I drove Mark to work this morning, then came home. I was going to drive to the court house, but then decided to walk, which didn't work out as I assumed I'd need my old ticket (even though it wasn't really valid anymore, as it was still part of the case), only I didn't need it after all. After walking there & back I drove and parked near the Aut Bar. I had to go through the metal detecter at the court house, and I had to take off a bunch of jewelry and then my boots too. I was wearing an older pair which are a bitch to get on again, so it took me forever to actually get to the place I needed to go, but when I did there wasn't a line, and my horrible ticket case was officially closed.

I walked back to my car, but then headed over the Farmer's Market. I wanted an apple, but decided I'd visit Jeremy & Kim first at Encore. They were both at the front of the salon, which was conveniant, and it was a nice visit. Jeremy had to go cut hair, and I was going to leave, but one of his coworker's had brought her little boy to work, and he started playing with me and asking me questions, and I didn't really need to be anywhere else, so I just played along. I told him about growing up on a farm, and all the animals; and my favorite pet, the raccoons. He was very impressed. He was adorable, not annoying at all; 4 years old, named Dominique. I took a walk up to the toy store to get some things for a friend that I'd been eyeing for awhile, and saw that they had a raccoon puppet, which I bought for the kid, which he really liked, and everyone else just...beamed at me. It was just this impulsive thing, but it felt good. ;-0)

Kim, Dominique & I were going down to the market; I'd been vocal about my desire for an apple, and Jeremy decided he could join us as well. When we got to the actual market though he told me to wait for him and ran back inside. When he returned he told me that he had forgotten his money and he wanted to buy me an apple. Awwww. We toured the little market area, and Jeremy learned about some plants he has in his yard, and others that he wants to have in his yard. He told me interesting things from his recent vacation, that were both surprising and vague, but we weren't in the best forum for a graphic discussion. lol

I told Jeremy about my mother. I don't know if I mentioned this before, but Tuesday I had this weird feeling that I needed to call my mom. I did but she wasn't home. I asked my younger sister Jamie how mom was and she said that she seemed fime, and I left it at that. Mom called me when she got home from work, and asked me how much I had heard, which confused me, since I hadn't heard anything really. She told me that she was told by a doctor that she might be going blind!?! I told her that was horrible, but she said that she didn't really trust the doctor that told her this and that she was getting a 2nd opinion on Friday. We didn't get to talk more because I had to go...

So I told Jeremy about that, and he asked some questions, and I mentioned that she was probably at work right then, and that she worked in Ann Arbor, and where she worked, and Jeremy told me that his brother and a cousin of his had both worked there too! His very Christian brother's name is Josh. My little sister dated an annoying Christian boy named Josh who worked there as well!?! We were all freaked that my little sister might have dated his little brother!?! lol How weird/cool would that be? lol I talked to my Grandmother about it though and she seems to think that the boy's name was Josh Hill. Even if it's not the same boy, it's still pretty weird to me. And it's possible that mother knew Jeremy's relatives. Wacky.

Grandma also gave me some info about my Dad. I need to track him down, because he want's us to hang out for his birthday (which is also his daughter's birthday - August 23). I called Doug (my step-father) as well, and we had a funny little chat. I miss him.

Jeremy bought me an apple from inside the Kerry Town Shops, and also bought some cheese, cherries and raspberries. We ate in the salon, and talked. It sounds corny, but it's always fun to hang out with Jeremy. I was parked at a parking meter, and I put way too much money in that thing today! lol Jeremy couldn't find his keys so I drove him to his car (which he did have keys to), and then we went to WRAP so could get some work done there. It was still fun hanging out, and having random moments of smiles, and conversations, and flirtations, but he was really busy, and I was really tired, so he gave me a hug goodbye, and then gave me some good kisses. ;-0) I went home and went to sleep.

My alarm woke me to pick up Mark. I finished a cd for Magan, and dropped that off on the way, so I wouldn't miss her. I picked up Mark, and we went to Lowes, as Mark needed some stuff for my new computer, and I didn't want to have to go there tomorrow. Tony Flint, my old boss from Meijer (10 years ago now), was there! He's been working there for 2 years, and sees Mark all the time, and always tells him to tell me hello, and he never has!!! I was so happy to see him. We exchanged phone #s, and even though I was very tired, I asked him if he wanted to hang out tonight, but he has to work early tomorrow and couldn't do it. He's about 10 years older than me (he's 42), which he would never tell us back in the day. He has a person he sleeps with, and he lives in Ann Arbor, and seems happy with his job - and we might hang out sometime tomorrow, which would be great.

I'm also, hopefully spending some time with Jeremy tomorrow, who took the day off for his birthday, only to have people insist he do a bunch of stuff that day (as nobody really knows it's his birthday, and he doesn't want to tell them). He's not handling the aging process very well, which is something that I've never had a problem with, so I can't really relate. Like, I'm excited that I'm going to be 32, which seems weird to a lot of people I've told.

I have to drive Mark to & from work tomorrow. I have to see Jeremy at sometime. And maybe see Tony tomorrow as well; he works until 3pm. Oh, and our old friend Yvette Tower will be starting as a cashiere back at Meijer tomorrow after 7pm, and I thought it would be great if we went and saw her, but he doesn't go to that Meijer ever; they let him go where there were a bunch of job cuts a few years ago, and I think it still bothers him. That's all I know about tomorrow.

After we left Lowe's we stopped at Meijer for nothing, and then Aut Bar, so Mark could briefly meet Magan & Gerry, then home. I went right to sleep, and slept until around 10:50pm. Then I had a snack and wrote this. I need to take a shower and get something more substantial to eat.
