What made you happy and unhappy today?

[Deleted]

Brings to mind when I was in 8th grade and some of the guys already had to shave and all I had was peach fuzz which lasted until I was nineteen and went in the Army where they made shaving every day mandatory. It wasn't long that the daily shaving routine had stimulated those hair follicles until they became coarse whiskers. As for me I wish it hadn't happened, but shaving daily will certainly bring it on.

that new house of mine.
annoyingly difficult to get down a door, just because some old guy used nails instead of screws.
and an annoying wall to cut open, planks everywhere, full of nails too so using a chainsaw wouldn't be good. too much unnecessary shit. but at least there was no insulation inside the wall, so less mess to deal with.
and i'll need to call a plumber on monday. a tap is laking, so i can't turn on the water yet. i'll call that lawyer too, might be the previous owner who has to pay for this one. i really hope it is, but i think i can afford to fix it anyway. just barely, again.

I'm wishing you the best with that! Sometimes the previous owner fails to disclose things that should have been and rightfully they should be stuck with the repair costs. I bought this little house 38 years ago, it had been a rental and was unloved and such a mess that we had to rent the film "The Money Pit" just to humor ourselves. Over the years we have made it just perfect for us and the endeavor has given us more of an emotional connection to the extent that we can say that we love our house and wouldn't sell it for any price.

i wouldn't blame the previous owner for this. he's told about every little thing he knows that isn't perfect. he hasn't been living in the house the last few months though, got too old and sick, and if anyone knew about the tap, it would be one of his nephews.
we'll discuss who pays the bill later, plumber comes tomorrow. i'll might ask him to take a quick look at all the plumbing, just to be sure, it looks like something is leaking under the sink too.

hoping to move in by the equinox, will give me a good excuse for making a bonfire.

Will you be dancing around it in your birthday suit and entertaining your neighbors?

fixed my leftovers for supper, but before I could eat anything, I started coughing, then threw up part of lunch. But a quick mouth rinse and I'm eating. Good thing as I like dirty rice and would hate to not eat it after I went to all the trouble of heating it up. Plus its spicy enough to kill the vomit taste left over in the back of my throat from barfing!!

Yes, then I can save that last half of the Hershey's bar I have on my nightstand for another day!

Just always being thoughtful and considerate of my sweetie, you know that!

I was happy to go shopping today, until I realized that the argument I walked away from the other day, still isn't over in their mind.
Because I wouldn't talk about it again, they got all pissy and so there wasn't any talking.
Which actually was kinda nice. I don't mind just looking at the world going by.

I really like being me.
But, gorrammit, I wish I could shapeshift.

I bought a shirt recently and they sent me the wrong one.
I really like the shirt they sent me though.

The Bruce Jenner interview. Very well done indeed. It feels like an important moment. But my wife, who has known that I am trans for 20 years, sees many parallels between Jenner's journey and my own. She fears, she ruminates.  She didn't sleep well last night. She understands that I am non binary but fears that this may yet prove to be a transitional state. She fears that I am in denial and seek to deny myself and to protect her. With media coverage focused only on binary identity and binary transition, she sleeps less and will wrestle with demons that I can't see or help destroy.

The only way you can counter that assault on her mind is through hours of intense conversations where you begin by asking her if she considers you to be a liar and a cheat. Once she has affirmed that she believes that you are not then you have to ask her if she trusts you and has trusted you so far throughout your marriage. If she answers this in the affirmative then you have established a firm foundation for a lengthy discussion about what Non-Binary is as opposed to MtF transgenderism so that you can alleviate much of the scary imagery that is going through her mind.

Oh shit.

Mine hasn't seen it.

If you knew how many times I remind her that ...I am both... to keep that fear out...

Crap this is why we need an independent nb so board.
With sane and seasoned spouses.

If it helps I'd talk to her on your behalf. Email or whatever.
