Moving is fun, except for, you know, never getting caught up. I can’t unpack because I need to paint. So I paint. Still can’t unpack because I need to swap out all those outlets. Get distracted from installing outlets so I can install 16 mini-blinds. Then decide to dismantle the stove because it’s the freaking nastiest thing I’ve ever seen, but buying a new one is $1900 so I don rubber gloves and a giant bottle of Grease Lightning and roll of paper towels and a vacuum cleaner. In the meantime we get a contract on the other house (hooray!), so we have to go over there and clean and haul even more stuff over to the new house. Then realize that while doing all this, I’ve skirted my duties as board member and have lots of web programming to get caught up on, then remember I traded the realtor some programming for a discount on his fees, so I have to write THAT program. Then the wife needs attention and the dogs need to go out and we need to make supper, go to Home Depot, Christmas shop, run gas line to the back porch so I can hook up the grill, still go to work during they day, attend board meetings, pay bills, figure out why the mail hasn’t forwarded yet, cancel Dish (keep getting put on hold forever), and blog.

Whew!

Then I had a dream last night we decided to sell the new house because it has too many steps, and suddenly we realized that we had nowhere to live and couldn’t get another home loan because we had three mortgages still on our credit report.

Is this what they call “stress?” Heh… Only 17 more days until my vacation time is replenished…!
