Thanks everyone, things are really starting to fall into place.  Now to go get used to being a poor college student again...

That's awesome news Colleen!  Party time again!  ( I had so much fun going through University )

Sonja.

My main guitar cable developed a short in it so I ordered a 2 pack of replacements because they were on a good special

It only took two days shipping and I think I saved about ten bucks Plus when they arrived today the UPS man ma'amed me LOL  That lifted my spirits a bit

Thanks Sarah and Sonja.  I'm not sure how much partying I'll be doing this time around, but it's going to be nice having a "job" where I'm not traveling constantly and living out of hotels.

The invasion of Christmas town, a little late, but here it is.

 

I approve!

  I love it!

Oh, got a call for an interview up in Kansas City next Monday. Fingers crossed!!!

Guess things really are serious!  Anything especially exciting? 


For me, I finally got my house on the market last night and not two hours after my agent listed it she already had our first showing scheduled.

Wow, that's fast! My interview's with another library. I've got a good feeling about this one.

Well that's good news. And if you like what you do, why not continue?

As for the house, yeah the market is insane in the KC area right now. I have it priced on the high side since I like to haggle and buyers are still going nuts.

Wow, am I ever happy today!!!!  It has just become common knowledge in my small town regarding my transition journey to a full-time female..... and ALL of my friends and acquaintances that had only known me as a woman are still my friends and acquaintances.   
I am sure that there will be some that do not approve but for the most part everyone I have talked to today is very supportive and accepting..... 
YES ... this is what made me happy today.

That is so cool, Danielle! I'm going through something similar myself right now and I'm blown away by how cool my friends are. I'll be writing more in my own thread when I have more time.

Congratulations!

Stephanie:   Thanks for your reply... 
... I will be waiting (impatiently) for your update on your thread.

I think that what we are going through that the majority of transitioners go through it too in some for and at some places .... home, family, friends, job, co-workers, etc....  if they don't, they are very fortunate indeed.

Hugs,
Danielle

That's awesome Danielle!! I'm so happy it's working out OK. Your friends know you for who you are now, and that should be all that matters.

Well, I am happy for a number of reasons, one being that my daughter and I are both happy as we just purchased a spank'n brand new 2018 Nissan Sentra which we promptly took on an adventure to the Red Rocks around Vegas, lol.

We also stopped at a hamburger place called Farmer Boys (which I only saw women working, humm) and I had a pastrami sandwich on ciabatta bread which I love with MAYO.

Somewhere in the middle after getting the new car we went to CostCo and I purchased the 6 month supply of their Rogaine hair stuff and applied it a little while ago.

And we stopped at one of the mini-casinos and my daughter turned the 30 I have given her into 73 and promptly returned my 30 and we arrived home.

Quite a nice day if you ask me.

I am soooooooooooooooo happy my adopted daughter of the turn of events in the tundra and am sooooo glad things didn't require alien intervention!!!!!

My mom brought me some hot chocolate and cookies into my room tonight. She then told me she was proud of the things I am trying to do, and the things that I have done. It seems she worry's about my constant depression and stress that I face on a daily basis. Her words and kindness helps more then she knows...

After chopping out a hole in my panel van chassis and trying to fit 90 deg box found by flipping it it fits perfectly and lines up with steering column.

Heya TicTac:  that is terrific news...  wow, having support from your mom really means a lot.  Yes, kind and supporting words from her would certainly help to get you out of your depression.
I found the only picture of yourself that you posted on your very first posting on March 27... I think that you look very nice....  I am not into Goth... but black does look good on you.   From time to time on appropriate threads please feel free to keep us posted with your updates and even a picture occasionally would be nice.

... also that is terrific news about the hot chocolate and cookies.....   hmmm, now I am envious of that... I will have to go next door to the coffee shop and get a treat to bring back to my office... perhaps an espresso and some chocolate chip cookies......

Thanks for posting and always feel very free to post your updates and anything else on your mind related to your transition journey.
Wishing you well.......
Danielle

@ davina:  What? No pictures of your project van repairs?   
Curious minds want to know.

Best wishes,
