The Apartment Building I lived in Last Century

This morning I took a thirty minute walk. I walked from my apartment up the street to 2218 Sunrise. Across the street from that apartment building is 2217, which was the building Mom and I lived in around 1989 or there about. The building has changed quite a bit since I lived there. When I was living in apartment 13, which was on the second floor, the building had a swimming pool in the center of the courtyard.

Today the building is boarded up, with no swimming pool. I think it must have been condemned sometime in the past few years. Now the building is green. Even the boards covering the windows are green. It is the ugliest two-story apartment building on the block. Of course, that may be because there is grass growing wild in parts of the courtyard. The building looks lonely, but then all empty buildings look lonely and forlorn.

I suppose eventually someone will purchase the property and remodel or whatever they decided to do. I don't know how long the building has been empty, but I suspect at least ten or fifteen years. Perhaps I should write a poem about the building from the building's point of view.

In my New studio Apartment: Part 1

In my new (new to me anyway) I have clothes hanging in my closet and CDs sitting on one shelf of my computer desk. I still have boxes to unpack and stuff to send to my brothers, but I'm getting settle. Tomorrow is Sunday, so I'll probably start the week out  by going to the store because I have to purchase a $10.00 phone card and I want to see how many miles Smith's Food and Drug store is from my present location.

I have a working electric range, but I can't remember where I put the three sauce pans I brought with me. I  think the may be in a cupboard behind my electric can opener and electric water kettle. There isn't much room in this apartment to store things and most of the storage is above my head, so I have to have a stool to put things in the top shelves. I have a small step stool, but I'm not sure it's enough to reach some of the upper cabinets.I may have to purchase something a little sturdier and tall to get to the top shelf in the bathroom.

I know I'll eventually get  everything organized, of course it may take me six months to do that. I hope I can get it organized within the next couple of weeks, but to do that I need more money then what I have because it  costs to send stuff to Colorado and California. My sister can drive into Las Vegas from Searchlight to pick up the stuff I need for her to store, which I hope isn't very much more  then she already has in her garage.

Monday Decisions

I decided that I will not renew my subscription to a daily newspaper because I have access to all the news I want to hear or read online.

I decided that I want to move into a studio apartment because they are easier to keep clean then a one bedroom apartment.

 I decided that I do not want to keep a land line because I have a cell phone and I do not need both.

I am considering giving up television because I can find most of the shows I enjoy watching online.
