I have not put anything here for a while
I have been busy
Being busy is good
Being busy is healing
I have no idea who is reading my blogs and I really don´t think about it
These are just my thoughts when I write and have noting to do with popularity or how many like the writing.
My life is almost back to normal after the turmoil in December.
The good news for me are that the upstairs one is leaving next month I think
He has sold his apartment, or so I am told.
Last week a man came to my apartment from MEO the internet company, and he was going to upgrade my internet.
The one upstairs came down and asked what was going on?
This had nothing to do with him or the condominium, this was just my private internet!
He must be totally confused these days.
I have done what I needed to be able to come home and go out on my own.
Number 1
I needed a handrail and there was none outside. I asked someone to take care of it for me and got a beautiful inox handrail. I paid for it
Number 2
The front door was kept open most of the time
I got an email from a friend of mine who told me that in the neighbourhood there had been some thieves lately and we should make sure the door was kept locked.
In normal condominiums the front door is kept close, but I don´t live in a normal one!
I asked my insurance company what would happen if something happened in the condominium and the door was not locked all the time? The reply was, we would not pay!
I remembered that many years ago there had been automatic lock on the front door so I asked someone to take care of this for me and put something that would lock the door automatically. Of course I paid for it.
Number 3
There is a small garden beneath my windows at the front and some years a go I kind of stole the spot and made it beautiful. Cleaned the weed and put some beautiful roses and flowers in posts. it was really beautiful and I took care of it for some years. When I had my the accident in December I could not take care of it anymore and decided just to get rid of the pots.
I have also taken care of the payment for cleaning around the building, at the back there is a big one just with grass and trees. I have never got anything back, they said they would pay but nothing came. The last one was in July last year!
Now I am not taking care of that anymore.
Number 4
5 or 6 years ago I found a company to take care of the building and everyone, 6 apartments, was supposed to pay their percentage of the cost.
3 apartments paid the others not, and of course one of them was the one above. He never pays anything!
2 years ago the company told us they would not take care of anything more, this was 2022!
Now there is no electricity in the public space! The door bells don´t work. No one is going to do anything about this and as I see it the only solution is to find a company to try to take care of everything.
Im not going to do anything, except pay my share!
The one upstairs must be horrified. The woman downstairs who dares to live alone and be able to take care of things she wants to, is back.
It must have been a relieve for him to have me away for 2 months or more!
Now I am back and he is horrified.
What is she going to do next, he may be asking himself?
yes, on Monday the MEO man comes again at 9 in the morning because he could not finish the work. At 9 the one upstairs normally leaves. He might even cross the MEO mans path! Djisus Krist!
I know i am a horrible one sometimes.
I can if I want to, blame it on a high age!
it will be interesting to see how the summer turns out.
Will the new people upstairs be nice?
Wll there be electricity in the future?
Will there be cleaning in the future?
Will the garden be nice in the future?
Will the water in the garages continue without anything done about it, It is going to continue to rain, I think!
A lot of questions and i won´t become any better or more controllable after next week.
An 80 year me is not any different from the 79 one!
Life is funny!
