Some progress

  Had a weekend of doing stuff to get the house ready to sell. Some clean up in the garden (other than the gardener who will be here this week to do the big clean up in the back), some removing of weeds in the front path and driveway, some clean up and touch up of the outside of the house and a little more clearing away of things inside. The house is mostly presentable now, just a few odds and ends to do and we will be ready. Hopefully this time next week we will have an idea of what we are getting ready for. A little nervous since we need to see if we like the area and can find a house that will have what we need. There is no point doing this if we can't find what we want. Maybe this is the area, maybe it will be somewhere else, we shall see I suppose.

  Fun at work tomorrow, a presentation by me and an interview to do for another department. All the things I really enjoy :| . At least I get one more work from home day today before I need to be back in the office for stuff. It is nice working like this, much less hassle from other people but then you would expect that with not being physically there. Another advantage to working from home is having a cat sit happily on your lap like I do right now with Lucy. Boots is in a basket in the corner of the room sleeping away and the other two are off napping somewhere. Mostly though I can be here with my wife and get more time with her. Just being physically present in the same room with her, get the most the time we do have together. It may be decades more but I don't care, I'm greedy when it comes to time with her.

  Just feels a little weird at the moment, almost at what we want but not quite and waiting for things to happen. It is the bit in the middle, between when you decide and are capable of doing something and when the final thing comes together. The not knowing how it is all going to turn out is scary to me. Sure you can never be certain of everything but it would be nice to know it will work out. We may have been able to do what we intend most of the time so I suppose this should work out too I'm just nervous about it. If we pull it off and I am able to work at the same company and that lasts until I retire it is going to be good. Us living somewhere that is quiet and makes us happy. Strange to think that in life we will get what we want, so many people don't end up with that and end up angry frustrated people. I want us to be the ones who get what we want and live happily with it. We don't need to be mega rich or have everything, just enough for us to be comfortable and enjoy our time with each other.
