Limbo, lint, and stress No more house limbo. The closing on the house we like is set for mid-December, and today our landlord said he has no problem letting us out of our lease on this home a few months early. Now comes furniture limbo. I need a sofa. I had several appointments this morning, including one with Son�s teacher, so I wanted to look decent. I grabbed a new shirt from the closet, peeled off the half-foot-long size sticker, put it on with a nice pair of pants and a dab of makeup and set on my way. Hours later I noticed the boobticular lint rectangle that�s been on public display through one home inspection, one teacher conference, and one quick foray into the corner gas station for a cup of coffee. Gads. I�m stressing about moving. I�m stressing about packing. I�m stressing about Christmas gifts. I�m stressing about budgets. I�m stressing about realizing I eat when I�m stressed. Forget the turkey; a little more hoopla in my life this week and I�ll be the one stuffed. | |
