Coming to Terms...

with the fact that this is going to be the Fall That Wasn't. We worked so hard to keep the yard leaf-free for showings, there wasn't time to play in the leaf piles. We worked so hard cleaning and taking stuff out of the house so it would show better that there wasn't time to go to the pumpkin farm. We have now pushed the move date back by 2 weeks so we can clean and paint at the new house, so Thanksgiving is really just going to be a blip in the endless continuum of home improvement work. We move the first weekend in December and will spend most of the month unpacking and figuring out what to do with stuff, so Christmas is looking like it's going to be a casualty as well.

I don't know how I'm going to complete any holiday shopping for nieces and nephews. This might be the year of the gift card....

All this is making me feel discombobulated -- just off kilter, like the whole universe has developed a nervous tic and I'm the only one who's noticed it.
