Yesterday I sent Ms. Angie a text that basically said, "Let me know rent is coming on time and for the love of all that is good and just you aren't in jail again." Ok, I only sent the first clause, but the second part of that sentence was implied.
And then I heard nothing.
This morning I sent a text saying, "I didn't hear from you yesterday and that is not a good sign. I am not in the mood for surprises. Please tell me rent will be on time." And yes, I sent that one in its entirety.
To her credit, Ms. Angie did reply. Apparently she is not in jail. She let me know rent was coming. On time.
Mrs. Sherwood also sent me a text today telling me she wants to collect on the offer I made with her months earlier when our accidental business looked a bit brighter. She wants new flooring in the kitchen. I had agreed to pay half of the new flooring costs.
I certainly can't blame her for wanting this change. Her current kitchen flooring is from another era. And it is rather ugly yellow and brown patterned carpet that has no business in the kitchen. Even casino carpeting is more attractive.
Mrs. Sherwood has also been in my home since 2007 and doesn't seem to be interested in leaving any time soon. That's a good thing, because I will take a $300 rent reduction if I have to lease this place out again. Besides, she takes great care of the house. I am happy to hold up my end of the bargain once I get rid of these crazy vacancies.
