumps all over my nose, like heat blisters maybe, probably getting too much sun, just kind of odd how all these years I've had clear skin then suddenly break out like this, how unsightly. After plucking hairs, both legs and face, getting dressed, putting on make-up, took Snickers out to do her business. Called my job because I wanted to be sure of the time I had to be in for, okay, not the usual 9am, but today at 2pm, I hate evening shifts, throws me off; never understood the point in retail of constantly changing schedules around. Got on the internet for a little bit, replied to some PMs. Basically just sat around doing nothing for a while when my mom had her turn at the laptop. Oh, okay so I'm bored, I hate waiting to go to work, that's the worst thing about working later shifts, the waiting, not being able to completely relax because I know I'm have to go somewhere soon. Decided to clean out my portion of the bedroom closet.
So folded or hung up any clothes that were just tossed in piles (not that bad really, its not like they were on the floor), all nice and neat now:

My other few belongings (excluding what I have on my table in the living room - my cross-stitches and laptop):

Got about 40 minutes now before I have to leave for work. Starting to feel tired. I hate waiting. I want to have my work day done so I can relax. Need to take Snickers out again in a little bit since I'll be gone for a while. :-\
Okay, mom drove me to work since she was on her way out to work as well. Was given housewares to do today. We are really backed up on freight now with me not being able to work enough days, hours cut, orders by higher uppers, oh well, so be it, guess we'll catch up on things sometime. But not anytime soon. Next week, same issue, only 3 days, 15 hours total for me, 10 cents above minimum wage. My boss lady said that only if I'd train to work register she could give me more hours then. Hmm, I have to think about it, that's not a position I'd like to be in, that's basically complete customer service in every way, plus stocking still. I need to do something else, this retail crap sucks and I've been doing it too long.
Truck comes in around noon on Friday, somehow I'm going to have to get over to my doctor early that morning and pick up the slip with my bloodwork order that I need, then shoot on over to my job probably immediately after. Since I didn't get home this evening until around 7:30pm I didn't do much with my time, took my dog out briefly, played with her briefly, got on the internet, started dinner, did a little bit of stitching, ate late, but gave half of my portion to my doggie and she already had 5 chicken legs before that and rice and veggies, she's a full, happy dog tonight. Answered some PMs, and now getting ready to take my dog out one last time before relaxing the rest of the night until I tire.

Thank you for sharing your morning. I enjoyed reading, like I was there with you. :)
Thanks Megan. It's nice to have you there. :)
Know what I did this morning? After I threw open every window in the house to let the cool morning air in, I pounced on my sleeping puppy and harassed him until he had no choice but to fight back. For a 7 pound fuzz ball, Diablo can be pretty darn fierce! After he showed me who's boss, Diablo and I wandered the backyard for 20 minutes, knocking down spider webs off the fruit trees and pooping. (Yeah, well, Diablo did all the pooping.) The doors on our raccoon trap were closed and some of the bait was missing, but no raccoon. I suspect mice must have stopped by for a nibble. It's just as well; I wasn't in the mood to murder and bury a raccoon this morning anyway.
I took extra care with my makeup before breakfast, setting off my dark blue eyes with vibrant green eye shadow. I like to look especially nice on Thursdays; it's fun to be the best dressed, glammed up girl in the pool hall on league night. I think it stings just a little more when the macho guys get creamed at the pool table by a Barbie Doll wannabe in 3 inch heels. :)
Just before I left for work, I spent 10 minutes thoroughly brushing out Diablo's beautiful hair. My partner, Patty, took him to the groomer after I left, and I wanted to make sure we weren't sending him with excessive tangles. Unfortunately, Diablo wasn't in the mood to be brushed, so I had to wrestle him to the ground and paralyze him with belly rubs to get him to cooperate. The horror!
*sigh* Now I'm at work. Three deer just wandered by my window with blackberry juice on their lips; obviously they just had breakfast in the massive blackberry patch behind the building. The sun is shining, the sky is blue, and all I can think about is ripping someone a new one at pool league tonight.
Time to turn on an audio book (I'm listening to "Stranger in a Strange Land") and do some bookkeeping... that's what they pay me for.
Kisses!

Very entertaining read Barbie.
Got up a little late this morning, but who cares, no where I need to be. Took my estradiol pill right away, then hopped in the shower. Got dressed, plucked facial hairs, then tied up the trash and took Snickers for a walk to unload it. Feels like rain today, while out walking just had a little bit of misting come down, not much. Once back at home got some breakfast, then got on the internet. Spent an hour cross-stitching, and now back on the internet again.
Mom had put on Apocalypto, good movie, and every time we ever watched it we always have the same conversations, this is that way every time we rewatch any movie. But at one point at seeing Jaguar Paw's pregnant wife Seven, at her belly moving, my mom said something about it and I replied saying how that's the one thing that will always sadden me most, that I will never be able to experience what its like to have a child growing and moving around inside of me, can never have children myself. Sometimes this bothers me. But then I think I have it bad, it must be so much worst for those born completely female and be unable to ever bear children despite having the same parts as any other woman, almost like a sick joke.
Mom left for work a little while ago. Don't know what I'm going to do with the rest of my day, guess I'll put on those cartoons I was watching, and everything else the usual. Snickers just nudged me, guess that's a hint that its play time.

Was cross-stitching again this afternoon, then put on some youtube music videos, while recording my stitching. Suddenly the power on my laptop went out. Crap! Waited a few minutes, powered back on, okay everything seems fine, probably overheated again. Enough of this, its about time I try to do something about that, so powered it off. Got my small screw drivers, started taking my laptop apart. Took me ages to get everything undone, they sure don't make it easy. Finally I get everything but the speakers, can't seem to figure out how to remove those so I can get the motherboard off, but eventually I did, oops something snapped off somewhere, seeing little tiny pieces of broken plastic, oh well. Holy crap look at all that dust! I've had this laptop since early 2010, hasn't been taken apart ever (because these things are a bitch to take apart and reassemble), that's quite a bit of years in collecting of dust. Probably why I can't run very many programs at once without it overheating and shutting down on me. Well, lets see what I can do to fix that.
I got the vacuum cleaner out, was about to use it, dammit mom, she never cleans this thing out after using it. Amazing the vacuum even works still as the whole container was packed tight as well as the hose too, all full of dog hair mostly. I was cursing up a storm cleaning it out. She's already done broken way too many vacuum cleaners over the years, we can't afford to be having to buy another one because she's too lazy to take the container off, open it and dump it after every use (only takes a few seconds). Once done with that, put on the bristled part and started vacuuming my laptop out, clearing it of the accumulation of bunnies in the making.
It was hard enough taking it apart, now the real fun part, putting my laptop back together again. I tried to hold back, really I did, but the cursing came and I was getting so antsy with agitation with parts not going back the way they were supposed to I wanted to just say to hell with it and do what I did with my last laptop (that one was dead when I had done it), throw it out against a tree or something, but I didn't. I held it together, eventually got it pieced back together. Hmm, what'd these few screws go to? Oh well, @#$% it. Went to power on. Tried again. Power button not working. Sighs. Okay, what could be the problem. I removed the closest panel to the back. Ah, something came undone. Surely this has got to be for the power button. Getting it to plug in and stay was a pain though. I think its okay now, lets try this again. Yep, powered on!
Only took me a few hours.
So I took my laptop apart, wow, that's a lot of dust!

The little Princess and I are going fishing in the Pacific again this weekend at Westport. The boat only holds six plus the captain and a crew of one. Last year no-one brought their lunch except us and there was a young woman who was pregnant aboard so at 1PM we shared our lunch with her and her husband. This year we're taking loads of prepared food just to be good scouts as the restaurants around there suck and the food is swimming in grease of unknown age and origin.
I grilled up a load of boneless chicken thighs covered in Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce, and made one of my killer potato salads. Before we head out the Princess is going to assemble several big sliced beef and pastrami sandwiches with sourdough bread to share on the boat because we know no-one will have the sense to bring anything. Last year an enormous whale surfaced close to us, I thought it was a submarine at first as Bangor Nuclear Submarine Base is not far off, it turned out to be Mrs. Moby Dick and she had a calf with her, we cut the engines and watched them do tail flips for half an hour. Here's my potato salad recipe:

Here's my potato salad recipe:
Potato Confetti Salad
1 Peel and cut 5 lbs. potatoes into approx. 1.5" pieces.
Steam until they are still firm but can be pierced through with a fork.
Place in large mixing bowl.
2 Add 4 - 5 stalks chopped celery.
3 Add partial bunch of radishes.
4 Add partial bunch chopped green onions.
5 Add small can sliced black olives.
6 Add 3 - 4 tablespoons sweet pickle relish.
7 Add several heaping tablespoons Mayonnaise.
8 Using a fork and a heavy hand mash and blend together.
9 Add salt and pepper to taste.
10 Add several teaspoons of apple cider vinegar to taste.
11 Add 2 teaspoons of mustard to taste.
12 Garnish with sliced hard boiled eggs, paprika and a sprig of parsley.
Note: Steps 6 - 11 will require some finesse to get the right consistency and flavor. Be careful not to overdue the vinegar and mustard, use just enough to give it a little tangy taste. You may want to adjust the salt, mayonnaise and pickle relish, best to creep up on the amounts tasting as you go!

A couple years ago I had to take apart my mom's laptop because the power cord was not only too giggly but was overheating and the smell of burning components inside of the laptop had made it become a possible fire hazard. I ordered a new part, took it all apart, took out the somewhat melted power thingy inside the laptop and replaced with new one. Was better after that. For a little bit. My mom's laptop had issues early on, sound in one speaker never worked (didn't realize this being why the volume never seemed to go very loud until much later on), webcam also overheated even when not in use, I had to cut the wires to that. It was a mess and while I was able to keep it going a little bit longer, it eventually just died. I've been sharing mine ever since with her.
Sounds wonderful Shan. I'd so love to see a whale in the wild like that. I never cook to any recipes, aside from quick meals, I do food the lazy way, store bought, but sounds delish. :)
Ooh, dark and stormy night, last night into the wee hours of the morning, lightning crashing, thunder rolling and rain coming down in sheets as thick as lead. Mom woke me up at some point, scared out of her wits, oh come on mom, its just thunder. Well I don't like it, she says. Boom after boom, bright flashes accompanying every explosion. She's like, how can you sleep through that? I don't know, I just do. And so after getting up to get a drink and pee, got back into bed and dozed off to the drummer in the sky.
Had to go to my doctor's office to pick up a slip for blood test orders this morning. But didn't rush out, figure we'll have enough time to get there, me run in and get it and get back before I have to go to work. We left out a little after 9, after I had made a call to be sure it was ready for me to pick up. Once there I rush in, tell the lady at the desk, she greeted me by name, same sweet thing that was there last time, and gave me the blood work paper. I asked her if I had to pay there or when I go to get it done. She said there. So she gives me the total, I forget exactly but it was around $240 something. Huh!? But he told me in email that it'd only be $70 for one of the tests and $100 for the other. She said it was for 4 tests. Well, I can't afford that right now, I don't have enough money. She apologized and said not to worry, we'll get it worked out, she'll get with the doctor once he comes in later. So took the paper and left kind of upset, but what could I do. Just have to wait and see what can be worked out. I can always call and pay over the phone once I come up with the difference for those other tests. Once home I checked that email again, $70 for two tests, a hundred for another, that only makes three total. But maybe I didn't understand the $70, that it could have been for each, not both tests, seems to add up to what she told me. Ah, oh well, will get to that later since I'm short anyway. No big deal, its not like its an emergency.
Just 10 minutes home, getting ready to eat something before going to work, mom tells me my store called. Oh geez, what now, truck came early, truck isn't coming until later, or truck not coming at all? I call back, old boss dude answers, I ask what's up, he tells me the truck is there now. Okay, well, I'll be in as soon as I can, half hour or so. I'm so tired of this being on call, never knowing for sure when to go in on truck days. I didn't rush out the door to work either, took my time, I was told originally noon, so I don't care if I'm a few minutes later than 11:30. Mom drove me in. Got to work, went to my locker, got my work clothes out that I left there, went into the restroom to change out of my denim capris and cute little floral dress, putting on rough, dirty clothes for the job to match. Oh, the good driver is here today, hadn't seen him in a while, this should go well then. Also, no sun really today, but it still did get humid. Got the truck done pretty quickly, good because I'm so backed up on HBC it'd take a miracle to catch up, get it all out, all of last weeks load and today's. Probably 5 u-boats worth of merchandise for that area, I got 1 full one done with the 3 hours I had to work it. Will just have to continue where I left off tomorrow morning.
Changed out of my work clothes, back into my pretty girly outfit. I told mom I'd be ready for about 5:10 when she had dropped me off, but I forgot when I told her that I wasn't going in for noon but 11:30, so figured save her the trouble of having to come and get me, I'll walk home. Bad time to walk, road is very busy, everyone trying to get home from work, all in a rush, some not paying attention. I press the walk button at the lights on the main road, a few minutes later get the signal, I step out slowly, watching out the corner of my left eye a car that appeared to be in a rush, and sure enough the jerk the moment her/she has a chance takes off to turn, not paying any attention that a pedestrian is there with the right a way to cross. Comes to an abrupt stop, as I had myself just an instant before thinking I was about to be run down, I muttered a curse word and kept crossing. I hate crossing streets, so much worst with traffic in 4 different directions, never know who'll not be paying attention and that could be it, one moment you're alive, the next, roadkill, alongside the squirrels and deer.
Good, mom didn't leave out yet to come and get me. I was worried she'd come early and we'd miss each other. Mom asked why I walked home, why didn't I call, she could've came and got me. Eh, too much trouble, by the time you got there I could've been home. Snickers is on the rag, time already? Uh, guess so, last time was what, December, January? More dealing with blood, oh well, that's what peroxide comes in handy for. Could've gotten her fixed long ago, even still, but both my mom and I don't like that idea much, so she bleeds a little here and there, it cleans up, and she is conscience of it too and tries to keep clean. Also she humps her plush toys and blankets, oh well, better than taking her female parts away just for our convenience. Only'd do it if it compromised her health, otherwise, she's an indoor dog, so its not like we need worry she's going to get knocked up and have puppies.
Mom returned the last videos we'd gotten from the library after she dropped me off at work, got some more, so guess we'll be watching some of those later. Actually she already got started while I've been sitting here typing up my day. Actual she fell asleep to the movie, Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, sounds kinda lame to me, I've only just been hearing it as background noise since I'm busy here, not ready to watch movies until I can pull away from my laptop for a bit. I can't multitask in watching a movie and do something else at the same time.
Okay, so end of the night is almost through, just finished watch the Man of Steel. Uh, yeah. Felt like I was watching some bizarre sci-fi movie with someone that looks like Superman but isn't. Only thing keeping me watching was just out of curiosity of how it'll turn out, but that's a one time deal there. Not good at all, can't think of anything redeeming about the movie at all. I could've spent quality time on here instead typing to a friend.

I had a similar computer problem last week, but the difference between me and Megan is that I gave up when I looked at the shape of the screws on my pc, and now I'm using the internet with a 2002 eMac. It's got a crt monitor, so everything gets jiggly if we run the microwave. I can use youtube, though, sorta, if I switch to 144p and let the whole thing load first. :laugh:
I'm pretty sure that what went wrong involves a lot of cat hair, but I don't think it's a total coincidence that the machines in my household always die in July. I'm still on the fence about whether to buy tools and parts and try to figure out what to do or just pay someone else to do it.
Today I mostly played neopets. I got really nervous this morning and spent a lot of the day both trying to figure out why and trying not to take it out on other people. We cooked from a recipe that was on a can of cannelini beans. It was a big can of pre-made tomato soup, a can of spinach, some noodles, the beans, and some onion powder and italian herb mix. We've made it before but I'm always surprised that beans and pasta can go together in anything.

Last time I had one I didn't eat and almost passed out lol I have a low blood pressure so yeah...

