Dr. Sage & Co's Catarrh Remedy, Buffalo, NY (Photo credit: KChristensen)
Despite the up-beat tone of my posts I have been suffering a little with my health and the relationship I have with E lately hasn’t helped. Over the last week or so I have had this nagging problem with catarrh or perhaps phlegm in my throat, associated as they both are with the common cold. I have had cold symptoms too which would explain a lot. I seldom take medicines for headaches, pains and even the cold unless it becomes unbearable not to do so, they only mask the problem and are not a cure. People will say that by taking the medicines will help the body to overcome whatever the ailment is but they don’t, our body’s defence system does it all be itself, it just requires the fuel. So here I am now at the end of another week, one in which I have been suffering a little but it hasn’t stopped me from working or going to the pub. The main problem with catarrh is the constant coughing in the attempt to release it. I did resort to using a specialised solution to gargle with in the end which did help although not completely. I try not to let life’s little problems get me down though and just get on with it. I’m afraid though that the relationship I have with E isn’t going to improve in the foreseeable future so I resign myself to remaining without her company until she sees sense. That may be difficult because of her stubbornness to admit she is ever wrong. I plod on regardless. Whilst I am occupied everything is nice, it’s when I am not that it gets a little lonesome but even at her best she isn’t one for sitting together and just chatting. I know it is April 1st but it isn’t a joke anymore.

On Monday evening I got called out to a little emergency job in town, an elderly (90) woman had lost electrical supply to a few circuits in her apartment and was desperate to have it fixed. I knew before I went what the problem was and was proved right when I got there. A table lamp bulb had blown which caused one of the two RCD units to trip, switching off power to half of the apartment. The distribution board would have been out of her reach even if she knew how to reset it. I ran this by her before deciding I had to go and do it myself. I got back home and just wanted to relax. I had eaten my evening meal prior to that call and just wanted a quiet evening. I have been suffering with pains in my back (feels like lumbago) for a couple of days so I was not in the mood for much activity, although I have been doing some electrical work. The house phone rang and then stopped. I checked 1471 to see who it was but they’d concealed their number. It rang again after a few minutes and someone asked for me by name. Thinking it was a request to do some work I answered that it was me they were asking for. My name is listed on my advertisement and cards so people often ask to speak with Shirley Anne and it is nothing unusual. It was a mans voice and he gave his name. It didn’t ring any bells so he asked if I remembered him. Then it dawned on me that this guy was somebody I had met some ten years ago and at that time he took a great interest in me, I think you know what I mean. However I rejected his advances but accepted him as a friend. He reluctantly accepted that I wasn’t interested in anything more than friendship. We met occasionally in the clubs in Manchester and once or twice he came to visit me. I must point out here that there is a 32 year gap between us and I felt a little uncomfortable with that at the time we were together. When he began to shower me with gifts I knew he couldn’t be satisfied with just friendship and I felt he wanted to go further. I broke off the relationship and he was hurt by that but I figured all would be ok and he would get over me. Well he had to. Now another thing I ought to mention (up till now I didn’t want to say) is that when we met this guy was in the early stages of FtM transition. This had no bearing on our friendship or my decision to break it off, it was simply that I didn’t want a sexual relationship with anyone at that time. So here he is calling me ten years down the line and making tentative steps in rekindling our friendship. I was a bit taken aback but I still do not wish to meet up again even though it could be harmless. He was keen to tell me about his operations and how much he had changed but it was all falling on deaf ears. I am simply not interested. I told him this several times but I am wondering if he will get the message. Why would anyone keep my telephone number for ten years knowing that I had broken off our friendship if he didn’t still have an interest? I feel that if I allow him back into my life I shall never be able to get rid of him. Hopefully he will respect my wishes and accept the fact that he is barking up the wrong tree.

