I was able to get some better supplies for trying to tear up the concrete! My friend said she'd come over and help some time soon as well! I don't mind what my mother says, I still think this house is really good. It's a chance for me to be independent. I also decided to keep the jewel I found downstairs, rather than in my room. Last few nights I've been having nightmares about it, and I'd rather keep it out of waking site!