While showering this morning, once again noticing a lot of hair falling out of my head it started to upset me. Been taking the finasteride for 8 days now, since starting first few days diarrhea, after that super oily hair and skin which has also been causing me to smell like a man, zits started showing up on my nose and all over my chest several days ago, and head hair has been coming out in clumps, and since yesterday noticed my mood has declined, moving towards the negative. Okay, so read up some more on this stuff, shedding lots of hair at first is normal they say, still, don't like it because the only times I shed hair this bad are those times when not on the hormones such as long before ever taking them and that 2 years that I was off of them. What I worry about particularly, they say that the hair will grow back, but a thought I had, now that it got me to shed a ton, any regrowth will be reliant on the finasteride now, so will it just fall out again once I stop taking it and never grow back on its own therefore making me even more thinned out than I was before starting it, or will everything that was before ever taking it just go back to normal again?
I told my mom after she came to pick me up later after work that I was thinking of not taking it anymore, stop now before any damages from it become permanent. She told me that she noticed all the hair in the tub drain, got worried because it was lots more than usual. Also confirmed that I have been a bit snippy lately, this because I seemed to be in a bad mood for no apparent reason today when she'd notice I was barely talking and anything I was saying were abrupt like I was angry and past few days not smiling as much as I was at first. She kept telling me before that my hair was fine, and asking me if I was sure that I wanted to be taking this stuff, I wasn't sure myself, but figured give it a try and see where it goes. I know 8 days isn't long enough to see any positive results but still, do I really need to take it that bad, I don't think so. Is the vanity worth all the possible negatives? Besides the crap is expensive, the amount I spend each month on it I could be saving up for an orchiectomy instead, which I should be doing.
So at work, tackle HBC again, trying to knock down that mountain of boxes, got 69 boxes done yesterday, 99 done today, still twice of that count left to go. I was irritable, too much thoughts on what to do about whether to continue the finasteride or not and just general grumpiness and a depressive like state as if I wasn't even on the hormones, I would occasionally slam a box down or crush it hard when breaking it down, my aggressive side showing, and I was seeing it. That is not the state of mind I want to be in. Sure, there are days when one isn't going to be all peachy, but if this current behavior is a result of the finasteride I don't want it, nor the super oily skin and zits, I didn't have those all my years on estrogen and I'm not going to. Tonight I'm just going to take the estradiol only, should've been that way to begin with. I'm still wonder even if that's enough. Sure my mood overall is fine, not self destructive as I was while off of them, but what I'm not getting are the drastic results I was feeling while on the injections. My breasts swelled a little when first starting on the tablets, but that's it, nothing since then though, and still getting hard every morning, not as much or as long lasting but still am. I know the finasteride is also supposed to help with this, but if the estradiol is enough dosage then that alone should be enough, not sure yet if it is. My face does appear a little softer than those 2 months off of hormones, but still sprouting lots of chest hairs as if not on them, if I were on the injections I wouldn't be having any of this, probably just need more time.
Once mom picked me up after work we headed over to the grocery store, mostly because we needed to get quarters for laundry later, but picked up some food as well. Once home first I checked to see if I sold any of my cross-stitches, figured that, nope, not a single bite. Hmm, even at 1 and a half cents per stitch and its a no, well, that sucks. I took Snickers out, emptied the trash, then after made a late lunch for mom and I, chili with corn chips, then sat down to a movie. We had stopped at the Redbox machine before leaving the grocery store and picked out two movies, Robocop and another called Elysium. We watched the Robocop one, a remake of the kick ass 80's movie. Like most remakes, it was more of a reimagining, using the general idea but being very much different from the original source. But unlike some that disappoint, like Man of Steel or Total Recall, this one both of us actually enjoyed (Red Dawn was another good one), sure the original just can't be beat, but this one was actually pretty good, well worth watching, kept me enthralled. I don't know what was wrong with me today but that bowl of chili wasn't enough, I ate a plate of left overs from last night's meal as well and a package of peanut butter chocolate Poptarts as well as a package of chocolates ones too. After the movie was over, struggling to stay awake I went to lay down, get some sleep, mom did the same, and the dog. Woke up like an hour ago, 2 hours rest, still feeling tired but needed to get up, don't want to sleep too much so early. I don't go back to work again until Thursday, yeah, lots of days off, too many.
I stitched for a bit while mom and I watched Elysium, that was pretty good too. So, two good movies, not bad for a dollar something each. After that we started laundry. While whatever clothes were in the dryers we decided it was a good time to return those movies, took Snickers with us so she'd have herself a short buh-bye ride. By the time we got finished with all of the laundry it was after 1am.

We gathered blackberries (they're humongous this year) and took some small containers of them to the nearby shopkeepers. I dunno how comfortable they are with eating berries that grow by the freeway, but they work by and breathe the freeway air every day so I figure they're probably okay with it. Two different people said they were going to put them on ice cream, which I have to admit never crossed my mind and sounds tasty.
My roommate is housesitting and got permission to let us do laundry at the person's house tomorrow, which is going to save us at least ten dollars. And he's caring for a great dane that we get to visit, which is like disneyland for Leah. :)
Today was better than yesterday. I think I was unable to take seriously how much I was bothered by the maintanence guy leafblowing on the hill behind the house and the married couple upstairs screaming at each other about money, and the leftover fireworks people were setting off. None of that happened today. All the noise today was music and trains and the half-deaf neighbor hollering pleasantries.

I know mtf hrt is a different animal, but that description of finasteride effects sounds like pregnancy. I had clumps of hair fall out, my skin got unpredictable, I went up a couple shoe sizes, my mood was not exactly volatile but felt unfamiliar to me, and there were some other things I found surprising or difficult. I only bring up the similarity because the hair loss thing seems like a big deal and I wanted to say that all of mine grew back within months of the loss.
I just googled and apparently losing lots of hair during pregnancy isn't actually typical, and it usually happens postpartum. Not going to delete my comment though because now part of what I did today was finding reminders that hormonal changes can be super unpredictable. :laugh:

Well where do I start?
Flew home to Sydney today from Manila after a 4 week work assignment. 4,000 mile trip.
Survived Typhoon Glenda which hit Manila last week.
Made some good friends over there. Got feedback that I did a great job which was rather pleasing after butting in some very long hours.
Managed to avoid getting sick which is a major achievement.
Had a nice steak for dinner as I could not find any descent meat there. Yum.
About to crash as have not slept in 40 hours as did not sleep on the plane as it was quite bumpy however business class was comfortable.
zzzzzzzz.

Today is my lazy day. The last few days have been a whirlwind of activity and I'm ready for some down time.
Thursday night at pool league my team (Barbie Cues) creamed the other team! I played spectacular pool. We had a great time and turned a few heads.
Friday I took the day off from work for a couple of doctor appointments. A couple weeks ago I had some shortness of breath and dizziness. My doctor feared I might have a blood clot, so I've been subjected to a barrage of tests over the past week. Well, it seems that maybe my thyroid is a little over active. (Is that all? Great news!) It was no fun being poked, prodded, x-rayed, drained of 12 viles of blood, EKG'ed, scanned, and thumped with a little rubber hammer, but I'm glad to know that I'm generally healthy as an ox. There is still way too much fun to be had for me in this life; I have no time to be sick.
Yesterday, Saturday, my nine ball Scotch doubles partner and I got caught up in a doubles pool tournament. We annihilated the competition! We played 3 matches and won 2 of them by a comfortable margin. We are so going to be ready for the Pacific Northwest regional 9 ball championships in October!
Today I luxuriously slept in until 7:30. I woke up with my little puppy Diablo standing on my chest looking me in the eye as if to say, "Hey, human, breakfast! Chop, chop!"
Diablo and I have just whiled away the morning at the dining table. I put a towel on a dining chair and pushed it up next to my chair so that Diablo could lay next to me. It's a cool gray morning outside; the sliding glass door is open and the yard outside is beautiful. The massive lawn is perfectly mowed, the pear and apple and plum trees are heavy with fruit, and my belly is full of hot coffee.
I just finished transposing a song for guitar. Next I'll drag Diablo out back to check our raccoon trap. And then I'll sit down and write a nice long list of things that I feel grateful for.
A perfect morning!
Kisses!

You thoroughly entertain me Barbie with your day. Got a little laugh out of me with this...
My dog usually does the hint, hint thing. She'll so cleverly place a toy on floor, then lays down with face beside it. Give that whole, poor me, pathetic look as if, "oh, my life is so terrible, no one ever plays with me." How do they learn this kind of behavior?

I'm almost certain that if an alien race visited our planet and observed us with our dogs, they would justifiably assume that we are simply slaves to the little hellions. And so it is.

You know what I loved about my day? I embarked on a new adventure... learning to play piano!
My partner and I are learning to make music together. I'm learning to play guitar and she's learning to play accordion. We decided that we need a drum machine to keep the beat for us. Well, I thought that a digital keyboard would be much more versatile. A keyboard has all the drum beats we could desire, plus we can learn to play piano, and we can play with the other 500 sounds it makes other than piano. So Friday afternoon I bought a very nice Yamaha digital keyboard.
Today I set about teaching myself to play piano. I'm off to a pretty good start, I think. And I'm having a blast! The only difficult part I see so far is how am I going to squeeze in learning piano when I'm already consumed with learning guitar, practicing pool, and obsessed with hair and makeup? Well, if this dilemma is the worst of my problems, then I'm doing pretty good.
What I didn't like so much about my day is that I think I shot a raccoon half an hour ago. It was up one of our plum trees. I could see its beady little eyes in my flashlight beam. I took a shot at the little sucker; it sounded like it fell, but got caught up in the thick branches of the tree. I can't see it up there, and I don't want to try shaking it out of the tree tonight. If it's still alive up there, the last thing I need is to have a wounded raccoon land on my head. I'll just have to go looking for it in the morning.
It ain't easy being a raccoon.
Goodnight.

Today we hung out with a slobbery great dane, and we got laundry washed, and I went to a trans group at the local lgbt center that I haven't visited in at least a year. It was nice to be around other trans people in person, and I hope to figure out some way to wrangle the possibility of going again soon. I also played neopets and played with a real pet and figured out some more french.

Okay, so another day late post.
I wait too long I forget half of what I did. Cross-stitched. Did all the usual stuff. Last last night-early morning mom and I watched G.I. Joe: Retaliation on Netflix since they give you a free month to watch movies. Now while the first Joe movie had its disappointing things, I actually thought it was a fun watch, but this second one, well, it kinda sucked. Seemed I was watching more a ninja movie. Even less Joes than the first one and just lack of character, so blah. Oh if only they'd done these more 80s style. As I told my mom, the team of guys in Predator, now that is how the Joes are supposed to be, those characters were always how I envisioned G.I. Joe to be if live action.
I wasn't sure if I should make mention of it or not, but how could I not, so here goes...
Yesterday afternoon, a friend here wrote a PM to me that upset me to the point of tears. Said another here (whom doesn't post much, but they sometimes talked via email) had said some terrible things to her and that she would be leaving Susan's and that she was letting me know that it was goodbye. I thought I had done something seriously wrong, that maybe it was I that said or did something to hurt her, she reassured me that it wasn't me, still I couldn't help be cry. I felt like how others must've felt when I in the past had up and left, leaving them sitting, wondering, why, what did I do wrong. Now it was my turn. What could I do, or at least say to make her feel better? I don't know, but I don't want to know she's in pain and that I can't at least try to help her, and need her to know that there is someone that cares a lot. I still don't know why, but I do.
She doesn't think she is worth it, I think she is. Sorry, grown attached to you, can't help it, we've been talking (PMing) for nearly 5 weeks now, almost every day, sharing so much about each other, so if you are hurting, so am I. Also finally showed me pics of herself even though she hates how she looks. It took a lot of courage I know for you to show yourself as you are now, and I don't think any less of you, in fact by that it just made me feel even closer to you than before now that I have a face to see every time we talk. I feel very honored, thank you, even if that wasn't your intent. She, just like many of us, like myself before HRT, thinks she is ugly, and things are just seeming so hopeless for her. I do not think she is ugly, my mom even said she is good looking and even said how she thinks she will make for a very cute woman once she gets going with the process. She told me to tell her that, I did, as I'm doing again in this post. If you are reading this, just as with the PMs that I sent you, you have to believe this. You have so much potential girl, get the therapy, got on the hormones, you'll see. Once you get passed the worst of it, it'll get better.
If you need a break away, fine, its understandable, but again, there are others out there that care about you, you don't have to be alone in this. If you don't get back with me, take care my dear friend. And don't worry about my crying for you, those are selfless tears. Do right for yourself, you deserve happiness and to be yourself just as much as any of us do.

Washing equipment and vaccinating animals sounds really rewarding even if it's not exactly a birthday party.
Today for me was meetings and stuff, negotiations and decisions and a lot of words. My kid had a skills person come over in the evening so I was able to zone into the comptuer and think about grownup stuff without waiting until after bedtime. My longhaired cat gets poop stuck to his butt fur like once a month, and that happened today and I got him cleaned up. He's learned to recognize toilet paper, though, and isn't always friendly when I approach him with it. xD
I also did some sewing and I smoked tobacco for the third day in a row, which I'm uneasy about.

Yesterday has now passed. Again I'm late, eh, better late then never.
Had a headache much the day, a dull pressure at the front of my forehead, why, (something I ate, the heat, hormonal), I don't know, but it made me tired. Did a little bit of cross-stitching mid-day, intended to finish up my current project (have about an hour and a half more left before its completed) but was having trouble even keeping my eyes open, maybe I just didn't get enough sleep. I put on some music, dozed off for a bit on the couch, woke up shortly into the album looping and playing back all over again, got up and went to bed instead. Yeah, I must've needed the rest. Woke again to the sound of mom coming home from work and Snickers greeting her. Got up.
Earlier today before mom went to work we starting watching a new program for us on Netflix, 'Orange is the new Black', watched the first episode then. So shortly after mom got home we continued watching, two more episodes, leaving it at the start of episode 4. I really liked what they'd done so far with the transgendered woman, I think someone did their research well. Will leave it at that to avoid spoilage.
So yeah, with me not feeling too good today, I wasn't up for doing much, I wanted to, but some days are going to be like that.

Besides work, I watched UHF with my grandma, something I haven't seen in so long that it was great to see it again. I laughed so much. Went to work for 8.5 hrs, and came home where I've been on the forum all the time while listening to Weird Al's new album "Mandatory Fun" over and over XD

My SO and I went fishing in the Pacific off the Washington coast it was a nice day and the water wasn't too rough. I forgot to use sunblock and my already old, homely face got cooked. My spouse had the biggest Ling Cod on I have ever seen, she fought it for half an hour and got it up to the surface next to the boat, the fish was four feet long and the damned thing spit the hook just as the crewman was attempting to net it and pull it into the boat. We caught a lot of fish though. This morning the car almost didn't start, we drove the three hour trip home and stopped at the vet and picked up our Border Collie leaving the motor running then drove home and offloaded everything with the motor still running. I called the Subaru dealership as we have a 10 year 100,000 mile extended warranty on it bumper to bumper. They took it in and gave me a loan car. I got back home and we vacuum sealed all the fish fillets and got them in the freezer and we got a call that my wife's mom is dying, so I dropped her off at the hospital where she is still staying in watch with her brothers. Her mom made it abundantly clear that she didn't like me, so I decided to pick up the car from the dealership and go home. I'm in tears for my wife and her brothers, and I feel bad for their mom because I don't care if she never liked me I always loved and respected her and it's sad that she's dying. These last few days have been very hectic, I'm sorry but I just didn't have time for Calico and Alaina though I care for them both as I do most of you.

Wow Shan, did sound very hectic indeed. At least you both enjoyed the fishing trip, despite you getting sunburned. Sad though how it ended with your wife's mother in bad condition. Dying how? Why doesn't she like you? And even on her deathbed she's still going to feel that way, or you just staying away because she made it clear in the past that she didn't like you?

She's 90 and has congestive heart failure among a dozen other age related problems. She doesn't like me because she's just a really nasty old crotch, I've always been nice to her and have been treated like a dog turd by her. She is just one of those unloving types of people who hates everyone, I feel sorry for her because it can't be fulfilling living your life like that. I'm staying away because if I was there paying my respects she would say that I am there just to gloat, so I don't want to spoil her last few hours on earth. Anyway, it's really sad and I feel bad for my spouse and her brothers though I know that they will be relieved that it's over.

That's pretty heavy, Shan. My day was much less emotive. Maybe that's a good thing, sometimes. Dentist appointment, teeth still work fine. Wrote some code, had lunch with some friends, handled a couple of trouble reports, rode the bike home, did laundry, installed a CO detector. Oh yeah... wrote a whole lot of responses in various threads in the forum which I didn't post. I do that a lot these days.

Always a good plan especially if you have a gas furnace, it may have been the most important thing you did yesterday.

Its a shame that some people waste so much energy on hating. Will leave it at that, as its not my place to say any more. Feel bad for your wife though, and her brothers whether their mom was good to them or not. I've never lost anyone close to me yet, and so much as I don't ever want that time to come, it will at some point, and it will devastate me especially if its my mom, unless its me that goes first, then the sadness will be the other way around.

Yesterday I finished up the cross-stitch that I was working on.

And well, did basically nothing much the day. Mom and I watched 2 more episodes of Orange is the new Black, late last night. Oh, before going to bed last night I suddenly got a hair up my ass to cut my hair, my bangs actually, I don't know why, I just did it. Some girls look good with bangs, I do not. Maybe I shouldn't have did it myself, but it was one of those impulse things. Oh well, it'll grow back. I'd show a picture but I really don't like it.

Uh you cut your own hair? I dunno if that's a good idea hon, but like you say it's hair and will grow back. Email me a photo and I'll give you an honest opinion.

