I toss celery and carrots in the slow cooker when cooking beef.  Sometimes onions as well.

Do you like to eat celery?

Raw or cooked?

This evening I had breaded chicken breast strips cooked in my air fryer.
Plus a small salad.

Saturday I had an early evening, really a late afternoon meal, with my sweetie.
She had a NY steak and baked potato and I had a ribeye with a baked potato.
She provided dessert at her place.  It was carrot cake and ice cream.  Yum.

Friday I had a half a foot long Philly beef and cheese sub sandwich.

I cannot imagine not wearing bras away from home or beach if one is big up there, such as with 400cc - 500cc and more implants or D or bigger cups.  I would think that support is needed or at least it seems advised.  But, as I am only a B cup I cannot speak for women with those breast sizes.  I would not know from experience.  Maybe a bra is not needed except for exercise support.  I would think though that the band of the bra for support would make it easier on the back over time.

When I transitioned, bras were awesome! They were the most incredibly affirming piece of clothing I could wear. After a year or two, I realized how incredibly hot they were in the Summer. Unless I'm wearing something that demands a bra, I don't wear one at all now.

I have physical tomorrow with a new doctor. My old doctor quit his practice. I get my HRT through PP... I have to tell the doctor I'm on hrt. What's the best way to tell them on hrt, and transgender? I know doctors see and hear all sorts of crazy things, but I'm nervous to bring it up.

I never pictured Montana having prickly pear cactus. When I think of Montana, I think of grassland, mountains, and snow.

All of my dad's friends mention his sense of humor, how friendly he was, and that he was always willing to help. My brother and I were always in fear of him. I wish I had known the person his friends knew. I have brought a few items of his home, the items that reminded me of the one shared joy we had -- fishing. I have my dad's tackle box with all of his lures, and his fishing rods with the last two lures he ever used still attached. I will also keep his legal, tax, military, and medical records for now. I don't want to dispose of part of our family history simply because I'm still dealing with the trauma he put me through.

We successfully moved the second grandfather clock, my mom's wooden chest, and my grandmother's rocking chair to our house on Friday. We returned to my dad's house Friday evening. Saturday morning, several people arrived to look through the car parts again, and one group was there to buy the last five of my dad's old cars. They were 'parts' cars, so they were not complete. Only one had an engine, and one didn't even have doors. The cars had been sitting under the trees for at least 20 years, and it took a lot of work to get them loaded on a trailer. They could only take one at a time, so they made two trips Saturday, and two trips Sunday. They will return next Saturday to get the last one, an old Pontiac, along with a few other car parts.

There aren't any large items we still want to take back to our house, but we need to get the photos and several other small items. We may drive down Thursday afternoon, then make a round trip on Friday to bring all the photos back to our house. I plan to scan all of them, then ship out the originals to family members who want them. I will also provide a copy of all the scanned images to each family member. It's going to take some time, but I feel it's important.

Our home purchase in Colorado is still moving forward. So far, none of the inspections have indicated anything frightening. We're still on track to close the purchase on 28 July.
