So...my stomach has been fairly upset for a week now. Last night was extremely disturbing. With Mark's support (thanks Mark), I made a followup appointment with one of my doctors, who had told me about another drug that I might take for this problem. The doctor is on vacation for 2 weeks, and I can't see him until Thursday, May 29. Until then I'm going to attempt to take my pills regularly (which I'm not required to do), and see if that helps. Even if it doesn't I can report this information at my appointment.

I also cancelled my plans with Jordan. He's a great guy. He's cute, and funny, and hot, and amusing, and lots of other words that all add up to someone that would be a lot of fun to date...only I can't date right now. I need to focus on me, and get this stuff sorted. I try to downplay this stuff as much as possible but it's a HUGE deal, and I just have to hold on and get through this shit. Until I do, I won't be comfortable seeing anyone... I left messages explaining this, and saying that I'd like to go out with him again someday when I'm good, or at least be friends. I didn't want him to think I was just being an asshole. It feels like I'm doing the right thing.

I also talked to DJ at work about this. He let me off today, and took me off the schedule for next week. We also got to talk in depth about the drugs I'm taking, and it turned out that he was on similar medication recently and so he completely understood what I'm going through as far as side effects go, so that was great - this also probably works out for Hollywood, as they've had a major labor problem lately. Hopefully, I'll be getting that $600.00 from the government soon, which will help me compensate for this week off of work. DJ was ready to let me off until my doctor's appointment, but I told him we could just play it by ear after this week.

I also ran into Jean Wiggin at the store; she's one of my favorite customers, and we are very open with each other on all sorts of topics, and we talked about all this as well (plus Doctor Who), and she's rooting for me as well. So I feel like I've got a plan, and people that care about me, and hopefully this won't be too rough...and I'll get some results.

Michael is coming over around 3 or 4. We're going to hang out and watch BSG. He's gonna help me with a special favor, which will hopefully offset some of the side effects of my new meds. It will be really great to see him too.

We've been having these brown outs, and we had one just before I left to drive Mark to work (and mail Mollie's package) - and now one of the bulbs is burnt out so it's way dimmer in here than it should be. I'll have to get a new bulb from Meijer later. I also need eggs and boost. Hopefully I remember that.

And now...I'm gonna straighten up my room.
