I was late for work on Tuesday. My stomach was doing something; I still don't know what, but I wanted to make sure I was good before going to work, and everything eventually calmed down. Jeremy called me from Encore (with Kim in the background) - telling me that Kim wanted him to call and ask about the pictures! lol. I would have loved to talk to them both more, but I had to get to work, fast. Work was slow, but fun, with Bryan, Bill, Joe & Jeff. I started the 3rd Season of Smallville on my break, and was happy to see that it was an improvement over the semi-lame 2nd season finale. I rented the first 3 discs of season 3 before picking up Mark.

On the way to pick up Mark there was a phone call that I didn't answer because my cell was in the bottom of my bag. When I got to Mark's work I checked my voicemail, and I had 7 messages. Apparently when I was in Milan on Monday, and out of range, I'd gotten several messages, and then another one just now. Some of them were from Carrie, who had sent me some e-mail messages wondering why we haven't talked lately, but I wasn't mad at her; just tired when I got the e-mails. I called and left her a message letting her know things were cool. The call I missed while driving was from Chad, who had seen me turning on to Liberty! It's weird, because when I was turning onto Liberty, my friend James was crossing the street, and I was trying to get his attention, but he didn't see me; while at the exact same time, someone else had spotted me and I didn't see them. lol I called him back but got his voicemail, and left him a message.

Mark needed to go to Meijer. We're over budget. I didn't even get any budget money this week, as I "owed" Mark $250.00, and gave him $100.00. This is money that I never would have needed to pay, if I owned my own car. Oh wait, I do. Only I don't. It's in title only. Something Mark assured me wasn't true, until push came to shove. But enough about that; I don't like to think about it as it just pisses me off, and makes me grumpy. But obviously it still bothers me; maybe I need to write another poem. lol

When we got home, I scanned some more pictures until I was tired (around 10pm), then slept until 3am. I scanned more pictures, but started posting them as I finished different locations. I'm actually really proud of the way I handled all this work; I felt very organized. I did finish the page and the cd for Kim, but only after about 15 hours of mind numbingly tedious work. I was happy with the results, but exhausted from the effort. You can see the finished (for now) page here; what a difference a week makes. I tried to go to sleep, but the damned Heidi dog wouldn't allow it. It sucked. But I got my 2nd wind, and decided to head to Encore; thinking that Mark would be getting Heidi on his lunch, and I'd have a quiet bed to return to when I got home.

I walked to Encore, which was fun, and it was so gratifying to hear the joy in Kim's voice as she talked about finally finding pieces of herself to love, that have been absent from her for so long! That made all the hours, and cash worth it; that and getting to know her at all made it all worth while. She had seen some of the pix that I had posted, and Jeremy had printed up the others for her (awwww!). Jeremy eventually came to the front of the store, and this was the first I'd seen of him since driving away from his house on Monday, and the sparkage was overwhelming. He had this wicked smile, and this glow, and I know I was smiling, and Kim made some comment about all this, but then I was hugging him so hard that it just kind of drowned everything else out.

I eventually walked Jeremy over to WRAP where there was a little kissing and a lot of talking and looking and other wonderful things. Sam White showed up later, but Jeremy had forgotten the strangeness of this moment. We went to the basement, Jeremy & I...and I retold him that I had gone out with Sam back in January, but that he'd gotten a little weird afterwards & I had to call it quits. We had a really good date, with some great conversation, and some nice kissing at the end...I even wrote him a poem, but before we could go out a 2nd time he started going on about how I was his boyfriend (after 1 date), and that September was going to be a great month for us; it just creeped me out.

I pulled up a chair and there was still more conversation. I love hanging out with Jeremy. We have a lot in commmon, and there are parts of our lives that we talk about that usually freak people out, but we don't get freaked about it because we've both experienced it; it's really refreshing. I love hearing about his past, and his present. And this may sound weird, but I like to hear about Danny; how they met and happy times. Today I learned that Danny doesn't like to be called Dan, and that Jeremy doesn't like to be called Jerry. lol.

Oh, and I let Jeremy borrow the first 2 seasons of DS9. He asked me if this was a show that I wanted him to watch with me, and I actually thought it would be cool if he watched it on his own, or with Danny, as Danny is a huge Trek fan. There are 2 episodes that I had once mentioned wanting to see with him ("The Visitor" & "Rejoined") but if he's going to start from the beginning, there isn't as much of a point to that. I had wanted to see those with him, so he could see how amazing the show is. I could still watch those with him later. If he likes the show, that's great, and if he doesn't, it's not a big deal. But either way, there are some fantastic episodes that I hope he gets to see. First season episodes I love include "Emissary, Parts I & II", "Dax", "Progress", "Duet" (an all time favorite of mine), & "In The Hands of the Prophets". "Past Prologue" is also fun with Lursa & B'Etor, and the introduction of Garak! ;-0) Ok, I'll stop rambling about Trek now.

So it was a little after 3pm, and Jeremy had a client at 3:30pm. I was getting hungry, and the thought of walking back to the condo was less appealing than it had been earlier, and I asked Jeremy if he would mind giving me a ride home. He didn't mind, and after getting to the condo, and calming down Heidi (who was still at the condo), and both of us using the bathroom, there was more kissing / wanting / lusting / kissing. lol I really, really wanted him to stay, but I knew he had to go.

I tried to sleep (again) after he left; fearing that eating would result in major acid, having not slept. Heidi again refused to allow this. I was beyond annoyed. Mark eventually arrived home, around 7pm; walked the dog, and took care of her. I got a message from Kim asking for help getting her pix off the disc I gave her. I let Mark handle this, but she'd figured it out on her own. We both got to talk to her, and we both got to express how happy we were that she was happy.

Mark called work and he's taking the dog in with him tomorrow. I have a dentist appointment at 9am. It will probably be a longer appointment than I'm used to; they're replacing two of my fillings; this will be my last dentist appointment of the year, save a possible cleaning in November. I can't eat before going or my acid will suck beyond the telling of it. But at least I know I'll be able to sleep afterwards. It would be nice if I could Jeremy too, though I don't know if that's possible.

I got a myspace message from Jason Brooks; an old friend of mine. He wants to hang out sometime soon, which sounds like a lot of fun. I hope we can work that out. I'm also still trying to find the time to see Catherine and her family. So much to do!!! Hopefully everything works out with everybody.
