the sale

the yard sale went so well that i am too tired to say much about it. we started working at 6am and went until almost 4pm. the house feels emptier, which is so relieving. stuff weighs on you.

also, after the sale in the evening, a guy drove by, turned around, parked and asked if we were going to sell the house. he seemed very interested, and he seemed like a really nice guy. he used to own a funeral home in town, and i think he's really sick now. there was an article in the paper about him having to sell the business now that he is facing his own mortality. which is very depressing even though i only just met him. i want him to buy this house and live happily in it for a long time. i want him to get better and enjoy it. it seems kind of silly after such a brief interaction, but i want him to fulfill his dream of having this house and i want the comfort of selling it to someone who will appreciate it and make this their home.
