The prospective buyers called yesterday evening. They hadn't had a chance to look at my counter 'cause they spent the night at the hospital with their daughter (she's pregnant and they've put her on bed rest). They wanted me to know that they're still interested and asked for another day before they answer the counter. I told them that's fine. Hell, what am I supposed to say, "NO, it's now or never!"? I can barely breathe from the anticipation.
In other less stressful news, Lulu, our fat beagle mix, rolled in dead rat. It took 3 shampooings and some tomato juice to get the stink off of her. I went out and covered the rat with dirt. Knowing Lulu, she'll probably dig it up again tomorrow and we'll have to bathe her all over again. The upside here is that at least we know where the body is and it doesn't stink anymore.
Also, India's pet snake, Boppo, may finally have a ride down to Costa Rica. I'll know for sure by Friday. I really hope we can get him on a flight legitimately. If we can't, he's goin' down in my bra.
