We're off!

Phew...what a week.
First, an accounting test, then the new refrigerator, and now packing/getting ready to leave to go home.

Good news on the doggie front. Shosta's blood test came back just fine! They found that she has a cholesterol level that is on the high side of "normal" - we're not sure why since we don't really feed her any table scraps except some meat here and there. No matter - she's all better! I was so sick all weekend (literally) from worrying...but my baby dog is OK!

Had my 2nd accounting test on Monday...I think it went well. Hoping to hear back from my prof on my grade before we leave. We'll see about that...

Sigh...so...last Wednesday our refrigerator finally gave up it's ghost. We threw out TONS of food (two bags worth) and have been living out of a cooler ever since (with no signs of our landlord refunding us for the food lost...c'est la vie). FINALLY, yesterday the fridge came. I couldn't understand a word that the delivery men said, but it works - that's all I care about. It still has a slightly "plastic-y" smell despite washing it out with soap and water. I don't care. I don't have to try to find a can of pop at the bottom of a slew of ice anymore! Yay! My friend, Jeanette, and I agree that nearly a week waiting for a new refrigerator is TOO long...they could have had it delivered on the weekend (it probably would have cost more, which is why we think they had us wait until a weekday - bah) but I guess I shouldn't complain.

Today is a busy day. It's only 9:45 and I've already done laundry, baked pumpkin bread, moved the car, and started homework. My "TO DO" list is still pretty long...but I'm making headway. Hopefully I'll have everything ready to go by the time Kurt gets home...we're hoping to be leaving the city by 6. We'll see if that happens! VERY concerned about traffic...we've never left the city on a holiday - I'm sure it will be a living nightmare!

OK...gotta get back to work now...my list isn't getting any smaller!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
