These Boots are Made for Moping

It's official - my house is not sold & I'm back to square one.  :(

I'm sure this is just a temporary setback, but it's so hard not to feel bummed.  I'm supposed to be moved by now!  I've pulled all of my shoes out & have them covering my bedroom in different piles - shoes I want to take pictures in before I move, shoes I want to bring with me, shoes I need to (*sniff*) get rid of & so on.  I have a storage unit that is packed to the rafters.  It's so hard for me to get rid of stuff, especially girly stuff I think would look good in pictures, even if it's totally uncomfortable (hello hot pink stiletto heels that I can barely stand in!).

I've got my house for sale listings up again & have people coming to look this weekend, so that means tonight is the big clean.  It's so frustrating because I had the whole place looking perfect, but after I accepted the sale offer, I kind of trashed it during my packing/organizing/panty shuffle.  I think I'll be doing a lot of shoving stuff into boxes unsorted in an attempt to get down to the real scrubbing as quickly as possible.

That's how everything in my life feels right now - unorganized & chaotic.  I started installing a new program that will help me manage my members area so you can search for photos, sort by category, save favorites & so on.  The real draw is that I can just upload a folder of pictures & it will create all the galleries for me - resize, make the thumbnails, add the watermark, all of it!  This would be a huge time saver for me so I could focus on shooting more pictures.  But of course it doesn't work just right out of the box.  There are a gazillion settings to change & templates to fiddle with & PHP to learn, then code.  One more thing that's sitting completely unfinished.  *rips hair out*

I hate to whine like this on my blog which is exactly why I've been avoiding writing anything, but you know what?  I always feel better after I do get it all out.  I guess once I say it out loud (or in print) it doesn't feel like *such* a big deal.

I can do this!  I'm getting there!  Maybe someone will buy my house this weekend & they'll also know how to customize my new PHP script & they'll want to buy all of furniture, old clothes & shoes.  You never know!  *grin*
