Caught the unseen extension cord in my auger, and it quickly wrapped around the shaft, broke two sheer pins, and raised a some other cain with my machine. Cut the cord. Lucky I didn't get lit up when I dug out the snow to inspect what had happened.
    I hit a newspaper once because the paper guy (who usually delivers to my front door.. and DID deliver one there) ALSO delivered to the side door. It got covered with snow, and I hit it. That was a MESS, although it didn't damage the snowblower and I didn't electrocute anyone.

      The fact I need to fill out my FAFSA, forgot my ID/Password, and the website is down is on The List.

        I AM grateful.

        Thursday, I find out the director of the Grand Rapids Triathlon and Michigan Titanium triathlon submits me as a case to USA Triathlon's Diversity and Inclusion coordinator, trying to find out what she can do for me. This director knows that estrogen isn't a performance enhancer, and in the age groups, it doesn't matter.

        Yesterday, while I still haven't submitted for laser hair removal (imagined ouchies), I still get my chest waxed. The woman who does it loves me like I'm a sister. It helps that the salon let me take a nap on the couch, since I had 40 minutes before my appointment.

        On the way home, I realized I have so many Mama Bears I can't count them all, and so many people who have helped me along as I adjust to hormones and life outside the closet door. I imagine the laughs as I describe the effects of the hormones as your way of welcoming me to the club, and telling me where to find the chocolate and the wine.

        I've been stressed that I might have to defer grad school because I couldn't swing a $300 deposit. The admissions counselor called yesterday and told me that was covered, as well as the fact I got a $10,000 scholarship.

        So grateful that even though I can't run, I push myself through a high agility workout (TurboFire) without using the modifiers. Yeah, I felt it, but when you're in an amazing mood...

        And even now, even though the world sleeps, that I'm up and ready to attack the day with fresh energy... with all my sisters behind me.

        All that is on the Anti-List.
        This was great; thank you.

        Here's the best I can do to celebrate. Outside looking in it seems authentic, heartfelt, and useful.

          The plow service for my townhome association is on The List. They piled up a bunch of snow across half of my driveway near the street. It's piled up higher than my car, so either I'm going to have a real issue shoveling it all off the driveway or the association's services coordinator can get the plow people out there to fix the problem they created for me. Consider me unimpressed.

So, I go to the specialized maternity store and am told they no longer carry plus size in store. Corporate made them send back all their plus sized stuff last week. So, I leave the store fighting back tears wondering what I will wear to work for the next 3 months.

              Looking up and wondering:
              - how much snow is too much snow on that roof?
              - where were those sewer vents on the roof so I can clear at least that area
              is on The List.

                  It's getting better for me on the micro level. Yes, the political climate for myself and my people is mean and nasty, but on a personal level, it's getting so much better, and I realize I have everything I need. Hope you saw the picture I posted!

                    That grad school is becoming a reality for me is on The Anti-List.

                    Sometime last year, I realized I couldn't wait any more on this, and I'll be glad to be in and done before I know it.

                      The fact that joy and gratitude is pouring out of me... I have never felt like this before. This is Anti-List. Also, this is a snapshot (I'm on the right) at 11.5 months on HRT.

                          Also on the Anti-List: Two Hispanic women at my job started giving me daily hugs. They don't know I'm trans, and I don't think they care.

                          Anti-List: I did nothing to earn any of the support and love I am receiving... it's a gift.

                          The List: The sound of my own voice. As you can see, I'm getting the look down, but I open my mouth and I want to projectile vomit.

                            My doctor's office is on The List for failing to inform me that a 2 hour glucose tolerance test is of the fasting variety.

                            I feel like I belong on The List for getting to a point where I need a 2 hour glucose tolerance test. My brain, ******* that it is, is chanting "IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!" at me right now, and it's left me feeling angry and scared.

                              Sick coworkers are on the list. I mentioned to her she sounds congested, and she replies, "yeah, I've been running a fever for the last 3 days". Get your butt home and take your germs with you. Do not come sit next to your pregnant coworker and spread your germs.

                              I wish more people would use their sick days. Most of what you do at work can wait a few days, and that which can't can be covered by other people. I would rather be overwhelmed with her job, my boss' job (she's on vacation) and my job right now than be exposed to this fever.

                                Camera repair is on the List I have to shoot a meet tomorrow and my lens is not back yet. It has been "in repair" since last week.
                                Customer service phone trees are on the List. 45 min of listening to we will be with you soon followed by booting me out and telling me to look at the website. DUH! It gives me no information- no eta, no what is happening, have they touched it yet, is it toast?? I have a service plan that gives me a replacement if it is not fixable. I need my lens. Not happy. (And my old tactic encouraged by the camera dept of purchasing a lens and returning it if the other was fixable now is a no go 15% of 800-900$ is lotta $)
