The Mysterious Person in the Laundry Room

[musik]

I also, when collecting the stuff before dinner, moved the key lock to August the 23rd.

The sexy g-string panties with laces and all her other stuff were moved when I got in there.
But she'd left what I first after a quick glance thought was a used condome on the floor in the drying room. But after I collected my stuff and put it all in my blue IKEA bag, I examined the transparent thing. It appeared to be a small plastic bag (like a 1 liter freezer bag) with some saucy liquid in it. I also found a pubic hair inside. I got and hold the yellow cloth and put the transparent thing in the bin.

Laundry pass today 12-17.

I was a bit late (7 mins).
But I saw an empty laundry bag on "my" place next to washing machine #1. And machinery noise from the drying room, so obviously it was occupied, which they are entitled to.
I filled the two machines.
The three things on the wash basin in the traditional formation.
Went up.

Went down after an hour and a half to hang my things in the drying room. I did. Nothing special. Went back up.

And then ... at the half time break in the football games when I went down to collect my stuff finally ...
In the backyard.
I saw a man who noticed me when I was on my way to the entrance door to the stairwell.
A strange figure.
A beard with grey colouration.
Rubber boots (have no idea why he wore them this sunny day). A big green rain jacket.
Something on his head, have no idea what it was. A pillow case perhaps?
He had big hands with somewhat dirty nails.
He had a kind of heavy breath and I felt I just wanted to give a quick glance at his direction.
I have never seen him in my life. He was quite big, must have been 20 kilos heavier than me and 10-15 cm taller. Perhaps my age.
From the 1 second glance I gave I could tell he didn't look nice, and more importantly, he didn't seem nice.
Someone told me inside to get the key ready quickly or even better, aim for the digital reader of the little tag on the ring to open the door. Which I did.

And just when I did I gave him another quick glance, but this time it wasn't even a second, rather just half of it.
And he responded instantly.
I closed the door at the blink of an eye and didn't turn my back until I was one meter into the entrance before the stairs in front of me.
And there it was!
His ugly face pushed to the small glass window in the door. The nose was pushed real hard so it looked broad and big. One eye, his right one, wide open, while the other one was shut. It seemed he hadn't used a comb for some weeks, or months ...
But what had I just seen during that half second? It was as if I even didn't want to breath when I got into the drying room.
Today I hadn't brought much stuff with me, which was appropriate thinking of my injured neck and the current situation with the man.
I wanted to get out of there quick.
It seemed like he didn't belong here.
A stranger, apparently some kind of lunatic.
I took out my mobile phone in the laundry room and made sure it was ready if I had to call the police or an ambulance.

Why did he hold a bucket in his right hand? And in the first place, why the heck was he standing with the back at me in the corner of the backyard glancing over his shoulder as if he was hiding something? And what was the black hairy thing in the bucket? Obviously he thought I had revealed him.

That bloody nose pushed to the glass wasn't a nice view. I had never collected my stuff this rapidly before. Didn't clean the floor or the top of the machines, didn't even give it a thought. Went the other way out from there through the door leading out to the road instead. Only had a t-shirt on me and it was a bit chilly. Went into my number entrance of the building and up the stairs. Locked carefully.

And here I am.

Sat 7 Oct Laundry Evening Pass

With an injured neck I tried not to carry too much, two bathing towels, t-shirts, pillow cases, a leopard blanket.

The three things were placed on the wash basin as usual, the dish brush, the yellow cloth and the metal plug. But they were positioned more to the left side now. On the bench to the right two white cloths had appeared. These have never been there before.

The drying room was a bit dusty.

When I went down to hang the things in the drying room I got a real surprise! 😲
Someone had stopped the washing machines and turned them on again!
They must have done.
The laundry pass started at 16.00. I had filled the two machines at 16.05 and started them. They got the same type of washing program. It should take 65 minutes according to the display - and that never fails! I started the two machines almost simultaneously, the time difference was ten seconds. You see, I always start to fill them both with garments before I push any button.
I went down at 17.15. Both washing machines were still on. The one to the right had 5 mins left and the one to the left had 15 mins left before it was done.

That's weird!
Maybe I can find out why next time in 21 days from now. I've thought about standing pushed to the wall to the right of the board with all the key locks on the wall. They won't see me there, but I can have a peek now and then to see what's going on if I hear a door opening.
This phenomena hasn't happened in the laundry room for a couple of years.

Next laundry pass (evening) 28 Oct.

[FbrgVaStkFan]

Cliff hanger.

[musik]

And that's within 15 mins.
I have quite a lot to bring today since it's been a while.

