Giving a little throwback for this #transformationtuesday post. I began my transition in a furniture store I managed in Waco, Texas…yup, you read that correctly…Waco . It’s hard to believe that was 8 years ago. I remember starting hormones near the end of 2011 and dreading the conversation I had to have with my regional manager to inform him of my transition. I was pleasantly surprised when his response was, “I’m from New York…I have been around the lgbt community my whole life. I have no problems with this at all. When do you want me to let corporate know?” As I slowly told coworkers, I kept being met with open arms and open hearts. I know it’s a rare occurrence to transition in a workplace and find so much support and for that I’m beyond grateful. I have so many great stories from that experience and may share them as a few YouTube videos. I think I have shared one or two already. #beforeandafter #memories #transition #transisbeautiful #grateful #lifecanbebeautiful #betruetoyourself #latepost #lategram https://www.instagram.com/p/CEnZjqhAlGl/?igshid=o7bhkbf3otuo

Thank you #guavatree I feel like it’s a little early for #guavas but I’m not complaining. Got 5 pieces of #guava from our tree already. It would’ve been 6 but one was already too far gone - gravity beat me to it and the yellow fruit, which would’ve been hella #sweet was already on the ground partially squished from the fall. Sadge. There are 4 more still on the tree - 2 look like they’re over ripe and will probably fall to the ground too. They’re way too high for me to get to even if I stand on a step stool especially given my shoulder issues. Mom’s been enjoying the guavas. #nomnomnom #fruit #harvest #garden #backyardgarden #fruits #masarap #foodporn #lategram https://www.instagram.com/p/CdryCyirKLf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
#Sundays belong to #TheWalkingDead and its spinoffs. The flagship #TWD series is about to end, but my love for the show continues. New #DarylDixon w/ Dog #FunkoPop to add to my collection. #sunday #weekend #lategram https://www.instagram.com/p/Cdl6bkiv0wI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
#Book 16 in #22booksin2022 #challenge Successful to Burnt Out by #KarlettaAbianac This was an interesting glimpse into the lives of people in the spectrum and a sneak peek into the #healthcare system in #Australia Can’t help but wonder how many females, especially BIPOC continue to not get diagnosed w/ autism because people still equate it to a boys/males only phenomenon. #22booksin2022challenge #reading #autism #autistic #aspergers #aspie #asd #reading #burnout #selfcare #adhd #neurodivergent #lategram https://www.instagram.com/p/CdjSQW9PMLN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Finally got around to taking pics of my new #Germany #beanie and #sunglasses New additions to my ever expanding curling fangirl closet. I’m excited for August - the start of the new season and quad. I’ve been looking for other flag sunglasses (mainly Sweden and Norway) #forpersonalreasons and not having any luck so far but I do have a similar beanie and sunglasses set for the Philippines that I hopefully get around to taking pics of and posting. #TeamD #Deutschland #weekend #lategram https://www.instagram.com/p/CdUvxNAOzCu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
I feel so bad because I keep forgetting to post this, but better #lategram than never right? Thank you to my second Maureen for the end of league present! We already played the first game of summer league and are already off to a much better start than last league. Maybe one day we’ll be good enough to have official uniforms sponsored by @fireballwhisky Something on fire Likely with a design. The bag smelled SO good!!! Woohoo #Fireballers #cinnamon #saturday #weekend . .
I requested PTO for tomorrow to have an extended long weekend over the holiday because I have some serious spring cleaning to catch up on but what I really want to do is go #swim Unfortunately my local pool is closed until next year for renovations and it’s questionable whether or not my shoulders and right hip can handle #swimming after how sore I still am from the Intermediate Tuesday hip hop dance class. . . Stoked to share that I just received my @speedousa Limited Edition Signature #Goggles I got both the @ryan_f_murphy & the @kathleenbaker2 #pink Speed Socket 2.0 Mirrored Goggles. I wish I could’ve gotten all 4 but I had to control myself. I at least had to be all #GOBEARS about it. Plus the Dressel goggles sold out in minutes so it wasn’t available by the time I Iogged on to Speedo’s website. I of course had to get another #Vanquisher because I actually need new goggles and we all know the signature goggles are gonna be tucked away as collector items, never to be used. This is my 3rd Vanquisher & I’m excited to use them! . . As a fangirl, my sense of brand loyalty is quite strong so of course I’m repping #TeamSpeedo I hope I find another pool to swim at this summer I miss it and thoroughly loved being able to swim the last time LPP was open earlier this month. #thursday #lategram #swimfan #RyanMurphy #KathleenBaker #backstroke #olympian #athlete https://www.instagram.com/p/CeC1Z_QFn5a/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
