Selling the house

This morning began with a loud cry of “They’re coming now!” followed by half an hour of hyperventilation and frantic cleaning intermittent with panicked shouting. The house just went up on the market, and all the realtors came to look at it this morning. For about an hour our house was full of men and women in suites, gabbing, eating cookies, drinking coffee, stalking from room to room, and taking pictures of everything. Welcome to the world of moving.
