With the inspections behind us, we’re now two weeks away from moving out of what was our home for the past 12+ years.  My wonderful wife has been packing and taking care of pretty much everything, which has been interesting for the control freak in me.  I’m pretty blown away by how stressful this has all been, although knowing me, its more about me creating stress where there is no stress than anything else.  Anyway, here’s a shot of what will be the new house (assuming nothing goes awry at the closing).  

How pimp is that backyard!  Sure, it will take 4x as long to mow the lawn, but I get some privacy and some space which is what I really wanted.

What on Earth was the Goyim doing hanging out in the Shul this morning?

After 1 week of having the house up for sale, we’ve had 11 showings.  That seems like a lot.  Our realtor says its more than normal.  All I know is that I’m completely exhausted.  On Saturday we had to be out of the house from 10:30AM to 4:30PM.

In an effort to be more productive while we were barred from our home, we went and looked at some houses that seemed interesting based on what we saw online.  All I can say is that Realtor.com can be extremely deceptive.  The houses we really wanted to see were all under contract and the ones that weren’t either sucked ass or reeked of incense.  I guess that’s what we get for living in Boulder County, but when you can taste the smell for 30 minutes after you leave, well that’s not a good thing.

At any rate, the entire process is quite a bit more stressful than I thought it would be.  Plus, since I’m dieting I can’t eat and drink my stress away.  Not that I don’t love my generous helpings of cottage cheese and applesauce (really, its not as vile as it sounds).
