My husband and I met with the real estate stager yesterday afternoon. She was amazing! Mindbogglingly so! She gave us dozens and dozens of tips on how to better showcase our house (what needs replacing and with what things/colors, what could stay but be presented in a better way to be photographed and appeal). We felt happy that she showed respect for what we have, despite suggestions for improvement. This consultation was included as part of what the realtor offers us, but we can also choose to hire the stager (and her staff) to come on the day of the photography to do further "magic". Of course the extra service will be for a fee. We don't yet know what that fee is. If we don't want to pay it, we at least have notes on her suggestions from yesterday. What a learning experience!

I have been pushing myself physically, and to a lesser degree mentally, for several days now. I am exhausted! I do want to do a few things today, but will try to give myself some bit of a break. The stress and pressure are building. There is indeed some serious stuff in my life happening. Serious! There's no room for having a bipolar episode. I gotta keep that waaaaaaay in check.
