Update

So....I haven't written in here in a while. There's a reason for that. I haven't felt the need. This is a venting blog, and I have either come to terms with things or I have found a person to vent to.
I do however want to update you on things going on.
In my house we had an interesting roommate...she moved in for about a month or so and right from the beginning wasn't sure of her permanence with us. She had stated to one friend that she wasn't sure if she would stay past June. So for the entire time she lived with us P.R. tried to find out if she planned to stay with us or not, because honestly, we needed to know. We shall call this roommate, Nomad, I think the name is fitting.
So P.R. and Nomad were locked in an everlasting battle of question and avoidance. Nomad turned out to be a liar too. I cannot reveal much detail about all of this because having the den as my bedroom I spent much time down there and never really interacted with Nomad. I have a pretty good sixth sense on when to avoid people, and an even sharper one on who to avoid. I have always gotten the "avoid" vibe from Nomad, long before she moved in.
Anyway, S.F.H.B. graduated and moved home and try as we might we were unable to find a new roommate to take her place. This meant that come June 1st we were all responsible for $100 more on rent. So, P.R. did the only thing she could do, she wrote a note to Nomad - we would have said something in person, but Nomad was rarely there. The note stated that when rent was due it would be $100 extra due to the lack of a fourth roommate. It also had a few housekeeping items on there. On Sunday night (May 24th) P.R. received her own note, Nomad informed her that she would be out by the 1st. So, instead of rent being $100 more for each of us, P.R. and I were now responsible for half each.
And I was leaving to go out of town that Wednesday. Therefore P.R. and I communicated via e-mail of what was going on. Nomad was completely gone by the evening of the 30th, our landlady is crazy - P.R. explained the situation to her and she wanted us to pay a new deposit when we signed the contract for June, but for me that would have been $1500 - I choose to eat in the month of June so that's not possible. She told us to hold off on rent until we meet to sign the contract (since I was out of town) so I haven't felt the financial blow of anything yet.
On the upside, we found two girls to move in. They can't move in until August though, however, they have moved in their stuff and offered to pay storage. P.R. and I are not about to turn down money. We are going to use it to offset the cost of utilities, since that's going to hurt our pockets in the same way rent well (and by that I mean we are paying half rather than quarter). We are meeting with the landlady tomorrow evening to "sign the contract" but hopefully she is letting us carry over the security deposit until August, when all four of us can sign a contract together. The way she was wanting us to do it was for P.R. and I to both pay the security deposit and we work it out later with the two new girls. I'm sorry, but I'm not a landlady, I don't want to work out the security deposit with them. What...have them pay their portion and when I get mine back pay them theirs? I'm sorry but it's too much work. Besides, I would feel more comfortable having all of us locked into a contract, that way what happened to us with Nomad can't happen again.
Anyway, oh and our washer broke. Landlady things she has fixed it, but it may flood again. Not looking forward to when that happens. Needless to say not quite as much laundry is getting washed in our household right now. We don't need the stress.
AND I've given up sugar...today is day one, so who knows, maybe by the end of the week I'll need this blog more than ever.
