My studio is spotless and perfectly clean. Nothing has changed since the first day I moved in besides the additional screens. I want this studio to remain perfectly ordered and empty because it gives me a feeling of “volume”.

I went back to the “couscous dude” and his wife to offer them some water melon because I cannot finish it alone. I learned pieces of their life while trying to fix their Youtube.
In summary: A divorced troubled Algerian woman with a baby boy from an “arranged wedding” with a jobless husband (from Algeria) who smokes marijuana. I really wish the best for the baby boy because he is the “solution” they found to get through their problems, the unlucky woman and her problematic husband.
The “Youtube problem” seems to me so meaningless compared to the rest and I really have no strength to deal with their real problems. If I was her, I would get rid of the problematic husband first!

I noticed this annoying phenomenon many times. Whenever I use another computer than mine I never get the same list of results even though I used the same keywords. I already knew it was due to cookies and language settings, etc … ( I prefer google.com instead of google.fr). Nowadays I get tons of ads due to my browsing also. It is so annoying.
The cookies narrowed my own choices and ads are so annoying. I’ll stop using Google and replace it with QWANT:

I am really tired of ads and “oriented” links. I want to be free from google and I want my results to be rich and neutral!

A poor dude from the building wanted to talk to me but I was busy with someone else. He came back later and explained to me his problem. He said that he was surprised to find out that he had to pay the rental charges.
I explained to him that, from my understanding, everyone had to pay rental charges but he replied saying that “they” told him differently. I simply asked him to show me his contract. He thanked me and promised to come back with the contract.
I like the old man and I simply told him that only written contracts matter in this country.

I helped another family in the building with a neighborhood’s problem type (dog’s poo). I had the chance to visit their place and I was really impressed. I thought they were chaotic and everything but I was really wrong. Their apartment was really beautiful and extremely well organised. They are from Tunisia with Caucasian type.
Geez! My apartment looks like an empty box compared to theirs!

A stinky Vietnamese pickle forced me to clean the whole refrigerator. Very annoying but it is done! It had to be cleaned someday anyways because of the accumulation of ice inside.
I met the “couscous” dude and his wife on the train yesterday on my way to Paris for my Vietnamese sandwich. They asked me all kind of questions related to finding work as cleaner, fill out an online application for a new place and the update of Youtube on their TV. They were very surprised to know that I only pay 2 euros per month for internet. They sure will ask me some more questions in the future.
Today, I finally understood the problem with intruders going to the roof of our building. I will have to buy some lockers and prevent the access to the roof. I was wrong thinking that people inside did that. Maybe their friends. It seems also that these intruders tried to remove the magnetic plate of automatic entrance door to gain easy access.

I just arrived to the garage on my bike and this dude whom I never talked to asked me this question:
“Do you want some couscous?” I tried to mumble some excuses but he insisted so I finally said yes because I had the impression that there was something else.
He came back and gave me a plate full of couscous made by his wife. He explained to me that she called me few days ago and she asked me about the possibility to move to a bigger place. I finally understood his real motive. The situation of this couple, who just had a baby, is a bit complicated because they are part of a social program and they have to make a formal request to the mayor in order to be on a social waiting list.
I told him that the price of what he wanted was 950 Euros per month without social help. He understood and thanked me for my explanations.
I am used to the “food for thought” program in my building now. Most people who need my help try to give me food …:). I will become fat if the program continues :).

So here I am in a strange and deadly mental game. From the outside world, nothing has changed but inside everyone is watching the next move. So far everything has gone the way the inspector has predicted!

My baby car (Toyota Yaris) is back and fully functional without any engine light! I love the smooth sound that came out of the engine. I really think that all the part replacements improved the engine greatly.
I also received the blood test results. The virus is active but it is at 3.85 log or 41404 replications / ml. Between 10 000 and 100 000 replications / ml (4 -5 log) the virus is either inactive or weakly active.

Hummmm… I called the Toyota workshop and they told me that a specialist from Toyota France will check my car. They will have to block another day for it. It seems that the problem might be more serious than just the motor’s controller and my car might be a “model” in this type of defect and they wanted to check other components.
The cost for them:
1. 3 fulls days of work (technicians)
2. Expensive components
3. Another full day and a specialist from Toyota France will come to double check
4. They let me use their car for 1 day + 2 weekends (6 days) + 2 days = 9 days in total!
Geeeezzzz…..!!! Why ME??
