Check Please

Ok, so that C3 update is coming soon, I promise. For now though, some random ramblings...

I don't know how many of you use checks regularly but I wrote two checks today for the first time in literally years. I have to be honest, I'm a big fan of the debit/ credit card and have never, since getting a checking account, carried checks. That said, right now my debit card is broken and I had to go to the doctors (more on that later) so Allie gave me her checkbook. The coolest things happened when I went to write out my check... I was amazed by a wonderful piece of technology that to me was completely new but is in actuality probably pretty old. The lady said I didn't need to fill out the check but to just give it to her. She had a machine that read it then printed on it and took the money out of the account right then... it used my check as a debit card. Then she gave it back to me with the printed info and a printed "void" on the front for me to keep as a receipt. Later when I went to Wal-Mart to get my drugs, they had the same thing. Is this technology new? Or am I really that far out of touch? Either way, I thought it was awesome and worthy of sharing.

So, it turns out I have pneumonia. This last week I have struggled with epic coughing, a terribly sore throat, fever, cold chills, dizziness, and the all-powerful symptom, "etc." I am currently writing under the influence of codine which almost reminds me of the many time I have written on no sleep. On that note, I think I need some sleep. Sorry for the very random update. I promise, C3 update is on the way. Just know that it was amazing and I can't wait to tell you all about it.
