Been Busy

Finally got the house ready and on the market. No one has come to see it, though. Very depressing. Every time I leave the house, even for a brief trip to the store or whatever, I have to make sure the whole house is pristine--in case someone drops in to see if this is their dream house. I have to put the dog in the laundry room with a gate to keep her there. She doesn't really understand the whole thing. I barely do myself. The house is so empty feeling.

I'm going back to Alabama to look at some more houses (been twice and last time was so disappointing-- nothing seems right) and hope for the best. It all leaves me feeling so sad.

Meanwhile, I practice my piano and go to work-- Summer Reading has started. I don't really have much heart for it anymore.

I was falling asleep at 10:30 but getting into bed all I could feel was the emptiness and loneliness filling up the whole house. I got up and made a cup of tea, the best remedy for melancholy that I could think of.

That, and practicing the piano.

Oh, and YouTube.
