Hello Lovelies.

Sorry I ghosted you all this past week. Life has gone from 0 to 90 miles an hour in a blink and I haven’t quite caught my breath yet.

First of all, I start my new job TODAY. I’ve been doing onboarding from home, which has pointed out what a terrible packer I am. All of my work clothes are in the way back of storage where I can’t access them. My important paperwork is in the safe, in the way back of storage where it can’t be reached. I somehow remembered to pull my husband and the kids’ stuff and transfer it to the fire box, but I guess I don’t exist in my own mind. I’ve had to order a new birth certificate, buy clothes and brush up on my excel skills.

Because of this new job, my husband and I discussed pulling our house off the market. We only had 10 days left of our realtor contract, so we didn’t figure it would sell anyway. We were wrong. We’ve received a cash offer for exactly what our asking price is. The catch is that we have a little over a month to move.

As you can imagine, I was already a little high strung on Saturday when all the kids came over for my eldest’s birthday. Everything was going great. We were laughing and making plans to visit my youngest son at college. Then the birthday boy mentioned that he had been having episodes with his heart. By episodes he meant that he feels like his heart is racing and the vein above his heart starts jumping to the point where I could see it through his shirt.

We went to the emergency room. They hooked him up to telemetry and did an EKG. Luckily what they found isn’t life threatening, but it does require a referral to a cardiologist. He will have to wear a halter monitor for a couple weeks and get an echocardiogram before we know more.

I know I asked for a sign about whether we should stay in Michigan or move, but a kid with heart issues was not what I had in mind. I guess I need to be more specific and tell the universe to help me find the perfect house next time.

Sending love and prayers to you all.