Yup, I've been MIA for a couple of days. Life is crazy busy with fun stuff going on. Now that I'm teaching myself to play piano, I feel as though I'm running like a mad woman from one hobby obsession to the next. Between learning guitar, learning piano, keeping my beautiful hair healthy, practicing at the pool table, and playing/hanging out with the puppy... yikes! I need 10 extra hours in my day.
For many years the only eyeliner I would use is MAC Fluid Liner; that stuff is amazing! About a year ago I decided to try Clinique's gel eyeliner. It works pretty good, but I realized over the weekend that the problems I've been having with my contact lenses over the past year or so is related to the Clinique liner. I'm back on MAC's eye liner and I'm LOVING it!
I had so much fun dolling myself up this morning. The weather has cooled down for a few days in Portland, so I put on my favorite tight little pink sweater, 3/4 sleeves and scoopy neck. I did my blue eye's up in smokey green shadow with a perfectly fine boarder of midnight blue liner. I'm feeling girly in the extreme this morning!
My puppy, Diablo, was sort of low energy this morning. He wasn't interested in running around the backyard or playing in the great room. I tried to spend a few minutes practicing at the piano, but Diablo kept poking me in the leg with his nose, trying to get my attention. So I sat on the couch with my feet up and Diablo in my lap, and we quietly meditated for about 15 minutes together. Diablo seemed perfectly content after that; I suspect he just wanted a little tender affection. He's so cute!
Now I'm at work. I have the window next to my desk open so I can listen to the rain and enjoy the cool summer breeze. I have a big day ahead, so I'd better get to it. I'll be listening to Isaac Asimov's "I Robot" on audio book while I work today. (Great book!)
Kisses!

Poo poo. I cut my own hair all the time. In fact, the last time I went to a salon to have my hair done was in 1996. Yup, I even cut my own bangs.
Bangs are hot, Megan! There are a million and one tutorials on how to cut your own bangs (and do it well) on Youtube. Don't despair. Look at many pictures. Pick a style that you want to shoot for. Take your time. Go really, really slow. And whatever you do, DON'T CUT THEM TOO SHORT!
(Don't hold the scissors horizontally; make sure that you hold them vertically and just use the tip of the scissors to cut a very small bit of hair at a time. Take your time!)
Above all else, have fun.
You go girl!

We had a little thunder and lightening up my way along with a big downpour, my Border Collie can hear the thunder in the far off distance long before we can and he get's a little worked up and pants excessively. Perhaps Diablo had heard some thunder far off. I also think dogs can pick up on rapid barometric pressure changes and they react to it. They say if your dog ever gets really weird acting we may be about to have a big earthquake.

A detail I forgot yesterday, after walking Snickers, but still 20 feet or so from entering our apartment, this guy is coming up the hill with his dog (big dog), and its not on a leash. He said it was okay, his dog don't take interest in other dogs. Still I protectively kept Snickers near because she was refusing to want to go into the house, thinking she wanted to go over and meet this dog. Anyway, the guy leashes his dog so we'd feel safe and we draw nearer. Snickers sniffs the other dog, then all it does is merely turn its head to look at her and she starts yelping and dashes back, bumping her head against my knee really hard, acting like she just got attacked, but the other dog didn't do anything to her. Poor girl, she wants so bad to be able to interact but still that dog that tried to kill her back in North Carolina left a scar that runs deep, traumatized her. She didn't mind the guy's attention though.
So, as I figured, the point in him following me up was to meet me, yep, and so the questions came, where you from, how do you like it here in Texas, what do you do for work, how old are you (I looked early twenties he said, but then after I said how old I'd soon be, he's like oh, then we're the same age!),blah, blah, blah, oh and I look so strikingly similar to some 90s pop singer, I completely forgot her name shortly after he told me.
So anyway he asks my name, then tells me his initials, as well as name. Okay, nice to meet you, guess I'll see you around then. Oh geez, I think. Okay Snickers lets get inside, too friggin hot out here. By the time I got in the house I didn't remember his name nor initials, that was just less than a minute after he introduced himself, guess I didn't care to, not important. Not like he were ugly or creepy or anything, just didn't interest me.
Okay so that was yesterday. Today Snickers and I walk down the hill from our place, so this guy is outside with his dog (in the field near the lame ass dog park), I thought about walking another way, but I can't be avoiding my usual routes because some dude takes an interest in me. I was hoping he didn't notice me since I didn't see him look my way, he probably saw me before I did him and pretended he didn't until we were almost passed. Then its like, Hey Megan! Still he couldn't get over how much I looked like this singer chick he was telling me about yesterday, I think he said, Alanis Morissette (?). Anyway I know her name began with an 'A', so today I looked "popular female 90s pop singer"

Yeah, that's gotta be the one, I can see the similarity, long face, dark hair, her smile is much like mine. Never heard of her anyway (which was another reason he thought at first that I was very young, hey, I didn't get into music then), but the music which I only briefly loaded up to hear is familiar but not something I care for.
Then he asked if I didn't mind if he walked with me, so he got the other dog, this one I know by name, Buttercup (as in Princess Buttercup from The Princess Bride, his ex-girlfriend's dog whom lives there, this he told me later). So we walked up another hill towards where my mom works, he's asking questions, and telling me how pretty and natural I am, asks me about these two bracelets I'm wearing, if I made them myself, oh no, but I didn't give him details. Gets to telling me how if I'm not working or not making much how I can do really well selling crafts if I'm into any of that kinda stuff. I told him I cross-stitch, but they aren't easy sells. Then he was telling me how he does necklaces with pipestone (I had to look that one up when I got home) and started telling me how he does marijuana. Uh, no sorry, not into that stuff, I don't drink, smoke, nor do drugs, and I don't hang out with anyone that does, I needed to make that clear with him. He respected that, just asked if we could walk a little longer together then after the he'd go back and if we can't hang out at least can say hi when we see each other.
Snickers did not like walking beside Buttercup at all, she was trying to keep so much distance that she kept trying to walk out into the road (not a busy one), but I had to tell him that Snickers wasn't comfortable so we stopped. He complimented me some more, a little more conversation that was mostly him talking. Again, he wasn't a creep or anything, seemed nice enough despite being a hippie pot smoking ex-alcoholic. Nothing against that for others, but not for me, my standards are quite different. So after he left Snickers and I continued our walk, I didn't intend to walk so far because it was already getting quite humid out, but I figured out of decency I didn't want to be rude to this fellow so only walked as far was we did because he wanted to get to know me. Maybe I should've just been rude, that used to work for me, but I'm not like that anymore.
Anyway, after she did her business we took a short cut home through where we used to live, the first apartment we moved into when we got to Austin to get home quicker, I was getting thirsty and sweating too much. I would have liked to avoid this guy again, but the shortest route is passed the apartment he was staying at. So once again we're almost passed and he's on a cell, well he either must've told whoever was on the other end to hold or to call him back because he calls out to me and comes rushing over, said he had something for me. So he goes into the trunk of his car and fishes through a box, chooses something of many that he had, gives it to me. What is it? I question him. Its a pipestone necklace. To not be rude I accept it, thanking him, he said that if for some reason I don't like it I can always give it to someone else. Then he was telling me about some nature trails around here, I told him I had walked one before, but didn't feel safe walking along them again, kinda isolated, woman, smallish dog, not safe. He's like well, this part of Austin you know is a crime-free area. I'm like, uh, no place is crime free. But he offered that if I ever wanted to we could go hiking along them together. That he was strong, he'd protect me, saying this in a boastly manly way, gesturing his fist to his chest. I couldn't help but chuckle inside regarding that.
Then he starting talking more about energy and nature, that sorta stuff, and I can't remember what brought it up that he made mention of his ex-girlfriend that lives there. She's an older lady. Says he comes over once in a while to help her out (I bet, I think). And how he stays friends will all the girlfriends he's had. Uh-huh I think. Goes on more about why and how its good for people, karma and whatnot, and starts getting into closeness and how people need that, the contact, some crap about electrons, I don't know, but I could see where this was headed. Yeah, screwing. I'm not that way I tell him. But still he couldn't help in telling me how pretty I was and how I seemed such a nice person. Finally after a bit more chatter we say our good-byes, see you around. Okay, Snickers lets go! She and I head back home.
Once home I take out that necklace out of the clear tube it was in to check out it, hemp rope with a long reddish color stone tied to the end of it. Eh, its not me. I knew it wasn't when he gave it to me, either way being as to why he gave it to me, I should have said no thanks. Oh well. I don't wear necklaces, don't like the feeling of something around my neck and its a bit heavy. Keep, or give back? I wonder. I told my mom about my encounter, summed it up, and she's like uh-huh, sounds like a lazy ass to me, that's why he keeps in good with all his exes, so he'll always have someone to take care of him. As she has gotten older she has come to a point in her life that she can't stand men anymore, not that she's into women, just men disgust her sometimes. But I agree with her regarding what she said about him because I got the same vibes.
Again, nothing against how anyone lives their lives so long as they aren't hurting anyway. Alcohol, drugs, sex with multiple partners, whatever, so long as it don't affect me. I'm transsexual after all, but that's why I keep to myself, so it don't affect others that may disagree with it.
That's it so far today, that one event that prompted me to type up so much.
So, as I figured, the point in him following me up was to meet me, yep, and so the questions came, where you from, how do you like it here in Texas, what do you do for work, how old are you (I looked early twenties he said, but then after I said how old I'd soon be, he's like oh, then we're the same age!),blah, blah, blah, oh and I look so strikingly similar to some 90s pop singer, I completely forgot her name shortly after he told me.
So anyway he asks my name, then tells me his initials, as well as name. Okay, nice to meet you, guess I'll see you around then. Oh geez, I think. Okay Snickers lets get inside, too friggin hot out here. By the time I got in the house I didn't remember his name nor initials, that was just less than a minute after he introduced himself, guess I didn't care to, not important. Not like he were ugly or creepy or anything, just didn't interest me.

My gym membership finally started up again so today marks the start of a exercise/diet program so that I can help things along when I get my first testosterone shot sometime in October. I went on the treadmill for 25 minutes alternating between resistance 8 and 9 and focused on my legs for weight training. Greek yogurt and a banana make a good post workout meal. I should do this daily considering that I have no job and I feel so much more optimistic thanks to that endorphin rush.

So day before yesterday I finally got back to emailing an ol' friend, a lady that I used to work with back in Edenton NC, she'd also helped us out, driving us to the airport the day we were to move to Austin TX. She'd always been the only one there that I felt close to, like a friend, but never at the time felt confident in saying it. See, at the time while I was there, she was the only one that I could actually talk to and feel comfortable with, also she and my mom got along too, and Snickers loved her (she was always really good with my Snickers), she didn't put on airs and always seemed so genuine, yet I still considered her just a coworker, but a good one. I was afraid to call anyone friend in the fear that if I felt I got too close somewhere down the line I'd lose them. This also why I could never tell her that I was trans either, I wasn't sure how she'd react.
But during the couple months that I was going through my hormonal crisis (when I had first come back to Susan's) I hadn't talked to her. Well, now I told her everything, I couldn't hold back anymore, as it was every time we talked via email or even in person the 3 years that I was there working with her I always felt I had to hold back, that I had to omit so much in any conversations with her. I was scared that she wouldn't accept me. Silly me, I should've known her better than that. She wrote me back yesterday and she's okay with it. In fact she gave me hell for making her worry for not getting back to her all that time. She in turn told me some sensitive matters about herself, after I read what she said about herself I started crying.
Of all the friends I've ever had, I've had her the longest, but I don't even think I realized how strong it was until today. I think we'll talk more often now, now that I don't feel I have to hide anything anymore. I won't overburden her with everything transgender, but at least now I can be me completely and that she won't think any less of me for it.
And at the end of her message she wrote as always, "Love Whitney". That is true friendship there. She brought tears to my eyes. I thought by telling her the truth about me that I'd lose her, I was worrying for nothing.
I hadn't done much of my stretching, kinda laid off of it for a couple weeks, but last night feeling sluggish and tired I decided that maybe I should. I'm on the hormones again so I don't think I need to worry about my body becoming masculine as a result of exercise. I felt better after I did. And what's nice is I still retained any flexibility I had gained from where I'd left off weeks before.
Mom and I watched some more of that Orange is the new Black, eh, I don't think we'll watch it again. At first it was something different, and was interesting, but with the past few episodes with so much put on the whole sexually content (pussy this, pussy that) its a bit too much. Every once in a great while, fine, its a prison show, but its to the point of unnecessary, okay so it goes on, but its not something I want to see or hear that much of, get passed that raunchy stuff and back into the actual story.

Got up too early today, an hour before my alarm was set to wake me. I tried getting back to sleep, but couldn't. After a half hour I got back up, took a shower, may as well get ready for work now. Raining this morning, rather hard too. Need the umbrella for sure. About 5 minutes away from the apartment, nearly halfway to work...@#$%! I forgot to take my morning estradiol tablet. Oh, well too late now, will just have to take it when I get home, I'll survive until then.
Worked out HBC today. Sometime early afternoon a woman comes up to me while I'm working out mouthwash, asks me if I work there.Yes, I do. So she bends over and says to me, "I don't mean to bother you but there's this black woman (she overly stressed this part) in blue that's going around the store asking people for money. FYI (she actually spelled that out)." Oh geez, I think, god forbid that this stuck up rich woman (my assumption, either way didn't matter, but that's how I saw her) has to shop in an unsatisfactory environment. Oh no, a beggar, maybe she's homeless, ah, get that filth out of here! I shrug as a reply and continue working. She walks away, since I didn't pay her any more mind have no idea how she reacted to my not giving a ->-bleeped-<-. So what if someone, whatever their color is asking people for money, I mean if its really bothering you, tell her to get the ->-bleeped-<- out of your face, or go to the manager with your bitchin'. I mean, what the hell did she want me to do, escort her out? Its a city, all kinds of people, so long as she's not causing any harm to anyone or stealing, then let it be. Maybe, just maybe she wanted to buy something and didn't have enough. And oh my god! Hey, guess what, there's a transsexual in your midst too! ;D I so much wanted to say something shocking like that, but better to hold my tongue, but I'm sure her response would have been what I think it would've been.

Eh, not too much, but still pissed me off.
Well, started on another cross-stitch this evening, this from Werewolf the Last Warrior on the NES.
(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-6HZL4OMA1F0/U9G7WSZeeoI/AAAAAAAASbs/ShLGDTJH32k/w98-h70-no/5x7+-+Werewolf+the+Last+Warrior+-+wolf+rage.png)
Its a smaller one (low stitch count) but pretty cool looking. So far got all of the darkest brown color done, took 2½ hours. I figure it'll be about that much more to finish up the rest.
Played with my doggie a bit this afternoon, just throwing and bouncing balls against the walls. Then did some stretches because after I got off of work I was tired, like nearly falling asleep (I almost went to bed, stretching was better), it woke me up, a little bit.
Having a little bit of anxiety tonight. Worrying about a friend. Plus that skin condition that Snickers had that mom thought cleared up seems to just have moved to other spots. Damn vet never got back to us on that, its all about shots to them, where the money is made. Think when it comes time maybe we'll take her somewhere else next time.

Am I ever sleepy. I just got home from pool league. My team smoked the other team! I played 6 games and won 5 of them. In the end we won 15 games to 9. We had a great night.
I love being at the pool hall. So many of the guys seek me out and track me down just to hug me and chat me up. I have a lot of fun being the fun, flirty Eight Ball Barbie Doll that the boys just want to be around.
Okay, to the shower. I'm so ready for bed. Nighty night.

Quote from: Shantel on July 23, 2014, 09:44:01 AMI had a leaky gas stove for years at my last apartment and it gave me headaches and dizziness, and I'd often wake in the middle of the night gasping and feeling like I was going to pass out. I complained to the landlord a number of times and they would come round and inspect it visually and tell me I was imagining things, even though the smell they add to the gas lines was very obvious. I didn't know what else to do, so I just pushed my bed up to the window and kept it open and lived with it. Eventually there was a city inspection and the inspector freaked out and they replaced the tubing that day and asked me if I wanted to take legal action. I did not, but my headaches and other problems cleared up almost immediately, within days at the most. I'm still both angry and relieved when I look back on it. That stuff is serious.
Always a good plan especially if you have a gas furnace, it may have been the most important thing you did yesterday.
What we did today was go look at an apartment and fill out paperwork. We also refamiliarized ourselves with the surrounding neighborhood a little, and I'm pretty psyched about possibly living there. :)

I had a leaky gas stove for years at my last apartment and it gave me headaches and dizziness, and I'd often wake in the middle of the night gasping and feeling like I was going to pass out. I complained to the landlord a number of times and they would come round and inspect it visually and tell me I was imagining things, even though the smell they add to the gas lines was very obvious. I didn't know what else to do, so I just pushed my bed up to the window and kept it open and lived with it. Eventually there was a city inspection and the inspector freaked out and they replaced the tubing that day and asked me if I wanted to take legal action. I did not, but my headaches and other problems cleared up almost immediately, within days at the most. I'm still both angry and relieved when I look back on it. That stuff is serious.
What we did today was go look at an apartment and fill out paperwork. We also refamiliarized ourselves with the surrounding neighborhood a little, and I'm pretty psyched about possibly living there. :)
Every time there is a freezing cold snap accompanied by massive power outages we read about some immigrant families running a gas space heater or charcoal grill inside the house unaware of the undetectable and sudden mortal effects of carbon monoxide and the whole family dies.

