Hmmm, I have to admit, that this diary really is a kind of aversion therapy, whenever it gets late in the night and I should be trying to get my mid-term report together, I find it easier to open up a new document and write whatever I did during the day. So, what have I been up to? Got up and was feeling a little bit yucky most of the day. Just some stomach upset and a general non-willingness to do work. The first is unusual, but not the second. ;)
Got into work at 10:30 am and puttered around most of the day. I will be happy to get this report out of the way and get away from the computer and back into the lab. It's up to about 12 pages, and really just requires me to put in my conclusions, so I'll just have to motivate myself.
I'm going to try and organize coffee with Jen and have a chat with her, maybe for Wednesday or Thursday. What else? Got an email from Nikki, apparently the photos she got professionally done with Michelle turned out to be "very" expensive and she couldn't end up affording them, which was a shame. The idea of professional photo's is nice, but I have too many other expenses to deal with first.
The city to surf is on the 15th August, so I have to start getting ready for that too. That will be a good time for me to get some of the new things I need.
Health wise I'm not doing too bad. My lips are peeling at an incredible rate, I'm still not sure whether the Roaccutane is working, and it's too early to say what effect if any the Androcur is having. Apparently it helps stop oil production in the skin, so it has a similar mechanism. I will need to be aware of my weight, I have the tendency to eat when I'm bored, and also when I want to settle my stomach. Having a pair of scales would make this much easier to track. I was reading Jen's diary a while back and she seemed to be able to notice effects after about 2 weeks. She was taking estrogen's also, so I'll have to wait and see. I guess the thing I'm happiest about is that the evil testosterone will not be exerting an effect anymore. Hurrah! :) The weak progestational effects are also good news. That should mean (IMHO) a slow feminization which is fine by me.
As for what the parents will say? Who knows. As I've said before, going home for Xmas will be interesting, even though they will be over here before that. Loss of hair on my arms would probably be quite noticeable, especially over summer at home. I can't believe redistribution of fat should be that great to be noticeable, maybe if I was on estrogens also.
Just sent Jen an email asking if she is up for coffee on Thursday.
The words from a song "grey inertia" are swimming through my head, but I can't remember where the heck I heard them. I tried searching on the internet with no luck.
I'm not tired yet (11:30 pm), but I'm bored and I figure the only thing left is to get ready for bed.
