House For Sale
Feb. 1st, 2006 08:27 amSo, we are moving. My goal, based on nothing but what I want to happen, is for the house to close no later than May 15th. However, before that I can happen, we must find a buyer and before that can happen, I must list it.
But there's a lot to be done before I can list it and I'm feeling overwhelmed. The house must be cleaned - and not to where I'm happy with it, but really cleaned. The carpets should probably be cleaned also. Dogs are hard on carpets. And we need to do some work on the yard (laying down pine straw). And I need to get the guest bedroom stuff put away and Joe must organize his office and get the leaves out of the gutters. I could have done this in a week before Ellie but now it seems like such a huge task.
My original goal was to have the house on the market Feb 1st. Obviously that's not happening. My new goal is when I get back from my parents' house in three weeks.
I wonder how much of this is just that I hate moving. Until I get to the new place, I always feel such a sense of loss. I don't even *like* Sanford, but there's a lot here that I will miss.
