Everything is manageable.

I am really stressing out right now! Between getting the house ready to sell, finishing my finals for grad school, and preparing for Christmas, I feel like I am going in twenty different directions.

On top of it all, we still haven’t received the official letter of employment, so do we even have a new job? I have already ordered thousands of dollars of things like new carpet to fix up our house to sell. In this market, you have to do everything possible to create a great impression on home buyers. My realtor wants to list the house as soon as possible after Christmas to maximize our chances of selling, but we have soooo much to do!

And, if we really do have a new job (my husband is 100% convinced we do) how secure is this job? Do we buy in the new city or rent? What if we can’t sell our old house?

OK, deep breath, and I’ll deal with things I can. My husband will check today on the status of the job. I still have a few days to cancel the carpet order. My last final is today. We cut way back on Christmas spending this year, so I do not have much more shopping to finish.

Everything is manageable.
