Facts: apartments by the numbers

This weekend I am preparing to move.  I wanted to break down living in Salem into the numbers:

4:  apartments I’ve lived in in Salem (including my new one).

3:  roommates I’ve had in Salem (including my husband).

3^rd floor:  furthest up I’ve lived.

0:  times I’ve lived above the first floor since the hell of moving in and out of a 3^rd floor apartment.

2:  pets in apartments.

2:  housewarming parties hosted.

3:  Christmas parties hosted.

1:  times the police have come to my apartment (when a woman on drugs rang on our doorbell at 3am).

1:  times the fire department have come to my apartment (when my husband thought the dying battery warning on the carbon monoxide detector meant we had a carbon monoxide leak at 2am.  It didn’t.  We survived).

2:  Presidential elections I’ve voted in since living in Salem.

7:  Halloweens I’ve either been a part of or tried to avoid in Salem.

3:  Trick-or-Treaters who have visited me at any of these apartments.

2:  rodent situations in my apartments.  The first was a mouse that I walked in on in the middle of dying in the kitchen.  The second was a rat that was wreaking havoc on my apartment.

5:  couches I’ve had (or roommates have had) in apartments.

1:  couches that didn’t fit up my 3^rd floor walk up.

Endless:  memories in all of these apartments.
