Mental couple of days

Ok, I haven't blogged for a while but I've been too busy/knackered. (sorry!)
Nothing exciting happened until Friday when I had people round and made lots of plans, sorry for how vague that is but it took hours and was quite enjoyable so it needs to be said. 
Saturday morning I went to the Metro Centre and shopped like a beast, bought loads of clothes and feel more confident than ever. I think I've found my style :D basically shirt and jeans, I love shirts, I think they make it easier to pass but mainly just make me feel and look good :). Passed all over the place while shopping :) I don't even think about it as much as before!
In the afternoon, I spent time with my amazing girlfriend before rushing round like headless chickens trying to get ready for the ball in the evening. The ball was pretty good, my old friends who had graduated and moved away came back to Newcastle and was great to see them, they all accepted the change and called me by my chosen name with the right pronouns, very few mistakes actually which was really good! Some of the other people at the ball were staring and I could tell I was being spoken (bitched) about but ti be honest, it's expected and doesn't really bother me that much. I don't associate with them and I don't care what they think. 
Sunday was pretty damn good too! Did some more clothes shopping with the mrs and got more shirts. Had quite a nice lazy day other than that, was feeling pretty run down from the excitement and worry of the night before. 
On Monday morning, I went to see my GP who is awesome, really helpful. I really only went for a general check up to keep each other updated about stuff. I spoke about the ridiculous waiting list for the GIC and said I'm thinking about going privately to get hormones. Asked her about a shared care agreement and if the guy in London said I was allowed T then could she do the bloods and prescribe etc so I don't have to pay too much. She said she will get in touch with Dr. Curtis and Dr. Lorimer and find out what the crack is. My doc said she was happy to do it and the only thing it would depend on would be follow up help from the docs in London, for example when she does blood tests, what is she looking for and how it affects the dose I should be on. Basically, it's looking very promising on that front! Still waiting for my parents to get a bit more used to the idea of it so I can change my name officially and tell work. I feel like I'm in limbo the more I wait to get it sorted.
After seeing the doc, my girlfriend and I went into town and it was really good, pretty sure I was passing a lot then too, I still get the odd funny look of "I don't know what you are.." These looks make me laugh, like the person in a random shop needs to know my gender to serve me!! Still the looks are getting rarer. I think having my stunning girlfriend on my arm helps :P
That afternoon I took my best friends to the airport, did you know, if you just drop someone off at an airport and I mean literally.. Drive in.. Chuck out.. Drive off.. You have to pay?!?! It was a whole pound!! Rip off. other than that, nothing excited at the airport lol.
Yesterday evening was a TT meeting. Good to see people and chat about stuff that no-one else understands. Then curry and bed :D
Today is back to work and back to the boring life I tend to lead instead of the excitement of the last few days.
