ITS THAT TIME AGAIN

Here's a news flash for ya! I have anxiety issues. There are specific social situations where I get nervous and anxious. I have known this since I was a child, but even as an adult I have a hard time explaining why I feel anxious about certain situations. It is hard to explain it to someone else because it is not your simple speaking in public or meeting new people sort of social anxiety. The situations are hard to explain. They do not happen all the time, just every now and again. For instance:

This past weekend we were soooo busy. I felt the anxiety creeping in but I am definitely trying to ward it off. However, it is getting more and more difficult as closing gets nearer! I feel like I am responsible for everyone else's job. Our lender didn't even have a title company scheduled as of Friday. He said "I thought your realtor was handling that." Uh, we have NEVER had a realtor. Not when we sold our house nor during the whole process of building. He KNEW that and totally dropped the ball. Of course, when he realized his mistake, he was very apologetic and got the ball rolling. So everything is fine now but if I hadn't asked him specifically who the title company was and where we would be closing, we WOULDN'T be closing on Thursday. Compound the upcoming closing with our meeting with the tax accountant this morning and the anxiety levels just soars. It is times like this that the anxiety creeps in…. where the control and circumstances slip through my fingertips and our life is placed in someone else's hands. Goodness gracious. Okay, sigh............. :-)

On top of all of the anxiety issues, we had to deal with the time change. In my mind, this leap forward process is a whole big aggravation. Not only does it mess up our mornings (we get up at 4:30 to work out) but we also lost a very precious hour over the weekend. Can we say, grumpy????? It sure takes awhile for the body to get used to that one measly hour time difference! I figure we must be missing some benefit to doing this. But we certainly cannot think of one at this moment. Frankly, in our mind, daylight exists when it exists. If we had our choice, we would say stop with moving the clocks around. Let's just fall back one more time, and then leave it alone. One extra hour of sleep, now that is pure bliss! :-)

People keep asking us if we are excited about our new house. OF COURSE we are, but we are NOT excited about the move. We want that part of our journey to end soon and end it shall…………just two more days!
