Saturday in Cool Cloudy Fresno

Wow, it's nice here. It's actually almost cold. I heard someone say this morning the weather was awful as it's only September. I was like Huh??? It's just now starting to feel like normal weather. Yes I know, I'm an out of towner. However I'm an in towner for at least another 3 months. I told my agency I would resign with this hospital and stay in Fresno. The hospital said I had to agree to work 2 of the 3 winter holidays. I responded by saying I would just as soon work all 3. Since I'm going to be down here anyways and my agency gives an awesome bonus on top of triple time for working the holiday I may as well. So I'll get to experience winter in Fresno. A little of a bummer that I will be working all the holidays and far from home but when I get the bonus check or new toy or whatever it will all be worth it. The bonus would be almost enough money to pay for my meds for another cycle. Lets hope I don't need it for that though and can instead use it to buy baby stuff.
My cycle is being weird again this month. My CM was absent until like CD14 which was a couple of days late for it. On CD 14 my sticky CM showed up, then the next day nothing, and the day after that nothing. Now I've had 2-3 more days of sticky CM. I have no idea if I have or will ovulate, or when AF will show. It's the old when you want her to visit, she's MIA. Right now is CD 18. It's annoying. I always have had an incredibly regular cycle until I started trying to get knocked up and then it all goes to hell in a hand basket. Whatever.
Also the saga continues with the apartment here. I had two phone calls on Thursday one saying that they "had gotten it figured out and they had a form that I HAD to come into the office and sign that day before 6 o'clock." The second one saying that I could never mind the first phone call, they didn't need me to sign anything after all. The next morning when I got home from work I got another notice on my door saying I was past due 22.50 and that this was my second notice and that they would take the amount from my rent next month and then I would be late on my rent yadayadayada. Interestingly they said I was past due for water, sewer and garbage this time. Which is something that is in my lease that I would have to pay. So I sat down and type this great catty response letter about how they needed to make up their mind about what the 22.50 was for and if it was for pet rent then yes I was disputing the charge since it wasn't on my lease that I had to pay it and I also included copies of my lease in case they were unclear on that. I headed over to take the letter and of course she was their in the office so I felt like I lost a little steam. I basically told her that I disagreed with the charge as it wasn't on my lease and that if it had been I wouldn't have signed the lease. She asked why not (I'm sure thinking that it was a small amount) and I told her I was pissed that the rent had already increased from what I had been told to start with and that I didn't like that the rent kept going up. I told her that I had told them I had cats and the amount filled in on the lease under pet rent was zero. She explained that they leasing agent was new and had forgotten to fill that part in etc. Then pointed out that by signing the pet agreement I had agreed to the deposit and pet rent whether it was on the lease or not (however again their is no amount in the space for pet rent on the pet agreement). She said that I would have to pay the pet rent as I had agreed to it and asked if I had paid a pet deposit. I told her that I would like to be released from my lease (yes I know this is unlikely to happen) since they were attempting to change the lease after I had signed it and I no longer agreed to the lease terms. She said she would have to check and she would call me back which she of course never did. I did also tell her that there was no way I would stay once my lease was up in November. So at this point I don't know what is going on. Yes I do realize that I am being really stubborn over a principle. For one thing, they screwed up by not collecting the right amount when I moved in (I'm pretty sure I didn't pay a pet deposit) and by not putting the pet rent amount on the lease or on the amount of the total I had to pay for rent each month and I don't feel that I should have to pay for their mistake. That said I will admit that part of the reason I'm being stubborn is also because I'm having a bit of renters remorse. I wasn't sure if I wanted this apartment as I had found out I could rent elsewhere cheaper but I had paid the deposit already. I liked the complex here but did feel it was still a little expensive for an apartment that didn't have a washer and dryer. I also knew that I should possibly be taking the cheaper apartment so that I could work more on paying bills etc. After I moved in I have become a bit less enchanted by the apartment. There are train tracks right next to my apartment and I swear to God, that the trains go by about every 15 minutes and they are incredibly LOUD! I also have neighbors who play really loud music almost all day long and that has woke up me several times. The idea of paying more rent for the apartment that I no longer really want because of the above mentioned reasons and because I have other things I want to be putting my money into bothers me. I had signed an agreement and was ok with and figuring I would stay until November as I had agreed to that. Now if they are going to come back and insist I pay pet rent and pay an additional 500.00 pet deposit I am going to freak out. I have a feeling that if I pay the pet deposit that is money that I will never see again and I don't want to give up that much money. I already have lost my pet deposit from the first place I lived with my roommate and my deposit to the apartment from hell that I rented when I first got back here (I'm assuming this as I still haven't seen it and it's been a month) and I don't want to lose another deposit. So yes part of the issue here is my problem but I still don't think I should have to pay for their mistake, I'm only going to be here another 2 months at the most and I hate to give up more money I will never see again. And yes I really do think I would have refused the apartment if they had raised the rent that much more. I already came in that day thinking/hoping they would raise the apartment above the 769.00 that was the first quote so that I could argue that they were changing the rent and possibly get my deposit back. So now because I didn't want to give up a hundred dollar deposit, lets hope I don't lose a lot more.
