houses
mom and i decided to try to salvage the trip by staying at joe's and finding a new real estate agent. as opposed to driving 3 hours home again and back again another day. even though mom was gonna be away from her diabetes medication and wouldn't be able to eat. so the next agent we found on joe's refrigerator. she was young and hungry and drove a crappy car. she dropped everything she was doing to find us some houses. and actually took us to see some two dozen the next morning. she was great. we found two houses my mom really likes. yay! success. this is where a buddy of mine would exclaim, optimal route. yep.
