Today

I voted for Obama. How bout you, did you vote? I sure hope so. I think it's really important this time around.

My computer stopped working on Saturday. And then it worked when I turned it on this morning. Whatever. I think we're buying the new one this weekend- Mike and I both get paid on Friday, so it should work out. The opened up a Mac store in the Mall of Louisiana in Baton Rouge, so I think I'll go there- I called Best Buy to see if they sold Apple Care protection if I buy my computer there, and they said they only sold the Geek Squad protection thingy. I'm sorry, but if I have a problem with my new computer, I'm not always 100% confident that the Geek Squad knows how to fix my problem. And even if they do, they just mail it out to Apple and charge you like $4-500 bucks minimum. So I think it's probably worth it to drive the extra hour to Baton Rouge to get my new computer.

Started my new department at AT&T yesterday- Transfer of Service. Basically when someone wants to get their name and social security off of a particular line/phone number and let someone else take financial responsibility of it. I think I'll like it, it will be a little tedious and repetitive, but it sounds better to me than the general queue. I'm training today, and I think I'll take my first ToS calls either today or tomorrow. 

I am loving that it's cooling down outside now. It's not what I would consider "cold" except sometimes at night it gets into the 50's, but it's brisk and less humid, so it's more refreshing than the normal Louisiana weather.

And last but not least, Buddy is almost officially done with his heartworm treatment-  He will have finished his 31 days after his second shot treatment on November 16th, and then we can play with him again!! For those of you who don't know, he got heartworms, and we had to take him to the vet to get some nasty poisonous shots, and he can't be too active for 31 days after the shots because their job is to break up the heartworms and send them through his bloodstream- if he gets too worked up, his blood will clot and he could get really sick and die. So unfortunately Buddy has been annoyed with me because I won't take him for long walks or play with him at home- But everything will go back to normal again soon. Poor guy has been kept "mellow" since the beginning of September! Yeah, try keeping a Jack Russell mix breed mellow for 2 months! It's not easy! 

Mike said he may be home this weekend for weather- I hope so! He has called me twice since he left, and I missed them both. We have some friends driving into town this weekend to hang out, so I hope he is home for that. We will be celebrating my birthday, woohoo!
