Cryed like a baby!

@RockerGirl no problem!  Just be confident. 

My mom gave me .72 cents omg I'm so happy!!!!!  On top of that, she ALSO gave me a small Hershey's cookies and cream bar.   

Thanks King Malachite! I'm freaking out right now even though I'll be fine in the interview. The male shell is a calm persona under stress:(

Today I was told that I "looked like a girl". I'm pretty sure it was meant in a disparaging way, but I could not fight the smile and said, "Thank you."

I woke up with the warm sun's rays on my face. ^_^ and slept in , too!

First, Janis!  Congrats on!  new grandbaby to spoil!  (I hope you get the chance!)
Second, Jess..  LOVE YOU, GURL!!

ok..  today started off badly.. had a t-sister, nearly out me with a FB reply to a post i put up last night..  I removed it, then PM'd her asking "what were you thinking?"  (theres more of course).. she replied she makes no apologies for anything and if I didnt want her commenting on my posts to just block her.  Now, I am not the kind to just block/drop someone for that.. I'm funny that way.. you pretty much have to stick me to get me to drop you..   But she got me so freakin angry..  angrier than I have been in a long time..  havent been this angry since my boss bought the company i now work for  ..

wait, Paula, this is supposed to be WMYHT...

ok..I'll tell ya..     had my endo appt today.. third one with my new doc.. She's kinda loud, pretty, warm, genuine (I think) and nice to talk to.  had my blood levels draws last week, and I got the results.. 

T... is (waaaaait for itttttt... ) 147!!     WOOHOO!!!  down from 477 in May!!  GAWD I loved that news!  I didnt get the specific # for my E, but I have to check the Patient Portal for lab work..   I asked her, ok..  can I ramp it up now?  I would like to at least double what I'm on now (low dose).. she said absolutely!!   Said also the acne I'm getting on back/shoulders is likely from the E, but increasing the E now, may lessen/stop it, I exfoliate with the scrunchy in the shower each time.. so it isnt clogged pores.. and if it is.. some 80grit sandpaper on the palm sander should fix that  :/

So, now (couple hrs ago, actually), I'm at nearly normal dosages now..  (whew!)  Soo freakin happy (no not gonna sing that song, hate it!), i have nearly fogotten what my callous, insensitive, uncaring, nosy, non-thinking friend/sister nearly caused this morning.

some other not so great news..   my bp is still elevated, up 50/30pts (sys/dy) from what it normally is.. so.. started on BP meds today too, and my cholesterol is -still- elevated.. but she wants me to continue on the diet, and work on the BP problem first..  (sigh) there go my burgers and fries..  Starkist, yer my new favorite friend.. 

Second greatest thing that made me happy?  For yesterday.. it was these!  My. Very. First. Pair!  $8 Candi's.. gawd, I love them!  I spent 6hrs in them, did not stumble once!!  Only tactical mistake (and you can prob guess) the sox I wore buying them, are a lil thicker than i normally wear.. so, with thinner, they're a bit loose.. these are 10's, when I could actually go with a 9, or 9 1/2..  but til my feet really shrink from the E.. they'll be perfect!

Got to see the counsellor who helped me a ton a couple years back, and she was just as helpful today. I don't know what it is, she just seems to ask the right questions. Like I talk to myself about my problems, and I can't speak about them with relative clarity, but she picks up on small details that I don't always consider in my self-reflection. She's also good with strategies and she is someone I feel I can be honest with. I mean, I basically told her all of my flaws with complete and total candor. But not in a self-deprecating way, in a way that really made me question why I do the things I do. I feel good about the homework I'll be doing over the next two weeks.

I found a penny.

Woooow today was amazing!

I volunteered at the bird rehabilitation center again and worked with some geese and ducks, which was quite fun (although very messy). At the end of my hours I spotted a hawk in a tree, which explains why the crows we released last week seem to be upset. Damn big shots stealing all of the good hunting spots.
Later on I had an interview at a coffee joint, and it seems that I've got the job! I'm concerned that they'll make me take out my eyebrow piercing, but I could always buy a clear one or put a band-aid over it if it's an issue.
Aaaand last but certainly not least, I got a date on Sunday! I confessed to my crush after several attempts where I chickened out, and she said she has thought about dating me as well. We're going to an eco-museum for a date to see how things go!

Excuse me as I sing 'We Are The Champions' after such an incredibly fantastic day.

I finally got bangs

I'm catching up on this thread and it makes me happy.

The big non-internet thing that made me happy today was finding out that we got the apartment we applied for. We've been on various rent-control and program lists for fifteen years, and we finally got to the top of one we can afford. We don't have to have roommates or cosigners, there are cameras in the halls (so we can piece together what happened if my kid hurts someone or runs off), and the place is full of elderly people who will hopefully be much quieter than the neighbors I have now. We get to keep our cat, who is very important to us.

I don't know how to be normal when I don't feel safe, and I'm thrilled that things might be settling down.

Looking after my 4 year old nephew today for 8hrs while my sister worked. This was the first time I have ever spent any time with him. So it did make the very little sleep I had the night before and the 2.5hr bus trip very much worthwhile

I got my pay deposited today!

Good news Felix, you deserve it for hanging in there so steadfastly!

Been talking online to someone for this past week, who says she thinks I am pretty, awesome, cute, fantab, etc, She is trying to boost my confidence and keep me happy and I appreciate, though in the end I doubt it will improve but she has sworn to continue trying until it does. Nothing more behind it than that from what I can tell. Nice of her and I think the same way of her. It helps having someone talk to, well that started talking to you and of which you aren't bothering(I hope I am not). It isn't much but it is something.

Finding/getting change

My mom was helping me pick a name and we chose one. As we were shopping after we ate at Burger King, she was telling me about a transsexual woman who comes in for therapy. This one therapist laughs at her behind her back while the other therapists looking uncomfortable at her because they know it's wrong to do that. My mom said that she talks with the woman just like any other person, saying that it made her smile and had her open up. Turns out my mom is scared more than anything about me transitioning because she saw one time how this transsexual women who was walking around with her head down and with a stiff body, while people looked at her like she was a freak. She assumes the same will happen to me though she claims I don't care what the neighbors will say.