Work screwed me up. I didn't get a chance type out what my day was like yesterday and now have totally forgotten much of it. Damn short term memory. If its not memorable enough I will forget.
Night before last night mom and I finished up the night with a movie, we watch The Last Stand with Arnold Schwarzenegger, that was decent, good fun like most of his movies.
Yesterday I tried contacting my doctor's office several times to pay for the more recent blood tests I'd be taking soon but never got anyone to pick up, just answer machine, I didn't leave a message, guess I'll try again Monday or something.
Went into work late in the day, for 4pm, truck was due to come in around 4:30 but never did, was stuck at another store still and wouldn't be our way for a couple hours and by then it would've been getting dark and so we would've had to postpone, but didn't matter anyway because after that stop the driver called our store and said he couldn't deliver anyway because he was out of hours for the day, not allowed to go beyond that, so truck would be at our store in the morning. I just worked out food/snacks, and later HBC. It not coming was a good thing, gave us more time to knock out more boxes so we wouldn't be so backed up by the time it came.
Mom and I started to watch another movie on Netflix last night, Dredd (or should I say dreaded). Got about a third of the way through it when we decided this movie was crap and to stop watching it. Stallone's Judge Dredd was better, at least it was fun. I typed to some friends instead, she watched a dvd on tv. I was supposed to go to sleep early, didn't get into bed until after 1am.
That's all I remember about yesterday, good enough I guess.
Today, got up early, around 5am because I had to be in early for the truck unload at 7am. Alarm wasn't set to go off until 5:30, but figured may was well get up, that half hour wasn't going to make that much difference. I sometimes hate getting up so early, but at least until winter time its already light out at this time. Its also so wonderful walking at that time on the weekend, barely a car on the street. Truck was average load size, case count in the 800's, no palettes of water or anything like that, that was good. It was humid out but at least the sun was on the front side of the building this early in the morning (afternoon would've been a killer). Took just a little under 2 hours to get it done, after that took my break then worked out a u-boat of HBC.
Mom came to pick me up, we got a few things before we left to go home. I was dead tired, dragging and stumbling on my words when talking. Yesterday that assistant manager, the young guy that always flirts with me was there, and there again today, hadn't seen him in over a month I think, was thinking that he wasn't working there anymore. Well he saw me in my civilian clothes, shorts and spaghetti tank top and couldn't help but give that look of approval and some mmm-mmm-mmm sounds. He missed how I was dressed yesterday when I was leaving for the day, I had on one of my short dresses then, I would have gone out of my way to find him to walk by just to get him all excited (yeah, I'm naughty like that) but was too tired and aggravated last night to deal with him.
Early this morning when I got up I noticed my mom had a birthday card on my table in front of the laptop, I wasn't ready to open it yet, will later. So got home, jumped in the shower, then took my estradiol, late yet again, then made lunch, hot dogs and beans. Yuck, these dogs had like no grease at all, it picked up the wrong ones, 97% fat free, what the hell good is that!? They tasted like crap, what a disappointment. After I got on the laptop, checked some messages, then opened my card, recording the moment. I wasn't going to show everyone, but oh heck, its not that personal that I can't share it. It was a moment, I got a bit more emotional than usual, probably because I was friggin' tired. I couldn't even get the camera in the right place for the hugs, oh well, its the thought that counts. Now I have something to look back on.
http://youtu.be/ZUoUz9Q16JI
Then back to replying to messages until I just couldn't stay awake anymore, couldn't even keep my head steady on my shoulders. Went to bed around 4:30pm, awoke again maybe 3 hours later. Still felt like crap, but don't want to sleep too much now otherwise I'd be up until the sun comes up next day. So here I am, typing away my day and what I could remember of the previous one. I so much wanted to go out to Goodwill to maybe look for some more dresses but I just couldn't do it. So will sit and relax the rest of the night.

We went to the grocery store and I probably spent too much money on fancy rice and pokemon cards. Other than that we've been ultra lazy all day, mostly playing video games and reading.

Spent most of the week helping various people with various things per usual, (sigh) most of them still miss gender me and leave sugary treats that I'll never eat at my door, but I don't let it it bother me because I think they mean well
I never charge them anything or ask anything in return, but I guess they feel as though they must do something even though I tell them that I don't eat much sweets
Now I'm one tired cowgirl and have a bunch of cookies and such to give away

Thank you! And I'm smiling this morning, so 40 doesn't feel so bad (it did yesterday, but work'll do that to you).
Late last night mom and I watched on Netflix a series called Bates Motel, taken after the Psycho movies, actually prequel to it all. So far watched 4 episodes, really enjoying it. Love the mystery, never knowing what's going to happen, kept us wanting to watch more, but it was already after 2 in the morning, can pick it up again the next night.
Okay, so started my day off early again, waking before 7am, but this time by choice. I could've kept on sleeping but I can do that at any point in the day today if I want or need to. Got up, got dressed, took the large package of chicken legs out of the fridge that we'd bought when grocery shopping the other night, separated them into smaller portions and put them all in the freezer, then wrapped up the trash to take out. So walked Snickers, emptied the trash, then came back and started cross-stitching. Took a short break, answered some messages, then back to stitching again to finish up my current, small project.
(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-6HZL4OMA1F0/U9G7WSZeeoI/AAAAAAAASbs/ShLGDTJH32k/w98-h70-no/5x7+-+Werewolf+the+Last+Warrior+-+wolf+rage.png)

Mom's alarm just went off, she has to work. I'll make us some lunch in a bit so she'll have some energy for work later.
Okay, much the day has passed, so what did I do with it? Played with me doggie a bit. Then finally got around to hooking up my camcorder and watching/skimming through a lot of old family videos, mostly Christmas's past. So much as I'd like to be about to share so much more of myself days long gone, most footage had family members in it too (can't be putting them up on the internet without their consent, and aren't going to mess with that) so had to find those brief clips with only me in it (and mom, she wouldn't care). After hours of going through a half dozen years of holiday tapes I managed to find and record via my laptop webcam of those moments so everyone can see how I was then. I've changed more than I thought I did, looks, voice, mannerism. I especially couldn't get over my voice, I seriously could not remember what I sounded like then.
So, here's what I had picked out:
1998 - Christmas - a brief glimps of me then (short clip, my sister's husband came into my room briefly I guess to see what I was up to - cleaning my tv with my usual dusting method, a sock ;D)
http://youtu.be/fR0rROBklUc
1999 - Thanksgiving - short clip of me face close up (family, while waiting for dinner was sitting around spending quality time with each other playing with the camcorder, making silly faces and whatnot, this super short clip was the only one of me close up)
http://youtu.be/ADQ4J9CPJ3Y
2000-1-25 - Storm of 2000 plus a tour of my room (big winter storm, ooh pretty, I miss those white winters, plus a tour of my bedroom accompanied by lots of indecipherable mumbling)
http://youtu.be/OsZrn_aLVL0
So yeah, that's what I've been doing with my day this afternoon and early evening. It was a nostalgic moment, but only the good points, but certainly makes me appreciate myself now more (should've looked at these videos before when I was having my rough time while off the hormones).

I can't run those videos right now, but that stitching is impressive.
Today I had planned to cook and clean, but I mostly just worked on getting through the day. I managed to negate all the cleaning I did do by making (or allowing) more messes. I have to get up early but I might try to get in some productivity before bed. Sewing buttons seems manageable.

Yes you should have, the changes are like night and day! Most of us don't realize how much we have changed over a few years because we look at ourself in the mirror every day and think we see the same old face. This was a pretty astounding revelation wasn't it?

Yeah, even my mom upon hearing my old voice, she didn't realize it was me talking, she thought it was the news guy on the tv. I don't even remember when and how my voice changed, but after looking at a video of Christmas 2003, my voice was already (mostly) what it is now. I'd like to had shown more such as I was with my early transitioning but other people in the those videos around me wouldn't want their faces up on the internet, especially around me.
Last night watched a couple more episodes of Bates Motel, so far so good, only a couple more to go on this season. I went to bed early, after midnight which is early for me. Got up this morning struggling to respond to my alarm, was hearing it in my sleep but was having a hard time snapping out of it. Got in the shower, very tired. Epilated my body hair (legs, butt, stomach, breasts), spending all too long on this, at least 40 minutes as I had a lot of hair growth from last time which was just days ago. Plucked facial hair, then quickly got everything else ready that I needed before leaving out for work. Took Snickers out to do her bathroom business, rushing her to hurry up, giving her only 5 minutes, she got it all out though, thank goodness, otherwise she'd have to hold it. Dashed out the door.
Today at work, continued where I left off over the weekend with HBC, did not get it all done though, problem came with the make-up, got Maybelline products in now and everything is packed in mini-cartons 2 per, so took forever getting them all out, 10 minutes just on that for 2 cases and didn't even get a chance to put them out, just packed them back up loose, will have to get back to another day as with the rest of the make-up, mostly nail polish, lots of new stuff, that I'd also have to find a place for. It wasn't a very productive day. I also didn't care. That's what happens when I'm away from work too long, by the time I get back I don't even feel like being there.
Also, my right eye has been twitching a lot lately, has been since that time I was having problems with my face getting numb, well after that went it away it was replaced with this occasion twitching on my lower eyelid, today was especially aggravating because it wouldn't stop. Plus, I was kind of in a foul mood, kind of shaky too. My left hand and arm always shakes (has been like that since my early teens at least), but when my right does too then something is wrong (I'm usually not feeling good), still have to get those other blood tests, maybe then I'll find out more, might have something to do with my thyroid or other glands. By the time I got off work, I just felt like crap, jittery and almost like I had a lot of toxicity in my body, which is common for me when I get like this.
So this one custom, I'm hearing her saying hello several times behind me, thought she was on a cell so didn't turn around, then when I do she there beside me saying hello again. Then asks me if I remember her, that I had helped her before. Uh, no. She appeared to be insulted that I didn't. I had no idea who the hell she was, didn't care. Its always a wonderful thing when a total stranger comes up to you, claiming to know you but you don't them. Well she then asks me about a shower curtain liner that she had in her hand, if it had magnets in it. I don't know. Though thinking probably not. Then asks me about if I have one at home and if it has magnets to weigh it down. How the hell am I supposed to know! I don't know, my mom does the shopping for that kind of stuff, I've never paid any attention to whether it does or not. ->-bleeped-<- like that isn't important to me. We only got a shower curtain I say. Then she asks of its plastic or cloth. What the hell does it matter what I have at home!? Geez, weird lady, get the hell out of my face! I wasn't rude or anything, most of this with the cursing were just my thoughts. She went away, I back to my work.
Later when I'm in the back, the receiving area, I hear someone calling out hello! Hello!? Yeah!? I call back. Then I see this lady again, standing in our stock room. At first I thought she was going to ask where the restrooms were, since that's a usual mistake, customers tend to find the doors back here first. Nope, she asks me my name. I look questioningly, but reply, Megan. Well, Megan, she (I can only assume my boss since I did see them up front at the registers talking) told me you'd probably have a box of these back here, holding up a little notebook thingy (a planner, address book, whatever) for me to see. I look it over then ask her if she had looked out on the floor for more. Then she goes, never mind, I'll come back later. In my mind if I weren't so frustrated I would have been scratching my head at her odd behavior (I don't even know how to describe it, but she acted weird). Instead I'm muttering out curse words aloud while going back to looking for what I was back there for. I was in an even worst mood after that. She really pissed me off.
So skipping past the rest of the unnecessary details of the day. Back at home, oh, mom's car is still there, duh, you got off earlier today that's why (I was only scheduled for 4 hours today instead of the usual 5). She was on the internet watching something, Snickers greeted me with her usual jumping around. I told my mom that I was feeling a bit moody today, bitching about my day. Then made myself a big sandwich (ham, mozzarella, greens, tomatoes, ancient grains bread, mayo). I was still eating it when she left out the door to go to work. Now, food eaten, feeling better, calmed down significantly, anger subsided, not so jittery. Food, well the right food will sometimes make me feel better. But other times I'll eat something that should make me feel good and feel like I'd been poisoned shortly after, so I don't know. Maybe I have some sort of deficiency.
While at work I had thought about going next door to the video store and see about filling out an application there, but by the time I got off of work, I just wanted to be home. The way I am out there, seriously, while I have done it before, I can't stand working with the public, sometimes all it takes is just seeing people and it pisses me off. That's on my bad days, on my good days I'm fine, but its those bad days that worries me, I tend to show all of my emotions all the time, and in these kind of jobs, they only want to see you happy, even if you aren't. <not allowed> that.
Called my doctor's office up moments ago to make payment for bloodwork. That part finally done. Now, as soon as I get my receipt emailed to me I'll be able to get those tests done. I figure go out early tomorrow morning for this.
Spent the later part of the afternoon watching The Avengers, took a bit to really kick up the action but once it got going, all the super heroes fighting together against the alien invasion, yeah, pretty cool.
Later, watched the rest of Bates Motel, ending just as I thought it would. No dinner for me tonight, have to fast, gotta get blood drawn in the morning.

So far not much of worth...slept in because I took a day off, looked at some websites on my phone in bed, made a (really gross and not breakfastlike) breakfast, and now I'm looking at recipes that I could cook to bring to work for lunch.
The problem is I took the day off so I could work on school and I haven't done that yet. -_- I think I'm going to sort out some papers (not procrastination as I have my notes for school lost in there) and then get to it. I'll be mad if I waste this day and I'm getting too close to the deadline to mess about.
But motivation, it eludes me still.

Awoke this morning at 5:45. Ugh, neck is stiff, can barely turn it. I take it I didn't move at all in my sleep last night. Took a shower, neck loosened up, thank goodness. Got ready, mom and I out the door by 6:55. Drove the few minutes down the road to the lab, still not yet open even though already 7am, several people standing or sitting outside waiting. Mom waited in the car, I got out and stood with the rest, well, not completely, one, an old lady was wearing too much perfume, I had to keep my distance. A few people that arrived later went before me as I had to wait for the air to clear before following behind inside.
The young lady that drew my blood didn't do as well as the last one that did it a few weeks ago, stung more, left a slash mark on my arm, last one did it so perfectly I barely felt it and the pinprick hole was so tiny it was barely visible. But this young lady seemed to be nervous and in a hurry. And arm is a little sore, unlike last time. What I was being tested for this time was for these:
Thyroglobulin antibody
Free assay (FT-3)
Assay of total Thyroxine
Immunoassay
Two vials taken, covers all those.
Mom and I got home a half hour after we'd left out so it was pretty quick, and traffic hadn't yet picked up to crazy busy yet. Once home got myself something to eat (hadn't eaten since 5-6 something last night, so stomach growling a lot), a huge sandwich, should give me back plenty of energy. Took Snickers out for a walk, emptied the trash, two guys were out there playing tennis and everytime someone is Snickers knows there may be balls to be found, and sure enough, outside the tennis court behind the front tire of a car in the parking lot, she found one. She happily carried it home, but seeing more inside the court she thought she was going to have those too. Crazy dog. Don't be greedy, come on, lets take your new ball into the house. So, she now has a total of 15 tennis balls, nearly all found outside since she first started taking a heavy interest in them.
The young lady that drew my blood didn't do as well as the last one that did it a few weeks ago, stung more, left a slash mark on my arm, last one did it so perfectly I barely felt it and the pinprick hole was so tiny it was barely visible. But this young lady seemed to be nervous and in a hurry. And arm is a little sore, unlike last time. What I was being tested for this time was for these:
Thyroglobulin antibody
Free assay (FT-3)
Assay of total Thyroxine
Immunoassay
Two vials taken, covers all those.

If you dislike and/or have a fear of spiders A.K.A. "arachnophobia" I advise you skip this post. You have been warned
Today . . . today I killed a spider, shocking I know
Killing spiders is frowned upon by some people, usually I'll just leave them be. I don't mind sharing my room with spiders as long as they follow 5 rules:
1:Do not run across the floor
2:Do not touch me
3:Do not use web to slowly descend from the ceiling down to the floor
4:Do not go anywhere near my bed
5: Make a web A.S.A.P. and eat as many flies as you want
If a spider manages to follow these rules then we'll both be happy. I remember a few years back I had a spider in my room which loved rule number 5 but things took a turn for the worst when it broke rule number 3. If a spider breaks rule #1-4 then I'll kill it without hesitation. Honestly, I don't ask for much, I just want them to respect my personal space, if they can't be civilised then I see no other option.
The spider broke rule # 4, the radiator in the picture below is right next to my bed.
I walked into the room, turned on the lights and prepared to relax. I casually strolled up to the window and that's when I noticed the leg sticking out behind the radiator. I moved in for a closer look. Once I spotted the spider I immediately thought 'you again? that's it i've had enough of you ! your desecration ends this day ! but first let me take a picture.
After I took the picture I knew that spider didn't know who it was messing with. I smirked to myself as I choose an appropriate weapon to use. Finally I was ready, weapon in hand I pulled the bed away from the radiator. After the trap was set I prepared to attack.
I started the attack by dropping a small object on top of the radiator. I was hoping that the spider would fall to the floor but some things are not meant to be, instead it just moved down slightly. But I wasn't just going to give up. Quickly I spun around and picked up a belt, using the belt I kept prodding the spider until it left the safety of the radiator. I struck once and it fell to the floor, legs curled but it did not manage to deceive me. I've dealt with spiders for years. I knew it was still alive.
Using my weapon of choice I pushed it away from the wall and struck it again. At this moment it realised that it had underestimated its opponent but it was too late. It tried to flee using every ounce of speed it could muster but it didn't get far with a broken leg. Blow after blow rained down upon the spider. While being bludgeoned to death it quivered slightly but then went still. Its legs were now mangled. I knew it was dead.
That, ladies and gentlemen, is the story of me and the spider. There are many things you can learn from this story.
This is my first post on the forum, I was thinking about making an intro thread (perhaps i'll make one later) but then I decided that i'd rather just jump in. One last thing, if anyone actually read all of that I think you might of made a mistake. I think most of you should avoid me . . . if you value your sanity.

