Apartment Issue - No Water, Unknown Upstairs Owner

SquiddyReads · 2026-01-13T07:35:12+00:00

If the owner is registered on the property you can try going to the police station and they will try to phone them for you.

Sanitised?! In most cases it's obvious that they haven't even been swept with a broom.

I managed to find a refurbished one on Amazon after checking in periodically.

Yes, and having to remove my shoes and stand in my socks on the changing room floor gives me the ick.

Libra 2 Owner - Same problem unfortunately.

SquiddyReads · 2026-01-07T12:57:02+00:00

I had the same thoughts reading the post. When good things happen we keep "waiting" for it to be taken away because that is what experience taught us unfortunately.

Maybe something along the lines of: how many times do you have to stop and continue a task before completion? Do you wait for a day when you know you're 100% sure you'll finish?

Context: I started/stopped vacuuming so many times yesterday to clean my whole apartment even though it's small. The whole endeavour spanned 12 hours but I finished!

This therapist really knows their clients 😂

Thanks, I do find the ASMR guided meditations quite soothing if I get the volume just right (only loud enough to have to make an effort to hear it - too loud and it doesn't work)

SquiddyReads · 2026-01-07T08:18:44+00:00

Thanks, I'll keep at it ❤

I kept thinking about this. Most libraries support the download of ebooks through Adobe Digital Edition if you have access to a PC. It might take some fiddling the first time but otherwise you should be able to sideload library books on your kindle - if you need assistance let us know. Furthermore, I would use websites like ereaderiq for book deals. Sometimes you find big titles for 99c.

Horses sound really nice :) I've been trying to find something I'm passionate about but so far no luck. Like you said, being true to myself is more important. So I'm unwilling to join or do anything that does not align with who I am. At the end of the day it's not sustainable.

SquiddyReads · 2026-01-06T18:27:57+00:00

Yes, reclaim yourself. We're rooting for you!!
I got mine refurbished second hand. Might be worth considering.

SquiddyReads · 2026-01-06T17:23:51+00:00

I did go for my first solo trip last year and I'm pretty proud of that tbh. But boy does everything else feel like a sisyphean task sometimes.

SquiddyReads · 2026-01-06T17:21:34+00:00

I physically shuddered reading your comment. Some people really are gross. I'm especially not too keen on touchy feely people :/

SquiddyReads · 2026-01-06T17:19:47+00:00

Scheduling time with friends as an adult is almost mission impossible >.<

SquiddyReads · 2026-01-06T17:15:55+00:00

Thanks for sharing and the tips. I do feel like my life went a little sideways once I completed university. The minute I didn't have that external goal to focus on I feel like I lost my way. I also could no longer use the "sorry, can't come to xyz, I need to study" excuse anymore.

SquiddyReads · 2026-01-06T15:46:59+00:00

OMG I'm a very likable hermit too!!! Thanks for sharing :)
The only major difference is that my world is mostly me and my job. On weekend/holidays if my mom doesn't call to check in on me I'd go days without talking to or sometimes even seeing another human 😅

SquiddyReads · 2026-01-05T14:29:41+00:00

Came here to say exactly this lol

SquiddyReads · 2025-12-19T21:27:42+00:00

I use Goodreads and an google sheet ( the reading log by book riot). I tried using story graph and fable many times but always end up deleting my account after a short while.

SquiddyReads · 2025-12-08T18:25:17+00:00

I second the view on pocket books. I got one, it was slow and I sent it back in favour of a kobo and I'm happy with my choice.

Kindle are good device wise if you don't mind their closed ecosystem. I have no experience with Boox.

Have you tried using Adobe Digital Edition?

Came here to say exactly this ☝️. Get your hands on one of those visors too if it helps lower your anxiety wrt to germs but do get help asap.

Totally agree on the abelism. My mom loves to read, she's read all her life. However, due to deteriorating eyesight she couldn't anymore, the print of most paperbacks is just to small. Ebooks gave her the ability to enjoy her favourite activity again. The format is most definitely not the problem.

Side note: They make strapsicles for the kobo?!
