I wish I could figure out why my self esteem, low as it usually is, simply got up and left on vacation these past couple of days.

I may be a little slow, but isn't low self esteem going on vacation mean that it's high now?

I fly home today!  And just when I was getting used to mid-60s and sunny every day...

No, it means it got up, gave me a dirty look and slammed the door on the way out, leaving me with no self esteem at all.

Feeling pretty gosh darn low.

A huge hug to both of you!  I hope your day gets better from here!

Does anyone know of any support groups for parents of trans* people?  I think my mom needs one, and one that is hopefully positive and will help her realize I'm still the same person.

I has a few thoughts.

I'm sorry that happened. If you'd like I can stick my Marine foot in its ass and get it up for you

I need to work on my time management skills. I was running earlier than I normally do so I decide to do a little shopping well I spent over an hour shopping. Now I'm totally running late to the gym.

As far as I know, PFLAG includes trans people and friends and family of trans people (at least, it does officially in Canada).

I found that, at least in the US, officially doesn't mean a lot when it comes to the individuals running the chapters though. I'm sure some are great, but even gay people and their supporters can have issues with trans people.

My puppy just lost her baby tooth, I'm playing with it right nao.

I almost freaked out when my little guy lost his baby teeth, I thought something was wrong with him as I didn't know dogs had baby teeth like that until I looked it up. I still have a couple of them too.

I love my sister.  She really is a good person.

I'm thinking, as a result of reading the last series of posts made by Keaira and I, that I am really lucky to have her friendship. Sometimes, I rant and rave and yell over some not-so-important stuff. ESPECIALLY a day or two before a T shot, although I am getting better. And sure, she can have a laugh at it when it's silly, or maybe tell me I'm being whiny. I know it can really "grind her gears" But she never does that while I'm talking. She always sits there and listens to me and lets me finish. And she makes sure I'm OK before she has a laugh or jab at my expense, and lets me get it out before she gives the tough love. I appreciate it, because honestly, I don't know if I'd ever listen to myself. :|

She's a really good friend and a really good person. Which is why I am making an effort to be more mature and in control of the crappiness I feel before a shot.

Well, you are not a thing, you self-deprecating little lady.

The local PFLAG chapter has a transwoman in it. :3  But that's all I really know.

In regards to puppy teeth...I didn't realize dogs lost theirs until my sister found three of Harley's and gave them to me. :3  I still have them.

It turns out I'm also "in tune" with my dog.  I can hear whining downstairs when my dad is getting snacks for the dogs, but apparently the whining is really low and he says he can barely hear her. o.o But I can hear her all the way in my bedroom.

Well, I like the tongue better than the claws.
