Lease/new apartment

cattitude and I looked over the draft lease, and then I emailed the realtor with a couple of issues, and a bunch of questions: "I don't like this clause about possible rent increases, with blank lines in it" is an issue, and "how will we handle snow removal?" is a question. She emailed the realtor, and then called me with satisfactory answers to our questions (including that the clause we don't like won't be in the final lease).

So, cattitude went over to her office and gave her checks for (a) the security deposit, (b) first and last months' rent, and (c) the pet deposit. We should be getting the actual lease tonight or tomorrow morning, to be signed electronically using Docusign, and then we can relax for a little while before thinking about exactly when we want to move.

We have the current (Somerville) apartment through the end of July, and the lease on the new place in Belmont starts July 1, so we have some flexibility. I have an editorial project with a July 5 deadline, so the second or even third week in July would probably work better for having everything packed up, and taking ourselves and the cats over to the new place.

Also, after several days of sore left hip and knee, I was feeling enough better yesterday to go down to Davis with cattitude to do some shopping, and that went well enough that I went shoe shopping today and walked about a mile, including walking around the Copley Square farmers market and stopping for lunch and then to buy a cheesecake. (My phone says "1.4," but its "miles" are closer to kilometers.)

Tomorrow I hope to sleep late (having been up since about 5:30 a.m. today), get some editing done, and take things easy physically.

idonethis followup

I posted a couple of weeks ago about the idonethis site having told me my free account was going away.

Somehow, I now have two free email-only accounts, which are emailing me at different times of day to ask that I reply with what I've done that day, and list past accomplishment. They each have a link to click to turn the emails off, but when I clicked on that, for the more recently created one, the web page told me my free trial had expired.

This is annoying; I would like to keep getting the emails that connect to/draw on the account I've had there for years, but not the other, and I suspect that's impossible without paying them (at least) $5/month. They're both being sent to the same email address, and from the same address, so I don't think I can use email filters here, and I suspect that if I do figure out how to contact someone there, they'll turn off the emails/account I'd like to keep, too.
