Happy Birthday Keri! :)

What I did yeserday.

Yee gads I am still tired and sore from yesterday! We got up just before 10:00 so we could go to the leasing office and renew for another year. Normally our rate goes up $10 a year but this year it went up $15, except they have this incentive program if you renew early you get a break on the renewal rate. So by us renewing yesterday (the last day for this break) we saved $10 off the original $15 a month extra. So starting in August our rate will only go up by $5 instead of $10 or $15. They did not do that in the past so it was pretty cool. One of these days I really want to move to the back of the complex to the 2 bedroom/2 1/2 bath townhouses. The porch and upstairs balcony in the back overlook a lush tree-filled area. It is really beautiful. I mean, our complex is part of a wildlife preserve. And there are w/d hookups in the closet under the stairs so no more paying for it and hauling our stuff to the laundry facility! But anyhow, I don't think Chas and I can afford it on our own just yet, and it is smaller and one room shorter than our current apartment (but about the same price) so I don't know if we could squeeze Chas' office and our current roommate in at the same time. Something to think about. I suppose there is no harm in taking another look at the layout and space again now that we know what we need. We saw a 2 bedroom/1 1/2 bath unit when we first moved in here, but ended up with a 3 bedroom apartment instead, and that was 3 years ago. Oh well.

( Anyhow, after the lease stuff... )