I try to persuade myself it's good for my injured neck to move as much as possible. But noone really knows for sure, on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday I will go to my doctor to see if she could send a message for a MRI och a MT-scan.

I've been doing quite a lot today already even though I was up far too long yesterday, until 3:05; too much for me. Went to the flower girls today to think of something to put on my parent's grave this weekend. And the upcoming week we also have Halloween (which I absolutely don't care about at all since it's not a Swedish original tradition) and All Saints weekend.

Have just made myself some thai food to be prepared for the laundry room evening pass. It starts at the same second the Championship games start. Stoke is not on TV. Ipswich vs Plymouth can be. I will follow Stoke graphically. Soon finished the dish.

Tomorrow I will get a furniture delivery in the morning followed by a visit to grave. I just found the grave certificate so I know what size the actual grave is. There are no stones or anything around it as a marker.

Lots of t-shirts, trousers, underwear and socks today. Also some sweaty smelly once for a change, used in the rehabilitation gym.

Back from the laundry room. I did manage to fill the two machines with it. I first thought no way, it will require three machines.🤠

Now I will follow the game as good as possible.

For the first time ever there were two cloths on the wash basin accompanying the metal plug and the dish brush. A yellow cloth and a green cloth. The yellow one seemed brand new and was wired around the water tap.

Eight small metal things were placed in the window niche - I've never seen one of them before: a little metal star.

🤔

[musik]

F@ckin' idiot!!

Someone had turned off the dryer in the drying room during my pass, so all things were pretty much the same as when I took them out from the washing machine.

And tomorrow morning the furniture delivery guys arrive. I simply have to put the wet garments in my bed room I guess. It's going to be a wet night.

Edith: the green cloth had been replaced by two smaller and stiff green dish sponges when I returned to get my stuff.

🤠

[musik]

I've noticed things like these collide with the times a certain neighbour is at home.
🤨

I have a plan. Next time I will quietly hide behind that wall in the laundry room I've mentioned before. On long term I will eventually buy a spy cam and attach it on the wall somewhere just during my laundry pass.

8 Nov 2023 Laundry Day Pass

Did my washing today.
Noone was there during it, noone came and noone left. Nothing dramatic happened. Noone had stopped my washing machines or turned off the dryer.🤠

However, I met a person from the Jehova Witnesses and I thought she was the one with the laundry pass after me, but noone came down there.

The most sensational thing was this: the cloth was missing. There were just the dish brush and the metal plug for the wash basin.
The second most sensational thing was: Someone had replaced one of the metal things, a ring I think, in the window niche with a leaf.

I've thought about that since then.
I played "Sweet Leaf" by Black Sabbath the day before the Laundry Pass and my neighbour above apparently didn't like my choice so he started to go round in circles in his kitchen above mine very very loudly with his heels drilled into the floor. Before that I had played The Guess Who "Wheatfield soul" and The Stranglers "Coup de Grace", but no objections then.

Yeah, I've thought about that too! Maybe it's just a coincidence this neighbour of mine rushes to his bathroom as soon as he hears me in my bathroom. It could be he's a pisser! Some disease or whatever makes him urinate frequently.

Nothing happened and I got other things to do, so I went up after a while with the milk, bean sprouts, beetroots and pasta I bought.

But when I went down at 16.48 to collect my stuff, some idiot had opened the laundry room so it wasn't locked at all and far worse, the idiot had unlocked the drying room with all my stuff and left the door open!!

But I looked at the board and the keylock after mine was still there. So now I have the number to the appartment.

Unless it's someone completely different.

For the first time ever I think, I forgot all about the items on the wash basin.

Sat Laundry Evening Pass 4 pm to 9 pm

It collides with a lot of things, but I have no choice. I will also be forced to just put the clothings into the machine quickly, then go by bus to buy a metallic star for the kitchen window in time for tomorrow morning. They are said to have a few left.

Spending the evening assembling bok shelves and up a down the laundry and drying rooms I'll go.

I've been asked that question lately several times. And the answer is no, not really. But if I also bought a couple of rotating book shelves, to have as book spinners in the middle of the floor, I would call it some kind of semi library.

I use atm Neutral and it's a powder.

Normally I use a liquid though called Grumme.

Both Neutral and Grumme are environmentally friendly.

I've seen Persil, but not Daz here in Sweden.
Lidl's own brand, I wonder what that might be!?
I know their soap is Cien, but ...

Usually I don't buy one type of washing powder for white and one type for coloured clothes. I buy and use "colour" for everything.

