Oh god I'm tired. This morning I had to fix the flat tire which I acquired yesterday. That was cool though, some positive work to do with my hands.
Got into the lab about 10:30 am and got right to work. By 5:00 pm I had four reactions stirring away contentedly and had finally sent the samples to Belgium. I passed on attending what could have been an interesting seminar, and set up the last reaction instead.
I had gone into Civic during the day, and it was really packed. Fortunately I only had to pick up my hormones, so that was easy enough. I bailed at 5:00 pm and headed home. On the way home I bumped into Astro and Bridget, so I chatted with them and got reminded of drinks at 6:00 pm.
So I chained my bike up and bumped into Jules as I walked through the doors. We chatted for a while, but then I was running late for my over-due shower and so grabbed my stuff and headed for the showers. Fortunately there was still hot water, and I had a very quick all-over shave. There isn't much hair left on my upper-torso anyway, so it was relatively quick, legs always seem to take forever.
By the time I had gotten out and shaved my face and gotten ready it 6:30 pm. Eeek! So I raced around and dressed rather blandly, but that was because I was running late for Gidget's drinks. I wasn't partaking of any alcohol for various reasons, and so I got up there with my camera at hand and had a cocktail glass full of Creaming Soda.

Dinner bit goes here…

After the dinner most of us went back to Bridget's room and did more socializing. A few different groups dropped by, including P*** who was rather incredibly pissed. *s* A***** was there and hence Lloyd was in hiding. ;) After a while people started to head for the Tavern or elsewhere, so I went to chat with Jules and Anthony. That was cool, later Susan and Bridget came in. I was chatting with Gidge about my life changes, and she mentioned how Paul had set up Susan and Jules with the breasts question. That sneaky bastard. ;) I really, really felt bad about the way we had not got on while he was here, and really want to make amends somehow. I may send him an email, but not tonight. Gidge was really supportive, she said to her it was "Weird but OK". I probably treat my transsexualism in a rather blasé manner, because I am one and quite a number of close friends are too and I suppose I can forget just how unusual it can to other close "normal" friends (note how I used the inverted commas) *s*. I need to take time to allay their concerns and yet at the same time keep moving along my own path.
After that the girls went off to have a merry time, and I stayed to chat with Anthony and Jules for a while. That was cool just kicking back, and eventually I headed down here. Listened to some music, got an email from and sent a reply to my supervisor and got this entry going.
I'm really buggered, and since I didn't eat the awful John's dinner, I think I'm going to be really hungry come the morning.