Sometimes I feel closer to you. Yes you dear reader! I get quite lonely sometimes. My family is spread afar, my sisters live in another country, my brothers live reasonably close but I only see one of them and that only occasionally. The other brother might as well be on another planet as he has pretty much alienated himself from the rest of us. Both my parents died years ago. My sons, well one lives with his wife, naturally, the other has taken it upon himself to leave recently to live in his mate’s house. My ex and I are not on speaking terms right now and the only friends I have either live outside of this country or too far to be regular visitors. I am not looking for sympathy here by the way, no but I just point to the fact that those I’ve ‘met’ through blogging give me more of their time than those supposedly closer to me! One way of looking at it, a philosophical approach would be to say things will improve or I’ll die first! I am not taking bets on this one….LOL I remain as ever cheerful and never do I get depressed. I am a strong person in that respect but I also have a ‘live-in helper’. I think you know what I mean by that but if you don’t then look at my ‘religious’ posts. I have a lot of time on my hands these days, not much work to do in a professional capacity and the domestic situation is on hold untill I feel inclined to move on it. I could be tempted to fall into bad habits but I fight against it all of the time, my trips to the pub have taken a back seat but that is more to do with my lack of interest than anything else. Another aspect of my personality that you may not be aware of is that I have always been what people call ‘a loner’. I’ve never enjoyed being one of the crowd, going with the flow, doing what others do sort of person but I do nevertheless enjoy conversation and mixing socially. I suppose in these situations I feel more in control, having the choice of walking away rather than feeling obliged. It may have resulted me in not having a lot of ‘mates’ but then I was never ’one of the boys’ now was I?

I was watching a program on television about someone walking forgotten paths around the countryside. This particular walk was in the Highlands of Scotland on a no longer existing railway route through the hills and valleys around the Lochs in the area. The walk was being done by a woman and for part of the way she was being accompanied by a local older man. He was dressed in a kilt and was explaining his interest in the area, his family connections and where his ancestors had been buried. He mentioned that he intended to be buried in the same place and pointed to his chosen spot. The woman remarked that it was a nice place to be buried with all that wonderful scenery about. Now this is where it gets a bit silly. What difference does it make to a dead person where they are buried? They will not be able to enjoy the place. They will not be able to see it, smell it or touch it, they will be dead! They will know nothing, they will be no more. I cannot understand why people think this way, especially as most people are quite intelligent. It is illogical to think that wherever you are buried when dead makes any difference at all. A similar thing happens when people insist on visiting the remains of deceased loved ones to ‘chat’ with them! They mutter words into thin air over a grave or place where ashes are buried and leave wreaths or some flowers as a token gesture. Some go to great lengths to tidy up the grave as if it makes any difference to the bones lying beneath the sods! Some will say that it makes them feel better when they do these things and they are acting out of respect for the deceased. The shame is that the deceased doesn’t even know what is going on and anything they do has no affect on them. What part of ‘deceased’ don’t people understand? In reality it is far better to love the person whilst they are alive, pay them respect whilst they live because when they are dead it is too late! If you love someone, show them. Don’t wait until they are dead before letting them know for they will not be able to hear you.

Yeah sure! It’s mostly the same old things just now, work, work and yes, you guessed it, more work! All around the house though. Sunday morning saw me rise fairly early and set about working on the new (?) garage roofline. A little history here. It was around 1998-9 that I began work on building this garage. Formerly it was a horses stable, not used as such for many years and very much neglected by the previous owner of the house and subsequently by ourselves. We didn’t intend on neglecting it but we had many other things to do at the time. One day whilst clearing it out I found that the rear wall was in such a bad state it was in danger of collapsing. The inside of the wall had been lined with heavy-duty plywood and it seems this was the only thing keeping it standing! The wall needed rebuilding but we decided at the time to take the opportunity to extend the stable back into the garden and convert it into a garage instead. This meant digging out a lot of ground and laying foundations to support new concrete to extend the existing good concrete floor. I actually did all this work myself but of course employed someone else to lay the concrete which was supplied ready-mixed. I had built foundations for the rear wall and filled in the area with hardcore, sand and a heavy-duty pvc liner to prevent moisture rising through the floor. After I had done this I set about building the rear and side walls and then erect joists and a roof. I had completely stripped the old roof away as it was leaking and needed replacing anyway. I employed someone to lay a covering over the plywood I had used to construct the new roof. By this time it was 2000-2001 and I was going through a bad patch at home. Actually I had been having matrimonial problems for some years prior and things were getting me down. I was beginning to lay the foundations for my transition and work on the garage stopped because I was under pressure with nobody to assist me in finishing the project. You can read more about this time of my life in the pages above. Needless to say after my transition I took no interest in much that was going on at home because nobody was taking any interest in me. I refused to be used any longer so I left things alone. It was a couple of years after my divorce when at last I made the move and tried to get my ex. to accompany me for lunch. We had been trying to sell the house for some years without success but things began to improve between us and we decided to stay together, that is live together but not in a close relationship, well not as it was before. Since that ‘first’ lunch our relationship has improved enormously and now couldn’t be better. I had no intentions of spending much on the house because it would have only been myself funding any works. E had no funds to speak of and could not afford to pay for renovations. I had a change of heart (something to do with love and my faith in God) and decided to splash out to the tune of (thus far) about £35.000 and get things done, doing what work I was physically able to do if I could. Prioritising meant that the poor old garage took another back seat in the renovation stakes! Over the last few weeks much has been done to the garage and yesterday I managed to do quite a lot especially on the fascia boards, fitting them where they hadn’t been fitted and painting them with a priming coat ready for the top coat perhaps this week. Windows have been fitted (just a little work on trims to do) and the next major job is to install the roller-shutter door once I can prepare the way and clean up the fittings that have become corroded waiting for them to be installed! The roller-shutter door has been stored in the garage for over ten years! It is well protected though and should be no problem once installed. There is no guarantee of course, that expired years ago! LOL.
Today, hopefully, the paving in the rear garden will be completed, that is if E’s nephew turns up. He has let us down before but I’ll have to wait and see if this time he will fulfill his promise.

