1. Should I send this to the realtor and see what she can find?

2. I’m actually doubtful that this is the year a new house will happen–work is still so slow and it’s not like public health is getting more finding any time soon. I’m filling the day/coping by continuing the organization blitz. I got the gift wrap area in the basement and the garage shelves done this week:Top down close up of a box with small compartments. Each compartment has bits of ribbon rolled neatly in it. The compartments are organized by color. Wide shot of garage shelves. Boxes and bins are stacked neatly, along with pots and potting soil.

 

3. The NY Times has a big “FAQs about death and dying” article, which…doesn’t sound exactly comforting, but they really nailed the tone. Plus, the comments are so human. I guess death is the universal human experience. (Also: make a will! We finally got our trusts/advance directives/pet trust set up this year and that Being Prepared feeling is great.)
