Every time something annoying happens in my crappy apartment complex now, I say to myself: Six weeks. I’ll be out of here in six weeks.
Right now, the annoying ice cream truck is out there with its annoying “Pop Goes the Weasel” music. And I repeat my mantra: Six weeks. Especially because I am going to a community that probably has hidden cannon mounted to take out ice cream trucks.
Yesterday, I came home and my neighbor was parked on an angle guaranteed to see another car squeeze me in if parked in the remaining space. Six weeks.
The air conditioning kicked out again last night, even though it was fixed last week and I’ll have to call the guy again: Six weeks.
In six weeks, I will be where I belong: A neighborhood where the cars empty out during the day, because people have to work to pay for their pretty condo. A neighborhood where the management company doesn’t run “Summer Specials,” discounting the rent so that crap moves in, and moves out again under cover of night when the discount goes off and they can’t afford the regular rent. A neighborhood that hasn’t seen the crime rate jump so high that the city police are working overtime to drive out the criminals.
Six weeks.
I can feel my blood pressure lowering already.
“the annoying ice cream truck”
We have a neighbor that either owns one or just operates one. Every day when he comes home he plays his unspeakable tune for a few minutes before leaving the truck and going in.
That be a most thoughtful hubby I know about…
The ubiquitous ice cream machine creates such drama in our house because “mean, mean mommy” (that’s me) “refuses to buy us ice cream because she must not really love us. And we need the calcium.”
**where do they come up with this stuff??
And we’ve been talking about moving for a few years…so to only have 6 weeks left, that is a good thing.
I lived in a place like that for nearly a quarter of my life. And I’m never, ever going back.
Glad to see you are finally moving to a decent neighborhood!
Hope your kitties adjust quickly to their new home.
Good luck!
