fixing up the house & other general stuff...

Yesterday I went to Grand Rapids for a therapy (t(x)) and then met Steve. His roommates were having a party and I'd accepted an invite to go. We went to eat at a really yummy italian place. He lives very close to where I go for t(x) which is kewl to know. The party was ok. One lesbian amidst a bunch of drag queens.... Oh and of course there were screaming children. (The roommate's daughter has 4 kids. Thankfully only 2 were there.) Yeah, wasn't really thrilled by the few straight people there. So I hung out and discussed drag. I also met JJ a guy who really likes Steve. Nice guy. Little clingy but nice. We'll see if/how that goes. I got a sore throat as the night got later and today I'm at the beginning of a cold. Personally, I don't care what they say, I think I got the dog's cold. So my head a bit full, my throat is sore, and I'm thinking about a nap before heading over to Jim/Nikki's for D&D. Jim also came by and trimmed my trees today. Wasn't expecting that! Wow. I also went fence searching today. I've decided that we need a fenced/kennel area for the dog. She really needs to be outside. Poor thing has to potty 3x a day and there's just no way I can accomodate that... So I went to True Value, Carters, TSC, & Home Depot. Unfortunately all I need is about 15-20 feet of fensing... and it's only sold in 50 ft. HD had the cheapest door while TSC had slightly cheaper fensing. I also need to find someone who has a "hole-digging" device for the one pole that I need. I think this will work, and we'll be able to leave the front yard "free" while have a medium sized kennel in the back. Erica's gonna come home to a few changes which is good.

Carrie is giving me an entertainment system and more silverware on Monday. Casey & I are gonna talk about paint/trim tomorrow, and maybe a little help with the fence. And Jim is gonna stop by sometime to look/help with the outlets that are a bit "hazardous."

I have a lot of work to do... yikes. But right now, I'm gonna go fight this cold with more sleep.
