hello, hurricane/tropical storm hillary

i think the now-hurricane, soon-tropical storm hillary heading for california is being chatted about nationally because we haven't had something this weird happen since 1939. it was odd watching an online news source from minnesconsin mention it in their news. 

where i am, we're expected to get close to 4" of rain sunday — it seems to be spread out, which is what's important — it's when we get the massive dumps in short periods of time that mudslides become a bigger issue. we're hoping there's no flooding since the horses are on the valley floor, but all we can do is keep an eye on things. 

south of where i am, things have the potential to be much worse. some san bernadino mountain communities have already had evac warnings, but maybe that's just out of an abundance of caution. i hope so.

the move continues forward. in theory, we could actually be in minnesconsin this time next month! o.O crazy! 

we still don't have this place on the market, but hopefully this week. fingers crossed on that one. even though i have zero desire to schedule my life around showings, i need to get on it and just suck it up and do it. bleh. 

it looks like we're not going to take our horse trailer out — the new plan is to sell it and just get a new one out there. we need a warmblood size (much taller horses than normal sized...and often chunkier, but not always)....so i THINK this is a good idea. hard to tell since everything about this move is a jumble in my head for the most part.
