Lemondrop

When I last left you all, I was biting my nails, drinking heavily and chanting voodoo incantations, all in the hope that the last of the contingencies would clear and we would sell our house. Evidently, something worked, because clear they did, and sold it is!

I feel like I've been holding my breath for months. Working while dealing with home improvement, worrying about the atrocious real estate market, packing, looking for a new job and not being able to talk to my friends about any of it has really taken its toll on me. My weight has fluctuated, and I haven't had a good night's sleep in weeks. I've been testy at work and have probably been acting more psychotic than usual to my husband.

But it's almost over. And now that I've come clean with my co-workers and friends, it's time to come clean on Lemondrop as well.

The whole sordid tale came out in one breath when I gave notice at work this week, and it feels fantastic to not have to live a lie anymore.

Due to my double life, I've had to blog under a pseudonym. But no longer! My name is Amy, and I'll no longer be blogging as Eliza after this post. Sorry for the subterfuge, but I couldn't handle getting fired on top of everything else going on right now.

Even though I can once again eat, sleep and breathe like a normal person, my to-do list has not stopped growing. Switching utilities and insurance, moving bank accounts, updating mailing addresses, finding movers ... Oh, and did I mention I still have a full-time job for the next two weeks?

Still, all that seems pretty trivial compared to the big stuff that's finally out of the way. I'd much rather have a bunch of busy work that doesn't require a great deal of brain power instead of having to deal with the major things that were threatening to melt my mind. And at the end of each long day spent working and packing, I rest comfortably with the knowledge that we are one day closer to moving on to the next exciting chapter of our lives.
