The Good, The Bad & The Ugly - Easter Weekend Edition.

*The Good: I spent Saturday & Sunday with Levi and it was EXACTLY what I needed.  It was peacefully blissful! I loved every minute of it!  It was quiet, relaxing and the pure definition of peace.  I. LOVED. IT.!!!  It was nice to take a nap and not awake to stomping feet from above, friends of my upstairs neighbor constantly whistling/yelling/calling out for them or any other stressful thing.  I love nothing more than spending time with Levi. Also, it was so lovely being able to sit next to some of my favorite people at church, Levi & Ame, while listening to Mac's wonderful talk on the Resurrection & Atonement. 

*The Bad: I went to sleep so dang late.  I started watching Criminal Minds and thought I should watch several episodes.  Who goes to sleep at 4am when they need to be work at 8:30. Bad choice!

*The Ugly: As I was walking out of my apt. this morning, my upstairs neighbor made an extremely loud noise... as if they dropped something very large and heavy! TWICE IN A ROW!  I seriously thought something was going to fall through our ceiling.  It pissed me off, so I walked back to the kitchen, grabbed a broom and hit the ceiling 3 times.  I could hear them yelling, and as I walked out the door, she stuck her head out the window to yell at me.  We went at it for a minute or two, and luckily the security guard came around the corner just as it was ending.  He knows about the ongoing problem these people are, so he went upstairs to talk to them.  She/Debra answered the door and said that they had "dropped a couch".   How do you drop a couch so that it makes two loud noises, a few seconds apart?  I just can't stand these neighbors of mine! Go away bad dream!

I haven't been able to sleep well, for the last few nights.  My upstairs neighbors have been SO. EFFIN. EXTREMELY. LOUD. til the early morning hours.  Unfortunately I can hear EVERYTHING because they not only make noise inside their apartment, their foul mouthed loud fights drag outside to the back parking lot and everywhere in between [aka: all the surrounding windows of my apartment].  I almost called the cops twice because it's just a damn nuisance!!!  Plus I'm so tired of hearing those chicks have loud & VERY vigorous sex.  Last night/this morning, I heard them going at it 3 times!
I'm just in terrible mood, today.  I'm so dog tired.  My Meniere's is back with a vengeance and it's kickin' my ass--hardcore.   My hearing in my left ear is shot, unless I hold a part of my neck to make the "whooshing" noise subside.   All I want to do is sleep...some good, deep, uninterrupted SLEEP.

Damn, I seriously loathe my neighbors. 

Like a good neighbor...

...State Farm is there.

I wish State Farm was my neighbor...my upstairs neighbor.

Several weeks ago, around 2am, I heard someone near my bedroom window loudly whispering, "Drea! Drea! Drea!" (my upstairs neighbor's name) This went on for a bit, then the friend started to tap her car horn.  I hit my blinds so I could let this person know that someone was annoyed by it.  Then it started back up again...

"DREA! (beep) DREAAAAA! (beep,beep) DREA!"

Was this chick serious?? Oh man, that started to piss me off.  Part of me wanted to go outside, but at the same time, it was dark & 2am, so I decided to just yell at her from my window.  She stopped, apologized, jumped in her car and then laid on her horn as she drove away.  

Oh man, I was pissed!!! 

*Question: Who the hell does that?!?!  

*Answer: The same person who did it this morning at 6am.  

I woke up hearing, "Drea! Shawn!" I recognized that voice.  I waited and then heard it again.  I immediately texted my sister saying that I wanted to go out there and give her a piece of my mind.  So I did.  She was in her car texting and I walked up and said, "What the hell are you thinking??!  Do you not realize that people are asleep???  Seriously annoying! Walk the hell up there and get your friend!"  [Yeah, I was pretty pissed because I woke up 2 hours earlier than necessary! AND it's just downright rude!]

She wasn't really looking at me, which kinda got me more mad, continued texting and said, "Yeah, I'm sorry.  The front door is chained and I can't get in.  And last time I was sick."

"I don't friggin' care!!!  Just stop already!! So damn rude!! I'll be telling the manager!!" (which I can, because it's my sister.)

I started to walk back into my place, but decided to go upstairs and wake up Drea.  If I'm awake, I sure as hell am gonna wake Drea up now!  I knocked hard on her door several times.  I didn't hear any type of movement.  I didn't want to wake up the neighbor across from her and everyone else because I know I don't enjoy being woken up so early, on a Saturday morning.  Before knocking for the last time, I loudly said, "HEY!! YOUR FRIEND'S TRYING TO GET A HOLD OF YOU AND WAKING EVERYONE ELSE UP!!!"

I went back to my place to TRY to fall back asleep, but I was too riled up!!  I needed this neighbor to know exactly how I felt.  So as the song says, "I'm gonna sit right down and write me a letter"...and address it to Drea:

When I got home from Softball, I marched right up there and taped it to her door.  Yeah, let's hope she gets the hint!  I did want to add a postscript that said, "P.S. Your loud & extremely vigorous sex at 3am is also very disturbing!", but I'll save that for the next note that I'm sure I'll have to leave soon enough.
