Community mailbox key has needed WD-40 since March. Everyone in the building has learned the specific jiggle. Nobody has told the property manager. It's just a skill now. #apartmentlife #smallthings

Every plant in this apartment came with a tag that said low maintenance. Two are dead. One is thriving out of spite. #plants #apartmentlife

okay, just spent a chunk of time chatting with my apt's new owner (well, the owner's daughter but I think she's going to be the hands-on manager: the owners are remote) and...
such RELIEF
She was *very* nice, we chatted about a bunch of things, I even filled her in on some things I don't think she knew yet about the property, which she really appreciated, so it was all very very nice.
and she even floated whether I might be interested in signing another year lease (instead of month-to-month which I'm on now)
so the question is... do I see if they'd be willing to allow a dog? I was thinking I would bring it up but not for a while yet. 🤔

Morning! Enjoying the silence, the coffee, and the breeze coming in from the balcony. Braced for more high temperatures, but at least it's Friday!

Some peonies in full bloom in the apartment. 🌺

The walls in apartment blocks are thin, and sometimes you overhear things that make you think about how people treat each other (or don't). A short reflection:

Meanwhile, summer in Tamil Nadu continues to be summer in Tamil Nadu.
If anyone has a functioning borewell, a rain dance routine, or just emotional support to offer — the comments are open.

I loved my three years of apartment life when I was a young man. My not being a cook ameliorated the fact the kitchen was only as big as a walk-in closet. 1977. #apartment #apartments #apartmentlife #youngliving #mifflintown #juniatacounty #1970s #dinnerparty #cleanup

Chung cư HH Linh Đàm (Hà Nội), khu dân cư đông đúc nhất thủ đô, bất ngờ thông báo ngừng trông giữ xe máy điện và xe đạp điện. Quyết định này đã gây ra nhiều tranh cãi gay gắt trong cộng đồng cư dân, đặc biệt khi xu hướng sử dụng phương tiện xanh ngày càng phổ biến.

I was known for keeping the air conditioning so high in my apartment, that Doug once dubbed it "The Ice Palace." 1976. #apartment #apartments #apartmentlife #1970s #1976 #airconditioning #airconditioner #cool #cooling #memory #memories #youth #young #mifflintown #bridgestreet

Four letters in my mailbox today and not one of them was for my apartment. All of them had incorrect or incomplete addresses, so apparently the local postal carriers think "last box in the row" is a good place to hide the letters they don't know what to do with? #apartmentlife

I wasn't allowed dogs in my Bicentennial apartment, so I raised gerbils. Tracee, Rhonda, and Chudney were named after Diana Ross's daughters. 1976. #gerbils #gerbil #desertrat #desertrats #furry #mammal #mammals #pet #pets #bicentennial #1970s #apartment #apartmentlife

my apartment building is celebrating #EarthDay by having a plant potting station
... except the plants never arrived, so there's just seeds 🤷🏻 which is sorta fine, but they're all FULL SUN and my apartment is northern facing, so who knows how these little #basil seeds will do
the guy who works the front desk said they'll probably extend Earth Day for a few days, since I'm so far the only person who showed up for it 🤣😭

catching up on #maintenancePhase bonus episodes and potting my new balcony #herb #garden!
I've got rosemary, lemon thyme and peppermint. the balcony is north facing, so we don't get a TON of sunlight, but hopefully it'll be enough 🤞🏼

We had to take down our bird feeder because our building is getting power washed today, and it breaks my heart seeing all the birds come by for brunch and not finding their normal pile of seeds!

The view from my kitchen window is so peaceful and cute.
I've been struggling with my moods and identity lately and I have been really frustrated with how I spend my free time so this weekend I will be decluttering and setting my new priorities straight.
The snow makes me think of new beginnings.

In my usual post-run position: feet up, with a cold drink. I'm enjoying just how warm our apartment is, thanks to this very welcome sunshine. The thermostat says 27C here in the living room!

Finally got a new apartment. Now I get to find out all the new apartment struggles, like "I gotta hit the head but my roommate is taking a shower."

I am hooked. More precisely, my apartment is hooked.
A previous owner has made abundant use of stick-on hooks and I find them in some surprising places and in surprising quantities.
I first became aware of them when storing my kitchen supplies. One cupboard has sixteen cup hooks. Sixteen! I use this cupboard for dry goods, and will remove the hooks if I can figure out how to do that cleanly. But every time I open this cupboard I wonder why someone needed so many cups or mugs.
The next hook that drew my attention is in my bathroom. It is a very large hook and it is placed below the bathtub rim. I cannot imagine what it could be used for. There are four additional hooks on the tiles around the tub and I use them for a squeegee, a back brush, and my shower scrunchie puff thingy. One hook is surplus to requirements.
There are also some hooks on the left wall of the hall closet, one of which looks as though it could be used to hang a purse: it is too close to the adjacent wall for a coat. One is too far down on the wall to be of any use I can think of, and one is an odd shape, so it probably was once attached to something else.
There are hooks beside the washer and dryer closet and hooks tucked far inside the guest room closet. I have removed stick-on hooks from the backs of two doors and from the edge of my bedroom window sill. And, just before Christmas, I tried to replace broken hooks on the underside of the patio roof. There are several there to hang a string of lights, but they are old and break easily so I gave up the effort.
Actually, all of these hooks have been there a long time. I can tell because the plastic has yellowed, they are fragile, and none of them has the kind of glue that you can pull away to leave the wall undamaged. These are old-school stick-on hooks, and I would love to know the best way to remove them.
Any advice will be much appreciated. More importantly, though, do you know what that big bathtub hook is for? If I knew that I might stop staring at it when I am, ahem, otherwise engaged. Thank you in advance for your insights.
