Renewal time and still no lamps
This morning I woke up to an envelope stuck to my front door.Apparently I’ve been here for almost a year already (oh how fast time flies) and my leasing office sent me a reminder to extend my lease for another twelve months.The good news is if I renew my lease with them,my rent remains the same for an entire year plus I get a $100 gift card and my name gets entered into a drawing for a free month of rent.If on the other hand I decide not to renew my lease for a full 12 months,then I either have to move or go on a month to month lease which loosely translated means my rent increases by $35 and I get to pay an extra $150 per month for the convenience of having a month to month lease.
As I stood there processing all this information,it suddenly hit me,I’ve been here for nine months and I still don’t have lamps in my apartment!Seriously,I keep meaning to get lamps for my living room and for the bedroom but for some strange reason I never do.I know its written somewhere on my endless list of things to do,now all I have to do is actually push it to the top.
Since I love staying here,I’ve decided to renew my lease for another year and I’ll use the $100 gift card to pick up some nice table lamps.There are so many cute lamps and I’m having a tough time deciding which one to get but I’m sure whatever I get will go just fine with all my other furniture.And seeing as I spend a great deal of time reading,maybe I should also invest in at least one reading lamp.
