Cabinets and boiling vinnegar pits

The yard sale is over, man those are a lot of work. It's interesting to be happy to have stuff gone mixed with the knowledge that I probably gave out too many discounts. Some of the bigger stuff, like the desk, or the great window air conditioner we had to buy, didn't sell. We'll see if we can sell a few of the last things on KSL. DI got a huge donation today.

I find it interesting how often we get reminded of our own weaknesses. I am consistently reminded that I have to learn to keep my reactions and anger under control. When I feel disrespected or condescended to I just turn into a boiling lava pit of anger and vinnegar... so we took a drive to give myself time to calm the heck down. Someday I'll be a calm, peaceful soul.... well, that's the goal anyway right.

The great thing was that of course we drove out to the house. The hard surface flooring is all in and the cabinetry is all up, and the painting is all done. It's fun to see it start to look like a house.

To save some money we had them just paint everything white, so it is a bit of a blank canvas right now.

Another weakness I know I need to work on is my pessimism. I have the hardest time letting myself get excited about something, anything really. I am always worried that it wont work out in the end, and getting all excited just makes the disappointment that much worse. So there is this nagging fear every time I see the house that something wont work out with financing. They keep assuring me that everything is great, but until we've signed the closing I think I am going to have this churning pit of acid standing in in the role of my stomach.