That spider story was a great read. My mom has always been scared of spiders. It used to be that she'd totally freak out, heck one time one came down from the sun visor in her car, scared her so bad she almost had an accident. But last few years I've noticed that while she still don't like them she don't freak out as badly. It used to be she couldn't have any spiders in the house, now she can tolerate them if they are in a web and minding their own business, and aren't too big either, if she can see their details then they have to go. She's always worried about getting bit. I told her most aren't going to bite, but the ones to watch out for are the runners, those are the kind that run across the floor or walls, the kind that actively hunt their prey and will bite if given the chance. One time many years ago there was this black spider in my room, I was minding my own business and let it be, well because spiders don't generally bother me. Well this little bastard decided to crawl up on me. I pushed it away, damn thing came back and crawled onto my foot again. I flicked it away, a few minutes later it was back on me again, I smashed it. There. Those are the kind that when you put your finger in front of them they come to you. Those are the kind that end up in bed with you, using you as a source of nutrition. Now jumping spiders, I love 'em. Those are absolutely adorable with their big eyes and they have really good vision too. But see, even though active hunters they aren't aggressive with things they know are too big for them such as a human, always turn to face you but hop away, never towards, choosing flee over fight. I tell my mom whenever she sees one, its okay, its just a jumping spider, its not going to hurt you. I don't care, they jump, I don't like it, I want it out of the house! If she don't see it I leave it be since they never go out of their way to bother anyone. Runners have to go though, but little things are fast, hard to catch with hands so usually find a tall glass and if they show any sign of aggression with mandibles moving and seeming all too eager to come to me, okay, never mind, smash.
Okay, rest of day yesterday. Firstly I had to lay down. Sometime after eating, huge sandwich and bowl of fruit and ice cream I got tired, woke too early to get blood drawn, so layed down on the couch. At one point I heard my mom say she was leaving for work, but think I was still partially asleep. I got up a little while after, around 2pm. Okay, feel somewhat refreshed. I started working on an idea to cross-stitch and shortly after got to work on it. I wasn't going to at first but today (as in yesterday since this post is late) I decided, even though really late with only 2 days left that I was going to participate in the Sprite Stitch 'Favorite Class' (like in RPGs, you have knights, thieves, white mages, black mages, and so on, that kind of classes) challenge after all. Since I was going to do a Ninja Gaiden stitch anyway I decided that this would be the 'class' that I work on, 'ninja class'. So got to it. Spent so far 4 hours 45 minutes on it (I did take a few breaks in between that time though), probably have around 2 more hours to go so will finish that up later.
I stopped stitching a few minutes before mom was to get home, started washing the dishes and making dinner, pasta. We ate, then found a movie to watch on Netflix, Quarantine 2, that was good, then bed early, before 1am.
Awoke this morning at 5 something to my right leg cramping up, I jumped out of bed and started hopping around, trying to get the pain to go away, it eased off maybe half a minute later. Ooh, I hate that when I get so rudely awakened like that. Okay, so I'm up, may as well catch up on the rest of my day yesterday before I forget the details of it, so sat down to my laptop and started typing. I'm still tired though, stupid leg cramp.

Ended up going back to sleep again this morning, not awaking again until 11:30am. Got up, took Snickers out, on the way back walking at a distance from our apartment building all the guys working stopped doing what they were doing to turn and stare, yep, same thing every day boys, just a woman, like any other (well, kind of), all gawking, some smiling, I couldn't help but laugh. Just can't help themselves, oh well, consider that a good thing, I'm hot ;D, even if they might be thinking different way of eating me up.
Later in the afternoon I continued with my stitching. At one point the guys working on the apartment exteriors got to ours, climbing over our porch wall, Snickers had herself a fit, but after a bit she calmed down, no longer barking but instead a little woof every now and then, or laying there moaning because she didn't like them being there but either was too tired to bark anymore or knew it was aggravating me.
Got my cross-stitch project done around 9:30 tonight, took picture, posted it up on Sprite Stitch, my entry into the 'Favorite Class' challenge.

I wasn't going to do anything for this challenge at all as my favorite class has always been the strongest wielders of weapons and armor, knights or warriors, but I couldn't really think of anything. But yesterday it just hit me, I had something right in front of me that I was about to stitch that would work nicely for this challenge. Not my favorite but still really cool, 'Ninja class'. Got Ryu Hayabusa from the sound test screen of Ninja Gaiden 2 on the NES, threw in the word ninja and the kanji for it to label him, A little bit of editing, throwing in a shuriken at his head for a bit of comedy and there you have it. Took me over 8½ to complete this one.
Just made dinner, time to eat, and find a movie or something for mom and I to watch.

Typical male visually stimulated hardwiring, checking out chicks is what they do at job sites and act like dorks, gives them a pleasant diversion and gives you a big ego boost, wish I could have been there to see that, anyway here's a cyber applause! :eusa_clap:

Snickers is your early warning system, good as any of those fancy alarms and comes equipped with teeth.

Okay, so this morning didn't do much. This afternoon started out the same way.
Oh, did make a call to Time Warner, but using the phone, because I forgot how to make calls on Google Voice (details on this later), thankfully it went much smoother than last time I had to call those ->-bleeped-<-s (I say this because my last experience was so bad it got me crying and so flustered that if it were just myself I would've canceled the service completely). Since we've had them we've been paying for wi-fi, but hadn't actually used it, if fact I don't think it was even working, didn't when I tried it. It was mom's idea for us to have it, I wanted to save the extra 5 bucks. I told her the laptop would not be moved around, that's how she damaged her's a while back, moving it around too much, ruining the power cord and keeping it on unventilated surfaces like her lap or couch, wasn't going to be happening with mine, no way. So I called them up to get rid of the wi-fi, now we'll be $5 and some odd cents richer, yay! Every little bit counts.
Spend some hours on the internet, doing nothing really, was bored and didn't feel like really doing anything, probably because it was so damn hot, even with the air on. After I showered, cooling me down, I felt better, more awake.
Actually spent some time looking up bathing suits. I know I'm not ready yet, can't trust that pecker to stay down, still it tries to poke its ugly head up, mostly mornings, but still once in a while sometime during the day, didn't help me looking at bathing suits either, was getting excited just visualizing myself in one of them. Stay down dammit!

Love both of these, and I think I may have the confidence to wear one out of the house, eventually. Both are really cute and playful, ruffles and bows to bring out the fun girl in me, I did plain and simple too much of my life. But its not like I'm going to go out and buy me a bathing suit anytime soon, sure the skirt would help conceal that embarrassing thing, but still having issues with that spitting cobra down there. Maybe next year I'll be ready, it would be nice. In the meantime I can dream, window shop on the internet. ;D
Later, early evening, I decided to stitch, got me a new project:
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-8TYZDMNeH44/U9ruX1i27XI/AAAAAAAATJY/Aw-IAluQILM/w84-h112-no/6x8%2B-%2BMagic%2BCandle%2B-%2Bintro%2Bcandle.png)
Today instead of stitching in silence or listening to music I decided to watch some Disney. First up, Hercules, seen this one once before, enjoyed it, good fun action scenes. After that something new, Lilo & Stitch, never seen before, very funny, I especially like the whole thing about mosquitoes. :D
Oh, almost forgot, a couple days ago I decided to try something new, something that sparked my curiosity, Google Voice - can talk to people using my laptop like a phone. Ooh, gotta try that! So, set it all up, called myself. Hello? Hello? Hello-hello-hello-llo-llo-lo-oooo? Echo-echo-echo-cho-cho-ho-oooo! Hahaha, that's great! Love the echo effect! Okay, so probably because I'm talking to myself and too close. Hmm, who the heck am I going to call? I had ideas but too phone shy for conversation with anyone. But, tonight with me having been off work for several days, truck coming in tomorrow, had to give a call to find out when it'd be and when I'd need to be there. So, made that call with Google Voice, it rang, someone picked up, one of the cashiers that I don't know, I asked for the manager, got what time I needed to be in, for 1pm, truck comes at 2pm. Oh, I can say this, oh, finally I can hear clearly like I'm standing right there next to the person, loud and clear. That's one of the reasons I've always sucked at using phones, no matter how loud their volume was turned up, can't hear well enough with one ear alone and if put on speaker things just sound garbled like the speaker can't handle the highest volume setting. Well now, I know how I'll be handling calls from now on. :)
Oh, did make a call to Time Warner, but using the phone, because I forgot how to make calls on Google Voice (details on this later), thankfully it went much smoother than last time I had to call those ->-bleeped-<-s (I say this because my last experience was so bad it got me crying and so flustered that if it were just myself I would've canceled the service completely). Since we've had them we've been paying for wi-fi, but hadn't actually used it, if fact I don't think it was even working, didn't when I tried it. It was mom's idea for us to have it, I wanted to save the extra 5 bucks. I told her the laptop would not be moved around, that's how she damaged her's a while back, moving it around too much, ruining the power cord and keeping it on unventilated surfaces like her lap or couch, wasn't going to be happening with mine, no way. So I called them up to get rid of the wi-fi, now we'll be $5 and some odd cents richer, yay! Every little bit counts.
Spend some hours on the internet, doing nothing really, was bored and didn't feel like really doing anything, probably because it was so damn hot, even with the air on. After I showered, cooling me down, I felt better, more awake.
Actually spent some time looking up bathing suits. I know I'm not ready yet, can't trust that pecker to stay down, still it tries to poke its ugly head up, mostly mornings, but still once in a while sometime during the day, didn't help me looking at bathing suits either, was getting excited just visualizing myself in one of them. Stay down dammit!

Love both of these, and I think I may have the confidence to wear one out of the house, eventually. Both are really cute and playful, ruffles and bows to bring out the fun girl in me, I did plain and simple too much of my life. But its not like I'm going to go out and buy me a bathing suit anytime soon, sure the skirt would help conceal that embarrassing thing, but still having issues with that spitting cobra down there. Maybe next year I'll be ready, it would be nice. In the meantime I can dream, window shop on the internet. ;D
Later, early evening, I decided to stitch, got me a new project:
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-8TYZDMNeH44/U9ruX1i27XI/AAAAAAAATJY/Aw-IAluQILM/w84-h112-no/6x8%2B-%2BMagic%2BCandle%2B-%2Bintro%2Bcandle.png)
Today instead of stitching in silence or listening to music I decided to watch some Disney. First up, Hercules, seen this one once before, enjoyed it, good fun action scenes. After that something new, Lilo & Stitch, never seen before, very funny, I especially like the whole thing about mosquitoes. :D
Oh, almost forgot, a couple days ago I decided to try something new, something that sparked my curiosity, Google Voice - can talk to people using my laptop like a phone. Ooh, gotta try that! So, set it all up, called myself. Hello? Hello? Hello-hello-hello-llo-llo-lo-oooo? Echo-echo-echo-cho-cho-ho-oooo! Hahaha, that's great! Love the echo effect! Okay, so probably because I'm talking to myself and too close. Hmm, who the heck am I going to call? I had ideas but too phone shy for conversation with anyone. But, tonight with me having been off work for several days, truck coming in tomorrow, had to give a call to find out when it'd be and when I'd need to be there. So, made that call with Google Voice, it rang, someone picked up, one of the cashiers that I don't know, I asked for the manager, got what time I needed to be in, for 1pm, truck comes at 2pm. Oh, I can say this, oh, finally I can hear clearly like I'm standing right there next to the person, loud and clear. That's one of the reasons I've always sucked at using phones, no matter how loud their volume was turned up, can't hear well enough with one ear alone and if put on speaker things just sound garbled like the speaker can't handle the highest volume setting. Well now, I know how I'll be handling calls from now on. :)

So, this morning I get this from my doctor:
"So Megan, you have hashimotos thyroiditis. This means your immune system has recognized your thyroid peroxidase as being foreign and has made antibodies against it. Right now you have enough thyroid hormone in your bloodstream but over time you will have less function of the gland as your immune system attacks and destroys it. You will probably need thyroid hormone replacement in the future, maybe this year, maybe 5 years out. There are many things you can do to support your thyroid gland. One big one is stopping eating gluten as this molecule is shaped like the thyroid hormone and can cause cross reaction in your immune system. I'll send you an attachment with thyroid recommendations on it."
Yeah, I kind of figured that myself as I'd been looking a lot up on this subject lately and Hashimoto's thyroiditis seemed the closest to how I'd been feeling for much my life as far back as I remember. I was in my early teens when I started getting anxiety, depression, sleeping a lot, circulation problems and no matter what always ever feeling run down, low on energy, and so many other assorted issues, thyroid glands swelling, heart fluttering, feeling like loss of breath at times, jitteriness, allergies to too many things, chronic bronchitis, sensitivity to chemicals, low tolerance to heat, aches and pains for no apparent reason in muscles and bones, digestive problems, plus hearing and vision problems (cataracts - years ago optometrist told me that I was probably born with it) that may or may not relate to that. I had tonsillitis so bad when I was little that mom said I'd get fevers exceeding a few degrees over a hundred, doctors refused to remove them then, told her that I'd outgrow it, I didn't, still bothered me into adulthood, swelling up so bad it'd make it difficult to swallow, then I got strep throat several times, and now my tonsils just look like a mess. I've been a mess but being as I've lived with it so long it was normal for me. And finally after all this time I now get the answer to my problems,at least most of them.
My mom says her younger sister doesn't even have a thyroid, most likely due or similar to same thing that's causing mine to deteriorate. Said she got so sick that she could've died from it. When finally someone decides just as my doctor to check her thyroid. My mom has issues too with energy and assorted problems similar to me, especially lately, I'm thinking once she finds herself a doctor she should probably get that tested too. So, going to be making some changes in my diet, cut out the gluten (that'll be tough) probably still won't solve the problem, body will probably still attack itself but it could slow the devastation.
Got to go to work in a little bit. Ugh. I don't look forward to it. Its very hot outside, sunny and sun will be facing into the dock the whole time during the truck unload.

I'm very sorry to hear about your thyroid challenges, Megan. When I was told that I have hypothyroidism a couple years ago, the doctor told me that there is nothing I can do to support the thyroid except medication. I did not accept that analysis. Upon researching thyroid health on my own, I learned that the thyroid requires iodine in order to function. I also learned that one of the best sources of iodine is a seaweed called Bladderack. When I was retested 6 months later, it turned out that the Bladderack had resolved my hypothyroidism.
Well, when I was tested a few weeks ago, the doctor told me that I now have hyperthyroidism. So I've cut back on the seaweed, and I'll be tested again in the fall to see how it looks.
The human body is amazing!

I laid down in the bedroom just to rest for ten minutes. I woke up a few minutes ago and saw that I had been asleep for an hour and a half. I swear, even though I have been able to get some sleep again (since my panic attacks and the severe insomnia that resulted from that has been resolved). My actual sleeping patterns are really screwy and all over the place.

I finished my audio book, "The Hunger Games". That book is awesome! I can hardly wait to start book 2 of the Hunger Games trilogy. The library is holding the audio book, "Catching on Fire" for me for the next 72 hours. I'll pick it up on Sunday.
In the meantime, I've begun listening to "The Time Traveler's Wife". So far I'm loving it!
I've also begun "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo". It's a very complicated story; I'm having some difficulty getting into it.

Read that too, there's a trilogy but haven't read the third yet. I should get audio books, that appeals to me since I have to wear reading glasses.

The human body is amazing and given the right opportunity it can resolve a lot of it's own problems without a lot of drastic chemical intervention from "Big Pharma". When I de-transitioned for a two year period several years ago, I went without any hormonal base and became really ill. My healthcare provider and the entire VA system misdiagnosed my problem but a little lady Naturopathic doctor found that my thyroid had practically flatlined due to no hormonal base. I wasn't taking HRT and had been neutered years earlier. She put me on a natural thyroid booster "Nature-Throid" and back on HRT and I'm feeling great again.

interesting, I think I remember some detransitioner saying that they had thyroid problems and thought it was due to HRT, but maybe it was due to the lack of HRT...actually I think I've heard a few people say that. Can't remember for the life of me where though.

I'm late to the spider convo, but that story was something. I normally like having spiders in the house (ours are tiny), but there was one the other day that came down from the ceiling a couple feet away and then inexplicably went straight for my face and landed on my glasses. I jumped up and flapped my arms around with no self-control whatsoever, and then of course I couldn't find it and had to pace for a few minutes before resuming my spot in front of the computer. Wherever that thing is, I hope it is eating gnats. I feel like the abnormally high spider population this year probably accounts for the abnormally low fruitfly population.
Today we went to appointments, got bus tickets, waded through tourists, paid bills, went to the library and also the library store across town, and added to our sunburns because I forgot about sunscreen again. No major incidents. :)

It seems to be more prevalent in genetic females than genetic males and what it really boils down to is a problem with imbalance. The pituitary gland is the major control center, the thyroid works for the pituitary as the monitoring and distribution module and it appears that too much or too little sex hormone produced by the gonads or lack of them will throw the thyroid out of whack.

