Work went well when I finally got there. I worked with DJ, Laura, Alex, John & Bill. I bought some girl scout cookies. After work, I was finally able to eat, so we stopped at McDonald's on our way to Dundee to visit with Mark's family. It was the best visit I've ever had with that side of the family. Mark's step-sister Veronica, and her kids were there, as were Mark's father, step-mother, sister-in-law, and nephews. And for the first time I think, I really felt like part of the family, which is odd, since Mark & I aren't a couple anymore. But I just think that after 12 & 1/2 years they've grown used to me, or more likely the idea of me, and now it would seem odd if I wasn't around. lol Still, it was fun, and I wasn't sure that it would be.

After we left there (I think it was around 9:30pm, but I could be wrong) we drove home during a snow storm, with some huge snow flakes! It was pretty, but we were glad that we left when we did, as it only started snowing about half way back to Ann Arbor, and we probably saved ourselves a bit of a hassle.

We stopped at Kroger for groceries on the way home. I called Michael back. I had called him from Mark's parents' house earlier but couldn't talk there. I was so beyond exhausted at this point, but wanted to tell him about the night. I told him I had to go though, as we were checking out, but that I'd try to hop online once I got home.

The trip to the car was blinding; the snow was so thick and fierce, but we got home eventually, and it was all rather pretty and ethereal to my sleep deprived brain. The disc that I had been burning when we left had failed. I started a new one right off without thinking about it, but then I couldn't hop online. I decided I'd call Michael instead, but realized I'd left my phone in the car, and didn't feel like going out there to get it now, as I was undressed and I just crawled into bed. When my disc finished burning, I did something really fast for Mark, but then tumbled into bed again without thinking about it and fell right back to sleep.

I woke up this morning, and got dressed, and went out to the car to get my phone, which was frozen, and dead. I charged it up, but didn't think it was any use calling Michael now as he was most likely sleeping. I started another disc, and went back to bed for an hour. I finished 'Prince Caspian' and started another Star Trek book. The disc I started just finished, so I took the time to write this, but now I'll start another one and get something to eat. I'm really pushing these discs as much as possible, as I'll be sending more of them than I had originally planned. ;-0)
