So my kitchen sink wonโ€™t drain but when I tried to clean the P trap water came pouring it from the pipes in the wall, not the backed up sink. My upstairs neighbor was plunging their sink and every time they did it made the water in mine go higher. We have drained a bit but still have icky standing water. Waiting to see if Maintenance considers it enough of an emergency to respond tonight or if I have to hope thereโ€™s no more backup overnight and my sink overflows.

Lived in my place nearly 3 years now, and only tonight found out my utility closet door latch is a magnet.
And found out in the weirdest way.

How good or how bad is service when you live in an apartment building?

For the next few years nothing will be built outside my side of the building. Pretty much a clear view of the sky. I've seen balconies with satellite dishes (not our building). I wonder if I could do the same. Is it worth getting hardware? No 2-year contract (unlike fiber, cable) is what I like about it. But the hardware is really pricey.

Just wondering.
Nothing serious. ๐Ÿคช

I got this bag of potting mix some time ago -- I wanted to plant little sunflowers from seeds but kept procrastinating. ๐Ÿ˜…

So anyway... ๐Ÿ“ Move the ๐ŸŸ  into a bigger pot and add potting mix.

Now I'm thinking maybe I'll move both ๐ŸŸ +๐Ÿ”ด into one bigger pot or planter.

To combine or not?
What do you think?

Wow. ๐Ÿ˜ณ In less than an hour, the droopy got all perky after watering. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ‘

The orange one seems much* thirstier than the crimson one. It gets really* droopy. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ Been needing to water it every 2 days.

I find the difference in behavior strange since, except for the color of the flowers, they look like the exact same variety. To me, anyway.

Living in apartments - which I have done for all of my adult life - is really hard for me. My sound sensitivities make living beneath others miserable even in the best of circumstances, and Iโ€™m constantly worried about being too loud for my downstairs neighbors. I feel like I can never truly relax. Last night the people upstairs were doing something that emitted a loud, low frequency sound that I could not block out. I tried earplugs, my sound machine, sleep music, and all combinations of these things, but I was still up half the night because of that sound. Now that I know that I am autistic, I at least understand why sounds like this bother me so much, and I also understand why other people arenโ€™t bothered by these things. And knowing that does help, but it doesnโ€™t make it easier to endure. Iโ€™m pretty sure the sound was something that most people wouldnโ€™t even hear, so itโ€™s not like I can complain about it or ask them to stop doing it. And unfortunately, moving to a house is not an option. As it stands, I shell out over 2/3 of my monthly income just to pay the rent for a fairly small 2 bedroom apartment in my city. And with so many unsheltered people in my community, I am constantly reminded that I am fortunate to even have the housing I do. But I sure do dream of living in a space that isnโ€™t surrounded by other people!! How do other autistic folks cope with the difficulties of apartment living?

Thanks. ๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ™ The is getting plenty of sun, from sunrise till around noon. I've only had it for 5 weeks. It grew a good deal of new leaves till the mealybugs showed up and the leaves started falling off. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ So far, no more yellowing/dropping leaves. ๐Ÿคž

It's warm here most of the year. Cool is rare. Strong winds and heavy rain (and my ) are quite problematic, but not cold temperatures. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ‘

I've lived in my apartment 3 years now but am still regularly amazed at how tightly the builder engineered the bathroom door with the sink.
Reckon about 1mm clearance, tops.

In apartment living, you either have an upstairs neighbour who randomly drops a ball bearing from time to time, or you are an upstairs neighbour who randomly drops a ball bearing from time to time.
