Bionic Teutonic

Damn, it’s been a busy week. We just bought a condo up on Capitol Hill, so aside from all the paperwork, inspection, etc. this means that we are putting our house on the market on Friday. This makes me very nervous. I have never sold a house before and it feels like a big deal. We have been scrambling like crazy to get it ready - doing all the gardening and weeding that I haven’t done since last year. Planting some flowers in the yard to give it some color. Staging all of the rooms so they are devoid of any personal imprint (which results in some bland, but apparently appropriate rooms that we have to live in until the house is sold). On top of all of that, we have our summer camp-out next weekend and Shambhala the weekend after, both of which take some thinking about. Plus, I’ve actually been fully busy at work the last week, which is odd. I normally have some downtime where I poke around on the Internet, answer e-mails, etc. but not this week (although I am posting this from work, so I guess I have some time to spare)

All that being said, I’m excited about making some changes. Way back when I got back from Bali, I decided that some of the specifics of my life were not how I wanted them to be. The living situation was only one of those changes, and it’s taken quite a while, but I feel like I/we are doing the right thing for the way we want to live. Being back in a neighborhood that I feel connected to, that I have friends in, etc. will be really nice. The condo itself won’t be done until end of August (it’s a conversion) and I’m really hoping that we have sold our house by then. The idea of paying two mortgages, even if only for a month or two, is not appealing. I’m trying to remember that even the worst case scenarios aren’t really that bad. We will be fine in the end. The prospect of things lingering just feels kind of daunting.
