All about the ‘bers

Uncategorized

Hi, Ah, how my mood and spirits lift as the season shifts. The warm orange hue of the trees, cooler mornings, and a slight chill to the morning. How I have missed your September, October, etc. All the ‘bers 🥰 Better The DeWookification continues to deliver in terms of body acceptance and dispelling the Dysphoria Goblin. Likewise the careful application of some nail protector means my paws – until after Chams – remain slightly polished, rather than their usual dullness. As much as this is ‘yet another transgender blog’ 🙂 it’s true that there are others things in life – or perhaps more accurately, my life – that bring joy: not having to rush to be somewhere; a stroll through […]

Little things

Posiblogging

Hi, Today I had the pleasure of some self-care and a morning without anywhere to rush to. Yay for a nonworking day and a stroll through the park to my beauty appointment. Local stuff Well, no rush other than through the traffic, as Nottinghamshire seems to have all of its road upgrades at once 🙂 Not a complaint, given that traditionally, the East Midlands receives less funding on infrastructure and healthcare. However, the city has removed most of the old Broadmarsh shopping centre, and there’s a gorgeous urban park in there now. Work will start soon to remove the remaining concrete structure, and indeed the old multistorey that looms large over Maid Marion Way. The latter was our go to […]

Gap time

Uncategorized

Hi, The washer is spinning merrily away to itself, so there will be my family’s clothes to hang out in a bit. I guess one good thing about the summer – other than not having to worry about a coat – is things dry quickly on the line. I guess that saves money on the tumbling, but you lose a little on the time. Still, a bit of mindfulness to enjoy the cooling feel and fresh scent of newly laundered items. Maybe, there’s a dash of satisfaction in having not just faffed about, but completed a few things of the To Do list. It’s gap week before Chams and thankfully, I am not on the receiving end of any dysphoric […]

A wood and two roads

Uncategorized

Hi, Where to start this one? Shall we being with saying I’ve nothing to grumble about? I think that might be a good start 😉 Mostly on my Tod July is nearly over and we’re into the merry month of August. I am hoping the latter brings cooler days. It is also exam results soon and fingers crossed Child 2.0 gets what he needs for the uni he wants to go to. He really worked his socks off, bless him. As distraction and also to use up some holiday, the Ever Lovely Mrs J took him out for a midweek roadtrip. Lots of castles and historic places, which is exactly Child 2.0’s bag. With the temperature climbing again into the […]

Hi, Hello Friday, you welcome guest, you. Ah, the joys of a slow walk in the cool summer air, and the gift of not having to rush anywhere. Instead, I can take it steady, enjoy an iced coffee, and think about what waffle to put in here. Hmmm. Waffles. 🧇🐷 Returns and keepers Now, anyone who’s donned shapewear will know that there’s a bit of an issue around answering the call of nature. Generally this isn’t an issue for me at Chams, because the evening isn’t that long. But, with the hopes of going out & about, I find it’s a good thing to plan ahead. You know, just in case your body wants to surprise you. Hey! Yeah you. […]

Getting by

Uncategorized

Hello there… from Tattooine’s Dune Sea…. also twinned with Nottingham 😉 Eee, it’s a bit warm. Changing behaviours Given the Met Office’s Extreme Heat warning for the UK, I was not exactly looking forward to it. But, you might as well be cross at the sea! 🙃 It is what it is, and we’ll just to make the best of it. For overseas readers, the Midlands and southern England – gah, I sound like a weather presenter! 😁 – has mostly been mid 30s Celsius… and 35C is about 95F in old money. Colloquially it’s known as “Hot AF” 🫠 That level of heat is unusual for the UK…. although – thanks Climate Change and morons – that is rapidly […]