I'm trying to set new records for laziness. I took a shower and cut my hair, but that's probably going to be the peak of my productivity today. I'm still sore from yesterday and it's so hot that every time I get up to cook or clean I kinda just sigh and sit back down. I wish we could rearrange our lives to be asleep in the sunniest hours and do most of our living at night this time of year.

Don't feel like going over the details of last night. Went to sleep shortly after getting home from work, awoke around 11 something at night, couldn't get back to sleep until sometime after 3am.
Woke up this morning 3 and a half hours or so after falling asleep to get ready for work, oddly, I felt okay, not too tired. Took a shower, got ready for work, putting on one of my pretty dresses (work clothes were in my locker at work, but I wanted to dress nice on my way there and after I got off), ate a bowl of fruit I had thawing in the refrigerator since shortly before I went to sleep.
At work I started out okay but then some bitch (sorry, can't help it) stunk up the store with her perfume, I had to retreat to the back for a good bit, 15 minutes or so until the air cleared enough that it wouldn't cause me any breathing problems, eyes burned though from what remained in the air for all too long. I was in a foul mood after that for the rest of the time there. So today I did a lot of cursing, had the dropsies too, just couldn't hold onto anything, and so jittery. At least I know what's causing it. Not that I can do a whole lot about it right now.
Anyway, worked out housewares today. Mom came and picked me up. After we went to pick up a belated birthday gift that a friend sent me. Then headed over to Michael's so I can pick up some more black aida for stitching on for any upcoming projects I want to work on. Got a Silhouettes challenge now at Sprite Stitch that I may stitch something for - have me a few ideas. Then we went into Target nearby. I looked at the bathing suits, but being in such a grumpy mood aside from looking I couldn't get myself to try anything on, would've probably ended up depressed. Mom wanted to get some bread and chips, but prices at this store are way too high, hell, I don't even know why we went in there, we left with nothing. So we went to Randall's to pick up a little bit of food, even though HEB overall is cheaper its too much a nuthouse midday.
So looking for foods that are gluten-free, or at least don't have wheat in them, yeah right. At one point when mom was down another aisle I'm over at the tuna fish and just start crying, but trying to hold back so tears were just a thin layer of wateriness over my eyes. <not allowed> it, I'll eat whatever the hell I want. Damn thyroid'll probably go on me anyway. I'm not rich, I can't afford this so called gluten free diet, ->-bleeped-<- costs too much. Just like all that natural organic food, out of my league.
Many years ago I had a dream one night, nightmare I suppose I could call it, in this dream I died, what from I don't know but what I did know from it is that I had died at the age of 43. Why this number, who knows, random thing my brain picked or maybe foreseeing my future, but since then I've never been able to shake it. So here I was reading food packaging trying to find things without gluten and getting frustrated, and then this remembrance of that dream popped into my head, and that I was already in a bad mood, I'm surprised I didn't have a huge breakdown.
We got the usual food stuff, all containing wheat. Only thing saying it was gluten-free were the tater-tots. :)
So rest of day, not much. Did just a little bit of cross-stitching. Wash day today, so mom and I did the laundry later. After that we watched a movie on Netflix, The Grey, that was really good, very exciting, suspenseful. It was about a bunch of oil riggers that after their plane crashes they are stranded in the Alaskan wilderness trying not only to survive the harsh cold but also a pack of wolves. Well worth the watch.
Damn mosquitoes are eating me up, several days ago one in the apartment took a half dozen jabs at me, leaving me still with itchy bites on my left foot and several places on both my legs, and each day I get a few more added to those. Last night, sitting there getting ready to get back into stitching (prior to laundry), minding my own business, feel a sharp sting on one of my toes, look down, damn ant is poised there stinging my toe repeatedly. I flick it off, lost it in the carpet fibers. Then noticed Snickers looking down at the carpet, got the flashlight out, started scanning the carpet for more ants, sure enough, all over the place under my table. Ant here, ant there. I hate ants. And I hate Texas because of them. I never had to live with ants ever before until we moved here, and no matter what you do its a never ending battle, can never be rid of them, they are everywhere.

I don't understand why some women, and it's usually older women who think they have to bathe in perfume, maybe a little soap and water would suffice! I've been stuck on an elevator with one old gal that made my eyes smart, nose run and I could feel my bronchial tubes constricting so that I could hardly breathe. Then there are some perfumes that clash with certain women's body PH and though it smells nice in the bottle it smells like skunk juice on the woman, that's why the perfume comes in tiny samplers so that a woman can take it home and test it for awhile before buying an expensive bottle of it. I like a very subtle flowery scent on some women that is simply applied with the finger tip very sparingly behind the earlobes and between the cleavage and nothing more.

Many years ago I had a dream one night, nightmare I suppose I could call it, in this dream I died, what from I don't know but what I did know from it is that I had died at the age of 43. Why this number, who knows, random thing my brain picked or maybe foreseeing my future, but since then I've never been able to shake it. So here I was reading food packaging trying to find things without gluten and getting frustrated, and then this remembrance of that dream popped into my head, and that I was already in a bad mood, I'm surprised I didn't have a huge breakdown.
We got the usual food stuff, all containing wheat. Only thing saying it was gluten-free were the tater-tots. :)
Sometimes trying to deal with preventive measures can be more stressful on your mind, body and nerves than the problem itself. Try not to go overboard with all that stuff Megan, just live your life normally and if it becomes a real physical problem, get a second opinion and consider the possibility that you will have to take a thyroid booster like millions of other people, it's not the end of the world and it's not going to kill you sweetie.

So looking for foods that are gluten-free, or at least don't have wheat in them, yeah right. At one point when mom was down another aisle I'm over at the tuna fish and just start crying, but trying to hold back so tears were just a thin layer of wateriness over my eyes. <not allowed> it, I'll eat whatever the hell I want. Damn thyroid'll probably go on me anyway. I'm not rich, I can't afford this so called gluten free diet, ->-bleeped-<- costs too much. Just like all that natural organic food, out of my league.

Meagan with a little creativity going gluten free (even partially) can be done as part of a healthy habit. You can avoid the pricey convenience crap. But the pasta's aren't too much more expensive. I recomend the Bionaturae brand if you can find it. I get it at WholeFoods.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bionaturae.com%2Fuploads%2F2%2F2%2F5%2F8%2F22587222%2F9171995_orig.jpg&hash=695eae61c571cfc9ad79d1f0226ccf1871fa30b1)
Taste, texture and firmness is pretty much identical to semolina wheat pasta. I cannot tell too much of a difference in sauces. It's pretty darn good actually.
Might I suggest:

I'm not gluten sensitive per say, but I tried it pre-hrt and my life long mild back acne cleared up. Needless to say I was surprised. But I'm consuming a little wheat nowadays in moderation.

Its the heavy perfume wearers that makes it difficult for me to be around too many people, well, one of those things anyway. Crowded in a place with no place to retreat to and I'm screwed. When we first moved to Austin I started taking public transport buses for the first time ever, did this the first week while here, but there were a couple times that I had a hard time, having to cover my nose and mouth because a person or few had too much perfume on. Couldn't do anything about my eyes, burned, itched, and I felt sick afterwards. I can't ride buses. I can handle the crowds, even though shy of large groups of people I do well enough pretending they don't exist, until I have to smell them. And when I worked as a cashier at my job in North Carolina, there were more than a few times that I had to step away from my register because I was wheezing, my boss was never happy with this. At least stocking shelves I can retreat for a little bit, go do something in the back for a bit or work another section until the air clears. But on register, you are forced, especially if really busy to just deal with it, and if you can't, that can cause problems. So many times I had rude, insensitive people tell me, "If you are like that, or if its that bad, you shouldn't be working this job!" Getting pissed at me because I started having breathing issues because they caused it and I made it known it was their perfume that was doing it.
I'm not going to worry too much about that gluten-free crap, I think regardless my thyroid is going to eventually go. I can't be stressing myself out over it. Though I'm sure my doctor will make it difficult for me, they always do, after all, you're in their care and if you aren't doing as they suggest then they may not want to treat you, which would mean difficulty in getting more scripts for continued hormone therapy. Will deal with it all as it comes.
Anyway, he gave me this attachment in email:
THYROID RECS – all are listed as options, not requirements........
- Basal body temperature is an easy diagnostic tool to determine if you are
hypothyroid, or producing too little thyroid hormone. Put a thermometer at the bedside
and upon awakening, put it firmly under your armpit. Rest in bed for 10 minutes and then
take reading. It should be between 97.8 and 98.2. Repeat the next morning and if you
have 2 readings below 97.8, call your doctor, you may not be making enough thyroid
hormone.
- b vitamin complex, selenium 200mcg daily, zinc 20mg daily, copper 2mg
daily, vitamin A 5,000IU daily, vitamin D 5,000IU daily, Iron 50-100mg daily,
tyrosine, all can be found in thyroid support multivitamins
- Mixed fatty acid supplement, 3/6/9 blends, or fish oil, Green pastures High
vitamin fermented cod liver oil is rich in vitamins A and D as well, which are also
shown to be beneficial
- Flax seeds daily, ground, or their oil, Cataplex F is a supplement which contains
them, 3-9 daily
- Probiotics with prebiotics, refrigerated is best, 20% of t4 is modified to t3 in your
gut, if poor gut bacteria, this doesn't happen
- Dec sugar, white flour, eat vegetables, olive and fish oils, low fat proteins
- Avoid raw cruciferous vegetables and concentrated soy
- Boost metabolism by resistance ex, weightlifting or pilates
- Get 7-9 hours of sleep and do yoga, meditation, or deep breathing to reduce
stress, your body will lower thyroid output on purpose to protect you from high
metabolism in chronic stress where you might be too fatigued to handle the higher
metabolism
- Avoid chlorine, fluoride, bromine (found in baked goods) to avoid competition
with iodine at the gland, heavy metals are also unhelpful in thyroid dysfunction
- Birth control pills, supplemental estrogen and supplemental testosterone raise
thyroid binding globulin which will keep t3 and t4 from being available for use
- The liver converts 40% of t4 to t3 so boosting liver function by liver detox and
gall bladder cleansing will allow for better thyroid hormone function
- Elevated cholesterol, blood sugar, depression, reflux/heartburn, gluten issues and
chronic constipation are all associated with hypothyroidism and should correct
when thyroid is corrected, avoidance of gluten is also recommended
- Often, thyroid is blamed in cases of fatigue when the adrenals are often the
culprits and should be addressed first, the same goes for hot or cold flashes/sweats
which can be caused by female hormone changes as well as thyroid
- Thytrophin PMG 1-2 slowly
- Symplex M/F 1x3 daily
- Trace Minerals B12 1x3 daily
- Magnesium Lactate 2x2 daily
- Hypothalmex 2x3 daily
- Thyroid complex 1x3 daily
- Bladderwrack 6ml daily
- Coleus 10ml daily
- Eleuthro 1x3 daily
Its all too much for me. Ready all that just raised my stress levels. I stress out very easily. :-\
Thank you Evelyn, but recipes aren't my thing, I don't cook to that extent. The most preparing I ever do with any meals is pasta, that requires scrambling, cooking the beef, boiling the pasta, heating up jar of sauce, mixing it all together, that's it. For other meals, instant rice, mashed potatoes, everything else microwaved. I'm a lazy cook. The simpler, and faster the better. I did see some pasta while we were in Target, made with quinoa, that's gluten-free naturally, I didn't buy any though. I know there's other options too I just wasn't in the mood to deal with it.
Woke up this morning at 5 something, been sleeping on the couch lately and Snickers sometimes sleeps with me. This morning I feel her jump up and off the couch, see her looking at her ass - its always something with her butt. So I got up and took her out, she had to pee. Came back in, was going to go back to sleep, decided to stay up, cross-stitched some more, what I was going to do last night before an ant rudely interrupted me.
Created a Facebook account, not sure how much I'll do with it, but since one of my friends is on there and wanted me to see some pictures, I decided why not, may as well.

^ I meant to listen to that video today while cross-stitching, totally forgot when I put on a Disney cartoon.
So I cross-stitch just a little bit today while watching The Emperor's New Groove, but mostly I slept, a lot. I don't know if there's much worth typing about today.
Played flashlight game with my doggie, recorded it using my digital camera, started uploading it an hour and something ago, it still has a long way to go, according to the time remaining another hour and a half. Damn avi files take forever.
We keep getting these big ants crawling around, saw one carrying a little ittie-bitty piece of food, I grabbed it up with a piece of paper towel and pressed together, felt a pop. Oh god, that somehow turned my stomach. I folded it again, another pop. Geez, you were supposed to be squished already. That didn't make me feel to good. Really bothered me, could feel a sickly sensation all up my arms. Usually I'll spray 'em with some dish liquid that I have in a spray bottle, kills them pretty quick, but this squishing thing felt too personal. Like sticking a knife in someone. I don't know what's with me lately, I'm extremely jumpy, especially at work, and now get all messed up over feeling an ant pop between my fingers.
And as I'm typing this, felt a tickling between my toes, a little ant scurrying all over my foot til I shook it off. I so much want to evict myself and move to another state. The heat here sucks, the ants suck even worst (my dog don't like them either, if one crawls on her she jumps up then turns and watches it crawl away, then tries to find another place to lay and I'm sure they are stinging her too), and I'm sure the skunks will eventually be back in force as they were this past winter when the air stunk of them at least every other night hours on end, so bad it seeped into the apartment waking me in the middle of the night. Carpet is a bad idea for apartments, all it does is house bugs, gives them more places to hide. Snickers is sitting there watching them. All pest control does is come in and spray as was done some weeks ago in the kitchen when we had them in there, a few seconds, poison all along the wall and edges of floor, the ants still come back, just a different location as they are now.
Seems I got nothing to do tonight but bitch. :-\ And to think, earlier this morning out walking my dog, I thought to myself, "What happened to that smile that you had before?" I don't know, guess it'll be back, I tend to flip-flop like this, be pissy for a while, then suddenly everything is wonderful, then back to bitchin' about everything. I haven't even taken any recent pics of myself since the day I cut my bangs, nor any videos of my doggie and I playing, well actually did tonight, still waiting on that one. I think I better stop here, as so far this has been one of the most negative posts I've had.

And! I posted more. And got more pokemon to fill my dex! .... Sounds silly, but it's really hard with like over 700 pokemon now. Ridiculous.

Forgot to take my pill before going to work today, very late on it, oh well, better late than never. Dissolving under my tongue now as I type.
So worked out HBC at work today, took my time. Had a crazy amount of socks to put out so had to reorganize things to make them fit. Still have a whole u-boat of stuff for this area in the back but being as I don't work again until Friday, oh well, I'll get to it when I can, not even going to worry about it. I did my job, did it to the best of my ability, got done what I could with the small time frame, going home.
Beware next paragraph, really gross ->-bleeped-<-...
So at one point I go into the restroom at work to pee, ->-bleeped-<- all over the toilet seat, paper roll across the floor. Thank goodness I can squat just fine. Once I do everything I have to do in there I step out, bottom of my shoe slips a little. I look down, f'in great, its bad enough that I have to always be weary of where I step outside when walking Snickers because I'm really good about stepping in dog doo, but human ->-bleeped-<-, that's even nastier. Yeah, so there was a glob of it on the floor right outside of the restroom door, and sure enough I had some on my shoe, in two different places, so must've stepped in it on the way in as well as upon exiting. Smelled like a child's poo-poo, and not solid turd, nope, a glob of mush. Just disgusting. Oh I hate working with the general public. >:( So I had to go back in, wash the bottom of my shoe which just Saturday night was cleaned really good, mom sprayed 'em and tossed them in the washer when doing laundry that night, and my shoes were dirty since I work in them and walk a lot. So they were just baptized with human feces, not even two days after being cleaned. Then I had to get something to clean up the glob and smear of ->-bleeped-<- across the floor just so I or someone else don't step in it again. Washed my hands really good. Tried not to touch my face the rest of the day. Must've been a reason for this mess and me stepping in it, gave me something to talk about. Though I'd preferred not to had to deal with something gross like this.

Ugh, that is gross >:( I had to deal with ->-bleeped-<- like that when I worked in fast food in much younger days, I was presenting as male back then and would always get elected to deal with it
Usually someone would take a dump on the seat or crap in the corner right across from the toilet, I remember one time in particular though when someone smeared their ->-bleeped-<- all over the walls and used it to write and draw graffiti in both bathrooms... Maybe it was a group effort?
Luckily I was able to hook up a hose with a sprayer and wash most of it down the drains then apply sanitizer, but that was generally how we cleaned the restrooms anyway, it just took a little extra time and effort that time
Don't know what gets into some folks sometimes

Nothing I did today was as important as finally getting up the nerve to make an appointment with my terrifying dentist. The last work I went in for literally shattered my tooth instead of saving it, and the roots are still buried in my face. I'm actually hoping he has to refer me to a surgeon. My dentist may be really skilled and simply dealing with a hard case, but I'll never know because I've spent hours on the phone multiple times and still can't find any others that take my insurance. He always says Americans complain too much but I don't think he's spent much time spitting out tooth shards.

