Monday.

I worked on my collage. And slept. And ate. Eating takes a lot out of me, because the pills I have to take make me really tired, but that's so much better than the alternative. I also went to Meijer & Hollywood Video to give a disc to Pat, and rent a new video game with Mark. I've been playing a Ratchet & Clank game on the PS3; the graphics are amazing; I wish I could play it with Mollie.

Tuesday. Crazy. Couldn't sleep for the longest time, but eventually collapsed around 3pm. Slept until around 10pm. Then I talked to Mollie, Jordan & Michael on the phone. Jordan's in Grand Rapids. Michael & I didn't actually talk, but just kind of slipped by each other. Mollie and I had a nice chat about Doctor Who, Harry Potter, Psychotic Ice Cream Men & normal looking baby stealers, who just happen to be completely inept. Fun Times. ;-0)

Later I chatted on line. Took a nap. Read Harry Potter (which is slow going this time around). I also, finally, got to see the final 2 episodes of last season's "The Closer" which made me laugh a lot, and get misty eyed at least twice. Fun. Then I updated my website a bit, and preordered a lot of Doctor Who stuff. And then wrote this. I have no clue what I'm doing next.

I'm hopefully seeing Jordan tonight. Then I'm hanging out with this guy Steve on Thursday...though I'm hearing strange things and I'm not sure if that's going to work out. Open Mind. I'd like to see Michael sometime soon. It's hard to balance friends, isn't it? You want to see everybody, but then I lose track of people, and I don't want to...it just happens. This is what parties are for. :-0)

3 and 1/2 days until the Doctor Who Finale!

Wednesday night. Mark & I drove through a huge storm with painful rain, cart launching & tree splintering wind, and cell phone calls about power outages...all to pick up some drugs from the pharmacy, get some water, visit Michael, and pick up the new Who magazine (with a lovely interview with Billie Piper). Later, Jordan came over. We watched "Shelter". Then we went to Pizza House where I was able to eat Pepporoni Sticks and coffee without getting sick! Later we played video games with Mark and slept. It was a fun night. Jordan wants me to go see fireworks with him on Friday, but I'm not sure I can make it. We'll see.

Today I got a great surprise from my sister Janice. She watched the disc of Doctor Who that I gave her; enjoyed it, and has started watching it on tv! At least one of my nephews likes it too. I visited my grandma today, and I left the entire series on dvd for Janice there, as she'll be seeing my grandma later. I didn't give her Torchwood though, as rated R, all bisexual whoniverse stuff isn't what she signed on for. lol. Maybe she'll want to watch it later. Stranger things have happened! :-0)

I had some chocolate today. :-0)

I need to get some sleep. And read. And find some way to distract myself from the fact that there is now only about 2 days before the Doctor Who finale! I cancelled my plans with the Steve boy tonight. Perhaps I'll see Michael. I'm not sure. Blah.

I'm downloading the reconstructions of missing Doctor Who stories. I'll have all but one story ("The Daleks' Master Plan"), but I'll have parts of that story as well. The new episode airs in a little under 36 hours, though it will probably be several hours more before I get my greedy little hands on it. :-0)

I woke up with a terrible headache, but my Midrin has kicked it's ass, and now I feel fine.

I think I might start watching the Classic Doctor Who now, as I'll soon have all the stories. Maybe just an episode a day or something like that, which will actually take me 2 years and 95 days, or thereabouts, and by then I'll have NEW Who episodes to watch. :-0) Of course there will probably be days where I can't watch it at all, or when I'll watch more than one episode. But I'm just thinking (typing?) outload. lol

Work was fun yesterday. I got an extended visit from Jean & David Wiggin, which was a great time. I worked with DJ (who had some scary battle scars from a dog fight), Bryan (who wasn't feeling well), Kim, Amanda, Bill, & Brad. Ben also stopped by to visit, and I got an extra long hug. Nice. The movies that Chris, Erica & Michael rented Sunday night were returned while I was there, but whoever returned them didn't come in, so I didn't get to visit with them; it was probably Chris, as they were his movies.

So I'm happy I can eat chocolate again. But I don't think I want to eat that much of it, just because I can. I've never been a huge chocolate lover...and I don't think I want to become one. I am going to try having orange juice today! :-0)

Oh, so after work, and picking up Mark, and taking him to Kroger (where I bought the juice), and stopping by work again, and going home, and playing a game with Mark, I crashed into bed. I was also burning a bunch of discs because I'd filled my hard drive with Doctor Who. lol. But I passed out in my lovely bed. I woke up with messages and texts from Jordan. I him back. Jordan's last message said he was at Necto; the message having been sent a little before Midnight, and it was now 1am. I hustled to get ready and drove out to Necto, where I saw some friends, but no Jordan. I texted him a bunch of times, and called, but no contact was made. I came home kind of bummed, and showered, and then got some texts from Michael, which were happy moments, before I continued my downloads and went to sleep again, which was nice.

Now I'm awake, getting more Who for Mollie & me. About to have breakfast. Wish me luck.

