• nest

   When I came home from my walk last night there was a notice on my door saying that our rental company would be showing our apartment to someone tomorrow(today).  I thought, WTH!  We still have time to decide about our renewal.  So I looked at the notice they gave us.  It lists different deadlines for renewal with how much you can save on next month's rent, like by Dec. 31 save $100, by Jan 31 save $75, etc etc etc.  Then in small print at the bottom it says, if you have specialty floor plan the deadline is Jan 2.  Ooooooops. 

   I immediately freaked out, drank a very ill-advised amount of liquor and started to "find" our future house using all 3 realty websites that I know.  Then Kyohei got home and we tried to decide if we should fight them and renew or take it as a sign that God is pushing us out of the nest and it is time to buy a house. 

  I think our current plan of attack is to go to the office at 10am when they open, pretend that we never got any notice and act outraged.  To by fare, in previous years I got multiple signs on our door, emails and phone calls.  They totally buried the lead here. 

  Maybe that will buy us some time. Stay tuned.
