Stranger In My Own House
I am a stranger in my own house. Here I sit in my professionally cleaned, tidied and decluttered, ready-to-be-shown house. I am afraid to do anything here for fear I will make a mess or dirty it up. How will I feel once it is sold....?
There are eight appointments booked for tomorrow(Saturday) between 10 am and 8 pm and I am hightailing it out of here early in the morning. I figure I've done all I can to prepare this house for the market and now I should make myself scarce so that the prospective buyers can feel more comfortable looking over the house. So I am driving up to Gimli for the day with my friend, W.
On Sunday we have an open house and we may have more appointments that day, too. My agent assures me we'll have lots of offers. We take offers until Monday.
Yesterday, the weather forecast was for a winter storm or possibly a blizzard for today and tomorrow. I was quite anxious that it might cause some cancellations of appointments to view the house. But the weather advisory has now been lifted. It seems we won't have that storm after all and I am so relieved.
It's a pity that he's not here to experience the mixture of sadness and excitement of selling our home.
Happy belated birthday to Charlene. Hope Lyn is feeling better these days. Congratulations on the new car, David.
Family faces are magic mirrors. Looking at people who belong to us, we see the past, present, and future. ~Gail Lumet Buckley
