Saturday (August 1): I got a bill from Kirby for work he did that I did not previously authorize. Apparently Flunky, the maintenance jerk took it upon himself to order Kirby to one of my homes on my behalf. Because Kirby gave me the frequent customer discount and I would have authorized it if they he had asked, I have not raised hell with Flunky. Yet.
Sunday: Some horrid hour before 8 a.m., the second mortgage company for the home in Pinson (the one with the charming wrap around porch) called us. I answered, said a few words that aren't intended for a family blog and then promptly went to church to beg for forgiveness.
Also Sunday, Ms. Angie wrote me a pretty creative e-mail explaining why rent would be a tad bit late. Apparently, her daughter had been arrested and the rent money was used for bail. Not once, mind you, but twice in 24 hours. Oh, and by the way, she "loves the home" and "is happy living there."
Monday: I had a long talk with Carolsue. We had not chatted in months. We didn't discuss anything related to Alabama, and it was a lot of fun to chat with an old friend.
Monday I also realized Mrs. Sherwood hadn't paid the rent.
In addition, Monday, Mr. Partner sent me an e-mail telling me one of of our mortgage companies wanted proof of insurance and could I handle that immediately, thankyouverymuch.
Tuesday: The Bigoted Ass
Wednesday: Marty Sunshine contacted the first mortgage company for the home in Pinson to find out what was going on with our deed in lieu of foreclosure. It turns out our representative, Naynay, hadn't done anything--including but not limited to--actually processing all of the papers we had sent to the mortgage company. Nor had Naynay returned my calls or e-mail. Anyway, when Marty called he was told our case was "closed" and Marty asked them to re-open it. We are now told a representative from the mortgage company is supposed to call Luigi's office to arrange access to this house. This particular representative called us once, leaving a message for Marty to call him back immediately. Marty has repeatedly called him back with no luck.
Thursday: Sometime when I wasn't looking, Mrs. Sherwood slipped the rent money into the bank account.
I also found out Thursday that I accidentally paid the second mortgage on the Pinson home through the bank's automatic bill payer option. For the record, this won't be a mistake I make again. However, sending one accidental gratuitous payment has not cut down the calls from the second mortgage payment one bit.
And finally, Friday (today): In the mail today was LegalOwl's bill. I believe there are third world nations with a smaller gross domestic product than what what our LLC owes her.

Angie's daughter was arrested TWICE? Was it the snippy always pregnant one that you and adore so much (did you get the sarcasm in that?)? So funny because I just commented on an old post of yours about Kathy not paying her rent one month (out of many) because she had to bail her brother out of jail. Remember that? Sorry but I'm not bailing a grown person out of jail with my rent money. Grown folks are supposed to know right from wrong and if they choose to do wrong...then they can choose to sit their butts in jail until court. But that's just me.
Why yes, that was the daughter who, bless her heart, thought it was hilarious when the "rich white lady" came to town and the potty broke in the middle of an inspection (and as you recall, to Ms. Angie's credit, she was mortified at her child's behavior--at least mortified in front of me).
Yea, I remember Kathy using the same excuse. You would think these people would get a little more creative with their "rent is going to be late this month" excuses. I can't tell you how many times one of my tenants had the same brother die and she had to pay for his funeral. I didn't realize funerals costed only $950.
