    This is the second time I've woken up from a dream punching my wall! This time it was about my brother...

    Low key came out as trans to someone at work last night. It's someone I've been working with for almost two years, and she was telling me a few weeks ago about her daughter that told her she was gay, and how she was accepting of her and glad that she felt comfortable coming out to her. Well, last night she was telling me about her son who just told her he was trans, and it's the same person. Telling me how she was trying to get used to calling them by their male name and pronouns, and I said, totally unplanned, "Honestly? I can relate."

    She was not surprised at all. Even asked me what name I preferred or wanted to go by. I wonder how many other people suspect but don't say anything. I'm not really secretive about it. It's just that nobody ever asks.

    A guy I went to high school with died yesterday. He went to bed the other night and didn't wake up. His family is still waiting on the autopsy results. I understand that life isn't fair, but does it really have to be this unfair?

    Sometimes the low key coming outs are the best ones. :slight_smile:

    I've got four weeks left and a pile of work to sift through. At least the end is near.

    I just applied for the CPS job I've had my eye on for the last few years. I can't wait to get started.

    I'm so excited: after 2.5 years and a lot of both success and frustration I'm leaving my job and will be starting a new amazing job in April. I've negotiated enough time between the end of my current job and the start of my next one to road trip out to California with my dog to see my family, and stop and hike along the way. This is a bucket list item for me and I'm so glad it's going to work out!!!!

    I love it when it’s overcast like a perfect sheet of white clouds and there’s no wind it’s like everything is perfectly still.

    Got a gift registry from my brother and his fiancee, and maybe it's just me, but I find a lot of the stuff they have on it is just "extra" things, not necessities. Maybe it's just me, but...

    The snow is melting! The LP tank heating my garage reads 5 percent. Maybe I won't have to fill it again until fall?

    Went to work last night, and within half an hour I got sent home. :sweat_smile: Such is life when you work in manufacturing, and there's simply nothing for you to do. Hopefully they send me home tonight, too. I'm not even working in "my" department at the moment, because it's shut down for two weeks. I'm just the oddball that they've moved around doing random shit for the last three days.

    It might be intentional. I know some people have a hard time asking for things they "need". They rather get people to get them things they are excited about instead of boring things that they would get themselves either way.

    Talk to them tho if you have an idea for a gift. I don't enjoy registries too much, so I got my sister to let me pay for her photographer instead of getting an item from the registry. She was more than okay with it haha
