We're going washer and dryer shopping tonight! I can't wait to get them!! The black friday sales are already in full force, which brings the units we were looking at down to about $700/ea. Then there is an additional discount from Home Depot, and then I have a couple coupons, and there might be...

Yes, FEM, I don't know how I keep up with it sometimes, either. But I just keep trucking along... @flowerbug I don't actually grow them right now, my tomato plants didn't grow at all, but it's probably because I didn't water them.... I tried pots, and that didn't really work. I'm not so great...

The weekend was BUSY, but we got some good stuff done! Saturday morning the BF worked, and I ended up with a spontaneous call with a client/friend to support her cat who is dealing with cancer. It went really well, and I think she's going to want some regular energy work for a little while to...

Yeahhh there is that, FEM. UGH. Another 3/4" yesterday. It looks like there is a pretty good amount still in the forecast scattered across several days. I think that it has shifted and it shouldn't be raining for my lesson, which is in the middle of the day on Saturday, thankfully. We'll see how...

Thanks FEM!! It was a really busy weekend. I did get the refund, and they sent me a little extra, which I'm totally ok with!! I FINALLY got the shipping update, but FedEx hasn't updated yet, which probably means they haven't actually picked up the package, which is rather annoying. At this...

Bummer!!

We got rain yesterday!!! It rained from mid morning through mid afternoon and we got about an inch and a half. Not bad at all. It mostly fell slowly, so it didn't create too much run off, which was a good thing. I'm feeling really grateful that it wasn't too much too fast. The temps have...

OH yes, it's SO great to look out the window and NOT see the shed. Now I can't wait to look out the window and NOT see the pile of dirt and weeds!!!! We're SO close! Yes, the fat pay check is so helpful! Of course, I got an email yesterday from Simplisafe that they're running a 50% off sale. :ep...

THE OLD SHED IS DOWN!!!!! :weee:weee:celebrate:celebrate:weee:weee I'm SO happy we got that done this weekend! It wasn't really the plan, but since the neighbor ended up working and we couldn't get any manure from them, we took advantage of the time and did that instead. Saturday we actually...

I tossed that just because it was a few days over the use by date already, and I just didn't want to risk it since I didn't have time to cook it, either, and that would have been the only way I would have wanted to freeze a bunch of it is if it was already cooked. So it goes. I did go back and...

Really irritated at myself. I bought a big pack of ground beef, and it says use or freeze by the 26th. And it's still in my fridge. The soonest I could cook it all would be tomorrow. I guess that's money down the drain (or to the dump as it were) :he:rant

Thanks FEM! I'm feeling much better today. A friend of mine recommended an additive for the neti pot nasal wash, and I happened to be by a store that sold it yesterday after work. I was exhausted by the time I left the office, and I needed to drop off a package at FedEx and then go put a deposit...

Yay progress! Seems like a lot of people are making progress lately!

@wyoDreamer yay on the tractor parts! It's so good to have nice people to work with! We'll actually use an aerator (or what they call a plug seeder) to push it down into the soil. I don't have animals here yet, the grass isn't worth crap, and there's not enough top soil to hold onto anything, so...

Tid bits of good news today! Called the septic company that did our inspection initially, and they only charge $265 for the pump out, which isn't bad at all. They're going to send their inspector on the truck to take a look at everything, but the lady said she doesn't think that there is a...

:yuckyuck Thanks ladies! It feels GREAT to have that checked off and DONE. I just picked up the check this morning from GH's when I went over to take care of the boys this morning. I got that in the bank, and have been looking over my budget. I think that I'll have about $500 to work with. I can...

We FINALLY got the work done!!! :weee Saturday morning we got up, and the BF went down to work to pick up a dump trailer (again), and I went to HR's to take care of the cats and ponies (again), and we met at TW's. I drove him back over to GH's to get the bobcat and drive it 3 driveways over, and...

Oh man, @wyoDreamer THAT SUCKS! And is really dangerous to boot! I'm glad he wasn't hurt and that's all the problem is. I hope they aren't too expensive, but it seems that everything with tractors gets expensive real quick. FEM similar issues here, except it won't go up! It sounds like you've...

Well, records turned out to be not worth anything. I'm sad for the guy that he came all the way, but at least now I know they're not worth anything. In the guy's words "the old man was whiter than white!" :lol: Apparently everything that he had was all very normal basic white people music, so...

:yuckyuck Thanks ladies! I'm relieved!! The BF got his workbench set up in the shed, so now there is a place to put things as we organize stuff, and a place to work on to get pieces set up to hang on the wall and things like that. So that's a tiny bit of progress! He also called the bank...
