So recently, I had two "new" to us servers deliverred to the datacenter. They weren't directly for the BigCloset Cluster but by moving things around and giving me room to do some maintenance, they will improve performance at BCTS.

The problem is, that our car (My 2005 Ford Escape) died at the end of last month, and a friend gave us a 2013 Sonata that had been sitting for a while. The Sonata needed 2300 in repairs that they helped us with and we are paying back, but on my way to the datacenter today it died.

some updates

I wanted to pass on a few updates:

My brother is doing better thanks to the pacemaker, but is still having breathing issues that we don't know the cause of.

My ex is taking her near-death experience seriously, and has started to look for a cheaper place that Sam could have going forward, but she is showing signs of a deep paranoia that is quite worrisome.

As for me, I've been trying to do a deep dive into understanding my manic phase, but I still got a lot of work to do.

One day vacation

Heads Up!

Melanie and I are going to be staying in a motel tonight, and we may have to do it again in a few days or a week. I no longer feel safe trying to use our shower; we've got someone coming Friday to take a look at installing a more accessible bath.

So, I'm going to take a one-day vacation from the site. I'll have my laptop with me, but may not turn it on, who knows. Piper will be watching for problems, and we should all be fine.

Play nice.

Hugs,
Erin

An apology is in order

Well, I owe everybody an apology.

Well, actually a couple of apologies.

The first is for inflicting on you all another chapter of Luck be a Lady, starring Fluke.

The second, for anybody who likes this stuff, for how short the chapter is.

The reason is due to a pun at the end of the chapter, which I am also apologizing for ...

Here is the link, just in case I haven't scared you off:

Strange thoughts in the middle of the night

Blog About:

Okay, so something happened last night I have to talk about, even though I don't know if I have the right words.

I had gotten up to go to the bathroom, and when I returned, I laid on my stomach, and for some reason, bent my knees so my feet were in the air.

And then, out of nowhere, this image came into my head of a beautiful woman, in the same position I was, also naked, and my perspective of this was like a camera passing over her, and I thought of a director including this shot in a movie because while she was nude, you don't see anything naughty from the camera angle.

the irony is rich

Blog About: 

Author: 

When I first began my transition, I was told I could not get SRS because I was obese.

At 350 lbs, I didn't really have an argument against that.

Well, I weighed myself today, and I am now 285 lbs.

And it doesn't matter a whit, as I have several other health issues that mean I can't get SRS even if I could continue to lose weight until I am officially not obese.

I don't know if I should laugh, cry, or just appreciate the irony.

Bathroom code

Mostly, when I'm out and about, I try to avoid using the restroom. There's a Walmart neighborhood store in the area that I generally have cause to be out and about in. The restrooms there are rarely busy and only once or twice have had to interact with anyone there. If I find myself in need, it's my restroom of choice.

Arthritis

Apparently the angry demonstrations are taking place all over America, and who knows where else? I am of two minds about it all and my PTSD is really rearing its head. Not getting much sleep. Arthritis or Fibromyalgia is really being painful.

The Federal Troops are setting off very loud flash bangs

I worry that my legally adopted daughter has or will be deported back to Korea. I have lost track of her.

For those who pray, please do?

Be careful out there

Blog About:

As the world seems to spiral down into darkness, I am reminded of something Fred Rodgers said.

He said "look for the helpers"

Look for the EMTs, the nurses, the doctors, those volunteering in soup kitchens and donation depots. But also look for those doing small things like helping a neighbor clear their sidewalk or visiting a senior home. In times of cruelty, look for kindness, look for mercy.

13 years later

Hello everyone,

so I'm sitting in a Voice Chat on a Trans Discord and talk with some friends about my egg-sins. Of course the talk moves to my eggy TG fiction I wrote over a decade ago. I opened one of my stories here and realised how scarily self aware yet oblivious I used to be.

My freaking author avatar/self-insert did end up picking my chosen name... oops. I guess it still took more than 11 years for the egg to really crack, but hey better later than never.

I am blushing like crazy

talked my mom into coming with me to church, and several people there made a point of telling her how kind and giving I was, and she would top them by saying how much I do for her and my family.

I blushed like crazy the whole time . . .

New story up, and some encouraging news about Sharon

So I got a new story up, and got some encouraging news about Sharon.

She went to a doctor to get medical info for applying for unemployment, and it looks like Sam will have a part time job being a aide to a young disabled man.

So double good news (I hope!)

by the way, the story is here: https://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/fiction/106912/charm-ing-gift

Trying out a dancers belt

I've decided to give wearing a dancer's belt at try. Not a gaff, but a true dancer's belt.

dance belt

I've only had it on for a short time, but initially, I like it. It's comfortable and does what it claims. It holds thing up, out of the way instead of squishing them down between your legs where I sit on them and they get in the way of holding my knees together.

Publishing Stories Again

In this new manifestation I have a half dozen stories in the rough draft stage. The largest, "Forced 3" keeps changing like a snake with its head cut off.

I do not know what will eventually happen. Is it Dementia? Who knows.

on the outside looking in

Blog About: 

Author: 

So last night I dreamed I was back and school, and even though I was doing okay in class, I felt like there was a barrier between me and the other students, one I could see through, but could never cross. I would never truly connect with them, nor they with me.

That's pretty much how I felt in real life too - and I still struggle with feeling like that today.

twice today my right leg buckled.

This wasn't a dislocation, just a moment where it seemed like it wasn't going to support my weight.

soon as I can, I will be calling my doctor, and meanwhile, all hugs and prayers accepted.

So I looked at my account this morning, and realized I had actually missed my 16th anniversary of being a member of Big Closet.

Boy, its been a busy 16 years!

but besides the changes I have undergone since, one thing remains - this place is a big part of my life, and I continue to be grateful to Erin and her elves who keep this place running.

2 dreams for the price of one

Blog About: 

Author: 

So last night, i had 2 very different dreams.

In the first, I was back in college, and was approached to take a seat on the Student Court as one of the judges. I told the person asking me that I was concerned about my grades, since I had struggled the previous semester, but I really didn't want to become that visible, as I had apparently planned to begin dealing with my gender issues by feminizing my appearance slowly.

so my brother had another medical crisis and went back to the hospital - only to be released later.

Meanwhile, I went and saw Thunderbolts, and all I will say is I really relate to Bob. Like him, I carry darkness that is very dangerous . . .

Allergies!

I've had several medical professionals tell me this is the worst allergy season they've seen. The actually didn't have to tell me; I can feel it.

Also, for the first day or so after getting allergy shots (every two weeks) I feel very sluggish. I got my shots yesterday. Oog.

Dreams of gender euphoria

Blog About: 

Author: 

So, last night I dreamed I was shopping at West Edmonton Mall, and I found a beautiful shorts and top set.

I tried it on, looked in the dressing room mirror, and it was like the clothes had utterly transformed me.

I was . . . beautiful.

I was so happy, I rushed out, paid for the outfit, and wondered the mall, having to stop myself from going up to complete strangers and asking how I looked.

That was just about the best dream I could have had right now.

I just wish I could feel like that in real life a little more often . . .
