I live, write, and garden in the PNW with my husband of 27 years, disabled daughter, college-aged son, and my 84-year-old mother. We have paid off $250,000.00 worth of debt (if you include the interest) in the last fifteen years and as of 6/12/2020 are 100% DEBT FREE!!!!Please cross your fingers, toes, arms, legs, eyes, etc. for us that this person is serious about buying our house. They are looking for financing, so I certainly hope so. Couldn't hurt to throw a few prayers out there for us, too. This has been such a long process and I am so ready to be done with it. I know it could be even longer, but I can't help but have a wild hope that this will be it and we can finally get on with our lives and start seriously looking for our farm.
I can't wait to get out of here, yet at the same time I worry about Mom when we're gone. She fell yesterday but didn't bother to tell me until today. She hurt the knee she had replaced and its shaken her up a lot. Eldest Sister will still live nearby Mom and maybe even move in with her, so someone will be around, but Eldest Sister is kind of...self-involved about 70% of the time, so it may not be the best fit. I know Middle Sister will not do a thing to help. She never has. Self-absorbed would be an understatement for her.
We lost our oldest chicken today. Well, she died. She's not actually lost. That implies finding is possible. This was the last one from the first flock we raised. She was half pet/half livestock, so it was a little sad. But she'd been going downhill so I know it was for the best, poor girl.
Not much else going on. I screwed up my own knee again. Well, it is swollen and making me limp, but I don't know what I actually did, because there isn't one thing I can point to.
I also started a diet today. Well, I guess it was yesterday since it is after midnight now. DH bought a new scale and I didn't like the number on it at all. So back to eating better. Also I am off caffeine and have been for a week so that will help with all the water I had been retaining. I am basically confining high carbs to one meal a day and those carbs will be either fruit or veggies. Bread will be limited to twice a week. Other meals will be low carb veggies and protein. This is what works for me.
We cancelled our gym membership so I can't go swimming for exercise. I'm not sure what I'll do, but with my knee I can't do much, so the focus will have to be more on the food end of things. I am thinking about maybe going back to Curves when I get my strength back. It worked well for me. Our health insurance allows for us to get a discount at Curves. Hey, one good benefit from the world's worst medical insurance. Who'd a thunk it?

Prayers offered for a completed sale of your home.
That is so sad about your chicken. One of my sons loves his Bearded Dragon more than our family dogs.
