Apartment Life #287

 

This is a weekly blog post that I'm calling Apartment Hell  Life. I've mentioned a few times some of the crazy things that go on in and around my apartment complex in the past 24 years that we've lived here and people keep telling me I should write a book. But instead of a book, I've decided to share the crazy things that have happened in and around my apartment complex in the last 24 years here in a weekly blog post.


I know you can barely make out the police car there behind the van but it's there. The police were back over here with the homeless shelter van trying to convince the homeless people around here to go to the shelter. 


A few people did actually get in the van but there are still quite a few homeless people around here that wouldn't go. 

But in my pictures you can also see the street and where the street maintenance crews come by about a week ago and sealed the cracks in the street.

Now that I figured out how to download old videos from fb, here's another one. 


Back in 2012 this guy lived in that apartment he's in front of. He kept his motorcycle inside his apartment instead of in the parking alley, and would start up his motorcycle in the courtyard every morning at 6am to go to work. And would ride it into the courtyard at night when he got home. He would ride right by 4 bedroom windows and didn't care he was making so much noise. How rude is that? Everyone hated this guy and were glad when he moved out.

Covid Update Day 24: 

We are all still coughing but we are doing better. My back muscles hurt from all the coughing. My sense of smell is really muted. I can smell just not strongly. My daughter and grandson are still coughing a lot. Me and my daughter still get mild headaches but my grandson is feeling better. Really, if we could get rid of this cough we would be fine.

Thank you for all the well wishes, we appreciate it.

The high this week was 65F/18C
The low this week was 32F/0 C

So that's it for this week's Apartment Hell  Life! Be sure to come back next week for more.

  1. That motorcyclist went out of his way to make himself unpopular didn't he?
    I am glad (very) that you are doing better.

    1. Yeah he really did. He could have pushed it out to the street before starting it up.

  2. Hi, Mary!

    Yessum, in my comment yesterday, I forgot to ask how you and your family members are feeling as you continue to recover from COVID symptoms. I'm sorry you have a lingering cough, but we both know the situation could have been worse. I hope you will all be back to 100% soon.

    I take it the police will continue week by week throughout the winter to sweep through the neighborhood urging homeless to go with them to a shelter. Those who refuse to go might have a deep-seated fear and mistrust of cops, or the reason they decline might be that they prefer to keep doing their drugs, even if they must endure cold temps.

    I'm glad you explained those wavy white lines in the street. For a minute, I thought they were chalk outlines of bodies drawn by detectives. :)

    Yeah, that fugitive from Easy Rider could have wheeled his chopper out to the street and away from bedroom windows. He was probably trying to show off his macho wheels.

    I wish you a safe and happy week ahead, dear friend Mary!

    1. Yeah they come by all the time to see if the homeless want to go to the shelter. I thought the wavy lines would need some explaining.

      His motorcycle was obnoxious.

  3. Sorry you are still coughing. It's hanging on way longer than it should - you should be over it in a week.
    That was a lot of cracks in your road.

  6. That guy on the bike was quite the alarm clock. Could the cough hanging on be due to the cold weather?

  8. I’ve heard from friends that the cough can really hang on. It’s normal to still be coughing, even for six weeks with Covid. Hopefully, you round the corner soon.

  9. I understand why this guy wanted to keep his bike inside his apartment based on the other stories you've told. Maybe it allowed him to move somewhere safer. Glad you are getting over the virus.

    1. Tis was back when the neighborhood wasn't even that bad.

      He could have pushed it out to the street before turning it on though.

  10. Glad the bike man finally moved, that must have been annoying to hear early in the morning, Good news that you are recovering from Covid.

  11. Those were all cracks? My, the pavement was really damaged then.

    Coughing is the worst thing ever - let alone for 24 days 😧. I hope the darned virus is starting to get tired of you all!

    1. Yeah, those are all cracks. They should have just repaved the street.

    1. No, funny enough I don't really have much to do with the police. They are dealing with all the other people around here.

  18. I wish more of those homeless people would feel up to taking advantage of some of the services. That motorcycle dude sure was rude. I hope you're totally better super soon.

    1. I think it's because they can't do drugs or drink alcohol in the shelter.

  19. Sorry your having rough ride with covid. I just like this entire thing gone.
    Coffee is on and stay safe

  20. Your cough sounds horrible. Covid really seems to be everywhere right now. I hope that you are all feeling better very soon!

  21. That guy was pretty rude, but I can understand why he'd keep his bike in the apartment.

    Glad to hear you're recovering even though it's slow going. Hope you're 100% soon!

    1. Some of them are. A few weeks ago there was this 6'5" blonde, muscle bound cop that I could have looked at all day.

    2. Blonde?? OMG I'd become a criminal just so that he could arrest me.

  26. I hope you all recover from covid asap.

    The guy with the noisy motorcycle was clearly a self-centred arsehole. Yes, you must have been relieved when he moved out.

  27. Everybody is getting the Omicron variant, it seems. Even people who are double vaccinated and others who have had the booster. I hope you are all well soon. 👏👏👏
