Lori, I'm pretty fast ducking falling building debris. Not sure about the hard hat look but I still have one from my old union days.

I still have mine! IBEW stickers and all.

So you are pumping the water out and refilling the ocean? That is sweet of you. We appreciate that.

Nah, Lori, I was Teamsters and UFT.  My hard hat was for show on work sites.

I truly wish I could pipeline the water to you.  It feels like such a waste.

I have a hard hat (construction type) but I prefer to wear the softer ones, sometimes with a pretty scarf.

Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

Spent the day re setting the drain pipe from the sump pump to increase the angle.  Moved a lot of sand and ordered 16 bags of river rock to cover. It needed to get done after 12 years.  It's interesting how breasts changes the sweat patterns on a
t-shirt.

Timed quitting perfectly for the England/Norway match.  Rooting for my friends in England...

I have heard of people putting the rock under pipe that is buried (with dirt over it) but not with rocks placed over the pipe.

Enjoy watching your football / soccer match!

Sarah, England won, so that spiced up the game.  The teams had to play in some tough conditions with heat and humidity.  The extra time was brutal.  It has been more fun watching the antics of fans from the different countries than the actual games themselves.  It was great watching people just have fun for a change.

Chrissy, we don't need rocks under the pipes.  They are sitting on a sand base, but we need to put a filtration sock on the length to keep the pipe from clogging up.  The rocks on the sides and top allow water to perk as necessary, plus they look great.

Sorry, really having a bad GD day.  I really hate being stuck in the middle but I know it is the only choice I have....but it really sucks.  I can't think of a better phrase, it just really does.

Ok, I'll stop saying really.  Ugh...

Gender dysphoria can be so, so frustrating.  Many of us are in situations where we just cannot be ourselves as we need to be all the time. 


Warm hugs to you, and all of us in this situation.

Aw Emma, I feel your pain.

I'm stuck 24/7 on the wrong side of the line at the moment. 4 weeks so far but I feel like a prisoner in my own skin. I can't yet see the end of it for me either. At least your in the middle, I'm on the wrong side and have to dig out my old selfies for validation. It could be worse!

I know that won't make you feel better but know that I'm thinking about you at least. Maybe use this time to plan your next "Emma in ......X" day out or trip, I love reading about those. I hope you wake up fresh as a daisy and the GD lifts a bit.

Thank you all for the team support!❤️ It always means something when I post about my GD that I know I am not alone and that the people here know the pain as well.  I wish none of us knew that pain at all! It's like our very own emotional "period".

Like all of us, I just push through it.  Thankfully, I have a family graduation today with family I actually like.  We share the same politics.  It always helps to be among friends.

Hugs back to everyone!

Saw that some treasure hunters founded a big silver ingot.

Must be fun finding artifacts and precious metals.

Chrissy, ever since I started reading National Geographic in the school library as a kid I wanted to search for treasure.  I am extremely lucky to have done it both, excavating Roman ruins and diving on sunken treasure wrecks.

It is hard to describe the excitement when anyone on the team makes a discovery.  If one finds something we all share in the experience.
