So, the landlord never did call, even though the real estate agent told him to. Hubby finally emailed (email is better, we then have a written record), and the landlord's response was "y'all can call me." And then he left the wrong phone number.
Not promising.
Luckily, hubby had the landlord's number in his phone, so he called. And left a message. Because the landlord wasn't picking up. And then, a few hours later, he called again. Left another message.
The landlord finally called back around 9 p.m.
Says we must be out by August 31st. Says we're "the best tenants" he's ever had. Says we've taken great care of the place. Says he really likes what we've done with it. Says that, if he can't get the place sold by next summer, he'll let them foreclose.
He'll let them foreclose, but he won't let us stay. Because we're the best tenants he's ever had.
Okay.
We still don't have the money to move. Thought maybe we did, but it looks like it's fallen through. The person who made the offer has gone silent, and isn't answering messages. We had one pair of friends come through in a pretty big way, but we'll still be drastically short. So it may be back to the "crowdfunding" idea. As much it shames me.
Speaking of Amazon, they have a promotion right now--a thirty day free trial of Amazon Prime. Amazon Prime doesn't just give you free 2-day shipping on most things, it also opens up a whole slew of movies and TV series for free streaming. If you've been wishing you'd caught Deadwood, The Wire, or the latest Star Trek Movie, it's on Prime. And yes, I get two dollars per sign-up. But here's the thing--that's per FREE TRIAL sign-up. You don't have to order Prime, you don't even have to stick with it for the entire 30 days (though you may as well--free stuff, right?). All you need to do is sign up through the following link. It's a heck of a deal, and you know what? Amazon Prime might just be something you want to stick with!

On a brighter note, SEVEN people have ordered through my Amazon affiliate link! In just a few days! That's almost eight bucks. I know, that doesn't sound like much, but I'm really excited! So if you're looking to order from Amazon anyway, please use my link! Here it is again (family and folks I've had dinner with? That's a no-go, Amazon doesn't want "personal" orders through my links):

And that's all of that. I actually hate doing this, I've never been good at self-promotion of this sort, but we are in dire circumstances. Anything helps. Anything.
