Mine was great! Woke up and my boobs were a little bigger AND got a new dress via Amazon.The only down side is I gotta do my taxes ... ugh!!! Hope everyone here had a good day! ((hugs)) to this community, appreciate you all!

I did not wake up to bigger boobs.
However my tax returns have been processed.
I did not receive a new dress today but I did find a nice Bohemian style top priced low.

I did walk a lot today, did have a nice dinner with a friend, and will try to have a relaxing rest of the evening.

I am glad that you had a nice day today.

I don't pay taxes. I refuse to support terrorist organizations.
I did not receive a new dress, but that's because I am saving my shopping money until after I move.
I did walk a lot today, mostly just taking things off the wall, wiping the dust off, and putting it in a box. Progress!

Not every day is this exciting, so I take what I can get. Hope yours was excellent.

Oh my you're moving ... I hate moving! Good luck with the move let us know how it goes! If you find you have too many dresses to move, please send the extras to me! :)

Yes, I plan to leave my beloved Black Hills and return to my homeland in Colorado, probably in July. I'll be making a "scouting" trip to the Pueblo area in May, then return in June to hopefully secure a new place.

Technically, I only own one dress. Haven't been much for dresses as I don't have the legs for them.  ;D I do have a few T-shirt dresses that seem to have gotten shorter over the years, so they are more like long T-shirts now.

Speaking of addictions, ... I have discovered that I have WAY too many bras. My anticipated breast growth did not proceed as I expected, so I have a lot. They make good packing material.  ;D

I woke up today and felt happy and content . I stopped at Ulta, and went to get something to eat at Hooters before work. 15 minutes left for me at work for the night. 😀

I did a 7 day road trip a few years ago and stayed in the black hills when I made my way back east going home. Such a beautiful part of the country.

I started coming here in 2011 to spend my summers gold prospecting and I fell in love with the Black Hills. I moved here ten years ago and I still love it. But lately, politics have become dangerous for me, so I will vote with my feet and go where I am more welcome.

I woke up, looked down. No bigger boobs. Crap!

I have way too many dresses but I have culled the bra herd and donated them to a trans clothes closet at the Keystone Conference.

I hope your move goes smoothly @Lori Dee .

We made 21 moves in 26 years while in the Army. My next move, hopefully, will be into a biodegradable urn.  :D

Have a wonderful day, everyone, and look for the goodness in it!! It's there.

I'm also interested in gold prospecting. Find the quartz find the gold kind of thing in areas where people are not looking for gold. My sis has property in VA that is worth exploring. Well, I would love to have you as a neighbor :) and best wishes ...

If you haven't checked it out, I have several articles about gold prospecting on my website. Just click the blue globe icon in my profile.  ;D

Today was full, and honestly... pretty beautiful in its own way.

I was up early. The city was still quiet, and I actually love those early hours.

Went to the supermarket and the bank to take care of a few errands. Then at around 10am, I met with "J", my lgbtq+ therapist, talked about my transition process. It felt good to have space to speak openly and be heard.

After that, went home, took a nice shower and got myself ready to meet the group around 12:30pm.

We headed out to Carnegie Hall for a small exclusive concert. We got there around 1:30pm, and let me just say, the music was excellent. It lasted about three hours, but it flew by. I felt so present during it.

After the concert, I spent a little time walking around near Columbus Circle, just window shopping and taking in the city.

It was a nice moment of peace and freedom. Got home around 7pm, took another shower, cooked myself a warm dinner, and now I'm journaling and answering some emails before winding down.

A full day with lots of little blessings.

How was your day?

Not a bad week managed to do a total of ten miles on two seperate days, found replacement jeans on ebay as my old favorites have become worn and had a lovely evening out on wednesday with friends,going to colour my hair this evening rounding off with this sunday a few of us are getting together to go for a meal.

I woke up, and realized I was alive another day and wishing my boobs were bigger and I knew of some easy way to make them bigger.

I watered trees. Between early April and late October, my primary purpose in life is to water trees. But it's not like real work; it's meditation, silence, and Sunday worship without needing nice clothes or a way to get there. Oh, and I changed my avatar to a photograph of the real me (call me Annika if Mrs. Oliphant is becoming tedious). That felt really, really good and seemed like an act of courage or, at the very least, affirmation.

Nice to see you, Annika! I love the hat!

It is nothing less than a courageous act! Well Done Beautiful Sister! I believe you will find that one courageous step inspires the next!

