Recent Purchases

I really wanted to go shopping on Black Friday, but since I didn't get off of work until 7am, I just didn't see the point. Most of the stores around here opened at 5 or 5:30, so I shopped online instead. The only items I really wanted were a new monitor for the computer and a treadmill ~ both of which were gloriously on sale! The monitor could only be bought in-store, so I missed out on that one, but I did buy the treadmill online. And it was the very same one I had tried out in the store a few weeks ago, so I knew all about the performance and other specs on it without having to fight the crowds. And it was free shipping! We did eventually get a new monitor on sale, but it wasn't as much fun as it would've been buying it on that Friday. I also got a new pair of cheapy plastic clogs. They are perfect for running outside to stand and watch Shannon rolling on the grass when she should be peeing.

Other mildly interesting world events:
* I have my final speech tomorrow night (yea!) and then next week are both of my finals. I'm really glad this speech class is coming to a close. It's just been very taxing.
* I have jury duty tomorrow. This will be my first time. I don't actually mind "jurying", but I do think it should be voluntary, not mandatory. It's gonna be kind've a bitch having to adjust my sleep schedule, but then any time not at work is time well spent as far as I'm concerned.
* During my last routine mammogram, the doctor found "suspicious calcifications" in my right breast. So now I need to go to a specialist who will re-read my films and probably take a biopsy. I'm hoping I can get an appointment with her before the holidays so that she can determine it's nothing and Vic can stop worrying non-stop. I'm trying to think positive about the whole thing. There's nothing to worry about until there's something to worry about.

That's it. Wish me luck at jury duty!
