unfortunately, it's a figurative weight

The house sale funded this afternoon, and it is officially someone else's property now. I think if it hadn't taken so long to sell and then to close, I would have mixed feelings about this--first house I ever owned and all that. Since it's a "finally!" kind of situation, though, all I can feel is relief. Like a 1000-lb. weight has been lifted from my shoulders, baby. I'm FREEEEEEE!

Congratulations! I'm sure finally getting this done is a huge relief!
