monday comes slowly and all at once
I rolled over this morning, hip popping and ears attuned to the racket down the stairs. A rousing game of Clue - I grab my alarm clock for verification - was underway at 6:08 am.
Beds were made; giggling and murderous accusations were being tossed across the kitchen table.
I headed for my coffee pot and prayed for that kind of energy. I pretty sure it doesn't come in a cup.
I woke up groggy after a busy weekend. We visited with Greg's mom at the fairgrounds Saturday; she was showing a couple of llamas from their herd and showcasing some of her yarn and felted hats.
Our realtor booted us out yesterday for another open house. No offers were made, but at least we had some visitors that gave us some feedback.
(I hate washing windows for nothing.)
And if the market wasn't tanking - as I type - I would feel mighty cheery right now. At least productive.
I'm stepping onto my porch and taking a media breather - I've been yelling at the radio and TV far too much this week - to soak by some vitamin D.
By the cup or by the ray, I'm trying to talk myself out of the blues.

On the up side though...
You. Are. Fabulous.
So there.
oh see what i did there.
that was almost funny.
almost.
Hope you got outside and soaked up some nature's antidepressant today.
: )
Oh and ps- beds made at 6am? Where can I buy kids like yours??
On another note, is there any chance you could rent your house out to meet the payment on it?
Many builders in our area are offering plans whereby if you buy one of their new homes, they will GUARANTEE they can get a renter for your current home. It was a bit shocked when I heard that (in the past they would help you SELL you old home) but I guess its better than nothing.
Just to be clear - they did that without being told to?
I am still stuck on that point. Wow.
Sorry to hear about the blues - bleah. I hope things turn around soon, it's no fun trying to sell a house, and the markets certainly aren't helping you. Fingers crossed for you. The renting sounds like an idea - I am not sure what the tax laws are in the US, but we've used a property manager and their fees are tax deductible (so any "profit" ha ha, yeah right we made was cut back by the managers fees). Might be worth a shot?
So you are stronger people than me.
