In the Meantime

Well, things are still chugging along on the house.  We were supposed to close on the 21st of this month, and then we were supposed to close at the beginning of this week (it's now Wednesday), but we really just wanted to leave a little cushion of time so we could close by the deadline on the 30th.  It looks like that's not going to happen now, but even though our realty team says it's no big deal, we're a little freaked out by it.  I hope it's realistic to think we'll be able to close by August 16 when our lease expires, but we're leaving on vacation on the 15th because we thought we'd be done with all this nonsense by then! 

Meanwhile, we've got all sorts of other foolishness going on.  There's stuff related to the house, like shopping for furniture and appliances.  And we've got company--Eric's mom and his friend Pete--because we thought we'd need their help working on packing (and unpacking) and organizing and home improvement and repairs, respectively, by this time.  Eric's shift times at work have been a little kooky lately, but he since has taken on a new responsibility that will give his schedule a bit more stability.  Then there's Encore opening in one week, which involves memorizing music, shopping for costumes, and, oh yeah, lots and lots of rehearsals.  With the house, company, and the crazy work schedule, Eric decided he didn't need one more commitment to juggle, so for the first time ever, he'll get to watch Encore from the audience!  And, of course, there's my work which is always unpredictable, and just trying to find some time to spend together!  So with all of this going on at once, we're pooped!  Needless to say, we're anxious to reach the denoument of this neverending Pot o' Gold saga.  Thoughts and prayers, please!