Oh. And I've been pretty random about what I'm reading lately. I've started 3 books and haven't finished any of them. I'm trying to buckle down and get those books behind me.

My orange juice was delicious, and I had no troubles with it! Yay Me! :-0) It's so weird to be eating and drinking things that have been forbidden me for so very long. I never thought I'd be able to enjoy these types of things ever again, so each little thing is appreciated to the max! It's just really cool, and I'm happier than I've been in ages.

That said...I'm anxiously awaiting the finale of Doctor Who, which should air in a few hours. I'm hoping to have a copy of it by 7pm. That's what I'm hoping, but it could be sooner, and it could be later. I kind of want to go out and do something to distract myself.

I slept extremely well. Mark & I had some snuggle time. I talked to Michael about him maybe showing me around WCC campus, as now that I'm physically doing a lot better I'll probably be looking into going to school there. Mark & I started talking about money in relation to school. And I want a bicycle. Everything is so expensive now, but it's cheeper than gas in the long run, plus I can exercise now, and go out in public without the need for a quick getaway because my stomach is gonna freak out, at least that's what I'm hoping... Anyways, Michael works tonight, but he's said that he could show me around on Monday.

I'm also talking about going to Cedar Point on August 13. It was at Cedar Point, on August 13, 2001 that my delayed gastric emptying began. It was one of the worst days of my life and it has haunted me for years now. And I've never been back to the park since then, when I used to travel there at least once or twice a year, dating back to my middle school years. Going now would be a nice bookend to my experiences, though I wish Mollie could go with me. Michael likes roller coasters and Mark is interested. I was thinking of inviting Jennifer, and I left a message for my sister about it as well - perhaps it could be a family thing. Michael knows them all too. Maybe Bryan & Chris would like to go? ;-0)

If Michael doesn't get to see Doctor Who before he goes to work, perhaps I'll have him over tonight so that he can see it here, where I can hopefully be watching it a 2nd time. I tend to enjoy episodes better the 2nd time, and it would also be a nice bookend to have Michael view the finale here, as I got him hooked on it in the first place.

I'm a big fan of bookends in life. I always like to have some kind of meaningful reflection like that on cds and things I mix. They give me a feeling of closure; of completion. And that's very nice to have.

I should have the new Who in just under a half an hour. In the mean time, Mark & I have been watching Ratatouille, only the disc is messed up, so Mark is trying to clean it while I write this. It's good so far, but the minute Who is done, I'm gonna be back here at my computer watching the finale! lol

Wow. Sadness. Perfect ending for Rose & Jackie and the "Doctor"; I really feel like Rose's story is finished now, and if she ever returns that's fantastic, but if not I'll be ok. Great that Pete and baby Tony got a mention. Loved the silent but obvious "I Love You.", and the reference to the new Doctor being the way that the 9th was when he met Rose.

LOVED that they referenced Gwyneth / Gwen, with the Doctor & Rose smiling!!!

Nice set up for Torchwood Series 3, featuring Martha Jones & Mickey Smith!

K9!!!

I read somewhere...a rumor that the Doctor will be appearing in a Sarah Jane epsiode. I don't know if that's true, but if it is, this set that up nicely.

Loved Donna pushing Sarah Jane aside to hug Jack! Loved Sarah Jane & Rose exchanging words; a nice followup to "School Reunion" for those two, as well as for Mickey & Sarah Jane.

How sad is the ending for Donna Noble!?! It's worse than if she had actually died. It's terrible! I loved the Doctor telling the bitch mother to tell Donna how important she is every once in a while. Loved the grandfather, as always.

Loved that Dalek Caan betrayed the Daleks.

Loved the trailer for the Cybermen.

Loved when Martha met Rose!!!

Loved all the companions flying the TARDIS...

There was a lot to love in this episode. I didn't think it was perfect, but it accomplished a lot, which I wasn't sure they would be able to do. So many nice surprises. A nice closing story, before a long break.

We've got Sarah Jane returning in the fall, I believe. Then the Christmas Special. Then 4 Specials throughout 2009 for Doctor Who. A 5 episode mini-series for Torchwood. A possible 3rd Series of Sarah Jane. And a full Season of Who in 2010, with who knows how many other episodes of how many other shows...

I so need to sleep.

Oh. Loved Davros remembering Sarah Jane! Sarah Jane came off very well in this installment! lol ;-0)

Oh. And I loved the flashbacks to all the dead, dying, or believed dead (Jenny) characters! And how sad was it to see all the flashbacks of Donna as all that the Doctor gave and made of her was ripped away to save her life!!! He should have just let her die. The more I think about it, the more upset I become. But it's a wonderfully tragic fate, that really makes Professor River Song's reaction to her understandable! And I loved the Doctor/Donna Ood connection. I'd already enjoyed the "Your Song Must End Soon" thing in relation to River Song. I loved all the back references, actually. The only major down side of these episodes, is that it makes that horrid Dalek 2-parter last year, very important, and now they're required viewing. lol Oh well.
