Every year at this time the building managers hire a company to go from unit to unit cleaning out the ac filters, and bathroom and laundry air vents. This means they will need access to the living room, both washrooms, the laundry closet, and my room.
Which should have sent me into a panic two weeks ago when they sent out the schedule and I saw that I had three weeks to get this place not looking like some scary hoarder apartment.
But for some reason I didn’t jump on that early warning, and now I have 6 days to do it all.
The problem is that they need the area by each of those locations cleared out so that they can bring in the large vacuum thing they have and both my desk and bed are blocking those spots with the surrounding area filled as well.
I like to joke that you can play the lava game in here easily because everything literally touches.
That makes not many options for moving things around temporarily. It’s such a pain in the ass.
Anyway, I was going to say no purchases were made this week, but that would be lying. Late last night I saw that Zara had some new stuff, one being a pair of cargo-ish pants.
I said I wasn’t going to do the cargo trend, but these are more army pant looking than cargo, and they zip off at the leg for some long shorts.
I thought I would give them a shot, so I ordered them and went up a size because I always hated fitted cargo pants.
They are out for delivery as I type this.
I think I want to hit up Value Village this weekend too because I have a 30% off coupon that expires Monday.

I was reading Reddit this week and there was a post about how some woman’s landlord was being a super creep, and she thinks he might have installed some cameras in her apartment.
Someone shared this link on 5 Ways to Find Hidden Cameras Using Your Mobile Phone so I figured I would share it too in case someone here also has a potential creep in their life.
