a bunch of packers, a sales contract, and a very sore throat

where do i begin? i think i'll start from this moment and go backwards... the question is - why am i awake at 2am??? because my throat feels like someone is trying to cut their way out of it. sorry but that's what it feels like. it's probably nothing compared to kidney stones (still praying for ya Brian). but at this moment my right tonsil is the center of the universe. got sick friday afternoon, and spent yesterday and today praying for healing, and not to get an abscessed tonsil like last year to no avail, but i'm not giving up on the praying part. for some reason today sometime after 7pm the pain just escalated. sleep is not the escape i was hoping it would be. i've gargled with 1/2 a salt flat today and drank never ending cups of hot tea with honey. seems that antibiotics are the only hope. on the outside i have some freaky looking rash on the lower half of my throat and top of my chest.
thursday and friday i was back to work. weds my friend and i drove to the warehouse where all of our belongings had been unloaded and being prepared and stuffed into crates for the ride to the port and then the long ocean journey to Sicily. lucky furniture!
the saga really goes all the way back to thursday, when a new realtor came by to discuss a new contract for the house. brad & i discussed it and i was ready to sign. turns out he couldn't make it back out until friday and then not until noon. so basically both of those days that i had taken off work to prepare for the packers were not spent preparing for packers.
on friday about 1pm our original agent called and expected on offer friday night or saturday. fri. night i was up until 2:30am preparing for packers. all day sat too. no contract offer came in.
sunday went to church, came back, started a load of laundry, and flooded the laundry room. called some folks and did not get a solution until monday morning (the flooding had stopped once i turned off the washer...)
so monday the packers showed up around 10:30am and worked until about 2:30 and almost had the entire house finished.
okay...this is long...i'll finish with a Part 2...
