The governor in MD just announced restaurants closing. I'm rather glad because I don't want to know how many stupid people would go out and party for the holiday tomorrow despite all the warnings. The biggest problem are the younger set thinking their invincible and not recognizing the impact...

Thanks, yall! Yes he's slowly figuring out that it's a LOT easier to do it NOW and take care of it than it is to wait! I'm so relieved!! OMG Yall. Friday I went to the grocery store and BJ's. That was AWFUL. BJ's was OUT of EVERYTHING. No bread, pasta, sauce, butter, sour cream, or frozen...

Well, yesterday didn't go as planned... If yall have been hanging around long enough you know that the BF has had phobia of going to the dentist. I'm SO super proud of him right now! He started feeling some tooth pain over the weekend, and it hadn't subsided, so he asked me to call and see when...

I'm thinking by the end of the month, FEM. I'm not really happy about a few things about it, namely that it's going to cost me $50 more per month than I'm already paying. That's a HUGE stretch for my budget. I do have a couple more phone numbers to call today that came from my accountant, so...

Thanks, FEM! I had a meeting with MR from the new barn yesterday to discuss some of the options in a little bit more detail. I realized in thinking through the layout that it was going to be much more challenging to manage than I think she realized. There is a fairly flat pasture that is...

The weekend was good. Last week kind of stunk feeding in the evenings, though it did mean I could get up way more relaxed on Friday morning which was nice! The weather was AWFUL on Thursday and only slightly better on Friday - both days were pretty bitter cold and WINDY. Like windy to the point...

Thanks yall!! I'm supposed to have a meeting with my boss some time today, but I'm not going to hold my breath. He didn't give me a time yesterday, and I'm in the other office today by myself, and he is planning on going to the main office today, but he didn't give me a time for that, either. He...

Thanks, FEM! I don't know what we'll do right now, at this point it's a bit of a wait and see kind of thing. WHEW. I made the payment on my one credit card with my tax refund money and it's PAID OFF. That is exciting and makes me nervous all at the same time. I'm worried that I've paid too much...

Yeahhh.... we're down to very little hot water right now. I can barely take a bath and rinse off afterwards with any hot water. Not fun. Our neighbor came over for dinner on Saturday night and really wants to help us install a combination unit. He works for an HVAC company, so he can do it, but...

So the BF's high school friend came over last night and we chatted for way too long about the water heater and all stuff house. He was really nice and very helpful. So we've come to the conclusion that a tankless is not for us. It's just the 2 of us, and occasional guests, so our demand isn't...

The BF and I talked more about the hot water heater last night. I didn't realize that a tankless would need both an intake and an exhaust to the outside, which we don't have right now, obviously, so that is something additional to consider. He has a friend that is a plumber that's going to come...

Thanks @wyoDreamer That's too funny about the tractor. Yeah, I'm not allowed to drive the pickup truck right now, which is annoying. I mean I don't want to drive it if it's going to be fussy and difficult... but by the same token it sure would be nice if I could drive it because then I wouldn't...

Yup, FEM, it just keeps on raining. @flowerbug our only worry with doing this is that it will be SO clogged that it won't drain, and then we'll have to replace it anyway. I have no idea how old it is, but it's OLD, as is everything in this house, and the BF learned very quickly not to touch...

Treats are always good! LOL Thanks FEM! I plan to buy a Berkey water filter with some of my tax money, but we'll see how much I get back. We were showering last night and have noticed that the hot water heater doesn't seem to be heating as much hot water... so I'm afraid it's going to need to...

I'm glad I've inspired you! And perfect timing since you've got the onions! I think she will pro-rate it, it's just a question of whether or not she makes me pay for the whole month and then attempts to refund me (NOT how I would prefer to do this...) or if she'll let me just pay her once I know...

Oh, it was really good, FEM! I'm still not totally a fan, I wouldn't go out of my way to order it somewhere. We did put Gruyere on it, and some mozzarella. We made garlic bread, the BF melted butter and mixed garlic powder with it, brushed that over the bread and then we sprinkled parm-romano...

Thanks, FEM!! I'm SO ready to get Storm moved. I love TM, she's a wonderful person, and a great friend, but dang she drives me batty as a barn manager. This morning I rolled into the barn a few minutes after 6. She knows I get there early, and she usually comes up with her son to drop feed...

Yesterday I did feeding/turnout and chores at the new farm again. Once the morning feeder gal and I were finished, I started on chores and worked for a little while alone. CD came back and asked if I could help getting a round bale into the field, and I of course told her yes. We started on the...

Thanks, FEM! I am finally feeling better! And yes, I ain't got time for that crap! I'm feeling about 90% better at this point, probably mostly thanks to the kenisio tape on my back and laying on the floor in constructive rest (knees and hips at 90 degrees, with a few thin books under my head for...

Today it's a bit better, though sitting is not my friend I am learning. I probably should have just worked from home today instead of coming into the office, but oh well. I did bring my ice pack and my heating pad so that I can alternate throughout the day. I'm also in the office that no one...
