My birthday is in two weeks. For the first time in two years I’m feeling happy and wanting to celebrate my birthday. I’m not young, but life has been hard the past few years. I reached out to my friends, and only one is available. Some people don’t even bother to respond. What hurts the most is that when these people were getting married and having kids etc. i was always there to celebrate them, but they can’t be there to celebrate me when I’m recovering from difficulty.

I just moved here so this might be a dumb question so please don’t judge. Why does my laundry smell like pee and how can I fix it? I used a common washer and dryer in my building. Is it because of that? Is it mold? Is it the water? I air dry my workout leggings and they all smell really weird and I don’t know what to do 😔

Saw someone asking about high-rise apartments in Mott Haven earlier. Just moved into a new apartment building here and honestly it’s not as bad as I thought. New buildings are safe and pretty spacious (relatively speaking). Downside is not really much to do around this area and food delivery is not great. Hope this is helpful for any one who is looking at this area.
