I went to sleep around 8:30pm Thursday night, with the instruction that if I woke up by midnight I was to call Michael and he would join me. But in the mean time, he had watced 2 episodes of Sarah Jane ("Secrets of the Stars") and gotten several messages I'd left him recently on several of his accounts - inspiring him to leave his viewing behind and join me in bed at 9:30, which surpised the hell out of me, waking up with a headache, at which point Michael went right to sleep, snoring in my ear, with me unable to sleep for the pounding in my head. Eventually I took some midrin and did get some sleep; later making love with Michael, watching "The Next Doctor",and getting still more sleep, before getting up around 6am.

Mark & I went to get the H1N1 vaccine & some groceries from Kroger around 10:45am. Michael was set to leave the condo for work around noon, so I didn't expect to see him. We got LC on the way home, and Michael ended up leaving, but taking a personal day to save man hours and get some stuff done today (his final HIV test / oil change for the car / bill payments). After eating I got ready and Michael picked me up so I could go with him.

We went and got the HIV test at his doc's office, though he only went to the lab. We then had the oil changed, which took 45 minutes. In that time I spoke to my grandmother, who informed me that my father had spoken to her 4 days before, and is staying in some kind of home near or on Ecorse Road, that he has a broken bone, having apparently been hit by a car! There were no more details. I shared this news with Janice, who gave me some tips for searching out his location. Jordan also talked to me about outing himself to an interviewer for gay rights issue. Cool.

Michael (at my request) took me to the Plymouth cemetery (Riverside?) where he had cheated on me on September 5th, while I had attended a game night with my friends, which he had been invited to. He showed me the spot. It did bring some emotions up, that hit me at random throughout the day, but they weren't overwhelming, and I was glad to have seen the spot, as it took away some of it's power over me.

Later, we got some food, and went to pick up David, who we took to 7 11 to get his bill money, then Borders so he could get Fight Club, while I got the 2nd Abarat book (for just over $8.00!), then to Sam's Club so David could get groceries, only he didn't get anything. We headed back to their apartment to do laundry (at their laundramat type building), which was ok, yet hard on me as my belly was a bit upset & I was growing ever more tired...plus I kept thinking about my dad, and also randomly of Michael's indiscretion - which is complicated by the fact that it sometimes, randomly, turns me on - while simultaniously hurting me deeply. While doing laundry we watched 3 Sarah Jane episodes ("Marker of the Berserker, Parts I & II", "The Temptation of Sarah Jane Smith, Part I"), before going back to the apartment, and then going back to my place.

We watched the next Sarah Jane, the 2 mini-episodes of the season, and started "Enemy of the Bane", when I went to sleep. I woke during the episode and pointed something out to Michael, at which point he shut off the episode, claiming to have drifted off a few times, and that he had his mind on other things.

I slept until around 6am. Got up. Had a snack. Worked our farms. Read my e-mail. Watched Michael sleeping (he's so beautiful), updated some stuff and wrote this. I should send a message to my Aunt Debbie about my dad's condition, but maybe I should try to find him first; see if I can get more info? We'll see.

Michael has to get up for a meeting with one of his managers at 10am. He might be transferring to a different Arby's, but it's not a sure thing yet. It's just a possible option. I hope that meeting goes well. He's planning on heading home after that to shower / change, and then join me for another night. ;-0)

He has about 12 / 13 days to finish catching up on the Whoniverse if he wants to watch the new specials with me as I see them. He has 22 episodes left, but at the rate he's watching I'm sure he'll have them done. In the last 2 days he's managed to watch:

31x01 Day of the Clown I
31x02 Day of the Clown II
31x03 Secrets of the Stars I
31x04 Secrets of the Stars II
31x05 The Next Doctor
31x06 Mark of the Berserker I
31x07 Mark of the Berserker II
31x08 The Temptation of Sarah Jane Smith I
31x09 The Temptation of Sarah Jane Smith II
31x10 Music of the Spheres
31x11 From Raxacoricofallapatorius with Love

Watching Season 2 of Sarah Jane as part of a cohesive Season 31 of the Whoniverse, I'm finding that I enjoy it far more than I did when it first aired. My only pet peeve about Sarah Jane is it's weak (IMO) 3rd Season finale - which is also part of Season 31 of the Whoniverse. This may be offset by inserting another episode at a later date (between "The Waters of Mars" & "The End of Time, Part I", or the content of the closing Doctor Who Specials.

I downloaded the 2 latest Dollhouse episodes. I kind of want to watch more of this season, but I think it will be more satisfying until I have the remaining 5 episodes, the last of which airs January 22nd, just as Caprica begins. ;-0)
