Mark is on vacation. Work on Sunday night, was busy but fun. I went to Necto Friday & Monday nights; both fun times. I cleaned the condo today, and I'm doing laundry now. I've been playing another game of Marvel Ultimate Alliance, with an all female team this time: Storm, Invisible Woman, Elektra & Ms. Marvel. I'm still reading the DS9 novel "Hollow Men". I've jumped ahead in my Doctor Who watching; starting fresh with the first appearance of the 3rd Doctor "Spearhead From Space", which I'm actually enjoying quite a lot.

In other news, Mollie got stabbed at work the other day, but she's ok!?! She's resting at the moment, but says she's fine.

I'm resting myself. I've had the last 2 days off, and I have the next 2 off as well. I've been concentrating on relaxing if that makes any sense. My acid reflux was overwhelming the last few weeks, but this week it's a lot better. This makes me happier than I could probably express here.

My life is kind of a deadly blur lately. It's hard for me to express. And probably better if I don't.

I've started watching 2 new shows. I started watching The Closer, which is in it's 3rd Season. I also started watching Damages, which has only just begun it's first 13 episode season. I'm really enjoying these programs.

I read the new Buffy comic yesterday. I need to reread it. It was cool, but not what I expected, as I hoped that it would have been about a different character. Oh, well. There's still time for that story to come to light. And there was news that there will apparently be an Angel Season 6 comic, but since it's not owned by Darkhorse, I'm thinking that crossovers aren't very likely, which sucks.

I have to get my drivers licence renewed this week; probably do it today. I want to go to Borders and see if they have Starburst magazine. It's a foreign magazine, that I've seen there sometimes; the newist issue has news of Torchwood Season 2. I need to go to the bank too. And I should go to the Party Store and see about maybe getting some decorations for Saturday.

Bryan & Chris came over Friday night and played euchre with me and Mark (who made it home safely from his vacation). We also just talked and hung out, and it was nice. Chris finished reading Harry Potter 7 yesterday, and we talked about that. She's currently watching the first Cybermen two-parter of the new Doctor Who. So far her favorite episode is "The Girl In The Fireplace", which is my favorite episode also, and the it's the episode I showed Mollie and Mark to show them what I'd gotten hooked on - and they were NOT impressed. Thankfully, they later got hooked on the show.

Mollie should be home on Friday. I'll see her Saturday for sure. And Sunday we're all going to see Harry Potter 5 (Mollie, Karen, Bryan, Chris, some more friends and family, me, and I should ask Adam & Carrie to go too). Mollie is staying with Karen for a week, and then staying here for a week. I don't work again until after she heads back to Hell.

I didn't get to do any of the stuff that I planned to do yesterday. It bummed me out. On top of that I got no sleep because of my acid reflux. I did finish watching the first season of The Closer, which was pretty much the highlight of my day, as after that I got loads of bad news from Mark about how depressed he is, and how much he hates his life, and how I have to appear in court (something I hoped I'd never have to do again), and everything just felt so dire and oprresive. Add to this that I have not been the happiest camper the last month or so, and you can see how this was not a fun time. Oh, and my birthday party / welcome home Mollie party is not very well planned, and I've got next to no time to get it ready.

Now. After all that I got 8 hours of sleep. You may think that's an easy fix that I could have done ages ago, but the sad truth is that often, my body simply won't allow it. In this case I was lucky. Very lucky. And when I woke up things didn't feel AS bad. I started working on some stuff for Bryan & Chris, Pat & Cara. I read the media news. I read the gay news. I read all the news. I sent some e-mails. I posted about the party on myspace.

After Mark left for work, I started cleaning his room. His room is a huge mess, and it's mostly NOT his fault. He has several businesses that have run away with him, and he has next to zero energy because of this random pain thing that no doctor has properly taken care of. So...I'm doing that for him, or I'm starting to. I'm putting all the papers in a stack for him to sort through, and putting all his laundry downstairs for him to wash. I'm throwing away all the advertisements & shit. I'm doing this to help relieve his stress, which will relieve some of my stress. I also have to help him out with some bitserve stuff, and I have to get him to do his taxes, which he hasn't done in 3 years. When that's all taken care of, I know that he will be a happier person, and then all I'll have to worry about are MY problems.

I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow to address some of those problems.

I have a very busy day ahead of me to sort out some others. I'll try to write again later.

Mark's on his way to get me. More good news. Mark thought he had something like 100 days of paid vacation coming to him, and he was asking about it at work, as he thought he'd take some time off to spend with Mollie while she's here. I also thought this would be a great time to do his tax work, as there's a lot to sort through, only he apparently "lost" those paid vaction days by not using them earlier in the year - which is news to Mark, and news to me. He lost over 100 paid vacation days, and no one warned him, or informed him this was going to happen. I'm constantly reminded why I don't work where he does, and I'm grateful for that, but it sucks that Mark has to work there for now. They don't respect him. He's worked there for 5 years I think, and when he started he was working out of this guy's basement and he's helped built that company and they just walk all over him. I'm so pissed right now. I just...

There's too much shit going on right now. I wish it would just stop for a little while. Just a little while.

I was wrong. Mark didn't lose 100 days of paid vaction. lol He lost over 100 HOURS. Which makes more sense, but still that's over a week of money that he just lost without even knowing it. And the thing is, he's put off taking those days, because he's given such a hard time anytime he misses work because they've been so understaffed! His working situation, in my humble opinion, sucks. And I don't know what the fuck is wrong with these guys.

