My doctor's appointment went well on Thursday. She didn't understand the Endoscopy results either, so it wasn't just me; she's going to inquire about those results and then call me this week. I also had some blood work done, that was supposed to be done months ago, only the other doctor they sent me too was a twit and didn't have it done; I hope to never see him again. She told me that there used to be a really great doctor they sent people to but he died. :-0( That sucks. I also got a flu shot; my first. I don't know if it will really help with the flu, as I've heard all kinds of horror stories, but I figured that if I was there I might as well give it a go.

The other, main reason I was there, was that I was getting tested for an STD. I've only been fucking one guy, and he told me that he had something in his throat. He sleeps with a lot of guys, but he had figured out where and when and how he'd gotten it, and we figured that he & I had only been together once in that time period. We both had colds then, or stuff resembling colds, so we hadn't kissed...and it just so happened that he didn't go down on me in that encounter (there was no need, as it was hot as always) - but he did rim me. I figured that my exposure was so limited, and I didn't have any symptoms, that I was probably fine, and I wasn't worried about it. And I don't think it's humiliating to get tested for stds, as that's just part of being an adult who has sex. And if you can't deal with that aspect, then you shouldn't be having sex at all. Even when you're in a relationship; you never really know if your partner is faithful; it's just something you always have to be prepared for. Plus my doctor is just really cool. So...I got tested for gonorrhea. The test is rather uncomfortable, as it involves them using a swab to get a samble from your dick. They basically stick a q-tip inside your penis, and then turn it every which way for 30 seconds to make sure they get a sample. I think I nearly screamed. But it was over really fast, and my doctor kept making me laugh. Then they did the same thing to my ass, which wasn't uncomfortable at all. I was to get my results next week...but then got a call telling me they screwed up the results because they learned that one of the samples needed to be in a lab within 2 hours for it to be effective. Within that time I'd gotton a symptom after all, which I thought was just something rather random. I wasn't in pain, or anything and most of the symtoms for what I actually ended up having were things that I deal with all the time. Am I being cryptic? lol My doc prescribed the pill for me on the spot. The man who infected me, was really worried I'd be upset, but really I'm just grateful that he told me, as I might not have known I was infected for months, or possibly years, and that would have been very, very bad. Very Bad. I feel very lucky. Though that feeling changed slightly later that night.

Work on Friday was fun. I worked with Matt, Pat, Kyle, & Nate. Bryan stopped in for awhile. Heidi eventually joined us. I had some really fantastic customers, and it was really just a great work day. ;-0)

After work, Mark & I came home and cleaned the condo. Jeremy & Danny stopped by later, though Danny stayed in the car. I actually wish he would have come in. I would have liked to show him my Trek stuff, and...I guess I'd just like to let him into my life...but he has to walk through the door for that to happen. So Jeremy could only stay for a very short while, as Danny was staying in the car, waiting for him so they could go have dinner. I was disappointed that I coudn't see him longer. But I showed him this little video I'd made a few years ago, we chatted, kissed, and then I updated his DS9 discs, both for him, and my coworker Pat, who wanted to borrow a disc that Jeremy had borrowed, but was finished with. Jeremy left, and Mark gave me a hug, saying he knew that I was probably disappointed that Jeremy couldn't stay longer. Jeremy had also told us that he was going to New York on Tuesday, and staying for a week. That worries me a bit...Jeremy's going through a rough patch right now, and I'm not sure if the vacation will be good or bad for him right now...but I'm leaning towards bad. I guess I'll know soon enough...only I'm not sure I will. erg.

Friday night I went to the Aut Bar. I didn't really expect to see anyone. I saw Redcloud. I saw Chad, who I think moved back to where he came from today, or maybe he's going tomorrow. But Chad was acting kind of odd, so I moved on fast. Frank/Lee was there with his ex-bf Ryan. And I ran into Nick. Nick is this tall muscular surfer engineer who's 46 & has great chemistry with me. We always have the best hugs. But something always screws us over where timing is concerned. And Friday night was no exception. He wanted us to finally hook up...only I couldn't because of my little STD problem. Which I told him about when he insisted we do SOMETHING. lol He was very understanding about it, but very disappointed, and for the first time since I'd learned I was infected, so was I.

Later, my spirts were soaring. I don't know why, but I was suddenly in a really good mood. I met this 34 year old guy named Ryan, who's birtday was in July (Cancer), who claimed that Leos & Cancer's get along very well, and that he dated a Leo for a year. We had good chemistry, and things were going very well, but afterwards he wanted to smoke some pot with me, which would have been fantastic, except I had to go to the pharmacy and get my pill. And while I really wanted to smoke with him, in every sense of the word, I didn't want my judgment impaired at this time. He didn't seem happy about that, and left without getting my phone #. That all sucks...but I feel really good about not doing it, especially since I really, really wanted to.

Saturday I got a call from my cousin Joy, inviting me to see Nightmare Before Christmas in 3D at Showcase. I couldn't make it to the show, but she was having a bonfire at her house in Milan that night, so I went to that instead. Before I went I was making some cheese sticks to snack on, but when I tried to take them out of the over, they all rolled off the cookie sheet, and melted inside the oven!!! That really sucks. I have to get some over cleaner, and really scrub the thing down later. Anyways, the party was fun, once I found her house. It was her father's old place. Joy is my mother's mother's sister's dauther's daughter. lol Most of the people there were people Joy worked with or went to school with. It was a good bunch and I bonded with a few, while I enjoyed almost all the others as well. I had a really good time, and I'm glad I went. I stayed until nearly 5am. There's a lot more I could say about the party, but I have a limited amount of time to get stuff done today so I'm going to move on. ;-0)

Somewhere in all that stuff, I managed to finish 2 books I've been reading, which I rather enjoyed.

