My husband and I are in the process of selling our current house and buying another one. The level of stress that this brings to my already fragile existence is insane. It seems to amplify all the issues that I already have and bring up new issues that I didn't even know existed.
The freedom of my flex time schedule has meant that I'm the one overseeing the contractors and cleaning the house while my husband goes to work every day. I already tend to go stir crazy when I overuse my work from home privileges but this is worse than normal. Not only am I sitting in my house all day, I have endless projects that I need to do to get our house ready to put on the market. I know it will all be worth it in the end but right now it's making me miserable.
Positive thought for the day: Packing and storing our stuff has helped us get rid of a lot of junk. It's kind of freeing to get rid of clutter and exciting to think about buying new furniture. I struggle to throw things out sometimes because I love the idea of re-purposing everything. I rarely have time to follow through with those projects so I end up with a lot of piles of half finished projects and I stress over not getting those projects done. As hard as it is to let go of some of these projects, it's a relief too.
Goals for tomorrow: Carve out some me time before/after the contractors so I don't feel so trapped. Plan my day over breakfast so I don't get derailed trying to do a million things. Ask my husband for help/support.
