I hope the roof don’t cave in
People who live in apartments probably now what I am thinking. We have some neighbors about us, sometimes I hope that my roof does not cave in and land on me. Somedays it sounds like a herd of Elephants are above us, I think they may have a couple of cats but seriously I doubt that would answer for all the thumping up there. At least they are fairly quiet at night and I do not hear them to often in the wee hours of the mornings.
I wonder if one of there cats is about the size of Otis or something, or maybe bigger because I could see a large cat making a thumping noise. We live in a 2 story building and have 1 elevator, we have a parking garage in our building so maybe counting the basement it is 4 stories. Each apartment has a balcony which is nice, but sometimes I have to be careful when our on my balcony because there stuff dripping from the second floor, and we all know liquid dripping could easily be bodily floods form one of their pets.
Sometimes Condo living is nicer then apartment living because condos are side by side but honestly it not any better then living in an apartment building. I love my apartment building, because it a clean building, it is safe for the most also, but on the other hand you can’t just remodel things in your apartment or make it more accessible to you if you wanted.
A condo you can for the most, when I lived with my Grandma she was able to do what she wanted inside her condo but not outside. Her door was down stairs and to get to the living area you had to walk up these steep stairs which where thin, I have fallen down them a couple of times. As grandma got older, she needed to do certain things to her condo. Grandma fall down them stairs also, once and after that my uncles and Aunt decided to get her a stair lifts . It worked great for my grandma, she could seat down on a chair and be brought upstairs.
When grandma had her hip replacement surgery she moved into an retirement apartment. I am glad she is there now because there are more people her age, and she is near a community center where she can go out with other people who have some of the same interest as her while my uncle who lives with her goes to work. When grandma lived in the condo she had friends but they where all younger and had kids, and they where different type of friends, not always the type she could just be with that were like her, experiencing and facing the same thing. My grandma is a wonderful woman and is fall of life but it good for her to have friends who have some similar experiences.
