The Past Couple Weeks

A quick update:

Sarah is absolutely loving her job.

Maggie was spayed, micro-chipped, and received her first rabies shot. I think the experience was more stressful for us than it was for her. She also chipped a canine tooth, which required another trip to the vet. The vet says her tooth is fine (she's going to lose it anyway), and since she was Maggie's foster mother, there was no charge for the visit. She will be traveling with us to Atlanta over the break. The parents have graciously allowed us to give this a try, so we'll see how Maggie deals with the scent of cat in the air.

School is going along quickly. I'm rapidly approaching the "oh-shit-it's-exam time already" stage. Though I don't think I'll be in any way laid back this time around, having a job already for next year certainly takes the pressure off.

In the future:

Sarah is traveling to Lexington this weekend to throw a baby shower for her friend Elizabeth, who is expecting in January. I will be remaining at home to study and spend some quality time with my favorite dog. I hope Maggie has some insights into the Earned Income Tax Credit that she could share with me.
