"How's things with the house?"

Are you kidding me???

We close in less than a week. Less. Than. A. Week. And the phone keeps ringingringingringing and there's people who want things and expect me to know things. lots of things. and things just aren't staying in my stressed little head right now. and did i mention? did i? that the seller had a heart attack this week? oh yes. and is there a nice way to ask how this might effect things? is there a way to ask if we can still have their house that doesn't sound awful? so...they aren't really moving out for a couple of weeks even though the closing is in 6 days, or maybe 5, people seem confused right now so there's more phoning and calling and talking and asking and ..... Shouldn't we at least be agreeing on a date at this point people?!?
But we just don't know what's going to happen and i can't just show up at the hospital with a card, some flowers, some muffins and a power of attorney form.

We're tying up loose ends and trying not to drink to early in the afternoon. It's not too early now, right? Right?? Right????

Oh, and it's frickin', flippin' cold out there today.

And, because right now it's the little things that are going to set me teetering over the edge, I lost the remote to the DVR. The DVR! Gone. Gone, I tell you. It's been gone for almost a week now. It's like losing a limb or a child and now I am going to have to go to the cable company. Have you ever been there? I have to go in and grovel for a new remote and they will probably ask for a limb or a child as payment.
