Officially Stressed

It's here. Stress has arrive on my doorstep this morning. And I feel like my head is spinning, as a result.

My friend Belinda called and said to pick a time to be together before I left. She said to look over my calendar and email the possibilities to her. I did just that, and could only come up with a couple, couple hour windows from which to choose.

When am I gonna go through my whole house and Goodwill what I don't want to take with me? When am I gonna say the goodbyes I want to say? When am I gonna have moments to myself to spend in the Park of Roses and the Caribou up the street and the cemetery with Duncan? When am I gonna eat up all the goodies in my deluxe freezer downstairs?

Wow. I'm in a tailspin. I guess the first step is to stop blogging and get to it.

OK, so I am a complete moron for NOT taking more photos of the house when we were in Rochester that one weekend. In my defense, when we went through it the last time, I a) didn't know that house was going to be the one we put the offer on and b) didn't think it would be the last time I saw it before we left.





Anyway, I'm kicking myself, cuz folks have been wanting to see it! Below are only two pics. The only ones we got. More to come when we actually arrive there...

This is the front living room. There's a bay window to the left and, of course, a fireplace!

This is the family room in the back of the house. The picture is taken from the kitchen... so the kitchen walks out to this little eat-in space and then into the casual family room... another fireplace (and you can catch a teensy glimpse of the screened-in porch to the left!!! A MAJOR bonus for me!). Can you see me deliberating??? I think I was stressed at this point!
