My apartment what a mess

When is the last time you took a risk? How did it work out?

About a year ago, I moved into this apartment and took a risk. At first, it was cool up until the beginning of the week. My apartment became flooded with water.

It was awful, but today most of the water is gone. I will cross my toes so that I don’t have anymore water flooding problems. I complained a lot about it.

Yet there were other apartments in the complex going through the same thing. So I didn’t feel alone. It all started in the bathroom in the laundry room. It got backed up then it spread to other apartments, including mine. Thank God it is over for the most part thanks to some plumbers coming out and fixing the concern. Hopefully today they fix the rest of the problem so we can go back to not walking into flooded areas anymore in our apartments.

I mean it was very hard. This morning, I woke up to my whole apartment flooded. There was water everywhere, but now for the most part the water is gone. Yes!! Thank you for reading.

Work and pay the car

Describe a risk you took that you do not regret.

I will discuss a risk I took that I don’t regret. Well many people work jobs and take risks to work that job. I took the risk of working with Doordash and so far so good. It helps me pay for the car I drive and also going to the store or going out to eat at Papa John’s or Domino’s. It is quite good.

With the Doordash card, I get paid after working a run (the process of getting the food or other items to the customer). It is quite good. So that is the risk I took. Thank you for reading.

Plumbing problems

Write about a time when you didn’t take action but wish you had. What would you do differently?

When my sister told me the toilet was leaking and now the toilet is really leaking. The water is all ready in the living room from the bathroom. I have called the maintenance man. I am waiting now on him.

I wish I had listened to my sister about the toilet leaking. It would have saved me a lot of grief and some of my stuff is probably ruined. This sucks 😭😭.

Things going up in prices!

What makes you nervous?

What makes me nervous? Gas, food, rents, utilities, all going up thanks to inflation. Joe Biden is saying everyone has a job, but not a job to keep up with inflation. I need two jobs to keep up with inflation. My regular job and a side hustle. I don’t have a regular job, but I will soon look into it because inflation is making me nervous. If, Joe Biden wins reelection then inflation will go through the roof.

The concern with oil is that Joe Biden shut down the pipe line which was filtering oil from Canada to somewhere in Texas. All because the oil was filtering into the Native American’s drinking water. There had to be a better way to manage that pipeline so it could stay open and gas would not be so expensive. When gas goes up everything else goes up because the goods have to be transported by diesel trucks. Also it could be basic economics demand and supply. But, shutting down the pipeline was not good. This is what makes me nervous. Thank you for reading.

Demanding day

How do you unwind after a demanding day?

In this blog, I will discuss how I unwind after a demanding day. Lots of people do different things after they have a demanding day. After I have a demanding day at work.

I usually come home and eat a salad because maybe I need some nourishment to get my spirits up. Then, if I am still mad and frustrated from the demanding day. I will drum because hitting drums always cheers me up and maybe I will sing a song I wrote.

Then, I read the news on the Internet.If I still need to unwind I will take a shower. Then, I eat a banana because of the tryptophan, which then I go to sleep. Then I am really chilled. Thank you for reading.

Social media

How do you use social media?

In this blog, I will discuss how I use social media. Everyone is busy these days. So it is good we still have a way to see if everyone in our life, is doing well or poorly. It is called social media Facebook or a number of other sites.

I mainly use Facebook and Instagram. I usually just read others posts and view their pictures and profiles. I will post some funny things sometime or if I am in the mood, I will post a song or lyric. I mainly go on Facebook to see what friends and family are up to. I use Instagram in the same way sometimes.

I have an account on Snapchat, YouTube and Tictoc, but I haven’t posted anything in a long time.

Jetpack is usually the site I post regularly on. I like writing about the different topics that they provide on Jetpack. Some of the questions make me think, which is good. Well that’s it in a nutshell. Thank you for reading.

A salad

Jot down the first thing that comes to your mind.

This salad had romaine, tomatoes,mini brussel sprouts, purple cabbage, black pepper, lemon seasoning, garlic salt, red pepper flakes, and hot cayenne dressing. This was a great salad for dinner.

In conclusion-the first thing that came to my mind was a salad. Thank you for reading.

Random act of kindness

Describe a random encounter with a stranger that stuck out positively to you.

In this blog, I will describe a random encounter with a stranger that stuck out positively to me. There are many, such as holding the door open for me to walk in a store. Or, when, I am at the store and I am only going to buy one item and the person lets me go first because they have many items to buy.

When I am doing Doordash and I cannot find an address. Then, a stranger points out where an address is and they are correct.

These little acts of kindness are very positive and stick out in my mind as I write this blog. Thank you for reading.

Taking for the taking

Describe a decision you made in the past that helped you learn or grow.

In this blog, I will discuss a decision I made in the past that helped me learn or grow. A decision I made to work and learn to handle my own money and be able to support myself without anybody else trying to control my money.

I am disabled so having a payee (person who controls my money) is a reality for me, but with money management skills and trying to keep my head above water with debt. I have managed to acquire some debt, but hopefully I am able to pay it off one of these days.

I have made mistakes and for them I need to work a little harder so I can put more money towards my debt, before it gets really big and costs a lot more money.

In conclusion- the decision I made is to work and learn to handle my own money, so I can be self sufficient and not have to get a payee. Thank you for reading.

Never visit

What place in the world do you never want to visit? Why?

In this blog I will discuss what place in the world, I never want to visit. This place is pretty bad. People I know have come to the United States from this country. It is in central America and a street gang called MS-13 operates there. They cause a bunch of violence there. I have not been there, but I know the gangs are there. They do human and drug trafficking and I cannot be mixed up in that business.

In conclusion- I will never visit El Salvador because of the violent street gangs there. These gangs kill civilians, police officers, soldiers, and themselves. So I am better off in the United States. Thank you for reading.
