Doing taxes. Gyah. Just argh. Frustration. Confusion. HEadache. And I'm using the Turbotax site that does most of the work for me but this is still irritation. Nikki's on his own tonight, I'm too cranky to be alive.

Good evening, again haha I just wanted to bring up a fabulous show I've found on youtube called 'Her Story' about a transgender woman and a lesbian ciswoman, the fights, struggles and transphobia that dear Violet endures; like most transwomen do. Please take a moment to watch but please be aware of trigger warnings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkHicPm7C6Q Alex

LOL I'm so whimpy to cold it in those conditions it might be naked dancing under my pajamas in a sleeping bag with no less than four fires in the tent! You are brave! I did the polar bear swim once by accident when Karma bit me in the but. In 08 Nikki and I joined my mom and Daniel on an Alaskan cruise. I was not overly excited about Alaska as I'm a total beach addict, but really pleasantly surprised and enjoyed the state a lot. However, the cruise was a little stressful as the currents had changed, the boat was rocking wildly and walking was a challenge, and my son and I were SO sick the first day, while mom and Nikki were fine. It was so bad 75% of the passengers and 50% of the crew was ill and they were handing out seasick pills like candy. Nikki went out to forage at the store and came back proudly with a handful of individual packets, they had a big take what you like bowl set up on the front desk, no charge. Really nice of them! Which is REALLY weird because mom and Nikki are the ones most likely to get seasick. However, amusement park rides tend not to bother Nikki, while they make offspring and I queasy, so it was probably the extreme motion rather than the usual gentle rocking that gets to mom and Nikki. But thanks to the pills he found offspring and I had rallied enough to get to dinner and eat something. The whole day we had only had a turkey sandwich we split between us while lying sadly in the bed glaring at Nikki who found it hilarious and was taking photos of us. So I get better, and I want to do EVERYTHING! On the third day we went to Glacier Bay, and it was awe inspiring. The glaciers are amazing, and watching the small calved bergs drift serenely by the boat was beautiful. We were the first ship in, so it was all undisturbed and there were small bergs all around like confetti on the water. They had a polar bear club swim on the outside pool. This was in July, so mostly it was really warm on the cruise, but Glacier Bay was COLD. I was standing on the deck above the swimmers with Nikki, and I laughed a little at them freezing in the water. And I said "I will never do that! Too wimpy, they're braver than me!" and went back in with Ashe. And we proceeded to the indoor pool that is in a dome and heated area, and completely didn't notice that they had the dome wide open because they were setting up a lunch time poolside barbecue. That pool water was so cold I can't even describe. I think I sorta ran to the hot tub to recover, and then got stuck there because the air was cold. LOL I deserved it. Laugh not at others, even in a non-mocking way. Nikki mentioned there are special dedicated cruises to LGBTIA, so that may be a possibility for a girl mode vacation in the future. I think that would be fun for both of us, our favorite thing, a really relaxed atmosphere, and hopefully the weird intergroup conflicts left at teh dock, as cruises make everyone just sorta like each other for a week. SEriously, what is with the splintering of the various groups under the umbrellas rather than uniting??? IT's not financially feasable for a couple years, but I'll have to start looking into this I think.
