The calm before the storm

It's Sunday night and the house is...silent.

Jay is gone, the dog is gone, and I'm left with just myself.

Inside, everything is cleaned, organized, and stored.

Outside, the lawn is mowed, our WELCOME is down, and in it's place... a SALE PENDING.

The house is ready, the house is dark, the house is quiet.

It's strange, the calm before the storm.

You know something's coming, but can never quite predict what chaos is on its way.

In 48 hours, it will have all blown through, leaving behind nothing.

So, yes, for now, I'm going to sit in my little house, and just enjoy the calm.

Excellent. I love this blog. Simple, bittersweet, and to the point.