I have bought Grumme stain remover as well, best in the big test, and Grumme salt to use on white garments.

I have to go down there before 9 pm.
The only thing I noticed before was that they'd left TWO cloths instead of one. And not of the soft microfibre type that I like. Two yellow spongy cloths you use for the dish basin normally. Lot of washing powder on top of the two washing machines as well. Real dirty!

In the meantime I will go up to the attic to get my Advent candlestick.

I wonder what would happen if I found someone sleeping up there.

[musik]

Collected my stuff. Every thing was pretty dry.
I washed the floor before leaving.
I also washed the dirty washing powder compartments.
The leaf (now even older) and the rings were still in the window niche. The metal plug, the dish brush and the two yellow cloths I wrote about earlier today.

But the interesting part comes now:
I had a gut feeling something would happen when I left the drying room approx 3,5 hours ago. It was my favourite sweater I thought about. I left it hanging in there, in the corner as far away from the drying room door as I could. For some seconds I thought about taken it with me and let it dry here instead. Then I had the thought 'nah, why would someone ...' And 'I have the right to get dry clothes, just as anyone else'.

So.
Was it stolen? Thankfully not.
But someone actually HAD been in there, and as far as a I could notice ONLY touched/moved that particular sweater! You see, one of the sleeves were thrown up on top of the wire it was hanging on, and there is no way something else than a human could have done that. I left both sleeves as usual hanging straight down approx 60+ cm.

I moved my key lock before cleaning the floor and I did put it at a new time in two weeks from now straight after the key lock that had been following me on the board. 😜

Addition: Unfortunately the Advent candlestick from the attic doesn't work. Even though I've tried the new lamps I bought today.
Either a new candlestick bought or ordered tomorrow or don't bother.

[musik]

I'm going down ...

[musik]

I'm up now.

Nothing special happened and no mirror was attached to the wall.

More info: I managed to switch lamps on the candle stick on Saturday 2nd Dec just in time for the First Advent, so the Advent candlestick worked and still does in time for tomorrow's Third Advent.
At least one of the new seven lamps didn't work though, so it was a bit of a testing procedure. I even took the candlestick apart, checked the wires and everything.

Btw, now at the Saturday evening Laundry pass, someone had put one yellow fresh cloth to the left on the wash basin and one really dirty one to the right
I wonder if they wanted to say something to me?
I cleaned the washing powder compartments with the clean one. The metal plug and the dish brush were there as well at their usual positions.

We got a letter this week with a contradiction from the landlord company. It said we can only use the drying room on our laundry pass hours. On the note on the wall in the laundry room however, it says we can use the drying room one hour longer.

I was in the attic this evening as well to get my ladder. I will put some wallpaper up in the bedroom tomorrow. I had done some preparations today. I noticed the Radioman still had his name on the letter box. I haven't seen him for months. It was also a long time since I heard voices from the room above the drying room and above the garbage room.

I broke my wrist totally at Christmas just before the gathering for Christmas dinner when I fell backwards on an icy hill.
So I spent Christmas at the Emergency unit almost alone for 2-3 hours and got X-rays done both before and after the relocation of the forearm and the gypsum package was made and positioned.

Severe surgical case obviously since 1/4 of the forearm was next to the hand after the fall. But they've tried the re-positioning first. Let's see what the X-rays says on Thursday.

What I'm saying is, there won't be any laundry room today.

I'm going back to the hospital today as well though, since I didn't get any written info, even though the journal says so. However, the friendly nurse told me to avoid water on the arm package and to move my fingers and try to use the hand as much as possible in daily activities and to hold it upwards all the time. No exercise program given though.

However I haven't been able to use the fingers, from the beginning not at all due to the injury (day 1), and then it was hard because of the tight package (gypsum and bandage). I don't know, maybe the resistance from the tight package is the purpose? If my not injured hand had the same resistance it would have the same difficulties to move, I guess. The package is too long, I can't move my elbow all the way as I'm supposed to if their pamphlet I found online with exercises is correct.

I will tell them personally today. Maybe they didn't give exercises in my case straight away. However "daily activities" could easily be much tougher for the hand.

I will get a work therapist for this I guess. My main physio therapist I had for the dislocated disc in the neck told me to contact them for a working therapist for the broken wrist. Unfortunately, I can't do the neck exercises now. However, the neck is better. I will ask at the hospital today what working therapist they want me to have, maybe their own since they have the X-rays and orthopedist nearby.

I've thought about putting ice on the thumb joint if it's a good idea since the area is very swollen.

Today it's day 5. It takes a year for the bone to rebuild.
