feeling the squeeze

Photo reflects life: Not perfectly clear, cluttered, smooshed, still optimistic.

November already and we're feeling the squeeze -- about two months to go. Although I write it I still don't quite believe it. What was I doing just two months ago? It doesn't help that Hurricane Sandy blew through and stole away three whole days of productivity. Now, on top of everything else, I must fight inertia. We hope to start advertising the house to renters in the next two weeks. Also need to prepare the family car for sale. Well, both cars, eventually.

I'm glad Halloween is over. We muddled through this year, with and without power. But today begins a new month, we're back on the grid, I threw the candy out of the house (literally), and I'm ready to get back on track.
