Shortly after the last entry I left Nick a voicemail, which he
liked. We traded some texts. His family was in town this
weekend, and he's got finals this week so he's a bit busy.

I shaved and showered and got Mark to his doctor's
appointment. I stayed in the car and called people: Travis,
Jennifer, Amber, Janice. Travis and Jennifer didn't answer
though I left them both voicemails. Amber answered but
she was at work and couldn't talk long. Janice sounded
exhausted...and she is. Apparently Jerry's father died
recently, which I didn't know because I have her Facebook
posts blocked from view. I did that last year when she was
posting a lot of anti-abortion stuff which offends me, but I
told her I blocked those posts and that if she wanted me
to know something to message me about it, but she
assumed that I'd recinded that situation because I'd
commented on something she posted - but only because I
saw her post on a friend's page and thought to visit hers
to see what was up at the time. Anyways, she's super
stressed out - and it shows, even in her voice. I guess Dad
wants to hang out with us and she's hoping that I'll hang
out with him on my own as she's being pulled in a million
different directions at once.

Later, still waiting for Mark I took some pictures of myself.
Mark returned to the car. He was sad because his back
problems have returned. He was hoping he had a kidney
stone - which I told him would have been horribly painful,
but you know, he wanted it to be something other than
this recurring back trouble that he's had since he fell on
the ice several years ago...because it's been awhile since it
hurt and the idea of something that comes back again and
again is worse for him than something that could
potentially be over in a week or two. I tried to cheer him
up.

We went to Meijer but they didn't have what we needed so
we went to CVS, then Little Caesars, then Mark's bank.
Mark deposited his big tax return check. He's going to use
the money to buy new wheels for the car (which will
hopefully help us out because the car is always getting flat
tires and the wheels will be a version that aren't damaged
when you get a flat) - then he's gonna take whatever's left
and put half of that in the bank for savings, then he's
gonna split whatever is left with me.

Still no word on my benefits and what's going on there.
Really getting stressed about that, though I'm trying hard
not to be.

I took more pictures later. Mark started helping me with a
project, and then again went to eat and never came back
as he said he would (just like the night before) - but I was
asleep and maybe he just didn't want to wake me. I think I
slept from about 11pm-5:30am. I started downloading
last night's glee and reading the news. I read some Doctor
Who news but could see that it was getting into spoilers
that I'm trying to avoid so I shut that down. Then I wrote
this.
