My house is under contract with a closing date of June 23. Unless something happens between now and then to convince the new folks to pull out, it will sell and I'll need to move out upon signing the paperwork (as in "same day ( Read more... )

The house has been on the market for a while now. I'm not sure what it is that would get it sold, but whatever it is, I've not managed it yet.

Part of me doesn't care anymore.

I've not had much to say in here lately, have I?

Last month, I entered my first horse race in the world of endurance. Well, actually it was what's termed a "limited distance" ride at 25 miles, but it was our first official foray into the sport and our longest ride ever, so to us it was an endurance ride.

My dream of running another 50K is once again dashed by my ankle. The right one, this time. I've been having trouble with it, but this past week it really got nasty, stopping me 15 minutes into a 1hr run. I wound up limping back to the house on Wednesday and grumbling to myself about it. I've had my entry in the race demoted to the 25K option, ( Read more... )

So, I've been keeping a light eye on the house market for a horse ready place to move to. It would need some pasture, at least a 3 stall barn and a house worth living in. I saw two in the area that fit the bill and spoke to a finance guru to run numbers based on that price and the expected list price of my current home ( Read more... )
