Updates and life garbage

Memphis:

He is doing much better. Fever broke late last week. He is still coughing some but when I saw him Saturday he at least looked a little happier. He even snuggled with me, how freaking flipping sweet is that? Now before the nonhorsey people go "How do you snuggle with a 1k lb animal?" He sticks his head in your chest, holds it there, and lets you just stroke his face. It's totally sweet and totally melts a horsey person's heart. I'm so happy that I did not sell him. I'm so beyond happy.

Life:

Well, we were looking for land earlier this month because I figured that we would have our savings up and running by the end of this month. HA! (<--- notice the sarcasm laughter here! ) I stocked up at Costco yesterday for the month ($$$$) and now we have to get tires on the Escort ($$$$$). I'm driving a Cadillac right now ($$$$) and calculated that the money I am putting in this thing for gas could buy me the tires by the end of the month. Escort = 32-35 mpg ..... Cadillac = 18-20 mpg... That's a huge jump for a crony like me!

So land is put off for a moment. Probably until Jan of next year. Which I'm really ok with although a small part of me says that I should buy before elections this year... but we'll see. Got property taxes coming up at the end of November that I need to start saving for NOW. I can't wait to move out of this expensive ass city. MOVE MOVE MOVE

I also don't see myself getting a horse trailer for a long time. Sigh. The kiddo has kinda screwed up the money thing for us.... She's cute though.
