The One With Taxes
First and foremost, Kira is doing better. She has a UTI (as suspected) and is on antibiotics for it. She was really dehydrated, but after the fluids they gave her, she perked right up and was fine. They ran tests on her kidneys and liver and they all turned out okay, so they think she has some lingering kennel cough coupled with the UTI. None of that really explains the vomiting, but I'm giving her the meds twice a day and she hasn't had any big issues since.
We got our taxes done today, and it went well. It's always confusing with us because we actually file three seperate times and we're exempt from most taxing (military thing). The people get confused every year and take forever to figure it all out, but whatever.. only one more year to deal with that. In the end, we got a little over $4000 back, about $200 less then last year, but we also made $10K less in 2007 then 2006. Yay for being poor. I also gave my two week notice to my boss.. I emailed her two days ago and haven't heard back from her yet which means I'll have to call her this week and make sure she knows I'm not going to be there after March 3rd or so.
Also, we bought me a new computer this weekend. It's pretty sweet, and definitely the best computer I've ever had (not that that takes much). It's a quad core with a decent graphics card (could be upgraded), 3gb of RAM, blah blah. Also got a 20" widescreen monitor so I'm rocking duel monitors, which is.. pretty nice but a little difficult to get used to. We also finally fixed Scott's computer and also bought a 500gb external harddrive incase one of our computers go down again. I have at least 3000 photos that I'd lose, plus documents and music files and all kinds of things.
Things are going well. It's only a month or so until we move, but I'm enjoying this calm before the storm.
