One afternoon, I was sitting on the porch. The Maintenance Supervisor for the Complex was accompanying a couple of gentlemen completing an energy assessment, which included sampling an apartment of each bedroom size.

Until I got my life turned around a few weeks ago, I would have been more anxious about being put on the spot about being asked to do something like this but knowing that my apartment is well kept up nowadays, I accepted the invitation.

Yet, I was slightly concerned about things being out of place, but the maintenance supervisor assured me that cleanliness was not included in this procedure.

While the gentlemen were doing their job, I learned so much about the fixtures in my home, like when they were replaced and how things function like the heat. Right up my alley!

One of the gentlemen doing the audit told me that I have one of the best air conditioning units in the industry as he worked where they were manufactured.

I am proud of myself that I’ve been keeping my apartment cleaned up the last few weeks. Whenever you have a clean house, you feel so much better mentally and have pride in your home, something that I wanted mentally to struggle with before I even moved in here almost three years ago.
