I am going to get my fourth booster today and I will be getting the newer one because it has the variants in them and I think I will be more protected. And then next week or maybe after I will be getting my flu shot. So hopefully this year I will not get the flu. I haven’t had the flu for a lot of years like ever since I started to get the shot for it. And after I am done I will be waiting for hubby because he has to go for a blood test and then we will go grocery shopping. We don’t really need that much and I do have a list so hopefully what I want and need will be there on the shelves.

Onto something else…
I am still pissed at the landlady and it looks like I will be sweeping that sidewalk if I don’t want any accidents and if someone comes to visit and trips I am afraid that I will be sued and I don’t have insurance for that. And my bathroom vanity still stinks and I think it’s getting worse and the pine sol is not disappearing so I am not sure what to do. And the water marks on my hall floor will take years to dry up if they dry up and I can’t get the air from the fan to the other end of the hall because there is no plug and the air is not strong enough to actually do anything for the spots. So my attitude for this is I don’t care just like I don’t care if the sides of the counter that is not sealed water spills down and I have a feeling that it will either be moldy or rotten and I don’t care because that is the landlady’s doing. She said she was going to make sure the dishwasher had the straps around it to make sure it stayed and didn’t move and she hasn’t done that either.
I just wish everything would get fixed so I know things work.

Onto something else…

I wish some people would just listen to me and do what they should be doing. I don’t complain much but when I do it’s always important and is because of a safety issue and the people responsible just make up some lame excuse like nothing more will happen but that is not true. Because things do get worse and then I get blamed for it. But no more. When I say something needs to be fixed it does and if I could afford to have someone who actually knows what they are doing come and do it then it would be fixed right the first time.
The things that I need fixed are my bathroom door because it looks like it swelled and you need to be superman to close it and then there is the covered hole above the toilet that has a piece of wood covering it and it’s cracked and black and condensation drips from it. and then there is the vanity with the warped shelf in the cupboard and has black around the edges and smells not normal and I can’t use it. And hubby’s bedroom door is hard to close because I think that swelled also. And I have asked for a rod to be built into my closet but that will never get done and then there is my closet door that is missing the thing that makes it slide shut. And of course the floor and the dishwasher and the counter on top of the dishwasher. And in the laundry room there is a piece of wall that has black on it because of the rain and water from upstairs and then where my freezer is the concrete is cracked from one side to the other and looks like it will get worse. I have asked for that to be fixed at day one when I moved in here and she said no. So with all these things needing fixed I am not really too keen on when she tells me to do something I know won’t work and I do it anyways I don’t care if it works or not and I just have to say “You told me to do it” and if it gets worse then I don’t give a shit.
Here is a perfect example…My parents microwave broke and there was this horrible smell and what they did is they not only got a new microwave but the smoke from the microwave went into the fridge so they got a new fridge and they also had someone come in and got rid of the smoke smell. And all they were inconvenienced for about a week and now everything is back to normal. This is what my land lady needs to do. But she is just too cheap because my safety is not very important to her and I think she wants me gone from here. But what I would like to do is move into a three bedroom and have my son there so he won’t have to move so often like now because his landlord told him a family member is going to be moving in January and then at least my son will have a stable home and be able to get a job and not be stressed out all the time.
My land lady won’t let my son live here because he won’t become independent or responsible but that isn’t true. And what she doesn’t realize is that he would be paying rent and some of the food so I am not sure how he wouldn’t be independent. And if he were here then my share of the rent would be much more affordable but she doesn’t care about that she like to see me struggle. And when she raises the rent which will be soon that will mean I will have to move sooner because she will raise it every year till all her bills and taxes are more affordable because of the rent we will be paying. Even with the rent going up $20.00 a year that is till a lot for me because right now I am paying $150.00 more which makes me not have what I actually need and even getting a pair of runners is out of the question so when hubby gets runners and he doesn’t like them or they don’t fit he gives them to me. I know this isn’t a good thing but it is what it is. And another thing I can’t do is light my candles that have scents that make me feel happy because the land lady is terrified of fire and I really miss that. But then I figure when I need my candles I am going to be lighting them and making sure they don’t be moved to where they can cause a fire. I am always very careful when it comes to candles and matches and lighters.
I am getting really tired of being told of what I can and can not do that it’s making me into this very unhappy person and the land lady doesn’t see that. But I am looking to move but I need to make sure where I am going to be moving is close to transit and there is shopping that is not too far away. And I won’t be telling the land lady till I give my notice. But this sidewalk thing was the straw that broke the camels back and I won’t ever for give her for this.
This is what I found and I think it needs to be done by her.

• Clean- The responsibility to keep common areas clean often only applies to properties that have more than one unit. The area does not have to be pristine, but it does need to be consistently free from trash and other debris.
So I am right and I knew that. Now just to prove to her that she is wrong…

Onto something else....

I have a question for all of you? When it comes to carbs and it’s something like 67 grams is that high? I am still trying to figure out if carbs are the sugar that is in things or if it’s something else and how does someone have low carbs? And is potatoes, corn and rice and pasta totally out? And is brown rice and pasta okay or not? And can these things be in moderation like once a week or every two weeks?

Onto something else....

Well I need to stop here…
Do have a great day…
Be Kind, Be Calm, Be Safe, and Behave.

You said you live in a basement apartment didn't you? I'm wondering about your hall floor. I have a basement and the floor is concrete. On the part we have finished with flooring (laminated wood) we had to put a vapor barrier down first.

My basement is humid in the summer and we have to run a dehumidifier. I know where I live is probably a different climate than where you live but my point is that basements can be very damp because they are mostly underground and it gets very humid. At times, if the dehumidifier was not running, you can see moisture on the floor. Hence, a dehumidifier and vapor barrier.

What kind of flooring is the hallway? If it's anything over top of concrete that hasn't been prepped before installation then you might be getting moisture coming through and causing the problem, in other words, it may not be because you washed/mopped it incorrectly.

From everything you describe about under the sink, the door, the floor, etc., it sort of sounds like you have some serious moisture issues going on that need to be addressed.

Does any of this make sense to you?

It all makes sense and you are probably right. The hall floor is wood planks and light colored wood with a top coating of something on top. And the people before us use to mop the floor with water and not used a damp mop. And I used water once so then that is when the dark spots came. I know there is moisture under the floor and I know it's concrete and I don't have a dehumidifier or anything else that would help with the dampness. The land lady says I need to have the fan going all the time in the bathroom but there isn't enough room to put the fan where it needs to go and it's too tall. And the fan above the toilet doesn't do justice and I don't see it getting rid of any of the moisture so I keep the bathroom door open when I am not having a shower or using the throne. I don't know if it was prepared or not but probably not.

You don't own the property so you are not liable for its condition and you cannot be sued if someone trips and hurts themselves.

I know but she has threated me with a lot of stuff I know isn't my fault but then she never does a once a year look and see what needs to be fixed.

sounds like your landlord want you out of the house??? She is trying to make you made by not repairing issues and leaving junk on the sidewalk making you clean up after her. I hope you are able to find a new place.
