Photo Day
I will get back to "letting go", but for now I am totally consumed and distracted by today being the day the photos for the MLS are being taken. Since last Sunday all I have done is de-clutter and un-decorate for this. By the week's end I felt I had done a pretty good job, so had the realtor come and check my work.
I was pleased that she agreed with me; had just a few minor changes. She was here Friday and scheduled this photo shoot for today, Monday.
I did the few things she wanted, they inspired me to do some more along those same line - keep each room neutral, so that the walls, windows, floors and space are what catches the eye, not the furnishing.
I just have to do a very quick dust and vacuum and the whole place is ready. It looks great and I am not minding it much at all. This somewhat simpler, sparser look does have it's appeal.
The open house will probably be this coming Sunday. Wouldn't it be a wonderful Mother's Day present if "THE" buyer showed up and things settled fast? I think I would be just a bit overwhelmed, but also quite excited.
I've tried hard not to fixate on where I will be living next, but find myself really, really, really, hoping for the loft in downtown Haverhill.
So, that's where I'm at. I am exhausted. To get things to this stage I've worked every day for the past week. It was good work and satisfying work, but very tiring. Am looking forward to when they leave today and there isn't anything that I have to do. I can relax, nap, sew, or just sit and day-dream, but not for too long.
Need to sort through my dresser, closet and some storage bins of clothes and also look seriously for a place to live. But, I don't have to do any of that today. Tomorrow, I should start for sure, but not today. Today I will congratulate myself on a job well done, reward myself with some snuggle time with my cats, rest and get ready for this next phase.
I've been contemplating this for such a long time, that I am actually at this point and doing it seems a bit unreal. But, once it is listed it is real and, I like that!