Matthew 24:36-41
The Day and Hour Unknown
36 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.
The message is plain enough for those who have an ear, who are filled with The Spirit but what is it actually saying and to whom? The message is about the End Times, those things which will surely come to pass as foretold in Scripture. As the title suggests, no-one knows the day or the hour when these things will happen. It could be tomorrow, next week, next year. Only one person knows and that is God Himself. Here, Jesus is being referred to as The Son of Man and it is He who will return as promised. People will be just going about their daily lives, doing what they always do, just as they did before the Great Flood. They were taken by surprise! So again will mankind be taken by surprise when Jesus returns. Some will be taken and some will be left. Only those who have Jesus will survive. There is no other way to God despite what people will tell you. You cannot get to Him through your ‘spirituality’, your ‘religion’, your ‘good works’ because Jesus Himself said it…’No-one comes to the Father but by Me’. He is the ONLY way. You may think you are on the right path but do not be fooled by false teachings about morality, spirituality, religiosity, theosophy, philosophy, Eastern Mystiscism, meditation or anything of that nature because they all rely upon man’s capability to save himself. Man cannot save himself from the wrath of God, only Jesus can do that for He alone has borne our sins and made us clean in the eyes of God. There is one condition and that is to believe in God and the one He sent, Jesus, repent and be baptised. How can such an offer be rejected? Well it comes as no surprise that the offer does get rejected because people would rather believe in something else. Some people believe in perpetual re-incarnation. Where they get that idea is anyone’s guess! Indeed even the Bible indicates a re-incarnation but that re-incarnation is of a completely different kind and it only happens once!
To whom is He speaking? God is speaking to YOU…..! Stop worshipping idols and men, angels and ideas and come to the living God through Jesus Christ. Yes, God is speaking to YOU!

Not that I’ve been anywhere distant lately but I am at home more often now. On Sunday morning I set about filling the new vegetable growing area with soil. It took about three hours of filling the wheelbarrow and a lot of little journeys between the soil mound and the growing area. I had to construct a temporary ramp too as the walls of the raised bed growing area stand about two feet off the ground. I didn’t do much work after that. Over the weekend, the floodlight over the front door became faulty, that is the detector. It is a split system with the detector separate from the light itself. It had been installed twenty years ago by yours truly and the detector system was low voltage. I had manufactured the control circuit myself but it finally gave up the ghost! Modern units run directly from the main supply so I had to convert that part of the wiring to accommodate a new one. This I did on Monday morning after a trip to the supplier. The guy across the road took a great interest in the woman in a skirt climbing up and down the ladder doing electrical work! It always seems to happen that when I am at home working I get calls to do work for other people. Monday was no exception. Today, Tuesday, I am out doing those jobs!
There is a bit of tension at home just now as E and I are not talking. She can be very abrasive at times and sometimes speaks to me in a hurtful way. It isn’t so much what she says, it’s the way she says it. I love her and she knows that but there is something in her which makes her act aggressively. I might ask a simple question and she snaps my head off for no reason at all. So rather than cause a row and argue with her, it would only make her worse anyhow, I keep out of her way. I never get an apology, I never expect one but it would be nice to get one nevertheless. Usually it is me who has to break the ice. What an iceberg though! LOL . I suppose a 99% good relationship is better than none.
I sit alone within my room
The day is long, the day is gloom
I fear to speak less I’m put down
And all is quiet, not a sound.
Do I deserve such punishment
When all I need’s a little love?
Is there no cure, is there no hope
For someone with a heart of stone?
Sometimes I wonder why I stay
Believing it will change one day,
And all I do is sit and cry
As time relentlessly goes by.

