Feeling... good for now. Had a modest meal of 2 pancakes with banana & bacon & maple syrup.
I'll prolly get hungry later but I still have a couple sausage rolls to eat.
I wasn't in the mood to cook a full regular meal.

Feeling... good. Had my hair cut yesterday, not much as I want to grow it even more.
The hairdresser used hair-styling powder, I was curious about it. It worked a treat but now I do have to wash my hair again to get it out.

Thinking... that was the first really colder evening yesterday. I couldn't get warm.
Evening & night temps will drop further this week, brrr. I'm not ready for that yet.

There shouldn't be much difference if they had gender affirming surgeries.
Biggest difference would be how you think & feel about it all. Can you get over the fact they were born as a male and lived as such for a long time?
Men who had sex with a trans woman say they didn't notice a difference.
But I suspect many men have an ego problem with it.

Personally, me being a woman, I find it a bit weird in the sense of, what the hell do they know about being a woman? They never had a cycle, don't know what it is to have a period, grow breasts naturally as a teen, to be pregnant and feel your baby movie inside your womb. That beautiful sensation when you breastfeed and the milk moves, what it's like to become menopausal, and so on and so forth.
They've been made a woman by surgeons' hands but on various levels they have never experienced what it's like to actually be a woman.

Thank you so much!

And my reply has gone????????????
Tried to help the kid. Wonderful

Me too!
Okay, I'm also looking for this great guy who makes me sparkle even more, but not necessarily looking for him here. Not practical if someone would live in the US.
Me is too much of a touchy-feely person for a long distance relationship!

I finished the other one, started my 12th cowboy & horse painting two days ago :)

This time something else will be the main focal point, but there is going to be a cowboy on a horse for sure!

Your upbringing doesn't make you an introvert.
Introversion is what you are or aren't, has to do with the way your brain is wired etc.
Your environment doesn't make you an introvert.

What you can get by having a closed-off upbringing...
It can lead to social awkwardness or a lack of practice navigating large groups, which people often mislabel as introversion.

Research has also shown that hardly anyone is a true introvert or extrovert. Most people are ambiverts.

Thinking... this is proving to be the weirdest Mercury Retrograde ever!
Thank the Goddess none of the things that came up were real issues but they had to be dealt with nonetheless. As in double checking things by phoning organisations/companies, and finding out I was right.
Hopefully that was it for now. 4x is enough.
12 days to go and then Mercury will go direct again.

But you're typing? That means you're a keyboard

Sometimes you got to treat yourself :)
I did the same just now by enjoying a maple & pecan roll. I'm having a bit of a day, something yummie & sweet helps

Thank you, I like to be a lucky girl, hihi.
But in this case it's more a matter of installing an adblocker. Something I've done yonks ago. Helps a tremendous lot!

Yeah, they're busy with all kinds of silly chit to stop natural progress. Whoever "they" are. The ones who truly are in power in the world.
That kind of future is not for me.
I stick to natural.

If you spend 10 mins a day, preferably a few times during the day, in gratitude you already lengthen your telomeres. That means you are lengthening your life, adding years to your life. And health.
They done that research with a group and after 10 days their telomeres had gotten significantly longer, meaning they'd added -if memory serves- a year to their life.
It is that easy.
We don't need any artificial anything. Our bodies are so smart, so adaptable. Most people just lack the knowledge and we are inclined to be indifferent & lazy when it comes to our own health.

Going back to knowing what you need... for me a physical body :)

Hmphfff... you're not making it any easier for me!
Thank goodness Google is your best friend. On both counts :D

Good question... I had sauerkraut mash yesterday & day before.
Today is probably a pot of green beans and beef minced.

I still have no idea what you're talking about but if you're happy, great!

Alone - reality show - 2015
IMDb rating 8,4
My rating 10 (for season 1)

10 people are dropped at Vancouver Island for a last man standing survival stint.
It takes as long as it takes for 1 to win.
They can choose 10 items to take with them. Apart from that they do get bear spray, flares, a life-vest.
Location is different per season.

What they had to endure was insane to be honest. Thousands of bears and hundreds of cougars on Vancouver Island.
And they didn't choose a great season as they had more days with heavy rain than without, bad storms, frost and whatnot.

What surprised me that making fire turned out the biggest problem for all 10 at first?
They're all trained survival experts, but then how can they fail in making fire? In the end they all get it sorted.
Then food becomes a real big issue. Certainly after a few weeks without carbs & sugars. Which I didn't understand either as even in wintertime you can find these on Vancouver Island. Certain roots and berries can still be found and provide these much needed nutrients. Yet none knew??

It was certainly interesting.
It reminded me of my time in Australia even though I didn't have to live of the land there. But many of the things these people went through I did go through as well, and I was only 20. It changed me for life.

As such I could understand that this would also change the participants.
I checked if the winner and his wife were still together. And nope, as I suspected they split after he'd won and come back.
Not a surprise as he wouldn't be the same man anymore that left, nor would he ever be again.
One guy bailed out as the experience had brought him all he wanted out of it. And he was the one who dealt the best with it all. He built a canoe, a string instrument (!!!) and a beautiful yurt for a shelter. And he truly knew how to live with and of the land.

Seriously amazing to watch a season of this show. I doubt I will watch all seasons, there are loads of it.
But watching 1 or 2... nice!

Thinking... time to get dinner going! It's only 16.15 but my body isn't used yet to wintertime. It thinks and feels in summer time, which would be 17.15.
So... time to eat. I'll get used to it. Eventually.