Onward!

Rough start this morning, I was an hour late to my electrolysis appointment, which threw off the rest of the day. That delay carried over to picking up my son from his maternal grandparents' house. He's spending the weekend with me, and I really wanted the day to go smoothly.

We ended up running late to Monster Mini Golf in Paramus, NJ, but we still made the most of it. After we got home, he took a shower while I cooked him a warm meal. He ended up falling asleep on the couch while watching The Wild Robot, and honestly, that's okay.

He can crash there for the night.  ;D

Now it's just me time, finally catching my breath. 

I went mountain biking, stopped for a post ride adult beverage, came home, grilled a few burgers, and went and got ice cream. Dealt with dysphoria on and off today. 

Quote from: Alana1990 on April 12, 2025, 11:11:50 PMDealt with dysphoria on and off today. 

For me, ice cream helps with that.  ;D

 Chocolate is my "go to" for help with just about any issue that I experience in my life.

And my go-to is chocolate ice cream with chocolate fudge chunks. Good for what ails ya. ;D

I am a slave to chocolate

Chocolate. Oh, and Sea Salt Caramel ice cream.

As noted by others, ice cream and chocolate seem to work for me as well. ;D  Actually today I was dealing with some dysphoria on and off as well. Not sure why, it just sorta creeps in there sometimes. Sometimes it seems to tell me to shut down, but I keep moving forward. I put on my best dress and looked in the mirror and that got me back on track. :) Best wishes sweetie ...

I had such a lovely day with my son.

We went out for breakfast and lunch, then headed back to my place. He had me gaming all afternoon, and let's just say, I was a little rusty! It's been a while, and he definitely enjoyed mercilessly defeating me.

So, I've decided this whole week is going to be my training arc. I'll be ready for him next weekend, game on! 🎮🕹

Now it's just me, some quiet, and a box of chocolates.

Life's sweet.  ;D

I've been dealing with it since last Sunday. The last few days it's been causing me a lot of pain. I push on though. I'm hoping going to the gym tomorrow morning and lifting weights, and running will help.

@Alana1990  @Sinclair
I am so very sorry to read of the issues that both of you ladies are
dealing with.  I trust that things will get better for each of you very soon.

HUGS and best wishes,    ❤️❤️❤️

Even though I enjoyed going to my church this Sunday morning and
then as usual I went out to lunch with a few of my gal friends from church....

... I spent the rest of the afternoon at my CPA office with both of my part time
employees catching up on the last minute tax prep and income tax filings for my
procrastinating tax clients.  The IRS Due Date for filing Annual Income Taxes is
the day after tomorrow, Tuesday April 15th. 

Work, no play, makes me very tired!!!!

Hi Star, did my taxes Sat .. took two hours via Turbo Tax... ughhh ... plus, they now charge way more this year. Got a refund coming though. Might buy a new dress ... *smiles* Taxes are over, time to play!!

A quiet day here.  I went to the weekday service at my local Baptist church, which was somewhat emotional in view of the time of year.  Then coffee and cake and chat.  Nothing else planned.

So, today was Monday .. not my fav day of the week. I think it goes back to elementary school when starting the weekend was so exciting, you could stay up late and watch a movie or other activities and look forward to sleeping in the next day. Then comes Sunday night ... prolly the most often time one hears from their parents that "it's a school night, get to bed!"

Funny how such old things still hang around. And, it never goes away ... because we don't have school Monday anymore, now we have work.

Made me think of this classic song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsmVgoXDq2w

Anyways, besides all that it was a good Monday for me as I got a another nice smile from someone that I think will lead to something more! :)

Easter is usually a ham dinner al la my step mothers Virginia roots.

This year with empty nest, we were invited to my eldest Son and his wife's home for Easter Brunch.  Being vegetarian, my daughter-in-law accommodates her carnivore husband occasionally, so she'll put out scrambled eggs, cream cheese bagels and lox, potatoes O'Brian, many many fruits and Jam........just like the buffet at Yellowstone Inn!
 
I'm wanting to Smoke something.  Anything!  I smelled it yesterday in my neighborhood.

Monday was very good, but slower than I like.  Makes the day drag.

I kind of find that funny between Canada and the US, since I just took my taxes to my accountant today, and yet I've had people telling me that taxes were due on April 15 (I pointed out that that was in the US).  However here in Canada the last day to file your taxes so that you are not late is April 30.  However I can just imagine how busy my accountant is right now 8 days before deadline.
