Day 8 - Stress


As we move closer and closer to putting the house on the market (which I feel like we've been trying to do for a month, but maybe it'll happen next week. Next week!), our stress level increases a bit. How much do we really need to fix? Should we replace that window? Do we really need to paint that little white spot on the wall? How nice should the carpet be that we install? How much, really, do we need to clear out of the closets? And then, what if our house sells super quick and there's not a house on the market that we want to buy and we end up homeless for a while? And where do we want to move?

When the stress levels go up you need to do good, fun things. Go for a walk. Work out with Jillian. Take a nap. Eat pizza from La Cucina. Toss the baby in the air for a while and listen to him giggle. Watch USA/Canada hockey. Tell John not to even turn on a computer if he doesn't want to know the score (he's got it on Tivo). Go play outside and say good-bye to the last remnants of snow. It's supposed to be 50 here next weekend. 50! Hellooooooo, SPRING!

Speaking of stress, we've got two more days of Jillian at Level 1, and then we move up to harder, kick your ass a little bit more, Level 2. Helloooooo, sore muscles!
