Between my arm and my neck I was a wreck yesterday, but I woke up this morning feeling much better. I'd been alternating 800mg of Advil and 1000mg of Tylenol consistently. I hate doing that... hate taking either, but I'm sure it helped. I won't be taking anything anymore.

I'll resume light cleaning as tolerated.

We have to submit a form to our current apartment management company by June 1st (Thursday) to tell them we will be moving Aug. 1st. At the bottom of the letter it just says, " Our staff will be conducting a pre-move out inspection of your apartment on Monday." It doesn't say which Monday, but I assume they mean the Monday after we give them the letter. I don't know how they can properly/fairly assess any damage before we are able to move out the furniture and clean the apartment, and how that will effect any reference another landlord asks for, especially if we dispute their assessment or bill...

I'm going to submit the form on Wednesday, and I'm going to have to make sure that the apartment is very clean before the following Monday when I expect they will be coming. There are a couple of little things on that "moving-soon list" that will need to be done. I have half a mind to rent a REAL carpet cleaner (we have a crappy little one that does nothing) before they come even though they may be replacing the rug anyway due to wear and tear and/or smoke damage. This is a new idea I haven't run by my husband yet.

I'm not happy with this situation. I have a feeling that these people are going to be ***holes, and are going to try to stick us with a big bill. Otherwise, why do this 60 days before tenants move out? I will pay for the smoke damage, provided the fee they ask for is reasonable. I just need to do some research on what is involved, and what IS considered reasonable. I will take the rest, and do the research on it, as it comes.

More stress, and more physical demands, on the horizon for me soon.
