Two people are coming from Yorkshire day after tomorrow to see our house with an eye to buying it. Sigh. Tomorrow is cleaning day. A very weird experience, this. If you've ever sold a house, you know what I mean. I never have. But isn't life an adventure?
It's good to be back home. I've been away for a while--spent last week in Zurich, in the whipping snow, in the theater, in lots of department stores and cafés and friends' homes. Lots of fun, but the most creative thing I've done in a week is find ways to move my suitcase without picking it up. My back behaved just long enough for me to make this long-planned journey to see my son in a play, then went out again one second after returning home.
So...first things first? First, breathe deeply, straighten up, relax. Clean the house and welcome the buyers. Then head for the paints. Truly, sometimes the best thing you can do for your creativity is create the conditions to support it.
What will these people see when they look at my house? What will they see when they look in my room, at my corner table piled with painting paraphernalia? Will they see what I see: a beloved refuge that's calling to me as I declutter the living room? Probably not. I know what they'll see: no closets!
Anyway, it's good to be home. Wherever that may be.
Hi Precious Durga,
Your house is so beautiful! I am believing for You guys to be able to sell it in no time!
Great to hear a bit about Your trip to Zurich! I am so happy Your back was ok there and You got to enjoy Your trip!