Today I take my little van in for a routine service, a 12,000 mile service. The handbook tells me that the interval is every 12,000 miles! I did have it serviced after 6,000 miles and presumably the next service would be at 18,000 miles but there is no harm in having a shorter service interval. Yesterday I had one small job to do and was back home after an hour or so, meanwhile my youngest son was having a lie in bed. His vehicle couldn’t be started using the starter motor on Saturday but a breakdown crew got him mobile so he could come home and visit with us. He arranged to have his car repaired yesterday and a local garage did the work. He had been quoted £240 to have a replacement starter motor fitted by one company and £210 by another but I told him to ask at our local garage. They repaired the problem for £80. It pays to shop around doesn’t it? I gave my son the £80 to have the job done because I know he is having problems trying to save and pay off his university fees as well. It is a tremendous burden for young people going to university when they are landed with a huge financial debt afterward so I help both my sons whenever I am able. It is important to ‘service’ relationships too! To that end I might treat E to another nice lunch later.

It was eight years ago on the 14th Oct. that I realised my dream of becoming a woman. Sounds a bit silly does that remark but what I mean is that my body became in-line with my already feminine brain! Leading up to that moment of triumph my marriage had been in tatters. You can read more in my pages above. For many years I was living in a sexless relationship and was merely being treated as somebody who was bringing in the wage. Don’t misunderstand me here, I know my ex. loves me but her problem was always one of not being able to show it, not just in a sexual way either. It was six years ago we divorced and a matter of only two years since we decided to continue living together in the same house. The house had been on the market for a few years and it wasn’t selling. One of the reasons for that of course was the recession. In a way it has proven fortunate for us both. She is relying on me more and more because of her physical condition and I think she would have found living alone difficult at times and getting worse as time went on. I love her dearly and I am happy to do things for her. To be honest it would have broken my heart to be completely separated from her. I am crying even now just writing those words! I couldn’t be more happy at this time. I think things work out as they are planned to do. I believe that the Father has intervened in my life. In many ways our life together hasn’t changed one bit, in fact most of what we had and what we did together remains just the same. Sex of course isn’t on the menu but it hasn’t been on the menu for years. She got her way in that respect as in many other ways too. Getting back to sex, well I don’t miss it, I don’t need it, I have better things going for me. Part of the transitioning process and following regime is the need to dilate one’s vagina. I followed the set pattern over the years but now I am not so strict with that regime, in fact I only do that once a week these days. I cannot see the point if intercourse is not going to happen. I am not interested anymore.

I simply love this song and the message it contains……..
In Christ Alone

He is my light my strength my song
____G____D________G____A
This Cornerstone, this solid Ground

Here in the love of Christ I stand
In Christ alone! – who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe!
This Gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied -
For every sin on Him was laid:
Here in the death of Christ I live
There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again!
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine -
Bought with the precious blood of Christ
No guilt in life no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till he returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand!

A dedication
What is my life if not filled with your love?
I would but be an empty shell
Devoid of life itself.
You make my life worth living
For nothing else compares
It is all vanity.
Without you in my heart
The very essence of my being
Would not exist,
For you my Father are all that I am
All that I need
All that I want.
What shall I compare you to?
There is nothing
My words are not enough,
You are beyond all understanding
Too marvelous for words,
It is enough to simply know you in my heart
For in that knowledge I have purpose
A reason to live
You are my Father and I love you

When I started this blog over fifteen months ago I was confronted by a journalistic and an editorial challenge, things of which I had little experience. The main idea for starting the blog was to put my ideas and experiences of life to the world and of course to reach out to others who might take an interest in me and what I was all about. It wasn’t my idea to create an all singing, all dancing, fully interactive site filled with a lot of unnecessary movies, pictures and sounds. All I wanted was a site that had something of interest for everyone who visited. I didn’t want a site that was dedicated to just one theme either. That would be boring and would limit my readership. It had to be a site that was not too packed with trivia and one that was presented in a simple straight-forward way with no flashing lights, musical introductions or anything else that distracted from content. Sites like that, to me at least, usually have little to say and need the ‘padding’ in the hope that it will entertain. I read blogs because I am interested in people, not because they have fancy ‘over-the-top’ presentations. I hope that those reading my blog will have the same approach. This site is presented in a simple way and hopefully doesn’t need ‘decorating’. It is a journal of my life and interests, my views and beliefs and if that isn’t enough, well my readers can always go elsewhere. I hope though that they don’t!

