Their Lucky Day

I caved. Actually, it was a "sound business decision" according to my dear husband. But, it really boiled down to this: half a loaf of bread is better than nothing. And, as far as I was concerned, I already have enough major priorities this month. They can wait until August.

So, I made a deal with the Smiths. It required me to waste a good portion of my monthly allocation of cell minutes and two hours of my life I will never get back hearing the long drawn out saga. That boiled down to: come Tuesday, there will be a check for half of what they owe me on my doorstep. If not, I will just kick them out anyway.

But, here's the secret: I wouldn't have moved forward with foreclosing any sooner than Tuesday anyway.
