Blinking in Disbelief

Unremarkable series of events:

1) Our growing family begins to take steps toward listing our house.

2) In order to get a head start on the process, I enlist the help of my mom to clean, organize, pack, and stage it for showing.

3) At my mom's suggestion, I roll up a large rug to make the living room look bigger, and stow the rolled-up rug in the nice, organized basement.

While looking for a roll of paper towel in the basement this evening, I allowed myself to be distracted by my nice new freezer, waiting for my quarter cow, now home to various hand-picked berries, home-grown herbs, homemade pies and breads, and over 50 bags of breastmilk.


At room temperature.


Next to the outlet and a dangling plug is a bulky rolled rug.
