The housesitter is set. Most of my stuff is loaded in the car. Everything else is gathered around and waiting to be carried out. I got my Christmas cards taken care of. Washed some more clothes. Dishwasher is ready to be run. I have an early morning wake-up call set up. And beyond all that, I’m not all stressed as I was last night. Things feel much smoother at this point. Delaying a day, intentional or not, seems to have been a wonderful idea.
