It seems silly, but I bought these pink flowers for my front porch, even though in a month or so it'll no longer be my house. But in the meantime, I want to enjoy all the little things like this.

When I put the house on the market, I put away all of my personal photos so the buyers could imagine their lives there -- and not mine. It was strange living these past 9 months without any family photos on the walls. Now that it's under contract and there's no more showings, it doesn't matter. It felt good tacking this one to the fridge.

Porch paint

It's not a pretty picture, but it cracked me up when I saw it. The paint is peeling off our front porch, sticking to our shoes and tracking through the house. I found this stray piece of paint on a stairwell in the hospital. It follows us EVERYWHERE!

It's a bust

Someone looked at the house this afternoon. They liked it, but complained about the master bath. It's a "no go." They said. It's really hard not to be frustrated and get so disappointed each time. But at least it buys me more time in my house.

Late night cleaning

Showing in the morning, so I had to do some late night vacuuming. I'm so tired of keeping the house clean.