Yeah. :laugh:
And that is why one should always take their shoes off when in the house, never know what nasty ->-bleeped-<- you may've stepped in outside of your home.
So, a couple days ago over the weekend I sent a request to my doctor for my blood test results, they were scanned and sent to me via email this afternoon. So this is what my results were:
2014-7-11 - general health panel and prolactin:
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-CvCRrYx4JEM/U-AsdQs1umI/AAAAAAAATNM/-brO6OOojXM/w578-h528-no/2014-7-11%2Bblood%2Btest%2Bresults%2Bfor%2Bgeneral%2Bhealth%2Bpanel%2Band%2Bprolactin.PNG)
2014-7-29 - Thyroid related tests:
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-nQiYX4rv5I8/U-A26RKFPkI/AAAAAAAATOI/hoT2b2XZUI0/w574-h207-no/2014-7-29%2Bblood%2Btest%2Bresults%2Bfor%2BHashimoto%2BThyroiditis.PNG)
Looked a bunch of these things up, its all too confusing for me, but anyway, got 'em for my records.
So after I got home from work, my doggie and I had some left overs for lunch, then I sat down to reply to some messages (this took several hours), watching Mulan while I typed. After that Snickers and I played for a bit, with me throwing her tennis balls against the door (she loves that), then we took a walk. I had to use the heavier leash on her (I hadn't in a long time), she's been pulling me to hard (when she wants to greet someone or go over and sniff something she pulls with all her might, and she is rather mighty), arm has been so sore past couple months, I get pains shoot through it all the time and I know its from her (been having to use two hands lately), damn little dog is strong. I know the heavier leash weighs her down more but its either her or me.
I think my mom broke the vacuum. That time that she let dog hair accumulate in the compartment as well as through the hose, not really getting an suction. But then I used it after I had cleaned it out that day and it was fine, who knows what she did to it another time after that. Bad enough when I was getting ready to vacuum today, well when I went to get the vacuum cleaner the cord is wrapped all loosely around the handle. Uh, I hate that, and it shouldn't be, we got one of those kind with the button you press and it winds the cord up for you, nice and neat, real easy. My mom does laundry well, but don't let her near a vacuum cleaner, she's destroyed too many. I wanted to try to suck up some of those ants crawling around in our carpet, that's not happening today though, I'm not going to have that cause me unnecessary stress.

I just made my first steps outside the safety of my home dressed up in full......me. There was a couple people in the parking lot outside my apartment but I had to get my charger from my car. Well if I can do everything the. Army has made me do this should be easy right? OMG I was scared but I did it, they stopped and looked, and the one guy leaned over to get a better look as I headed back to my apartment. Not sure he could tell or not but they did stop talking to take a look.
But I did it! First step outside as me.

^ Exhilarating isn't it? It'll be even easier next time and each time thereafter. Just don't let anyone discourage you.
My first time I had to walk to see my therapist, from where I lived in Alexandria VA, to Bailey's Crossroads (border of Alexandria, Arlington and Falls Church) VA, about 3 miles. I was so scared, but at the time same so excited that I was actually doing it. I just maintained my usual tunnel vision to keep me focused and got there okay. Then I after my visit with her I had to walk back home. So this was my first time out and not my last, I was full time from that point on, February 6th, 2001 (on a Tuesday), and had to go to work the same day, later that night, boy was that a trip. But see, when I went full time to start I didn't dress over the top, all very basic women's clothes (women's top and jeans), only thing that really stood out was me wearing a bra (padded enough so I may've looked like a A cup (what I actually am now). I'm sure I stood out still as being a bit off in other's eyes when walking that day, I was quite terrified but didn't have an incidences, got there safely and back again, no problems. I felt free though, like a burden was lifted that day. It did get easier each time thereafter, still though it took a long while before I became totally comfortable with dressing as a woman. Didn't help at first when I started I wasn't yet on the hormones, that didn't happen until 3½ months later.

It'll be another almost 4 years until I can start doing it full time and HRT. If I get a new job I might be able to be full time even at work but I'm still military which is why I have another nearly 4 years before I can start HRT for now I need to get out more often.

Ugh, lymph nodes in my neck under my right side of my jaw are swollen today, started up last night, inner ear is hurting a little, and gums after my last lower tooth are swollen overlapping the tooth so that hurts a little too. The glands on this side of my neck are always swelling up, probably due to my bad teeth. Otherwise I felt great today. Got myself up, took a shower, put on one of my dresses, comfy yet somewhat revealing one and took Snickers out for a walk, construction guys couldn't stop eyeballing me, one waved to me, I waved back, smiling to myself and continued walking. :)
After I came back, got on the internet, did some stitching while listening to (and singing along to) Disney songs on Youtube.
Aside from stitching, other than that mostly sitting around today. Posted a few messages here, replied to a few PMs, took my body measurements, going a little overboard but having fun with it, this for a topic on here https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,170673.msg1491189.html#msg1491189. I enjoyed my mostly uneventful day. Took some pictures of myself since aside from those I did after I cut my bangs I hadn't taken anymore since until today.

Almost 3am in the morning, and decided to go back over this post and delete everything negative I said regarding my mom, while it does involve being part of my day, the details are best left at home not on the internet. As is I don't even know if I want to even keep this up anymore. Who the hell cares what happens in my day anyway and what the hell do I need reminders for, what so long time from now when I'm senile I can go back and read about somebody that I don't even know, me. Ah hell. It did start out as a good day. Now I got thoughts of getting another job just so I can move out on my own (not the first time this has entered my mind). I just feel so very trapped.

Quote from: Jill F on August 05, 2014, 08:47:20 PMI don't know what a lanai is, but I'm jealous of your productivity. I think I'm moving soon, so I've been eyeballing my house and it's a reminder what an incredible slob I am. We only mop if the toilet overflows or if there is some kind of seriously bizarre spill in the kitchen. I only vacuum if I think someone with allergies might be visiting. I got my computer fixed today, but I spent the last month putting clothes on and around the compter chair (out of sight, out of mind), so I have to deal with that and clean the paperwork off my desk before I can play youtube videos again.

Today we took six buses to get to the computer shop and back. It reminded me how obnoxious some of the 14 bus (which goes through a trendy shopping district) riders can be. Visiting the place was a happy experience, though. My hyperactive kid wanted to know if the guy who greeted us worked there and pointed out that anybody could break in and sneak behind the counter, and then she was really concerned that he might electrocute himself on our computer. We found a child's painting of an owl on the sidewalk that I wanted to take home, but she was worried the kid might want it back, so we just propped it up on a nearby wall.
We were supposed to go get cat food and cereal afterward, but I was too tired. I'm out of shape so carrying the computer made me look and feel like I had been trying to bench-press an elephant on a hot day. :laugh:

oh, let's see...
I read far too many posts here, wrote many unposted responses... 'oh shyte, I really can't comment on that, I lack the experience...'
'nope, can't say that... mayhaps I misread the post...', 'h-e-double hockeysticks... I'm not offering anything useful... I shouldn't be wasting the bandwidth...'
Caught a glimpse of my linkedin profile pic. That was rough. Couldn't decide if I looked more grandfatherly or maybe simply avuncular. Neither of those will do. That worked so well in concert with a particular thread I encountered on my fugue through the Forum. Staring at the pic of one of the contributers in the thread, at her lovely blonde hair, hair that was actually growing from her scalp, that in contrast to mine own pate, vast barren landscape, alopecia barely held in check by heroic pharmceutical warfare... sigh. I was left with the feeling that passing should never be an issue for me for the same reason that summiting Everest should never be an issue for me. Ain't gonna happen, not next Tuesday, not ever. While on the one hand, I know that shouldn't really matter, the intellectual knowing of it loses ground against the emotional wanting of it to be untrue.

Permanently installed cute LED lights along my lanai fence out front and put them on a timer so they go on and off automatically.
I'm thinking I should put a cute tablecloth on the table out there, get a candle and have dinner out there since it's such a nice day.

Decided I'm going to keep this small. Highlights of the day only.
Yesterday I took out my PS1, after 5 months not playing any video games. So played some Need for Speed: High Stakes and Tenchu, both already being games in progress, continuing where I left those many months ago. That was just the kind of fun I needed to break up the monotony I've been experiencing every single day for all too long now.
Today I've been replying to messages and uploading pics.

Thank you Shan :) I really appreciate that! I was just having a bit of a down day. I suppose I needed someone to confirm that it's what on the inside that really counts.
**hugs**
So, I just ran across this thread. What did I do today? I actually accomplished a lot. I paid my water bill which was the last I had to, finished up grocery shopping for the month, thank gosh!(The only shopping I hate is for groceries, lol!), In between those I took my truck in to a friends shop to get the codes read and now know I need a new coil pack. It's been dropping #2 cylinder lately once in a while and now I know why -one of my coils is going bad. Anyhoo, continuing on, I found two cute strapless bra's my size one pink with sparklies and one black at a local store so got them, picked up my cat food then went home. After putting things away I fed and took care of my kitties which includes some play time, then got on my network here and started a Skype conversation with my friend Reaver, Read some pm's, answered one then looked over some threads. Also thank's to a friend I got to update my Google settings, see some fine artwork, then after I went back to looking at threads and answering emails, I found this thread, read through it and here I am, lol! It's been a busy day!
Oh forgot to mention -turned down a date with my new next door neighbor who came over and asked me out. I was surprised, flattered, and freaked out at the same time for a little while after this happened, lol!
I sure hope tomorrow goes at a slower pace.

Decided I'm going to keep this small. Highlights of the day only.
Yesterday I took out my PS1, after 5 months not playing any video games. So played some Need for Speed: High Stakes and Tenchu, both already being games in progress, continuing where I left those many months ago. That was just the kind of fun I needed to break up the monotony I've been experiencing every single day for all too long now.
Today I've been replying to messages and uploading pics.
All of my drawings (at least those I still have):

Sprite composition works for NintendoAge (didn't create the actual sprites and backgrounds, but edited and put these together for a Cornerstone contest back in March 2009 over at that game site - won that contest):

All that stuff is long gone (retitled that folder to 'Stuff I used to have' and made a new folder for things I currently have and actually need to add to). Sold all of the games for chump change when we became homeless. Gave away the books to a library, abandoned the dvds. Sold all my Sailor Moon stuff (except the cds which I still have) so I could rebuild an NES collection (funded solely off of my Sailor Moon things) but then ended up having to sell that too when becoming homeless a second time, this time with a dog too. Now, I'm afraid to even dare collect anything. I have a like a dozen or so GBA and DS games, a tiny book collection and 2 dozen PS1 games and that's it, but its more than most have. Better to have only a few thing and appreciate it, than to have a lot and take it all for granted.

Snooze alarm
Shower and rest
Leave for bus
Arrive at client's
Breakfast - Cupcake and water (augh lol, nothing else open in the mall strangely enough)
Work
Lunch - Orange Julius Relish Dog
Work
On the way home - bought underwear, thermos, blue t-shirt, blue hoodie, Coke (regular)
At home - did laundry and fell asleep
Woke up and went for a haircut, showered
Messed around and ate soup
Headed to work again

my list is all tiny things -
actually cooked breakfast instead of just getting out cereal bowls
hung up some shirts
sorted papers and got some of the superfluous clutter into recycling
failed to find popsicle molds in the kitchen stuff but set aside a tupperware cake box and big lidded pyrex bowl for donation
successfully smiled and made small talk with multiple people
read most of a book about the history of nursery rhymes
made progress in teaching my cat to stand up on his hind legs when I ask him to. I'm not sure why I'm doing this, but it's working even without a treat now.

After work yesterday, came home and did pretty much nothing all day. I did play a little bit of Playstation, but not much of that either. Even with the air on it was hot, over a hundred outside, over 80 inside, I felt sick, weak, and had a headache for a while. Gums at the rear of mouth still swollen over tooth, right ear still hurts inside, lymph nodes on right side of neck are more swollen and seems to be more of them are, but not running a fever or feeling really at that horrible. Sitting on my ass too long all day, decided to do some stretches last night.
Early this morning around 6 I woke up with my left leg feeling numb, hmm, that again, and not coincidence that I did some stretching last night which I hadn't done in a while. This morning spending much of my time on the toilet, having no idea what upset my digestive system, but had to call my work, I'm just in no shape to go in. And can't make it up, end of the week and boss won't carry hours over, oh well, guess the freight is all on them then. I'd have asked to work a later shift, but hell with it, I'm not up for it.
Got to go out and get groceries later, need to refill my estradiol, and some other things, but have to wait and see if I can feel at least well enough to go out.

Hope you feel better soon, meanwhile you have to get the teeth fixed or they will poison you, that's probably what the swollen glands are all about. Wishing you well sweetie and do as I have suggested and quit dragging your feet dammit! :icon_bunch:

I actually pulled out the remnant's of a broken toothy from my gums that has been causing me pain all week. Turns out my gums underneath it had healed. So every time I closed my mouth I was driving sharp edges back up into them. I have another broken tooth on the right side of my upper jaw that will eventually do the same thing. I have bad teeth from my accident in 91. And I'll eventually have to get implants but for now don't have the $$.
Other things I did were; I sold some small unused trinkets and made $35.
I had a conversation with my widowed neighbor friend about helping me do some housework, and other
help I'll need with my upcoming SRS post-op while I'm healing.
Finished answering a few pm's read a few threads here on Susan's.
I spoke with my friend Reaver over Skype who's now changed his name to Chris.
I then went back to reading over threads on here, and I'll be watching a movie shortly.
So really I didn't do a whole lot, but did get a few little things accomplished.

And I...well no that's all I've done so far. I don't really feel like getting out of the house today....ugh.

Okay, so Saturday, mom and I went out to the grocery store, but first she wanted to go to the Salvation Army and Goodwill. I still felt like crap, but may as well get out. Wasn't in the mood to shop at first, but found a really nice top at the first Goodwill we stopped in at.

By the time we were at the second Goodwill I was feeling a bit better, just hungry since I avoided eating since I wasn't feeling good enough to feel I had to call out from work. While there I found 5 really pretty dresses, two of them unfortunately didn't fit. Two others I passed on, one being too long for summer even though it looked and fit really great on me, and the other had such a pretty pattern but was v-shaped front and back and I couldn't see me wearing it with too much chance of a booby or both popping out for display, so I reluctantly put that back too. I got one dress, but a really pretty one.

Yesterday I finished up the cross-stitch I had been working on. This one is taken from the introduction to the Famicom game, Magic Candle. It took me 11 hours to complete, though over the course of a week and a half.

Quote from: Megan Joanne on August 11, 2014, 06:15:24 PMWoW! Megan you look very beautiful! I love the top and the dress both and they look fabulous on you. I'm happy your feeling better as well. I actually buy the same type of outfits myself and love shopping at Goodwill. Unfortunately I don't have one closeby, but there is one in Brooksville I have to go right by on my way to my Endo and I always stop to see what's new every 3 months or so on my way for an Endo visit. I do have a couple of local thrift stores where I find some great outfits at great prices, but they don't have the variety of selection Goodwill does.

Yesterday I finished up the cross-stitch I had been working on. This one is taken from the introduction to the Famicom game, Magic Candle. It took me 11 hours to complete, though over the course of a week and a half.

Played a little bit of Playstation, brainstorming ideas to cross-stitch, messaged a few friends. Haven't done anything else worth mentioning without going into detail, just the same usual stuff.
I'm also happy to see your sharing your cross stitches letting us see how talented you are!
What did I do today? I gave my hair some much needed attention to combat frizz and this humidity. It's so nice and soft right now I can't stop running my fingers through it!
I also fixed one of my computers that went down last night.

Glad you're feeling better, the dress is pretty on you, but maybe you make the dress look pretty.
Thank you Shan. :)

WoW! Megan you look very beautiful! I love the top and the dress both and they look fabulous on you. I'm happy your feeling better as well. I actually buy the same type of outfits myself and love shopping at Goodwill. Unfortunately I don't have one closeby, but there is one in Brooksville I have to go right by on my way to my Endo and I always stop to see what's new every 3 months or so on my way for an Endo visit. I do have a couple of local thrift stores where I find some great outfits at great prices, but they don't have the variety of selection Goodwill does.

Thank you Ali. :)
I seem to always find dresses at Goodwill even though I don't always buy them, they cost a bit which keeps me from getting everything that I see that looks and fits nice. Tops tend to be a little more difficult to find in my size and what I like, but I've done pretty good so far with a few. I never look for bottoms, not yet.
Always nice to have a good hair day. ;)
Okay, so being unable to decide on what to stitch for a time I mostly didn't do much today, until this evening when I went ahead and did something. Have me an idea of making earrings out of cross-stitches, so starting out with something very small, low stitch count, super quick to finish, the Faerie from Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. I would be stitching both animation frames, one for each ear. I know I probably should have done these on plastic canvas, it'd been easier to have them already in a nice solid wearable form, but I hate working with that crap, so stuck with the black aida I always use. I'm not sure yet how I'm going to turn these into earrings but they're done anyway, I'll figure that part out later. The first Faerie took me a half hour to complete, my quickest cross-stitch yet, while the second, it took the same amount of time stitching but probably close to four times that time altogether with picture taking and video creation.
Here's the Faeries. Sorry they're so tiny, but didn't feel like having to enlarge them.

