Since it looks like it will be about a week before we are able to close on the house I sort of snuck in some ebay auctions last night.
I put up 7 auctions for small items that can be transported to the new house if the buyer ends up being late to pay and I cant mail the item out immediately.
It seems rather ridiculous because my 2009 resolution was to not spend any money earned off ebay this year- so who really cares if I have any auctions running now or 3 months from now?
But I'm feeling panicky. I'm on edge. We have almost no money coming in right now and all our savings accounts will soon have a zero balance. So even though the money cannot be spent- it's a nice feeling to look at one bank account and see a growing balance.
And so far I have $50 in bids on the 7 items!
I never signed up for the ebay challenge because I knew my ebay would be halted for the move and finding a job...but so far I have met the goals anyways.

Good job with the sales. And good luck with moving. That's a royal pain in the butt. I dread the day we have to move. Hopefully, I'll be old and senile by then.

Deep breaths on the moving and money panic.
You'll find your way!
