Seriously?

I know this cliche phrase is so last year from "Grey's" but it perfectly suits my present state of mind. In the matter of 19 days, I've switched jobs, changed my commute back to the train and I'm under contract for a condo. And oh yeah, I've still got my night job, so it's three 12-13 hour days three days a week. Am I nuts? Yeah. Is is going to be worth it, good grief I hope so.
My parent's attic is getting full of stuff, mostly kitchen things, since I think in another life I was Julia Child. I've got paint colors and matching fabric picked out. Now I'm just waiting for the closing date to arrive. It was originally suppose to be at the month's end. Thank goodness, in retrospect, that the Seller changed his mind. My agent's a little worried he might change it again, I hope not. I've got paint chips on the line baby!

My sister's old room is full of packed boxes.
Yes in a moment of madness, or perhaps genius, I packed all my stuff up that I don't use every day. For me that means...books! lots of 'em. I recycled a bunch in a fit of "well now that I'm not going to grad. school" and sold a couple as well online. I've decided to upgrade to a big girl bed, finally! The jury's still out whether I need a big dresser because the closet's are H U G E. I just hope the seller cleans up a little bit. When I went in over the weekend for the inspection, it was yucky. I'm going to have to hire someone to pre-clean I suspect.

Ironically the only thing that hasn't changed in my dating life. I joke that I gave up dating for the season of Lent, even though I don't really practice that in my religious life. Seriously though the guy I was nuts for has turned into a dead end. He can't be bothered to even make plans with me until a few hours before. I finally said no when he called about doing something during the week. That's almost never a good idea for me because I have a long day of work every week. Anyway, he's only as good as his word, right? And since he's fairly uncommunicative, I'd say his chances are getting slimmer the closer I get to the weekend.
