Powerful Panic Attacks

Two more days! I started calling all our utility companies last night to have our service transferred over. Each call took forever. None seemed less than 30 minutes. I don’t see how people find the time to move more than once a decade.

I had a panic attack last night when I ask the power company what the average power bill was for the new place. The woman on the other end sweetly replied with $800. $800!! Holy cow! I started to panic and almost fell out of my chair. “Do you mean $800 for multiple houses?” As in $800 for the whole street? “No ma’am, just the one house with one meter. You must be buying a big house!” Nope, not the case at all. Strangely enough, she did not seem affected by the astronomical amount. For a split second, I thought I was dreaming.

Once realty came back and hit me like a Mac truck, I asked if it was a past due balance and she said no. After a momentary blackout, I eventually found the strength to explain to her my concerns of having an $800 power bill and she put me on hold to investigate, which did not help my mental and physical situation. By the time she returned, I was gasping for air and had to hold my breath to hear what she was saying.

Thankfully, she explained to me that they had made a mistake in the billing and that it was in fact much less. At least, I hope that is what she said.

BTW, there was a giraffe calf born at the Zoo yesterday. He is one day old and already taller than me at 5 foot six inches.

One Hot Mess

Hello! It’s Monday, July 28th which means we have three day until we close on our house and I am very excited. However, I am also getting extremely impatient. Emotional highs from the excitement + the lows from the impatient anxiety = a hot mess, a.k.a. me.

We have been waiting a month to close and I do not see how anyone’s nerves can survive anything longer than that. Our list of things to do seems to be getting longer every minute.

Please pray for my sanity (what little I have left) and for my marriage. One can only handle so many crazy mood swings.

Also, thanks to everyone who has offered to help! That is very kind of you and you have no idea what you have gotten yourself into.

xoxo
