Happy Thursday- ROCKTOBER (sigh) 8th, 2009!!



Happy Thursday! It's actually my FRIDAY for the work week as it's my weekend off. I'm taking Columbus Day off (Monday) as well. Only because a co worker needs next Thursday off and she is working for me Monday.

I'm going to a retina specialist Friday afternoon to discuss a hemorrhage in the back of my left eye. I'm not exactly sure how I got it or if the damage is permanent; but it HAS made reading stuff and working a heck of a lot more of a challenge. I'm also going to my diabetes doctor later that afternoon.

I am REALLY loving my new Blackberry phone. I can now manage my bank accounts and my fantasy football/baseball teams. I am a 7 year old with a new toy. Since my phone is 'wi-fi' enabled, whenever I'm at home or at ANY place with wireless internet, I can log into it and make all the calls I want for free- NOT counting against my monthly minutes restriction. So the extra $24/month the 'Blackberry Plan' will cost me is now enabling me to shave $30 off my bill; by reducing my monthly minute allotment. PLUS it really picks up much better than my 'welfare' 2005 low-end motorola.

It's kinda slow today on the internet....
