I'm just getting ready for tonight, it's the first time I've worn make up since the end of November (at the Tri-Ess dinner). Funnily enough this is a similar occassion.
In theory I should be at the gym, but I already cycled to and back from the University twice today, so that about does my exercise for the day. Maybe some stomach cruchers before bed.
Last night was interesting, I won't go into too much detail, but I had dinner with Barbara-Anne and her friend (whose name I can't remember) before the meeting. Barbara's friend was a good friend of Catherine Cummings, an Australian girl who wrote a book called "Catherine's Diary", so small world syndrome struck again. After dinner we went around to the church hall and slowly people started trickling in. It was mostly CD's, some with their spouses and me as easily the youngest (still!), I'd had two beers so was fairly talkative. Ann Volker arrived and gave her talk, which was interesting, though not with me as the general target sub-set. I talked with a few people afterwards and they seemed very nice, I think there may have been 20 to 25 people there. What really blew me away was talking with one girl Dee, who was telling me how she's been full time for almost a year and was planning to go up to Montreal for her Op. Not all that unusual except that she was 80! Meep! Still, I thought that it was a great thumb of the nose to people who say "Oh I'm too old to transition".
After that, Barbara, her friend and myself were going to go to this club on Sunset Drive, except it didn't open until midnight, which I suppose I should have guessed by all the little gothlings who were hanging about the place. Instead we had coffee, then I came home and made a half-hearted attempt to scrub off my make-up and crashed in bed.
On Saturday afternoon I saw "The Mothman Prophecies" which was interesting, and today I spent the afternoon at the lab. Tomorrow it's back to work as always. I just picked up some photos, and I expect I shall post a few of them because *shock, horror* I don't look to bad in them.
