I didn't think we paid a security deposit, but I guess we paid $99… big whoop. I'm sure they will try to get us to pay for smoke damage (they treat the walls before/when they repaint and replace the carpet). I don't know how much that would cost us. The cats also peed in the spare bedroom and I can't get it all up, although I will be trying to do a better job before we leave. If we move in the middle of July, the extra time will definitely help with that. The carpet should have been replaced before we moved in, and it is REALLY worn down now. If they give me a hard time, I will want to see records of when the carpet was last replaced. I expect them to take into account the wear and tear from 7 1/2 years we have lived here. I don't think I will pay for any carpet replacement fees because of that, maybe only the carpet in the "cat room." There is no other damage to the apartment aside from wear and tear, lingering water damage and poorly executed/unfinished repairs by and lack of attention from their maintenance staff. The place is a ****hole and it's not our fault. I will clean well, but I can't do anything about that. Maybe they will try to get us for something else? IDK. I don't have to be nasty, but I can be quite firm and unpleasant when I have to be. They could try to sue, but they would not fare well in court since we've been here so long.

The potential new place has two different complexes. One site has one building with apartments with balconies that overlook the river (they all have balconies tho), and those are the most expensive ones and they are $50 less than we are paying now including heat and hot water. We don't have a preference about which complex we move to. I think the apartments are the same, the complexes are fairly close together, and my husband's commute would be pretty much the same either way.

I made those brownies again. It took me half the time to make the batter because I'm familiar with the recipe now, and they came out better this time (more cocoa powder). The baking was relaxing. I split the 13X9" recipe into two 8X8" pans… one for us, one for my MIL. Hopefully she will be pleased. I bought a bow to go on top, but Rocky got into the bag and found it, and ate half of it, so no bow lol. She's a breast cancer survivor and there's a cancer walk every year where there's a family picture taken. I had 6 years of those pictures printed on a mug. I know she will love that.

I bought coin wrappers at Staples yesterday ($5 coupon) and sat down in the living room last night to sort through and roll up the change in our Poland Springs jug. That was a nice distraction. Everything is rolled ($207 so far) but the pennies. There's a HUGE pile of them still sitting in the middle of the living room floor lol. Hopefully I will get to those today…

I didn't take a nap. I don't get to spend a lot of time with my husband because I sleep so much, and he will be gone for a while tomorrow because he will be out with his mother. I got pretty testy because I was so tired though so I tried to not too talk too much.

My anxiety was high in the morning, but got much better later in the day, obviously because I was distracting myself. So, I just need to do more of that when I have some energy.

I've been having diarrhea because of my nerves. It's a nice change from not being able to go to the BR at all I guess, but I've lost about 3 1/2 pounds. I assume that's because I was backed up. I will be careful I don't lose too much though.
