11:30 pm Tuesday 14th September 1999
Ah, yet again I settle back and bask in the warm glow of my computer as I hack out another diary entry. So, what have I been up to?
Woke up and decided to go with the loop earrings, so I put them in after breakfast (will need more practice) and after getting my junk together I got into the lab about 9:40 am. I puttered around most of the morning and got some stuff started. After that I went to the chemist and got some foot powder and some iodine solution. The at 12:30 pm I met Nikki for lunch. I gave her a big hug because I'm in a kind of huggy mood since I got back… we got some stuff from the bakery and went over to the soccer oval and ate and chatted. Apparently there hasn't been much happening in Canberra Trans community whilst I was away, and this week she will be going down to Melbourne to see some old friends. After a while outside we went into God's for coffee, which I shouldn't have done since I'm trying to avoid caffeine these days where possible. So we continued to chat away until 2:00 pm when I had to go back to the lab. So after another hug I let hr get back to work. I did some more work at the lab and then at about 3:30 pm, Red rang. So I went over to Union Court and had nice chats with her. Apparently she's going to a Xena night at the Meridian on Thursday, should be fun…
So, A****** dropped by and I said congratulations and all that sort of stuff. Got to talk to his wife A*** on the phone and had a nice chat to her, she's a very nice individual who I have a lot of time for. She was telling me she had a 16 hour labour and I nearly gagged, so I was feeling very sympathetic… I guess I was taking vicarious pleasure from the birth of their child…
Also, Gloria rang me back and we organized Saturday's makeup session for 2:00 pm. It will be a fair while to sit in my room from 3:00 pm to 5:30 pm. According to the long range weather forecast it will be hot, followed by rain and then fine and cool for Saturday, so that would be perfect if it turns out. I just hope I don't ruin it whilst sitting around and getting dressed and so on.
I'm currently making a list of all the stuff I will have to take to Julia's, it's a fair bit, but I will end up wearing most of it. I still haven't made my eyebrow wax appointment yet, I'll do it tomorrow. Also on tomorrow is lunch with Szusza and having to pick up my dry-cleaning after 4:00 pm.
So, what else? Nothing too spectacular, had a nice long shower tonight. Next will be on Thursday and then Saturday around noon. I'm very thankful for the Androcur, it used to be that shaving gave me about 3 or 4 hours grace, now I probably have about 24 hours at least before I start to worry.
Was very naughty this afternoon, I was feeling hungry and went for some greasy fast food which was swiftly followed by a coke, so I have put all the wrong things into my body today. I didn't have a bottle of water with me, so I blame this oversight on my part. Next time I'll just have a drink, and that should put the hunger off until I get home and have something a bit more wholesome.
Chatted with Soba briefly on ICQ this evening, apparently the new "boyfriend" is acting uncertain and nebulous, and she doesn't know what to make of it. I tried to be helpful.
1:30 am – Just spent the last hour or so playing sucky computer games… Feeling hungry, so best that I go to bed…