I'm 33 years old today. If that's supposed to mean anything, it's lost on me, as I've been thinking of myself as 33 for months now. lol I had the Mollie / Adam / Jason party last night. The guests included Bryan, Chris, Robert, Perris, Mike, Pat, Cara, Mollie, Karen, Carrie, Adam, Sean, Steve, Jeremy, Christine, Mark & I. It was a lot of fun. It was also very laid back; very low key; very surreal. I've been going to bed very early, and had intended to take a nap before the party but never had the time - so I was extremely tired through most of the events, but it was worth it to see so many friends in one spot, and just hear them having so much fun. I hope everyone had a good time, and that my less than stellar energy level didn't spoil anything, but I'm pretty sure it was ok.

I'm very grateful to all those who attended my party / gathering / thing, or who wanted to, or who stayed away because they annoy me. lol So...to all of you: THANK YOU.

A group of us is going to see Harry Potter 5 today. Many of us have already seen it, but that's cool. My Sirius Black / Bellatrix Lestrange poster was a hit at the party. And I had a batch of Harry Potter candy that I never got around to giving Mollie, so there was much fun watching her torment the other party goers with the disturbing concoctions.

In other good news. I was supposed to appear in court this week, for a supposed violation (running a stop sign), but my lawyer guy is appearing for me, which cheers me up endlessly. He also says that he deals with these tickets all the time, and that almost always he gets them changed to parking tickets, which means a fine, but that our insurance won't go up, which would be great. I find that stuff out on Wednesday morning.

I'm thinking about doing some volunteer work at HARC (the HIV/AIDS Resource Center. It could be very cool. Plus I love the people that work there, and they seem to like me, which for me, is always important if I'm going to work somewhere. Plus it would be good for me to do something of that nature that really helps people beyond getting a webpage online, or picking some great movies for them. lol It's not a definite thing, but it's something that's in the back of my mind.

I've got a horrible headache today. The really crappy thing about having TMJ, is that if I laugh too much or I talk too much, smile too much, give head too much or just have too much fun at all I get a migraine. Sadly, my migrain meds have been discontinued, and I've yet to get in to see my doctor to get a new perscription, which annoys me, and also has be a bit worried about what this new medication will be. I'd been taking the previous medication (which worked, and I was comfortable with) for 17 years. I'm making an appointment tomorrow morning to have that taken care of.

I saw a new doctor for my acid reflux / IBS problems, and he was really fun. Only a year older than me, recently divorced, doesn't own a dvd player, and he's the guy who performed my endoscopy last year. None of that means much really, that's just stuff I know. (lol Very random, but cut me some slack, as I'm trying to use Motrin to kill the pain that only controlled substances have had any luck with in the past.) He, and another guy, who I know from his frequent visits to Hollywood Video, set up some more tests to rule out some other stuff, and to give them more information. I'm all about doing this stuff, if it will help me. They also recommended some things, which I'm trying out. My last doctor was just a nightmare, and these guys seem to be working out a lot better already, and they're actually within walking distance of our condo, so that rocks. I have upcoming appointments on September 6, September 14, and September 27. The first two appointments will be for tests, lasting 4 hours each (doesn't sound like fun, but any information gathered will be good). The final appointment is my followup appointment to see where we stand, and how we're doing. Just knowing that we're doing these things makes me feel a lot better, and clears up some of the bad feelings I'd had about all this lately.

I have more I could write about, but I want to get away from the monitor before it burns a hole in my brain.

I tested negative to HIV last Wednesday. I got my ticket ruduced to a parking ticket. Mollie's visiting us; she's downstairs with Mark. Corey stopped by on Sunday (and stayed the night. We all played a wide assortment of games. We played Euchre, Poker, Trouble, Aliens Vs. Predator & Diablo II. It was lots of fun. I fooled around with Corey a bit, but mostly it was just great to fall asleep with him beside me; I slept really well. Mollie is here until Thursday morning. I'm off until Saturday (though I should really request Sunday off as it's my parents' 25'th wedding anniversary. Blah.

Mark's getting on my nerves. He's mostly being cool...unless he plays a game. In Aliens vs. Predator, I was playing an Alien, and he was a soldier, and he said the game wasn't fair because I moved too fast. Then he was an Alien, and he was mad that he could kill me as an Alien, because I was an Alien too...so I switched to being a Predator - then he said it wasn't fair because I had a bunch of weapons. Today we played some more, and accused Mollie & I of cheating; said we were camping out in spots and just shooting him, when that wasn't he case at all. And when Corey, Mark & I were playing Diablo II, he somehow lost his sword, and then said that one of us MUST HAVE picked it up!?! Like...why would we do that? It's just been one thing after another, which sucks, because I really enjoy playing the games, but then he's constantly yelling at me; calling me a cheater. There were a few other times, when he was bitching about stuff, but to explain to him that I'm not cheating would ruin my whole strategy, and how is that fun? In one of the games he was killing me a lot, and we were having fun, but then shortly after that was when Mollie & I were accused of 'camping'. It's a sore subject for me at the moment.

I only have about 23 pages left in the New Frontier book I'm reading, and then I'm not sure what book I'll read next.

I have a headache.

I'm fine. I just wanted anyone who reads this blog to know that. I just haven't felt like updating lately. And for the record, Mark isn't always a dick. He's often times the only person who can keep me from going completely insane. lol

I'm back at work. I might have my new camera by the end of September. I've got new headache meds, which may be good..or not so much. We'll see. I have appointments to help out with my stomach woes, which will hopefully lead to something positive.

Oh. I just found out an old pal of mine has a dungeon! lol. We're talking about me taking some pictures there, because that would be fun for my website ;-0)

blah.
