Freak me, baby

I am freakin'. And no, not in that good way, either.

It is so hot here right now; the sun is just blazing down and I've been out doing errands and grocery shopping. Marty is on his way home from Virginia with Anna and Gene (his mom and stepdad). They should be here within the next hour or so.

I can't even explain all the things that are stressing me today. I was in the grocery store just a little while ago buying bagels, and I got two bags, then realized that Marty will be gone to Germany -- for good -- before the second bag is finished. The milk has a date of July 15 on it; that's the day I come back home from Munich and start working on getting the movers in and the stuff out. I got home and as I was unloading the car I kept worrying about when I'm going to get the body work done on it and how I'm going to sell it. Then, walking to the front door I was looking at the lawn and thinking I would need to cut it soon, which is generally not one of my chores, although I do know how to work the lawn mower.

Then my mother-in-law is coming (which I am very, VERY glad of) but I haven't managed to clean up the house the way I usually would, and that is stressing me too. I realize how stupid that sounds, in light of all the rest of the things I have to do, but it is very difficult to prioritize things right now.

We are thinking of having our tag sale this weekend, since Anna is great at organizing and will help me get everything together for it and also run it. But now you can add to the list me looking around the place and trying to decide what I want to get rid of, as well as what needs to go to Germany and what will go into storage.

And no, we still don't know whether we're going to sell the house or keep it. So you see I really am freakin'.

My advice to you, dear reader, is to take a vacation from RW for a couple of months until I get over there... life is not going to be pretty 'round these parts for the next little while...
