Indecisive

I'm usually a really decisive person.
I form hypotheses.
I gather data.
I examine the evidence.
I form preliminary opinions.
I do a gut-check.
I make the decision.
I move forward with putting it into action.
Done.

Easy-breezy, no?

NO!

At least, not lately....

For some reason, I have been going back and forth about selling my condo for months. MONTHS. Actually, for years. I know that my family is sick of hearing about it and my friends have just started to laugh at me about it. But I seriously CANNOT make a decision about this.

This started clear back when I was first divorced. Do I stay or do I move? I decided to stay put because I had a brand new baby and was way too overloaded to even consider buying and selling.

Then, about every four months, like clockwork, I would get the itch to move. I'd consider it, find a reason to stay put, and move on.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

Then I thought I was getting married, so here it was...my answer. I definitely needed to sell in that case, so up on the market it went.

And then I wasn't getting married, so down off the market it came.

And then I decided to move anyway, so up it went again.

And then I decided not to, so down it came again.

And then the listing contract ran out, so it has stayed off the market for a little while.

And then a neighbor expressed some interest in it, so I started thinking that maybe I should sell.

And then I talked myself out of it, because I love my location - my work, my kiddos daycare, my gym, my church, great neighbors, my favorite sushi place...all within a few miles of my house. Plus, I like my condo, it's very "me" with the yellow wall and cheerful vibe...I don't want to sell, right?

And then a real estate agent sent me a bunch of listings for adorable, affordable places that are close to where I am now...maybe i do want to sell.

Oh, but it's almost winter and I don't want to deal with it in winter, plus I have a million things to worry about right now...I don't want to sell.

I'm driving myself nuts. I can't keep having this same conversation with myself. I really need to make a decision and stick with it, but honestly...I can't seem to do it with this particular topic. I usually love being single and being able to make these types of big-deal, lifestyle decisions by myself, but for this one...I just want someone to tell me what to do.

AAAAAAaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!?!

Why is it so hard?

What do you do when you can't make a decision.

Yeesh....
