Someone please make me stop...real estate lunacy

My husband and I have made the big decision to sell our home and move all the way across the country. Now that the weather warmed up at last, the first showings are finally happening.

For the past two months I have done nothing but drywall, paint, clean, declutter, etcetera etcetera...and I can't seem to stop. Every time I sit down for two minutes I see something else that needs straightening, cleaning, painting and I leap to my feet...I spent most of the past three days clutching a ladder or leaning out a two-story window with a paintbrush in my hand...and I'm deathly afraid of heights. Every part of my aging body hurts right now.

When do you say enough and how do I get off this hamster wheel? It seems like without booze (5 months!) I don't know how to relax at all until I'm a wreck.

Anyone else obsessing now that you're sober?
