Davina's diary

[Cassi]

Girl, please be careful!  HRT reduces muscle mass and that includes your back.  There is also an upside - correctly monitored HRT can reduce or halt bone density loss from aging - but your brain hasn't had time to adapt to reduced lifting strength. 

When I was younger I lifted a Ford 289 V-8 engine block off a bench and set it onto my truck's tailgate.  I had an engine crane nearby but it was faster to just pick the thing up myself.  The engine block was empty (no crankshaft etc) but these days I can't even open a new kitchen jar without using oil filter pliers.

Funny you should mention this.  Just a little while ago I was trying to put some plates I wash back into the cupboard and actually had 4 of them together which wasn't an issue before but had issues holding them and I've only been on the HRT for two months.

Well I did reply but it went walkabout!!!! Yes have lifted my bare 340 mopar block from the floor to the bench. Have an old back injury and the twisting motion of lifting the bag up the last steps 3 at a time and then climbing aggravated it.

back has got much better thanks, anyway went to Hot Rod club night yesterday and wore my skinny jeans that used to be baggy around the bum. They are not baggy anymore!!!!!!! Still trying to co-ordinate my friend to sign deed pol so need to work out my next day off and go with him to my solicitor. Wanted to get my manager to sort my next lieu day today so as I have the day of tomorrow I could arrange  every thing but he never got around to it. Docs first thing for jab then need to get some new work boots, feel a cake bake coming.

Went for my injection first thing, she said is it painful and I nearly did a Devlin as the reply  went through my mind "its just a little prick, well It is after this!!" but I am too polite and said its fine thanks . Right of to the shop for boots, hand cream, wine ! that's not a shopping list you see every day.

May be a little unusual but a mighty fine list though

Ah, such a party animal!

Ha, had a flashback of Crocodile Dundee. 'That's not a needle, this is a needle!' Your nurse wasn't an Aussie by any chance?

Peace and love and all that good stuff,

The new work boots, well always been a size 10 (uk) but tried on some 9s and they fit perfectly and after 1 day did not make my feet sore.. Rushing this morning and took my old patch off then forgot to put the new one on. First thing tonight so sorted now. My new breast forms came , not sure if I have done the right thing by ordering tear drop shape as they need gluing at the top to stay put and blend but a much better shape.

Davina did you get gender affirming work boots?  I've been trying to find some.

Bobbisue please let me know, pm please.  I've been using red wings and although they are comfortable, they make me sad every time I see them.

I have teardrop ones that I bought quite some time ago and have worn very rarely....they do look great and can be glued on or simply inserted in the correct size bra. Hope they look great on you

Had a captive for the weekend but she has slipped my grasp again, force fed her home made veg samosas followed by veg curry and chicken and tomato curry then salmon curry all with rice and roti (flat breads) After dragging her to see my drag car and camper ect she was forced to eat a ham salad . That nearly kept her here as she started to slip into a cationic state but a cup of brownish liquid with milk and sugar  must have been the antidote. Just hope her 2 wheeled steed gets her home ok, have a week off soon so promised to seek her out and force feed a curry again!!!

[Shy]

I bet you're a wonderful host Davina, and your curries are legendary. Was the brownish liquid tea or chai?

Peace and love and all that good stuff,

No Sadie coffee the elixir of life!!!!! The work boots brown suede effect steel toe cap ankle cut , they will soon be black and oily!!!!! Its a mucky job working on cars.

Had to go to the other branch today to cover testing, they couldn't organize a p**S up in a brewery if some one opened the bottles and put the glasses out ready. Changed the order they wanted the tests done in and then didn't tell me (working of a sheet/list) and got arsy as started to test the "wrong" one . My reply did not go down well!!!!!!!! and then my last test was at 3.10 so did some paper work, went in office and there is a 4pm test on the board . Its now 4.30 and was told could leave at 5, said that's great thanks for telling me and he said its been on the board all day, turns out some one had booked on line and the other receptionist never said. He did apologise but that meant it  was 5 .20 when I left work and due to the road works took me over 1/2 an hour to get 3miles . Have to go on a diversion of  4 or 5 miles as well due to road closed through centre of town so took me nearly 1hour to do 20 min journey . On the 20th they are also closing a road that's part of the diversion (WTF) rant, rant. Wish I could retire now, anyway of to docs in the morning for check up first thing so will take it slow going to work after (they can bloody well wait!!!!)

   Now now now Miss Davina you just calm yourself down before you pop a freeze plug. It's not worth getting all worked up over. It happened. It's over. You survived.
   Good Girl.

  I'm glad you fed your waif well before sending her on here way. She did show me a picture of you slaving over a hot stove with a big smile on your face.

  Hugs,
    Laurie

One of those days eh, Davina? We all get 'em and we all like to forget 'em. Hope today is better for you .

Peace and love and all that good stuff,
