Just a quick entry here from me, I was up early again as my body-clock continues to reset and with the last part of the lecture series on this morning. Chatted to Lloyd at breakfast this morning. It was good to talk to him, as I haven't had a chance to in quite a while. He seems well, and appears to be his usual jovial self. Also spoke to Amanda who was promoted at her job.
Went to work, and attended the last lecture in the current series. It was definitely the most boring one of the lot, and I really was struggling to stay awake. The lecturer handed out assessment task sheets, but I'm damned if I'll answer the questions, considering I was dragged into the whole affair just so the lecture series wouldn't be cancelled due to "lack of interest".
The reaction I left going last night worked out fine which was good, I was able to squeeze into NMR time and check it. I did lunch with Red and Susan at 1:45 pm and Emma and Anthony C turned up later and we all had a good chat. Got back to work after an hour and went on a bit of a lab frenzy. Set up a whole bunch of reactions, and there are three set up for overnight which is why I am glad I can sleep in tomorrow.
This morning I got an email from Nikki who said in essence that she wasn't going to come to the Ball. This upset me a fair bit, since I was under the strong understanding that she wanted to and was going to go. I got an email from Mack, so this cheered me up a little.
Tonight I came home, had dinner and then went and had a good all over shave. The smoothness is very nice, and I do believe that my hair growth on my chest and face is decreasing. Also, I feel sure that the hair on my chest in becoming finer too. I don't have anything to compare it too, but I'm sure of it, hurrah!
My supervisor left for overseas today, he was at the lab with his wife and young children, and finally left at ~7:15 pm. I of course stayed around and said "Adios". I suppose this will be a good opportunity to see if I can self-direct myself.
I also sent a general email to the tranny-radio email group saying hello and asking if there were any young tranny's who wanted to chat. Sometimes it seems as though my circle of T* friends is much too small to be "genetically" viable. Anyway, making friends is always a good thing if it happens, so I'll keep my fingers crossed.
I also sent an email to Szusza thanking her for her email and just generally shooting the breeze.
OK, it's mid-night and my brain is failing, off to bed… zzzzzzzz
