covid is still out there?

first — and perhaps most importantly — put your bra on. {there are so many little lines in her that just cracked me up.}

there's a lot to write about, but i'm going to bullet point a few things just to keep myself from reaching the lj character limit:

— we were all exposed to covid cooties on saturday. the second i found out, i went from feeling fine to deciding i had it. *sigh* we'll be in the clear tomorrow afternoon and i can go back to always thinking i have dengue fever when i cough. 

— the new place we were looking at is a go. offer was put in and accepted. closing date is established with NO contingencies. because the price of the house is a little less and it's a FSBO, we're saving a nothing-to-sneeze-at amount on down and closing. 

i could talk about what i don't like/love, but we've established that nothing short of a custom build is going to be my barbie dream house, so why bother? the good is that it has a clean inspection, it's very well maintained with upgrades i appreciate, and has some nice riding opportunities on and around the property. unlike previous place, we can move in and not have to worry about fixing anything at all. well, we do have to put up handrails for downstairs and add a fence, but that's it. 

we may be able to use one of the existing outbuildings as a barn, which will reduce the necessity of having to buy a barn kit. those spendy, yo. it all is moving toward getting my little farm up and going on schedule, and i like that.

anonymous joy

awhile back, an lj friend and i parted ways less than amicably, but with no animosity (at least on my part). i wanted to reach out to say how happy i was that the changes they had been reaching for had finally happened and that i wished for them nothing but joy in the future, but they are set up for no messages from non friends. 

so i just sent out a burst of goodwill toward them and hope they felt it. ;) it was a huge burst, so i bet they did.
