Day 43331 ~ In A Mood

The other night I dreamt that even though I had received my security deposit back from the old place, we had not actually moved out of it. We had packed nothing and, if we were discovered, could be evicted at any time. I was very glad to wake up. I guess my brain is processing the fear that I’ve forgotten something very important.

On Fridays T has to get up at 1:30AM so she can work extra early and make it to her 2PM class on time. Remember our neighbors whose living room and kitchen are on the other side of our bedroom wall? They tend to begin making noise (normal living noises, like opening and shutting cabinets and talking to each other and walking and opening and shutting closets) around 9PM and don’t quiet down until around midnight. This does not help T’s need to be ASLEEP during those hours, as she is a light sleeper and jerks awake at every noise they make. Really, though, why do we need to be able to hear and follow your conversations from the other side of the wall? So she ended up sleeping on the sofa last night. Then they woke me up several times this morning while I did my usual Friday morning sleep in.

I don’t do well with being disturbed, and when T is disturbed I get cranky. (Yes, I am protective of my T-Bear.) Therefore, this morning I am in a mood.

It is time for me to buy a white noise machine. Also, why are my people (black people) so DAMN LOUD?

10:59AM: T called. Hearing her voice makes me feel much better. She agrees with the idea of a white noise machine, too.

    I hope the white noise machine takes care of it! It’s so frustrating when noise wakes/keeps you up in your own home. Sometimes I’ve tried playing white noise mp3 files on my computer, too, though I have a feeling the machines are better.

    Thanks! I remember my first counselor had one, and it certainly masked the noise outside her door. So I think this will be a good solution. They aren’t making the kind of noise we feel we should call public safety over; we just need our bedroom quieter than they seem capable of being.

    A white noise machine is good. When it gets too loud for me (which is fortunately, not that often anymore now that loud sexing neighbor has moved out) I use the white noise apps on my phone and plug in the ear buds. Being a light sleeper is definitely challenging at times.
