It has been a long five days since Election Day, but it was well worth the wait for those of us ridin’ with Biden.   Our painfully longer (four years’-long) national/international/global nightmare will be OVER on January 20, 2021 at noon. HALLELUJAH! (Providing they can keep the self-absorbed “jilted lover” from doing something to end…

The last few days have been real nail biters. And today is yet another one…   It astounds me that this year’s election for POTUS is so close.   Biden is sooooo much better a human being.   He actually cares about us and the world.   I can understand (maybe) supporting Trump the first…

My MOM ALWAYS WANTED A BOY   Alas, she didn’t live long enough to find out she had one… and that makes me sad… Since neither she nor I had any insights into the term “transgender” during her final year of life (in 1998), she passed away under the impression that I was a lesbian…

Two days ago, I started an additional exercise routine.   Every two to three hours, I turn on jogging music and “jog/dance/boogie” in my den for ten minutes.   It’s a lot of fun. Ten minutes is only about three songs’ worth of exercise, so it goes by fast when I listen to music. (If…

I just tried jogging for the first time since my chest was masculinized.   OMG! What a difference it makes.   It’s a lot less hard and I was able to sustain my first workout jog for ten minutes.   I started with five minutes on the timer but felt so good when the buzzer…

“Anticipation…is making me wait…keeping me waiting…”   Those of us who have already voted– 50 million plus U.S. citizens–are on pins and needles, waiting for November 3rd to arrive and the final tally of total votes to be released. Which may not happen on November 3rd, but weeks or even months later, if the vote…
