So our car is in the shop. I just dropped it off about an hour ago, and Heidi (with Nate) was kind enough to meet me there and give me a ride home. Mark is staying home from work today. He hurt his chest somehow (they way he used to do) and he's in a lot of pain. Hopefully, we can get him to a doctor and they can do something for him, be it drugs or a cure or something, though in the past they haven't done shit; which is why Mark doesn't want to go now. The last refill on my perscription will be ready at 2pm, but I don't know when I'll be able to pick it up. I have to get it before April 4, because that's when the perscription ends. hmmmmm.

So, I had 'coffee' with Steve at Starbucks on Saturday, which was a lot of fun. It was great to see him again (he looks fantastic), and it was just like old times...only older. lol It would seem that we will at the very least remain friends, which is good to know...but there was...sparkage. I look forward to seeing him again.

Work was ok last night. I have Monday-Thursday off because of the car. The place I dropped it off at was kind of scary, but Mark has had work done there before, so it should be ok. I hope. It's gonna take all our money to get the car fixed. I still think it's a huge waste of money, at a time when we can't really afford it, but Mark is obsessed with the way the outside world views him as a result of the condition of his car. Mark's not stupid, but this really is.

I haven't slept much, so I'll probably sleep more soon. I rented some movies last night, but I don't know that I'll watch them right away. I had some problems with the latest DS9 book, so I don't know if I'll be diving into more Trek or if I'll hold off on that. The book was written well, and I enjoyed almost all of it, accept that one of the stories, which has been building for years now, ended with a series of scenes that seem ripped out of the first Alien sequel. It was horrible. And it completely killed my enjoyment of this long built up climax. It was really disappointing. I might watch some Justice League. ;-0)

I don't really have any plans today, which leaves me feeling a bit odd. We'll see what the day brings. It was fun to see Heidi & Nate this morning though.

Over the last 2 days I've almost completely reorganized every aspect of my bedroom. I think I like it, even while I'm slightly homesick for the way it used to be. It's nice to have a change. I can't believe it took me so long though. I still have some laundry to do. I should take some pictures in here to show how much it's changed.

I saw Steve again last night. He seems sad, but not overly so... I can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe I'm trying too hard... I don't know. But it seems we will be friends again, which I'm glad of. I think he needs friends, that won't just bullshit him. I got a free copy of his cd. It's amusing, but probably wouldn't mean a damn to me if it wasn't for him being involved with it.

I had called Janice on Saturday, but didn't talk to her for more than a minute because she had a fever. I checked in with her today, and she's doing better, but still doesn't have any energy. I hope she'll be ok. I spoke to Jonathan on the phone. He's so funny. Jordan's taking new meds, which seem to be helping him. Justin's supposed to start baseball practice this week. Jillian was playing with Brooke. It was nice to catch up. But I wish I heard from Jamie more often.

I did have one amazing conversation with Jamie a long while back, and it looked like we would continue having such conversations (the way that Janice & I do), but she told me something very private and then jumped to conclusions when she learned that Janice knew about it too - she thought I told her, and before I could explain she hung up on me. I was so angry at the time, that she would think me possible of such a thing, that I didn't correct her mistake - I didn't tell Janice - her fiance did. He made a joke about it in front of Janice & our mother. Janice just asked me a question about it, which was asked out of love, not out of some wacky gossipy bitchdom. And now Jamie and I might never be that close again. I know it's mostly this guy's fault, but part of me still stings to think that Jamie believes I betrayed her.

I talked to Carrie yesterday, which was nice. I talked to Jennifer (finally) Tuesday night, and learned the sordid details of her recent visit to Michigan and why I never saw her. Plus we got to chat it up about boys, which is always fun. There used to be so many more boys to chat about and now we're just...circling the same 2 or 3...or that's how it seems. Weird.

I look forward to seeing my friends' reactions to my room. I feel kind of tired today, or maybe just tired of being here. I miss work, and I wish I was there right now. I miss having a car. There have been a half dozen times this week in which I would have just jumped in the car and gone somewhere, but I couldn't. Bleh. I'm ok though, and I guess that's all that matters... But I want to do SOMETHING.
