Much Ado
By the way, if you’ll be reading this blog for any length of time, I should probably warn you that periodically a rant such as yesterday’s will be followed by a post saying something to the effect of, “Oh. Was that all?”
Ahem. Kind of like today’s. We cleaned, we fought, we panicked and in the end Jason and Jennifer came down, chatted for a few minutes about various things, accepted our rent cheque, and left. They didn’t have a copy of the rental agreement with them, and they didn’t look around. They were kind of nonplussed by our proposal to sign a lease as long as the rent was reduced by a specific amount, but that can’t be helped. We can’t lock ourselves in for another year at such an unreasonable rate. Hopefully they’ll decide the income security is worth the (very reasonable) reduction!
So now I’m excited again. I really love this apartment and I want to settle in for another year. If they say no, we’ll basically need to start looking around for another place since we’re really trying to be better stewards of our resources.
And that’s basically all that happened today. I lead such a thrilling life!

Well. sometimes “less is more”. Rather an auspicious beginning, one can hope, anyway! Hope it all works out for you, Pet!
