Pretty good thanks @tyme , although I'm getting a bit of a pms triggered migraine 😫
Making a mild chicken curry in the slow cooker today and went to the fruit market to stock up on our weekly fruits.
Trying some ruby kiwi fruits this week, not sure how they will be, but it's nice to try something new

@Jynx, I have shared one or two here and there, but I should actually post more regularly 😅
Haven't managed many these past few days, but I've got a couple of scenery shots

@Autumn-Claire I think this is a sound way to approach it tbh! Good luck 🤞💜

@Jynx soup dumplings popping open is a valid disappointment.
Pan fried with dipping soy sauce or chilli?
@Glisten soy! And atop a crunchy Asian noodle salad 🤤

@Jynx ended up just sending my mother a text while she was out, my anxiety and autism means face to face doesnt happen, but i got a good response from her, and the rest of the family has also been good and supportive, so that stress is gone

@Jynx The stress has gone, and im able to relax again. I'm already feeling much happier since figuring things out, and people using my new name to address me, feels great.

Oh yay, isn't it just a magnificent feeling @Autumn-Claire? Like a little bubble of joy 😊
If you ever feel like starting a discussion thread to celebrate trans joy, I think that would be magnificent!!
Hope you're well 💜
