Stupid dead animal guy!

Even though I was praying for reprieve last night I have ended up pretty sick :o\ Work was mind-numbingly long and difficult seeing as I'm feeling really weak and its such a physical job. My boss told me that Monday when the man came from the city to pick up the dead animals that he said he was just getting over a cold. Tuesday morning I woke up with a sore throat and by Tuesday night I was sick. My boss also asked tonight as I was leaving if he'd see me tomorrow. As terrible as he can be sometimes he really does know when I'm too sick to be there and he's usually pretty good about it. I told him he would see me, that there are only two days left and I'd tough it out as long as he tried extra hard to get Novis to work at least all day Sunday for me. I can do Monday if I have to, but two full days off are really important right now. Especially because...

I get my house key on Friday. FRIDAY. I must say, I never honestly thought this day would come! True, we're only renting but MAN. A house! Its like unbelievable for me! I'm really hating every one telling me what a huge undertaking it will be with all the painting and cleaning we're going to have to do to make it livable. I'm also hating people telling me that they're taking advantage of us because we're young girls. You know what? I don't care what you have to say about it! The deposit? Paid. The lease? Signed. The first months rent? Paid. We're doing this, and we can't wait! So keep your negative thoughts to yourselves and let us be happy about this! We deserve it!

In 48 hours we will, most likely, be in the new house putting up our first load of boxes!!!!
