Typhoid Day 3 (and other stuff)

Last week Scott and I went to see the travel clinic nurse to get our vaccines. We elected to take the oral version of the typhoid vaccine to cover five years instead of the injectable (is that a word?) version of the same vaccine. He took his 4 doses last week, but because I was starting (and finishing) a cold last week, I chose to wait until this week to start mine. Today is day 3. We both took each dose of the "vaccine in a capsule" at night to sleep through any nausea that might occur. The nurse indicated that the nausea would be the worst (oh yea and the potential rash that might appear???) but if you took the pill at night you would sleep through the worst of it. It's 10pm and I took the capsule about an hour ago.... uh oh!

On another note.... a friend of ours who lives in the great swing state of Pennsylvania (can we get a shout out!) had asked a question about our dog, Shadow. She was wondering if we are taking her with us or what is her plan. Well.... we really don't know what we are going to do with her. She is definitely not taking the trip with us, as they eat everything on four legs, fragrant beef anyone (ouch!). We have had a couple of family members "volunteer" to keep her for the two years that we will be abroad, but we are still unsure of what her address will be.

She is a sweet dog (Boxer, age 6) and very well behaved.  She does like to sleep on the couch and as you see from the picture she has to have a warm blankie for cold Atlanta fall mornings (insert laugh here!).  This kind of sounds like the dating game for dogs......  

On yet another side note.....  Tuesday is November 4th.  If you have not voted yet (we did last week ~ in Georgia we could early vote), please make it a point to go out on Tuesday.  It is your civic duty as an American!
