Dressed for the arctic conditions in my apartment, I went out this morning into temps getting close to 50°. Going in to a couple of warm stores made me feel even warmer. I actually saw a guy walking along in t-shirt and shorts! Sacramentans sometimes remind me of Minnesotans, but I'm not sure why - maybe they dress crazy for the weather. I suppose crazy to me is normal to most everyone else, and vice versa! I'm really just joshin' ya, all you wonderful Minnesotans and Sacramentans.
As to the cold apartment, you can imagine if I don't even have to run air conditioning in the summer it is going to be on the cold side during winter.
I had a talk with the apartment manager this morning. By now there is a plumbing expert here, and I don't know what they are doing in there but it sounds like a section of the wall is coming out. I strongly suggested they remove a section on the end wall because I'm sure rotted wood is behind it. He told me they would have someone check for the presence of mold. I can actually smell it all the way into the living room. I'm not going to tell those guys how to do their jobs, but I think they should be wearing masks when going into a section of wall that is obviously full of wood rot and mold. I should probably have a mask just living here.
Several readers have suggested that I leave here right away, but I have no place to go. I would need to find another place and pack up and move or store my belongings, none of which I feel capable of doing right now. Friday's visit to the eye surgeon will determine my next move, as well as future plans. I can't even stay in my camper until the weather is warm enough to reseal the window!
I didn't end up going out last night, but turned my phone off and took a benadryl tablet, and went to sleep shortly after 8 pm. I slept pretty well and felt great this morning.
- Homeless No More! (2nd Post Sep.2)
I got a call from the Mobile Home Park to let me know my applications for residency and site rental were approved. That was quick - I just dropped the apps off this morning and was told it usually takes 2 or 3 business days. I had run my own credit report...
- Gotta Get A Move On
I still don't feel right but realize I'm going to just have to deal with it and start getting ready to move. My s-i-l picked me up this morning and we looked at two local places that have climate controlled storage. The one I think I'm going...
- Back Home Tomorrow?
I stopped by my apartment this morning and found the blower gone, the wall patched up and ready to be painted, and the bad smell gone. The manager said they will replace the floor tile today and it won't take long at all to paint, so I'm hoping...
- Where Is The Leak?
The maintenance guy is here this afternoon - cut a section out of the sheetrock to try to determine if the leak is coming from upstairs or from an outside source. He left for a few minutes and I went into the bathroom - the smell of moldy rotten wood...
- Moving, Sort Of
I can't say I'll be on the road again, but I'm moving. I gave my notice yesterday to break my lease, and I plan to be out of here at the end of September which is JUST 3 WEEKS! I should be getting the 5ver back on October 2nd, which leaves...