I don’t know about you but I get impatient quite often. If I have a plan I need to see it executed as soon as possible. This is the feeling I have right now with the jobs I am having done in and around the house, I want things to happen. Knowing however that things will happen when those doing the work are ready means that I will just have to bide my time. When at work I want the job doing as soon as possible but I know that I can only work so fast. It is one thing being impatient with one’s self but quite another to be impatient with others. We are all different and we live at our own pace and do things at our own pace. Sometimes and not often enough, I chastise myself when I become impatient with someone. I am trying my best to have patience but some things and some people really do test how patient I am. Is it possible to be impatient with one’s self? I am sure it is and it might seem a bit ridiculous but we should try to forgive ourselves when we are and then forgive those who make us impatient too. They have done nothing wrong.

This week has been a quite unusual one. I have not done a great amount of work but I have earned enough and also have work scheduled for the next week or so. Today I installed wiring in an outbuilding for a guy who breeds guinea-pigs for a living. They are thoroughbred animals according to him and they sell around the world. Strange occupation I thought but hey, what’s it got to do with me? The wiring needed to be in place so his carpenter can line the walls and ceiling with insulation and plywood covering. I return later to ‘second fix’ as we say in the trade. There are other things to do as well like running a supply out there but I digress. This meant I got the necessary work done in an hour. I then visited the Wholesaler to buy some materials and as I was about to return home, for I had no other work to do, a guy called me to another small job 12 miles away. I got that done and returned home. I phoned ahead to E that we might go out for lunch. Where have you heard that one before? So that’s what we did. I was a good girl today and touched no alcohol. In the place we went to they have a free running soft-drink machine, newly installed so that you can help yourself as much as you desire, providing you pay for the first one. That cost a mere £2.09. Don’t ask why the nine pence. Most people only have a small top-up and they probably find they cannot drink too many carbonated drinks anyhow. We enjoyed the meal and I asked E if she would drop by a super-market so I could stock up on wine and colas.
Whilst we were waiting in the bar area to be seated (the restaurant was full so we decided to wait a while). We talked and E was complaining about her back pain. It appears that on her last visit to the doctor, which was some time ago now, she was informed that she had been born with a birth defect. Now I have known E for 38 years and apart from usual illnesses she has enjoyed good health so I was a little shocked at what she told me and I wondered why she hadn’t confided in me sooner. The doctor tells her that she has spina bifida. I held her hand and said, ‘You know you can rely on my support and help if and when things get worse’? She looked straight into my eyes and whispered, ‘Yes, I know’. I could see more than just her eyes. I think you understand. We talked a little about it and I asked if she’d spoken with anyone else. She didn’t wish to tell her elderly mum for fear of her worrying but she did tell her younger brother who lives with her mum. I asked if she had done or intended to mention it to our sons. Again she said she hadn’t for similar reasons. She is frightened that perhaps the gene has been passed on to them. I have assured her that I will look after her.
When we arrived home I had to dash to the toilet and I left the drinks in the car but when I returned to collect them she had already brought them inside. I felt a little pain in my stomach which gradually got worse during the evening. It was a combination of trapped wind and perhaps a tummy bug (hence the toilet!). Later I began to ache all over my torso, especially my arms. I have a headache right now and all I really want to do is retire to bed with some medication. I may have a mild attack of ‘flu or a nasty cold virus. In any event I feel lousy. I hope I am feeling better when I post this in the morning, Saturday. Have a nice weekend everyone!
Now it is Saturday and I am not well at all. If I was an alocholic (LOL) I could explain the delerium tremors I am experiencing but I know it’s the’flu!. Honest. I have just spent three hours trying to get online after my computer decided to go walkabout. With an engineer on the phone we sorted out the problem. I can annoy you all again…LOL

I was talking to somebody who makes communication with them very difficult. I have known this person for many, many years and I have tried my best with them but I know they are so stuck in their ways that I may never really get through to them. The person has an extremely stubborn attitude, refuses to engage in quality debate and is often so aggressive that I have to leave their presence. Many a time I have had my head bitten off for no reason at all. I persevere and hope that one day they will see that their attitude is driving people away. I suppose you’ll be wondering who this person is. The more astute will have already read between the lines. It is my ex-partner whom I will only refer to as ‘E’. The reason I bother with her is because I love her. I have lived with her now for 36 years and you would think that I would have given up years ago given the way she treats me. I don’t want to say anything nasty about her but she really does have a bad attitude at times. She and I hold different views on many things in life but in many things we find common ground. They say one should never try to change a person and I think that is right to a point. I have never tried to change E but I have tried to encourage her to take hold of life and be happy. All that I have done for her has been done in love, my love for her. I pray for her constantly.