And both stitchings completed.

When stitching the second one (the one in the pic on the left) I took snapshots after stitching every X, taking a total of 60 of them, had me an idea, something new to do. Once finished, loaded the pictures into my computer then each at a time into the Window Movie Maker. Hopefully I'll be able to do this as every time I use this program the laptop fan whirs really fast and CPU usage starts going up and keeps going up until my laptop shuts down. But this is a really short clip, so hopefully no problems arise. I saved my project after loading pics up just in case. Saved the movie, all good, fan kicked into high gear but it was only a handful of seconds. Then I loaded up Zelda II in the NES emulator, checked length of intro song, 1:07, okay, recorded a .wav of it. Changed video duration in the movie maker, then added the recorded music, saved it. Ah, not bad. And this was my first time doing something like this, any other thing I'd ever done was just splitting or clipping the length of a video so I'm glad this little project turned out to be quite easy. Uploaded to Youtube.

And there you have it. That was some work to do, but quite fun, I may actually think about doing this again, maybe more extensive. We'll see. :)

Felt sick this morning, much like how I did this past Saturday, have no idea why, but better by afternoon. As for what I've done with my day so far, played with my dog, worked on a sprite, something that was originally going to be for the Sprite Stitch silhouette challenge but then started going into editing the sprite.
The original sprites, from Duck Hunt:
(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/--60XAgMM_F8/U-pqmxD5buI/AAAAAAAAV70/2dujTZprkdI/w53-h48-no/Duck%2BHunt%2B-%2Bdog.png)
(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-JUDYLJn-xOM/U-pqm2OVRII/AAAAAAAAV7o/pjEJJWUt9zY/w34-h29-no/Duck%2BHunt%2B-%2Bduck.png)
Enlarged the dog, placed the duck on its rump, turned them into silhouettes. My mom liked it, and she recognized it, what game they come from, said it was imaginative, said I should do it.
(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-zEnV0-AUito/U-poNBFC2PI/AAAAAAAAV60/2azdC05JlOs/w106-h96-no/Duck%2BHunt%2B-%2Bdog%2Band%2Bduck%2Bsilhouette%2B3.png)
But, I suddenly had other ideas so with the full color dog started smoothing out the rough edges around the double sized mutt and before I know it I'm doing it for all the details, put the color back in the duck and now making color enhancements. Now I have no idea what I'm going to do. Keep working at this? But then what about the silhouette? I don't know now.
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-O43N6J5l6W8/U-poNrn7GNI/AAAAAAAAV6o/EfXW_j4YTKA/w106-h96-no/Duck%2BHunt%2B-%2Bmy%2Blittle%2Bdoggie%2Bwith%2Bduck%2Bcutie%2Bmark%2B1.png)

Just came back from a walk with Snickers, while out there on the way back we took a detour because the guys were working and had the forklift in the way so we went just a tad further down the hill, but I wanted to get out of the sun so took a shortcut behind some of the apartments, walking passed air conditioning units and money. Huh? $5 bill. Picked it up. Now, normally I don't pick up money off the ground, and its never been enough worth picking up, a penny or nickel, bah. But this'll do. If I had known who's it was they would have gotten it back, but being back there it could've been anyone's and dropped even days ago with no one passing by since, someone just walking through, maintenance guy, one of the construction workers who knows, oh well, mine now. ;D Oh, and it was actually two $5 bills rolled up together. Yeah! ;) I don't think I'd ever been so lucky on finding anything of value on the ground. I'm $10 richer and didn't have to do anything but be at the right place at the right time to find it before someone else eventually did. :) Maybe I should use it to buy Snickers something special since without her I wouldn't even have had chance to come upon it since I wouldn't have been out walking in this heat.

Kudos to you Megan! You found two $5. bills, cool. I wish I could be so lucky! I think you've a great idea. You should get Snickers a little treat. She did help you find the money. You could keep one fiver for you, and spend the other on her. :angel:
What did I do today? Well, went to town and washed clothes and to also pick up some yucky over the counter medicine. Other than that and being here on the website nothing much. Hopefully tomorrow I'll get some much needed phone calls made. I just hate talking on the phone though, which is why I keep putting it off.

Thank you Ali. Hope you are feeling better now.
Yesterday I worked on a couple of small cross-stitches, nothing big deal, just some extra pieces to add to my small characters I had done last year, haven't even taken pictures yet, figure I get a few more done first.
Today I talked to a friend, on the phone. :o Well, not quite the phone, actually Google Voice, so it acted as a phone, but laptop shut down during our conversation. Once I got things started again we tried again, and once again, shut down. Stupid laptop can't even handle this! >:( Okay, this isn't going to work after all, we finished talking via email. Anyway had a good talk for what we did, and while I was nervous as hell about making the call once we got to talking I was comfortable, no reason to be scared after all. We'll try talking again, next time using a real phone. Nothing else noteworthy today. But hey, I finally got myself to call someone and actually talk using vocals and ears, not fingertips. :)

Well, I got a few of those "dreaded" phone calls made today and found out some great information: It seems my insurance will in addition to covering my surgery, pay for travel expenses to and from, and while staying in Miami for my SRS!, YaY! This alleviates a huge concern of mine because it's $80 plus in gas alone one way. Absolutely great news indeed. I also found out they'll pay for out of state procedures and surgeries as well -good to know regarding my VFS(voice surgery). My insurance lady told me a lot of people don't know about this travel expense coverage and as a result fail to take advantage of it. So it pays to check into things girls -ya never know.
As usual I'm glued to my TV this time of year for Shark Week!, so I'm watching that as I converse with you fabulous ladies and gents. Other than that it's been an ugly rainy day so I've been stuck at home. Honestly we've had more rain here in Florida than I've ever seen this time of year.

My insurance lady told me a lot of people don't know about this travel expense coverage and as a result fail to take advantage of it. So it pays to check into things girls -ya never know.
As usual I'm glued to my TV this time of year for Shark Week!, so I'm watching that as I converse with you fabulous ladies and gents. Other than that it's been an ugly rainy day so I've been stuck at home. Honestly we've had more rain her in Florida than I've ever seen this time of year.

My goodness Ali, I am so happy for you. (hugs)
So, today after mom left out for work I called up my friend that I talked to yesterday over my laptop, but today using the cell phone. I have never ever talked so long over the phone, more than probably a whole decade combined of what I'd done in the past, around 5 hours talking about all sorts of stuff and conversation was wonderful. I am so comfortable with her, damn if only we lived closer to each other.
So it was a good day for me. :) I still can't believe I was on the phone for that long, I was like a teenage girl. ;D

I can't get nothing done in this rain and with my back, hip, and leg hurting so bad. However I did get some minor housework completed and I must try to do one more thing before I'm done for the day. One good thing -my job just called and said he'll bring his boat in tomorrow. So at least my customer hasn't abandoned me due to the rain.

In a really, really bad mood today, not sure why, but I ended up having to sleep it off when I got home from work and shopping. Mom dragged me to Goodwill, I didn't feel like shopping and didn't really bother looking. And while grocery shopping I just walked around feeling and looking pissed off. I just wanted to go home. And shortly after getting home I went to sleep, actually quietly crying myself to sleep. I need someone to make me smile because I have yet to today, I tried to a few times but it looked and felt forced. Actually I don't think I can today, maybe tomorrow. I think I'm hating my life, not me, I'm fine with me (well not completely), just everything else in it.

Well the job isn't extremely physical, so that helps. It isn't so much that I have energy though, it's that I literally cannot stand the idea of calling the surgeon and asking him to move the date again lol. I want to be able to go up to his office and pay him in full and get these puppies taken off. -_-

I actually would feel better being able to brighten up someone's day. I did have a nice talk with a friend earlier which brightened my day up some. And hopefully it won't rain tomorrow so what's bothering me today won't be then, lol! Seriously, if this keeps up Florida is gonna sink! I've never saw so much rain. Not even when I was in Seattle. It's a good thing I already have a boat. If this keeps up it'll be my main mode of transportation, lol! Pretty soon i'll need a life preserver to walk out my front door.

I had a panic attack at the grocery store. Nothing bad precipitated it, and it's been so long since I felt that way that it was mostly just confusing. I seriously felt like I was dying or something, went from doing coupon math to trembling and sweating and barely able to talk. I didn't recognize it for what it was until I was almost done shopping, so I gave my daughter the cash for her yugioh cards and asked her to go through a person checkout and go open the cards at a table where I could see her from the self-checkout. Scanning and paying for my stuff felt like leaping off a building in slow motion. Every tiny step was excruciating. I didn't throw up or pass out and my head didn't explode and really it was all nothing, just a trip to the grocery store. I forgot how disorienting and insane those experiential malfunctions can be. Mad props to anyone who deals with that regularly.
Other than losing my mind at Fred Meyer, I mostly cooked and cleaned and futzed around on the internet.

Another post about spiders . . . honestly it never ends
You could always take the fight to them
I'm glad you liked it. At least your mum doesn't have to deal with the camel or huntsman spider.
You were right about spiders trying to get into your bed, I had close call a while ago (story and picture below). I think next time I will try to capture one and interrogate it, also it will finally give me the chance to get a nice close up picture
well it was a tegenria domestica, since they're supposed to be "house" spiders I thought they would have good manners but if they decide to sue then it will cause problems . . . after I was finished dealing with the spider my dog came up the stairs to investigate the commotion. I thought nothing of it at first but then I noticed something. In the doorway I saw the mangled remains of another spider, he trampled it to death by accident. I don't think he knows how to fight a legal battle but he might have to learn quickly.
After the "incident" that happened a few days ago I thought it was all over, two spiders now lay dead. I thought it would be all clear so I relaxed a began to read some manga late at night. The shadows masked the walls of my room, the only source of light came from my electronic device. I thought the manga I was reading was rather . . . risqué and some of the characters were clearly insane. I also thought about becoming a fanfiction writer even though my writing and reading skills are sub-par.
Minutes flew by as I continued to read the manga. My eyes were starting to tire and I finally tore my attention from the screen. At that moment I noticed the assassin, poised to strike, mere centimetres above my head. Immediately I leapt into action, as I scrambled for the light switch I knew I had a perfect opportunity to take a good picture. I strolled up to the spider, device in hand ready to take the picture.
Before taking the picture I decided to watch the spindly spider's legs in action for a while. Suddenly the spider detached itself from the wall, landed on the bed and scurried across the pillow. My mood faltered, my perfect picture moment had been lost and now I could not go back to sleep. The spider was quite intelligent. It used the pillow's shadow to avoid the light.
Unfortunately for the spider I was getting tired and it had broken rule # 4 and almost managed to break rule # 2. I really wanted to got to sleep but I did not want to share my pillow with the spider so I prepared to terminate it. Again I pulled the bed away from the wall and prepared to strike but it was incredibly fast, it managed to avoid the first two blows. Frustration began to build up, I simply couldn't land a decisive hit.
It makes not a sound when it moves, its natural colour helps it to blend in with the shadows, it had incredible speed and agility but in the end it was no match for me. When the spider took refuge under a discarded sock it didn't know that it had made a grave mistake, it should've tried to run not hide. That momentary lapse in evasion gave me the chance I wanted. I managed to defeat the spider with a single devastating blow.
Now that three spiders lay dead I thought it was over. But then, a few days later, I noticed another spider scurrying across the floor wile I was downstairs playing video games. I am certain that is the last one. I just have to find it before it finds me . . .

Anyway back on topic. Today . . . today I hurt myself. I know what some people might think about that 'only a fool would hurt themselves' ect. But it was a complete accident.
The injury, which is minor/insignificant, was caused by a dream. Usually I like to have evidence or a source to back up my claims but this time there's only my word so I'll understand if this is unbelievable.
When I was younger my mum would come into my room at night and see the same thing often. Me, lying sprawled out on the floor. My sister also told me that she came into my room one night and saw me sit up, she tried to talk to me but didn't get a reply because I was asleep. She was confused so she questioned me in the morning, I was simply dumbfounded.
Recently i've being having having dream "fights". I don't often have dreams but when I do sometimes things will get violent. The sudden movement of my fist flying straight into the air will usually wake me up. Now I think that this is extremely odd because I only sleep on my front/side but when I awake i'm on my back.
Now i'm wondering how often I move in my sleep. I'm considering recording myself for a few nights to see if I do anything unusual.
This recent event has left me feeling drained and still slightly confused. This is the first time i've harmed myself because of a dream and I hope it will be the last.
I'm going to take a quick nap now, I think it will do me good

Actually it wasn't that kind of shopping. It was the shoe shopping where she kept asking me if it looked good, should she get it, etc.
I'm a boy and she's asking for my opinion as if I knew women's fashion and spending 3 hours in that store. XD

Three hours in a shoe store would definitely be a total bummer for anyone, well maybe not my spouse, you'd think she was a millipede if you saw all her shoes. But hey my friend, even men and boys can give their opinions to women on what looks good and what doesn't. Just never say that her butt looks fat in anything she's wearing unless you want to initiate WWIII. :D

I usually don't work on Sundays cause I'd rather be out in my boat catching fish, but for lack of $$ and all the rain last week I'll make an exception. I'll let y'all know how it turns out later.

Quote from: Neospector on August 16, 2014, 06:46:38 PMMy daughter is terrified of the lowest floor in the downtown Macy's because that's where they set up Santa Claus and all the animatronic reindeer every year. She's okay with the other floors, though, so I'd like to add that shopping with a young fashionista is rather similarly unpleasant. Half the time I don't even see the difference between any two things she wants me to give opinions on. Luckily we usually just look, so we don't have to deal with trying things on.
Went to my dentist and orthodontist appointment.
There was a gap between appointments so my mom dragged me to shop at Macy's.
Shopping with your mother should have its own circle in Dante's Inferno.
Today what I did was chase my cat around and try to clean his butt for him. He made it worse by scooting on the carpet, so when I catch him again I may have to try a warm washcloth. I'm tempted to just give him a haircut but I don't think I'm willing to trim his tail fur any.

If I had a gun, I would have shot myself in the head since this shopping spree was midmorning-noon and I was still sleepy.
But she made it up to me by saying that I'll treat you to some ice cream and Burger King if you can carry the bags and tolerate shopping.

I don't see the difference between certain things when my mom asks for my opinion and she asks for it when she's getting ready for work too. In the end, after she exhausts me with countless questions, I just tell her that if she likes it more than the other item then just go buy or wear it!

I helped out a widow neighbor friend in need today. It always makes me feel good to be able to help someone.
Then I went to the pharmacy to pick up my E. No biggies just everyday stuff round here.

I didn't get much done today. I'm still waiting on parts for work. So I did my usual housework and then made dinner, then mixed icky medicine, and I'm relaxing as I read threads here, nothing much, lol! At least our weather is breaking. That's something. A little early for it but I'll take it!

Can't properly make a humorous comment without saying something antisemitic. Needless to say you're going to have as much of a problem as I did trying to get my money back from a Chinese food delivery that was never delivered and I paid with my card over the phone.

Today I was a good parent and I also attending a writing class, but my gosh I turtled up so hard for most of the day. I've been avoiding my phone and email for days and procrastinating on housework, and I am supposed to take my testosterone on Tuesdays but Target gave me a vial that is badly leaky. I want to go in and show them before I use any more of it and I'm nervous about that. They didn't give me equipment either, and the best I could get from Fred Meyer were skinny insulin syringes and needle gauges I'm not comfortable with. I need to work on being more confident with strangers when it comes to transition stuff.

I worked an 8 hour shift, and then finished moving from my unit back to my parents house, and replaced one of the bottom windows in my bedroom with a sheet of perspex that has a dog door in the middle of it for Burrito.
Also, I ate frozen berries. So. Fingers crossed I don't get hepatitis?

Oh yes, people in Australia are getting Hep A from frozen berries imported from China and Chili. However, I ate a different brand of berries, that being said, they were still imported berries.

I know that in particular Nanna's recalled their 1kg bags of mixed berries, and Creative Gourmet recalled their 500g and 300g mixed berries, as well as their 1kg bags of raspberries. Supposedly they were all packaged in the same plant, and rumor has it it was just an employees dirty hands that started it all. That, or they came into contact with sewage. Which. Y'know. EW.

Today was a regular old day, just went to work and came home. I did make two notable decisions though. I decided to change my diet and start working out again to try and stop gaining weight... and possibly lose some of what I've gained since college. I also decided to try therapy instead of acknowledging that it is a good idea but find reasons why it's not for me.

Today I did regular life stuff, and also I injected in a new site because I'm trying to be diligent about rotating so I don't build up too much scar tissue. It's unfortunate that I realized I should do that only after being lazy and bumbling into problems, but I know that my healthcare people are still learning themselves.
Also today I looked up old addresses on google street view and realized what an incredible hick I am. Lol.
