About an hour after my last entry (on Easter Sunday) I was in the car on my way to Michael's house in Taylor Michigan. I got lost only once, and it was my own fault. I'd written down that his street was on the right, but it was on the left. We went to breakfast at Denny's though I'd already slept. It was nice being out and about with him; he looked extra hot, in a cool red & black leather jacket. Just seeing him smile and blush is an amazing high for me. Our waitress was Irish, and friendly. The girl who sat us looked tired, but I liked her hair. The boy that rang us up was named Clifford and I flirted with him a bit (never having met a boy named Clifford before), but it was all in good fun. Not being able to kiss Michael was driving me bonkers!!!

On the way back to Michael's house we talked about going shopping or getting a hotel, but we hung out at his place. Scott was awake and we actually got along. It was nice. Melissa got up later and we played Wii Bowling. Scott and Melissa left for an overnight visit with Scott's boyfriend Antonio (who I've apparently talked with online?). Michael and I made out, without kissing. lol. We're trying to wait to see if I have mono or not; I'm getting tested today.

I played Wii baseball and tennis. It was fun. We played in Michael's bedroom. Then decided we'd come back to Ann Arbor, driving separately so that Mark would have the car to go to work. The drive was nice. He really doesn't live that far away.

I changed my clothes when we got home; I can never make up my mind. lol. We went to my grandmother's and that was all good, though I found it oddly exhausting. My grandmother and I had a moment where we might have had a much more serious discussion, which is rare for us - but I didn't want to upset Michael so I put it off for a later time. It's not that I'm upset with my Grandma, but there's a point that I don't think I expressed clearly, and I'd like to explain it.

We took the scenic route back home. Then we went to Pizza House. There was a discussion about what we like about each other, and what we don't like. What we could change if we could. Michael seems to worry that I'll drop him for some other guy...but I don't really see that happening, as I've never done that in the past. When I'm with someone I do notice other people, but I'm pretty focused on my partner and I as a couple. I used to write about other people all the time when I was dating but I hardly even do that anymore. I'd like to start that up again as it was fun...but I don't know if I'll get around to it. Anyways, the food was good, the company was better, and the conversation was fun. It was really great, actually.

When we got back to the condo we played some video games, but Michael had to get going after a while to take care of his dogs (Dax &...Christie I think). He suggested I could come home with him and stay the night, but I'd been in 2 cat infested environments that day and didn't want to risk not breathing. Also, I was getting really tired and didn't want to get back in a car...and I was feeling overwhelmed. It was all good, as I said, but sometimes even when it's like that it's a bit overwhelming that this is all happening and I need to take a breather.

Right around the time that Michael left I started coughing uncontrollably. I went to bed, and it eventually calmed. I thought maybe I'd caught Mark's cold, and maybe I have, but I'm fine now. Perhaps it was a late response to all the cat stuff; I'm sure I brought home some cat fur on my clothes. I don't know.

I slept pretty well. I woke up several times this morning and tried to sleep more. My stomach was slightly upset, but not as much as it has been lately. Perhaps because I've been taking my pills again.

Mark got home around 8:30am. He was extremely cranky, but I didn't take it personally because he's very sick, and he'd also been awake for 24 hours. Who could blame him for being cranky? I can't. I get uber cranky when I don't sleep. And I'm a horror when I'm sick, which is why I tend to hibernate and avoid others when I'm that way.

I have a doctor's appointment today at 2pm, to test for mono. If I actually see my doctor, and don't just go to the lab, I might talk to him about some other issues that I discussed with Michael (and have talked about with Mark in the past). But that's only if I see the Doctor. Michael has offered to go with me, and that will probably happen.

Michael is coming over today, though we haven't decided when. We want to see each other. We want to take some pictures and set up a myspace page for Michael. We also might go pay Mark's life insurance policy as Mark is so exhausted; he just has to write the check and then I'll go pay it for him. If I can.

I should also do the dishes, which I didn't get to yesterday. I forget to do them lately, because I've not been dirtying any of the dishes (ok, maybe 2 of them) - but I should still do them as Mark seems to hate it and he's not feeling well.

Oh. And I put in an order from Amazon today for all the Star Trek books that I want from now until the end of 2009. I do that. I preorder my Trek books and then they just arrive at my door; the last such order (Vanguard: Open Secrets - May 2009) is about to run dry. Plus I also finally ordered my copy of Caprica, which comes out on Tuesday. Aside from Caprica the order also included a New Frontier graphic novel that forgot to order last October, but all other items haven't come out yet:

New Frontier: Turnaround (October 2008)
Caprica (April 21)
Next Gen: Losing the Peace (July)
Myriad Universes: The Last Generation (July)
DS9: The Soul Key (August)
DS9: The Never Ending Sacrifice (September)
Enterprise: The Romulan War (October)
Voyager: Unworthy (October)
Titan: Synthesis (November)
Vanguard: Precipice (December)

The only other purchases that I'm likely to make this year that I know of now are the final BSG DVDs (4.5 & "The Plan") and any of the new Doctor Who / Torchwood / Sarah Jane discs, though I might have to wait on those as I'm not sure I'll have the cash for them. I'm hoping by then that I will.

Ok. I need to shave and shower.
