9:20 am - Saturday 22nd July 2000

Well, today isn't quite the day, but it's the weekend, so I'll celebrate anyway.
Tomorrow will be my one year anniversary of hormones. It really isn't a useful date, because I didn't start taking estrogen until 1st October, and effects didn't really start to happen in a major way until I dropped my Androcur dose earlier this year.
However, despite all that, it is my anniversary, and also a few days ago it was the two year celebration of my diary. Suffice to say for a long time my writings were remarkably bad (in retrospect) but I guess it was the "long-dark-clearing-of-the-throat" which took about 200 tries to begin to get right. ;)
I suppose it is something which I can be proud of because I never thought I'd be able to keep it up, and watch it like so many other projects wither on the vine. In many ways it does characterize my transition so far, and since it starts a year before I went on hormones and therefore documents a very important part of my life before my physical and mental sense of self began to change.

10:30 am - Time to get out and enjoy the day…

4:00 pm - One super-sized snooze with extra grogginess later and I'm back.
I'm a bit worried about the laser treatment and the possible overlap with my CIT workshops which I'll be doing (The singing and DJ'ing ones). These start at the beginning of August. I guess I'll be lumpy (like Peta G was) for a week or so, but that is tolerable I suppose compared with the results I've been reading about on-line about the new laser.
