Earlier in the month i made the decision to walk away from purchasing the house here in south philly. it wasn't that i was really going to walk away from buying it, basically it was a sales ploy to get the sellers to stop trying to nickel and dime me for more money.. the whole thing with buying this house is pretty much a clusterf-ck anyway. it's a divorce sale, so i think the husband and wife are spiting each other over the sale of it. he wants out, she wants to stay (with her new live-in boyfriend in her ex-husband's parents house). On Tuesday, i got a call from Brian (my realtor) saying that the listing agent contacted him to let him know that the sellers were going to court on friday (today) and that he wanted to present a sale to them, so brian and i met yesterday at the gleaners for coffee and to sign a new dated contract. The contract expired today at midnight which we were hoping would be a stimulus to the court appointed judge to sign off on the sale, and after signing the papers i just had to wait another 24 hours for an answer.
Last night i had some pretty crazy dreams... i dreamt that my next door neighbor (who is crazy and who i've had to call the police on before for threatening me) saw me washing my car and came over to talk to me, but he was drunk and was slurring his speech and being overly nice to me (which has never happened before). it made me nervous... like when a drunk guy persistantly hits on you in a bar and you feel trapped... that's the way this guy makes me feel in waking life sometimes... i'll be glad to get the fuck away from him. the other dream i had was a more positive one. i dreamt that i was sitting at the gleaners having coffee and that the phone rang and brain capone called to say it was a done deal. That's pretty much exactly how it happened today. i was at the gleaners, brian called, "done deal". now all i have to do is wait until june 17th for the closing.
Apparently the woman didn't even show up to court today having feigned some trip to the emergency room (which i understand she has done before) to try to stave off the sale of the house... it wasn't a smart idea, because the judge signed over the order instantaneously. she should have gone and at the very least pleaded her case. nevertheless, i'm not getting my hopes up, because it's not a done deal until the keys are in my hands.
anyway.. here is a photograph of my charming windowsill garden...
Your little garden looks beautiful. How are you feeling? I took a 4 day week-end for some much needed R&R. Feeling slightly recovered. I took off work tomorrow. Want to have coffee? I would L-O-V-E to show you my garden. I just purchased new patio furniture and painted. Hope you are well. Cheers! X
