What's been going on in my corner of Waikiki

Hey guys, I am sorry to report that there have been no real exciting cockroach stories in the past couple weeks. I think we finally have them under control...just in time for us to go out of town and leave the place empty for a month. I'm sure when I return here in January there will be many stories worth sharing, and not just of cockroaches! I'm getting two new roommates and I'm hoping to start volunteering at a homeless shelter. I need you guys to hold me accountable for getting involved.

Some developing news: We found mold in our shower, so now we're convinced we are going to die. Hoping this isn't the cause of my roommate's and my stuffy noses. Thought we were all just giving each other the virus, which probably is the case. We should be getting it checked out and all cleaned up soon.

This is pretty disgusting, but today I was scrubbing down my shower. I had noticed the water not going down the drain and creating a puddle in the bottom of the shower and when I inspected further I noticed there was a rather large hair ball wrapped all around the drain. I bought some heavy duty rubber gloves and went to work. I scrubbed the walls and eventually made my way to the hair. I started to pull the hair up and noticed this wasn't a little job. The drain was missing one of its screws so I bent it back and peered in. Hair all the way down as far as I could see. Being brave, I tried pulling it up, but the thought of touching 500 other people's hair who had lived here before me got to me and I just about puked. I stopped and went down to put in a work order. Someone has obviously been neglecting that drain and it is not my job to unclog hair from the prehistoric time period.
