The receipt I have from when I moved in has a breakdown of charges. It says we paid $584 in prorated rent for moving in a little early, and on the line for "security deposit" it says we paid $500. I wrote a check, noted as #1199, for $1184… so maybe the extra $100 IS our security deposit, and they applied that $500 towards the cost of first month's rent or something? IDK, but $500 would really be helpful in offsetting the cost of any damages.

Last night before making dinner, I found a ROACH on the range hood I just bleached a couple of days ago. This morning, Rocky helped me catch a MOUSE in the kitchen. As you can imagine, I am NOT HAPPY, and the office will be hearing from me as soon as it opens!!! I hate this ****ing place! I am so happy we're moving! But I don't want to bring roaches with us… In the past, we had problems with a roach or two here and there because of a neighbor's problem, and when they finally sprayed, it took care of the problem. I'm going to ask them to just spray straight away. I don't want to mess around.

Rocky had an absolute blast… you just can't buy cat toys that are as fun for them as live mice. Don't worry, I caught it before any real harm was done to it, and I set it free outside on the grass, far away from our patio.

I have to double bleach the kitchen floor now because a rodent has been running all over it… disgusting.

oh Heavens!

I do not know which would be worse, rodents or roaches.
So glad I have not seen them for a while.


UGH. Good luck, Kay

I called the office yesterday morning about the roach and mouse, and my call got directed to the "off-site leasing office." I have not had good luck with leaving messages with them in the past, and when I received an email notice from them about my maintenance request all it said was "Utility Closet/Misc."

I was not satisfied.

I called back multiple times until I got a girl at our local office. I was very polite, but I wanted to make sure that they knew EXACTLY what had happened, and how concerned I was. About 5 minutes later, I got an email saying they had scheduled an appointment with pest control for July 11th. The email contained instructions including emptying all the cabinets in the kitchen and below the kitchen and bathroom sinks before they come, so it's like I'll be packing twice, but it's for a good cause, and it will give me the opportunity to clean inside the cabinets. The cats can stay as long as they are locked up in a bedroom. I want to be here when they come, because I want to make sure they SPRAY.

I wanted to sweep and vacuum the cat room walls this morning, but it just wasn't realistic because there were too few hours this morning to keep the windows open. I chose to do laundry instead. I got lucky and got into the laundry room first this morning :)

I never got to bleaching the kitchen floor yesterday. It's been bothering me, but I just couldn't go on and had to lay down for an early nap. As soon as my laundry is folded, I will be doing that today.

I did not decrease my gabapentin back down to 300mg last week as I planned, but I did when I filled my pill case yesterday. Hopefully, I will have a little more energy and I won't be taking 4-6 hour naps as often.

what a way to spend a birthday!

Right Bobby? lol

All I know is they're coming between 9am-4pm, so it's kinda hard to make plans. I have to leave for a couple of hours after they spray, so maybe I will take a trip to the nearby outlets. We're burning the last of our Yankee Candles now, and it would be nice to have some for our new apartment (without breaking the bank).

It's going to be cool for several more hours, so I can keep the windows open for a while. I'm going to take advantage of this rare opportunity to finally sweep the walls in the cat room. Instead of moving crap into the middle of the room, and having to work around it, I'm going to move most of it out of there. I want to vacuum the walls, too. I don't want to skip that step because I think it will be very helpful, but I have to wait until my husband wakes up to do that… whenever that is.

Once the dust clears, I will be free to wash the walls whenever I'm ready. It would be nice to have the window in there open when I do it, but it's not necessary.

do you know both my aides don't even use my vacuum cleaner? lol- Marcia says she has asthma and I put the v.c. out for alicia the first day and she put it back in the closet.
I am not very assertive.I think you would be horrified.

I knew someone who hated the sound of them.


But you would think that out of the two of them, one could freaking
vaccuum.
