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 have gone on in and around my apartment complex and in my neighborhood in the past 27 years that I'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 27 years here in a weekly blog post.
I wanted to show you what I can find out using the police blotter and signing up for daily alerts for crime that's happened within 1 mile of my address. Each day I get this map showing all the police calls within 1 mile of me. Most days there are between 6-12 points on the map. You can click on the pictures to make them bigger.
Then it also tells me the incident number and what was going on like theft, assault or fight. ect.
Then you can click on each one of those incidents and get more info like below.
I can click on street view and see the house, apartment building ect where it happened.
I didn't even see any police for all these different calls over the last week. So now when I do see police I can look on the alerts they send me and I can maybe find out what it was. We'll see. There's a lot more going on in my area than I thought.

You remember the "water shelters boxes" that the homeless are always tearing the doors off of? Well one day this past week I was walking by with Falcor and just happened to turn and see 'something' sitting on the valves. I screamed so loud! In my defense it was 6AM and I was not awake yet.
I mean, you don't expect to walk by something that's supposed to be empty and see a giant stuffed animal there.

While outside my daughter spotted this dog in a stroller. The wagon and dog belong to a homeless man. I've talked to the guy while petting the dog, he's 14 years old and the friendliest dog. The guy lost his job 2 years ago and then lost his apartment because he couldn't pay the rent and he's been homeless ever since then. Most apartments want you to have been working for 6 months, make 2 or 3 times the amount of the rent each month. But he's had a hard time getting a job because he doesn't have a permanent address. No one wants to hire him. It's a vicious circle and there's very little help, he said. It's a hard and sad situation so many people find themselves in.
Life Update:
*My daughter wearing her heart monitor*
She's been a trooper through all these different tests.

My daughter finally got a referral for a Cardiologist and saw him. They have her wearing a heart monitor all week. They did a bunch of other tests and are worried because as they put it, "Her heart output is low." They didn't give her a number of how low yet. We did get some good news, her insurance did contact her and let her know the new Lupus medication is going to be approved, finally. So we are waiting for that to come in the mail and I'll be giving her the injections because she's too squeamish to do it herself. lol I'm diabetic, I'm good with needles. 🤣🤣I used to give my late husband his HIV medications injections as well. Just call me Nurse Mary. 👩🏻⚕️💉💉
Thank you to everyone who asked how my daughter is feeling these days. She's doing much better. The Lupus medication infusions really helped with her pain.
The high this week was 78F/25C
The low this week was 50F/10C
So that's it for this week's Apartment Hell Life! Be sure to come back next week for more.
