So far this weekend the following fun and interesting things have occurred:
1. Real Estate deal fell through. No house for Sam and Mr. Sam. Well...not unless seller of house drops the price by ~$10,000, since it was misrepresented as a four bedroom house, when it has (follow me carefully here, this is difficult)
three legal bedrooms. Three != Four, people.
2. One of Sam's friends and/or relations went crazy. Literally.
3. Not to be outdone by Sam's friends and relations, Mr. Sam's mother got sick(er)... in the beginnings-of-heart attack sort of way. I know in-laws are often competitive, but really...
4. Agent #1, who has Sam's partial, has not responded. Agent #1 says he tries to respond within six weeks *at most* of receiving partial. It has been over thirteen.
5. Agents #2-3, who have queries, have also not responded.
6. Sam has done diddly/squat work towards her PhD qualifying exam this weekend. Sam's work computer has decided that it is fun and interesting thing to crash two or three times a week. This makes working on a major document more than a little nerve-wracking. And people, this computer is only a year old. And it's a mac. Macs aren't supposed to suck.
On the other hand, Sam's environmentally friendly, organic, low carbon footprint and [insert your buzzword of choice here] is growing nicely. There are lots of tomatoes. There are peppers. There are baby courgettes (sorry folks, I can never spell zuchinininini, so I'll stick with the franco-british word from here on out). There are even ground cherries, which should be interesting. Miserably humid weather + rain = happy plants.
