grannys gone and done it

[twisted-acres-farm]

Forgot to say I bought three boxes of strawberry starts at TSC.

Don't tell DH; he goes out and calls them dead plants walking. And I picked up a few yards of fabric... clearance stickers for the kids... sandpaper, that weathervane... Fun stuff for the most part.

SCORE my father would call it death row.

Sweet dreams Granny!

LONG weekend - Jethro went for a trial with a family that wanted him, he's coming back tomorrow morning as it was a no-go........they only had him for a few hours before they decided it wasn't right, guess they weren't as excited/commited as they said they were. Anyway, back to the drawing board on that. Sold my little coop - met a fabulous local lady who has recently become a chiken addict so in addition to the coop I think she is looking at buying several birds. Also sold 3 of my adult flock and have a solid lead on selling the rest of the flock as a lot. chicks should be here sometime in the next three days - then turn around and sell them off too.
DD got the job at the boarding stable she was interviewing for so we'll be moving Aero up there in the next couple of weeks and also taking the kids a load of household stuff for their new house at the farm. Also, in a strok of luck, the barn owner is looking for barn cats so they are very interested in having our barn cats move up there if need be.
Also - got an e-mail this evening from the folks out in Oregon we have been talking with about the job -- my heart sunk when I saw the preview as the first line read like the typical beginning of the "thanks but no thanks" you give people when you haven't chosen them (know that all too well from hiring/firing at work, I HATE that part) so I couldn't even bring myself to read it (this was in the midst of communicating with the family about Jethro and I was about to have an emtional breakdown as it was) so I made DH read it ---- turns out it wasn't hte kiss-off, they have rquested our references and information to do a background check - if that goes well we'll be flying out towards the end of the week for an in-person final interview/meeting. I had convinced myself our skype interview hadn't gone as well as we thought and we were out of the running and become somewhat depressed by today so this was a surprise -- now just keep waiting for something to happen to make it all fall apart (having a bit of an eyore day).
Really just seems EVERYTHING is in a state of "hurry up and wait" right now................UGH

Just hoping on to say goodnight to everyone. I'm gonna try to watch grease but the man just got home and kinda put a cabosh on it cause the all star game is on.. No worries I have discovery on. Been watching the Yukon men all day. Granny, kisses for your hatch... Spegetti is on the menu tonight again. Didn't get anything done cause I have so much stuff in the chest. Love you guys.

MARE how is your sister doing ????

Not great - on the upside she has lost a lot of weight (something she has struggled with) - the ridiculously restrictive diet she is on will do that for a person, lol, so she's feeling better about that at least and it is helping her overall health, but her kidneys are pretty much done for - supposed to be getting a shunt or port or whatever in preparation for dialysis soon, still getting my insurance stuff sorted out so I can get in and get testsed to see if I have it or not so if not we can look more into whether I'm eligible as a donor for her, her spirits are up and down, can't say I blame her for that.

I fell asleep again. I might as well go to bed

Bad memory. When I was a housewife with no kids I had BEAUTIFUL plants! It was a very short period of my life, but I keep trying. e
