I'm learning. Lol. I'll get it figured soon or later

Well another week and another pile to deal with plus some good. So the good is I hired another trans woman to work for me. I now have two people from our community plus a mom of a trans male on staff. I also have two seniors as well. We just finished a huge three day parkade cleaning and we all went home beat. I'm getting my clearances in place to volunteer and be a mentor for trans youth with a local group. That should be a wonderful experience.
So on the ->-bleeped-<- storm front, the step son decided to grace our home with his presence, along with it his wife and the two grandkids that my wife had not seen since Christmas.
Wow what generosity on his behalf to finally come around for a visit. Of course while I was at work across the city and to add salt to the wound there was a caveat. They wanted a guarantee that I would not be around or come home while they were there.
Well ain't that just a kick in the face, this is the same person that believes his youngest may be gay but can accept him openly if he is. This is the same person that is sworn to serve and protect everyone in the city, yes he's a cop. His wife feels the same about me, she is a physc nurse and works with all sort of people and should be understanding and caring.
They finally moved their trailer out of my space but didn't bother telling us so now I'm stuck paying for an empty space for another month so I can cancel it for the 15th.
Like I said they just take take take. My wife has always spent $200 each on Christmas presents and $75 on birthday presents, she didn't even get a mother's day card and of course no Father's Day cards. For Christmas They bought her a $10 warming plate for her coffee cup and I got a small box of trivia cards. Even my wife is getting to the end of her patience with them.   
We just can't understand the BS out of these people. I have finally written them off and I won't let it bother me any more. I'm better than they are and I know it.
Just found out the BP med ( valsartan ) in generic form is contaminated with a know liver carcinogen and the none generic is 3 month back ordered. So switching meds and dealing with the crazy swings until I get dosage set and my body balanced.
Nine days until my next injection and final settling of my orchi date. Would love the first week of August but not up to me. Getting so happy that it's so close. I'm already feeling a couple nuts lighter.

Dear Donna:   Wow-whee.... what a wonderful presentation and progression showing your HRT and transition progress.   Big significant changes are quite evident.   The "pills" along with your grooming are doing their magic.   
Welcome to the world as a woman that you are.

Thank you for sharing with all of your readers and followers.... 
....we will be looking forward to you continued updates as you feel comfortable posting them.

Hugs and well wishes as always...
Danielle

Thank you and I appreciate the comments. I look forward to each and every new day and I take the trials and tribulations as a learning and growing experience.

Hi Donna,
I just want to say that as a boy looking into mtf (actually I cross dressed the first time yesterday) your story is incredibly inspiring and gives me a lot of hope. I was actually molested when I was younger as well and you make me feel a lot better and helps me worry less about the future!
Thanks so much!
Lots of love,
Maria! X

Well thank you. I think I've said it before. If I can help even one person then everything has been worth while.
Feel feee to PM

Dear Donna,                       16 July 2018

Like I said before, every time you post a new avatar you are absolutely beautiful.

Hope all is well in you and your wife's lives.

Back posting; have to have an outlet for my wiseass comments.

Have a visit with my primary doctor this afternoon at 1420 hrs; think I may have a UTI so I'll have a Urine test to verify. Also need to discuss my upcoming annual physical and the tests we need to run. I'm in the fourth quarter of my life and I plan to make it through with a few overtimes thrown in. My goal is to be the oldest MTF transsexual on spaceship Earth. So take care of yourself, I'd like you there when I arrive.

Best Always, All my Love,
Christine

I am wishing you well with your doctor appointment today and your upcoming annual physical exam and the subsequent tests that your doctor wants for you.

I am certain that all of us on the forums want you to succeed with your goal "to be the oldest MTF transsexual on spaceship Earth."   Of course pictures will be forthcoming.... right?

It is indeed a pleasure to see your renewed activity on the forums along with your "wise" comments.

Thanks Danielle for the kind words. Do you know why they don't allow Donkey's in collage?.... No one like a smartass. I got that way in catholic school; nine miserable years of it. I got even with them by switching genders. I wish those old hags were still around so I could rub their noses in how happy I am to be trans. Next time I go back to where I grew up, I'm going to take a stethoscope with me so I can visit their graves. I want to listen for the sounds of them spinning around in their boxes.

Thank you Donna; I do appreciate your candid posts on all the events in your life. You have endured and succeeded in rising above it all. Your postings have to have helped others that have experienced similar abuse. It helps them realize they are not alone and that you can rise above it all. You are truly a blessing to the world.

Best Always, All My Love,
Christine

So off to the counsellor today. Had a quick chat about the last two weeks and then got on to the important part. We reviewed my gender identity disorder assessment today. This will be cleaned up( a couple med mistakes) and then it will be signed and sent off to my new transgender care doctor. She is such a wonderful and caring person and she specifically trained to do this job for all of us transgenders that are having a hard time with the wait lists. She trained under one of the best here in the city and I got in the day after I phoned for an appointment. She will be changing my estrogen routine to balance out with the orchi. Well next Monday I get the date set in August  for the removal of the jewels and their friends( cysts). I've been at castrate levels now for over two months and the feeling is amazing. The doc wanted to make sure I could handle it, well of course I can and I'm loving it.
So I have come up with a new coping mechanism thanks to my counsellor to deal with the family issues. Her suggestion was to write down everything that bothers me, read them a couple time and then print them out and burn them like trash. It's funny but it works for me. I get the ->-bleeped-<- out of my head and to actually see those words go up in smoke is liberating. Marilyn and I are making headway thru her part of transitioning, it's odd to think that she has to transition as well and that transition forced on her. We want more than anything to stay together and my dropping the resentment against family takes even more strain off our moving forward together. She would like my voice to stay unchanged around her and I can give her that and understand her reasoning. She can still hear him and be comforted by a familiar voice but see a new love in her life in Donna. This is becoming a very interesting part of the journey. I'm finding more and more that the little guy really doesn't bother me anymore, don't really even notice or think about it anymore and that help me relax about a final decision about future surgery. A lot of my hair is thinning out and laser and electrolysis is fixing the rest all for the better.
And now for the rest of the story——————- later

@Donna ... a wonderful and nicely detailed good news update. 

ah ha... And now for the rest of the story- - - - - later

Your readers and followers with be impatiently waiting!!!!

Hugs and well wishes,
Danielle

Hey, Donna,
                 I don't post here much, cause I hate keyboarding. I will say you are a role model not only for me but for the community.  I think it is important to add that when our family lets us down, we have the sisterhood and  Susan's to prop us up until we can stand up again. I'm having some issues with family, but the community is always here. For that i am grateful.  BTW I love the pink dress.    Chat soon.