I work tonight; 7pm-close. I have Monday off. I work Tuesday. I have Wednesday off, then work Thursday & Friday. I have Saturday off, and most likely close on Sunday.

Work Sunday night was busy, but fun. I worked with Kyle & Nate. Bryan & Chris stopped, by and it was so great to see Chris; I haven't seen her much lately, and I got a really good hug. Some of my favorite customers were there, who also jumped on the hug-train ;-0) It was fun. After work I went to the bank and filled the gas tank before heading over to Club Divine to see Jeremy. I knew it was most likely the last time I'd see him for at least a week as he's going to New York. It was dead, so I got to visit with him. He told me he resigned as president of WRAP, which is really good news, as it hadn't been worthwhile on his end for some time. He enjoyed the work that was getting done, but not a lot of the politics surrounding it; the drama I guess you'd say. He'll still be working for them in some capacity though. He drove me to my car at the end of the night, and gave me a kiss goodbye.

When I got home I sent my cousin Joy a thank you note for inviting me to her bonfire - and then told her all sorts of stuff that I thought about in the car on the way home. Hopefully that will go over well. ;-0)

Today I slept in, which was fantastic. I worked on my website, and watched some Trek. Mark & I planned out exactly who we're voting for tomorrow, which is cool. And an ex-boyfriend of mine called to let me know that he'd probably be in town at Necto tonight, so I need to get ready and get over there ASAP. It's always nice to see old friends.

On a side note...I've been missing random people lately. People that I know I'll see soon, but I want to see more of them now. People like Mollie, and Carrie, and Joy, and Travis, and Chris, and Bobby, and DJ. All kinds of people. lol And I wish I'd gotten to see Jeremy today, because I really would have enjoyed a nice snuggle.

I had a good time at Necto. I saw Matt & company. Angela was there, as were Becky, Vince, Damien, and other people I know from the bar. I danced a lot. I chatted with Matt, who's moving to Boston this coming summer. It was a good time.

After I got home I watched some more Trek; I'm rewatching Season 4 of Enterprise. I'm super tired, but I need to take a shower; I'm still sweaty from dancing. I need to turn the air down, so I can sleep, and my acid reflux is worse than it's been in ages. I ordered a drink at the bar, which I got for free thanks to Becky, but I think she misheard what kind of drink I wanted, as it didn't taste like anything I've had before. I was really thirsty though, and I'm thinking that drink is what pissed my stomach off. ;-0(

I need to shower and get stuff ready so I'm all set for work tomorrow. DJ seemed to think that all 3 of our new people start today. If so, that's cool. I hope I get along with them all. Mark & I will be voting after work, and then I need to get some groceries. I'd like to watch the new Torchwood, and I might have to if the reflux thing doesn't stop soon.

It took me forever to get to sleep this morning, and then Mollie woke me up with a phone call, asking for a ride to the polls, which I'd offered to do in a message I left her. She said she'd find a ride with someone from work (which she did) so that all worked out. I got up and put my clothes in the dryer then went back to bed for a couple hours. Mark dropped me off at work, and the day went fine; I worked with Bryan, Pat, Bobby & Jeff. Nate & Bill stopped by... And the 3 new guys didn't come in until after I was gone, so I didn't get to see them. Actually, one of them found a higher paying job, and I won't be meeting him at all. I hope the other guys are cool.

Mark picked me up around 5:40, and we went and voted. I like the school where we vote, and everyone is very friendly there. Bryan said that the Triangle Foundation sent him something in the mail letting him know who the cool candidates were, and he & Chris voted accordingly. Mollie, Mark & I all voted the same way, I think; I know Mark & I did. It feels good knowing that we were all out there casting our votes; I hope they count for something.

We got some groceries after work. I should have gone to Meijer right off to get some stuff, but I'm so exhausted. I'll probably go later tonight.

In the last 11 hours or so I've gotten very little sleep. I watched some Trek. I ate and read. I checked up on the election, which seems to be going well; finally an election is going well. Hopefully this means some positive change is on the way. erg. I still haven't seen all the results. I'm so tired.

Work was fabulous on Thursday. Mark had caught a cold or something, and it was getting bad fast. I gave him some zinc lozenges the night before, and we went to Kroger after work to get more cold supplies. I tried to take a nap when I got home (though I was aching to read the new Star Trek fiction guide that had arrived on our door while I'd been at work), but my cousin Joy called, which didn't bother me at all. We had a great conversation, and then I was awake, so I read the book after all. This helped prevent me from getting much sleep, AGAIN.

Today, when I woke up for work, I felt horrible. Mark had apparently called into work, but had decided he was going to go in. I felt far worse than I excpeted to, and I was worried that I might have caught his sickness. I knew that work would probably be really slow today, and that if I went I might spend the day just standing around, and have passed on Mark's symptoms for no good reason. I called in, and they said they were dead, and they would be fine without me. This allowed me to get some sleep; less than I had expected, but enough so that I can function. I don't think I have Mark's illness now, which is a HUGE relief, though I may yet catch it.

So Bryan's birthday is Sunday. I told him I didn't know what to give him this year, and he told me a big hug would be fine; maybe that's what he'll get as I'm stumped. Mollie's birthday is on Monday. I know what I want to get her, and have known for sometime, but haven't yet had all the right stuff in line to get it. She's coming over in a little while to watch Nip/Tuck, Desperate Housewives, and just hang out in general.

I'm going to eat and get ready, I guess. And I want to make another mashup cd for Joy. ;-0)
