A few weeks ago, there was a fire on the balcony of the condo building across from ours. It’s like our sister building since we are run by the same management team and share underground parking.
Because of the fire, they decided to do a balcony audit for every unit in both buildings.
This means that they inspect every balcony to make sure that it abides by the guidelines and there are no fire hazards.
They gave everyone a week’s notice to clean up their balconies before the inspections commenced on Monday.
This was in the notice they emailed. It said it was taking place Monday.
So Monday comes and I get everything tidied and hidden away to make it look less messy and they don’t show.
A second notice comes saying basically, “oops, my bad. The inspections will be from the Monday to the following Monday.”
No hours given, no breakdown of which floors on what days, this is always something they do when a building-wide task needs to be done, so you know approximately when they are coming.
People must have complained about the vagueness and wanting more details so they sent another notice saying to stop pestering the front desk with questions because they have no answers.
That’s it. That was the last communication they gave us on Monday. It is now Friday afternoon and they still have come to my floor.
I have no idea even if they have finished anyone else’s because there are zero updates. The entire week I basically have been stuck here waiting.
Every morning I pull everything out of the way and then I wait. I can’t leave because I don’t want the girls to have to deal with a couple of men coming in, and I can’t leave my cats locked up all day “just in case”.
Anyway, I am so pissed. This is the worst planned out building wide event that they have ever had. At least send out a update letting everyone know which floors have been completed.
They haven’t even clarified if they will be doing it on the weekend so I have no idea if they “might” be coming over the next two days or not if they don’t end up coming today (they didn’t).
I am not feeling hopeful.
And yes, the humming sound is still going on.
On a positive note, I found a concealer that covers my bags from hell. Actually, it’s more like a concealer/foundation hybrid. I got it in linen and it matches perfectly.
Their cream blush, and lip tint gloss is also great. I am not a make-up girl by any means, and I usually prefer just a subtle look for myself, especially in summer, so this minimalist series fits the bill.
Plus it is vegan and cruelty free which is something that I try to look for in a beauty product.
In case you missed it, I posted a minimal maximalist summer wardrobe last night.

Ugh! That stinks about your building throwing your life off by keeping you waiting. Hopefully by now they have been there. I tried the Merit stick thingy and it broke the second it touched my skin. I love the blush and lip tint. Save your money and DO NOT BUY the lipliner!! I have used it like twice and it is already gone. There is very little product in the beautifully gilded package. I am so disappointed. Any way I hope you have a great week and I might being my Fendi bag out for a spin this week. Wink wink!
Thanks! They never came and now I am feeling like I live in an alternate universe 😂 So weird. Anyway, thanks for the tip about the lip liner, I usually just use a cheap drugstore brand since I use it so infrequently so I didn’t think about it when I was getting the other pieces.
My merit stick thing hasn’t broken but I can absolutely see how that could happen. It looks pretty but needs to be more stable.
And yes! Take out that Fendi and use her as she’s meant to be used. Let it bring you joy. – Sara
