Sheesh… it can be hard enough to try and upload diary entries when you have to go and use the computer at the lab, but when you get home, you at least hope that the TV room will be free so you can relax to some Manga… no such luck however…
Today started off very sucky. At 7:00 am I got woken by a fire drill and had to stand around outside in my satin dressing gown which made me stand out a little more than usual (if that's possible). We got to go back in eventually, but my sleep pattern was completely stuffed after that and I got into the lab late.
Today was lazy again, I put on the final attempt at G1-Cl with purified 3-legged compound. One day when I get a chance, I will post some pics so you know what I'm talking about, it's not too hard, G1 means Generation # 1 with a Cl group on the end, and you can get Generation 2 (G2) and so on…
So, that won't be ready till tomorrow, so I fiddled around and did a few chores. I need to organize a eye-brow wax and eyelash tint, and get to Gloria's to get my hair and nails done. I want people to see those gender clues and go, "Oh, big tall female…". At least that's the hope, with Mardi Gras weekend on, who knows what they will have already seen, a rather unpracticed low-level tranny like myself probably won't even make a ripple… *g*
I mean, I'm doing all this stuff, because I want look my best, in which case my best is "ordinary", just blending in… hard for someone as tall as I, but not impossible I think. I'm just worried about my fuzz, I want to get a facial (I've never had one before) but I don't know if shaving will ruin the effect. Thank heavens pay-day is on Thursday. ;)
I've sent Jerri ("The Family Ghost" from Anti-Jen) my phone numbers and URL, I hope that we can get a chance to meet up when I am up there. I have not yet rung my middle brother Charles as to whether he wants to meet up on Sunday, I don't know whether it's a good idea or not. He is seeing his girlfriend off on Saturday, but I have his number so I can at least ring.
Anthony was back supervising what appeared to be the resurrection the computer network, so maybe so I will have ICQ back, that's more important right now than internet.
*Groan* Only just over a week until my birthday, I don't want to turn 25, that means I don't even get counted as "youth" any more, that's like 18-24 or something… *sigh* I guess old age is creeping up on me… I haven't even tried to organize anything yet, might just be like last year, forgotten and forgettable…
Tomorrow will be my last day on the Progynova. I am still worried as to whether the implant alone will give me enough estrogen. Hence I've been sticking to the last of my Progynova. However, tomorrow will be exactly 5 months since I officially started estrogens, so I will take the break now, and on Friday 31st March I'll get another Doctors appointment to find out exactly what is going on in my blood.
Yuck, I am starting to get fat again… and in the wrong places.
