Life's Hold Music

When you're waiting to get something incredibly life-changing done, everything else feels like hold music or waiting to get off an escalator. You know it's coming, but you MUST do _____ first.

That's what this week has been like for Libs and I. Tuesday we secured our insurance policy for our new house. Wednesday morning we went to the lawyer's office to sign every form they had in their cabinets, apparently. Tonight we take a final look at the house before accepting the keys...on Friday....sometime around 3 pm...

This whole week has been some kind of bizarre torture. Well, the last three months has been torture. It's been three months since we handed over our down payment for this house. We haven't seen the inside since and now all we want to do is get in there and paint (cleaning first, if the original owners were jerks and decided to leave us with a mess)

Plus, we don't officially move until July 21st. We'd been under the assumption our closing date was July 14th so a week from closing gave us time to paint etc. I'll bet a dozen beers we go there nearly every night after work for the next two weeks, moving little odds and ends and planning our new life.

All that being said, I gotta apologize to my coworkers for my lack of focus and complete disinterest in what are likely important projects.
