The past two weeks have been incredibly busy.  Between getting ready for our move and playing catch-up with with my project at work, I’ve been putting in a lot of hours and dealing with good-byes and it’s taken its toll.

Tonight I plan on not even turning the computer on!

Every time my wife and I get to the point where we’re stressed, we realize two things:

• We need a vacation.
• There are things that are keeping us from getting that vacation.

Sound familiar?

One of the things that I’ve done for my wife, however, is to get her a massage, something like one of those bath and body luxury spa gift baskets.  It’s a chance to unwind, to focus on something other than what’s going on.

As for the move, it’s been quite the week.  We originally planned to close tomorrow and move on Saturday.  My brother, who has friends in my new hometown, is coming up, and we were hoping to take advantage of his presence.

However, we found out early this week that though we had everything done, the sellers could not locate their abstract.  Then, after they figured out who had it, they still didn’t get it to their lawyer until yesterday.  They claim that it’ll only take a few days to get everything filled out.

So, now it looks like I may close next Tuesday and then move next Saturday—which will give us a lot of time to get painting and carpeting.

Now, when will I schedule that massage?
