I drove us to Toledo where we had a fun visit with Mark's mother (Maria), his brother (Marcus), his sister-in-law (Julie), & his nephews (Nick & Ethan). A fun time was had by all. After that we came home. I took some prilosec; took a shower. I had a snack. We stopped to get me some food on the way to his step-sister Terry's house. There we met her boyfriend/husband(?) Chris, Chris's daughter (Sam), and Chris's dog (Toby), and Terry's nearly 2 year old grand-daughter McKayla (who loved me). Euchre and conversation - all of it good. But I was so beyond exhausted. We stopped at Meijer on the way home.

I'm tired. My back is killing me. I'm hungry.

I did almost nothing on Sunday. I read. I chatted.

17 years ago, on that Sunday, I went to church wearing leather pants and a white silk shirt.

I was staying in a hospital at the time and had a pass to spend the day with my family.

The previous night I'd seen Basic Instinct in theaters with my sister and her boyfriend Jerry. I also bought a disc man and a Metallica cd. The day before that... Well, I could go on.

I didn't spend all weekend weeping, or screwing my memories away. So...that's progress.

Monday was odd. I couldn't sleep. When I felt that I could sleep, I couldn't because I needed to stay up to wake Mark up for work (as he refused to set his alarm clock). Then after he left I found it hard to get to sleep again. I went to sleep around 4pm and woke up at 6pm. I stayed up for 2 hours then went back to bed and woke up at 2:30am. I thought it was around 10pm the previous night and was trying to figure out what I should wear to the bar, only to find out the bar was already closed. lol.

Shortly after that I jumped on the Trek boards which was fun. I'm really enjoying the reading of the Robotech books, and I found another Robotech book fan online, which is rare. Later I read that Andy Hallett, who played Lorne on Angel had passed away at 33. I went to write this in my blog but it wasn't working. Later I found that the internet was working, but not my blog so I woke Mark so he could fix the emergency. Around this time, this guy Michael that I have a date set up with for Saturday texted me. And I got a headache. I texted him back, and later we spoke on the phone for a few hours I think. It was nice. It was easy to talk to him. He says he'd like to see me today, but I told him it depended on when I slept and if I was able to get rid of my headache.

I just ate and took my meds. They're starting to work. Hopefully the headache goes and I can get some sleep later. That would be nice.

It's sad that Andy died. 33 years old. I always assumed he was older than me for some reason. He was born August 4, 1975; almost a year younger than me (my birthday is the 12th). He died on Sunday, March 29. You can read about him here.
