Yeah, it was pretty harsh. Got used to it as the day wore on, though. Think I might actually like it. Wouldn’t mind at all if it sticks around for a while. Although it seems to have melted a lot of people’s brains. Three different times today I almost ran into someone because they blew right through a stop sign. And one of them looked at me as if I were the ass.
Yeah. When she gave me that look I saluted her for her superior stupidity.
We bought a rug cleaner on Saturday and went nuts cleaning. We started in the computer room on Saturday and did the living room and dining room yesterday. I’m amazed at the difference. And I still can’t get over how much stuff we’ve thrown out just from the computer room alone, and how much we still have to go through. It’s the room where everything goes when I don’t know what else to do with it. The Man took out 4 or 5 garbage bags and 2 large boxes full of stuff to the dumpster. There may have been a few things we could’ve sold on eBay, but it wasn’t worth the hassle. We just wanted it gone.
As we were readying the computer room for rug cleaning, we heard the very loud “boom, boom, boom” of someone’s stereo. One of my biggest pet peeves where we live is people having no consideration for their neighbors. The volume some people play their music at is just unacceptable for our type of living arrangement. Well, we finally figured out that the music was coming from the guy living in the unit directly below us. You remember him – the one who stole our doormat (although The Man still thinks it could have been an accident…). Now, when this guy first moved in, he was quick to complain about how loud other people play their music so all I can figure is after a few months he figured it’s okay for him to do too.
Well... ummm... it's not.
We get more than our share of loud music (so loud you can sing along to it) from the people across the hall, the stoner next door and the people in the next building over whose unit abuts ours. We realized that it was new boy downstairs who was playing it so loudly this time, and then also realized that it’s been him that’s been blasting it at 11:30 at night for the past few weeks.
So guess what we did? We gave him a taste of what he was dishing. All I can say is, God bless The Man for buying a sub-woofer for the computer. I signed on to Rhapsody (this is not a Rhapsody plug - I hate it and am searching for a new music provider), looked up 'Tool' but all they had was some talkie-album thing. So we went for 'A Perfect Circle''s 3rd CD, which is heavily 'Tool' influenced (and if you know these two bands you know why), turned it up as loud as we could stand it and by the third song, he’d completely turned his music off. If he does it again, I’m marching downstairs and stealing my doormat back.
The weekend prior to this one we made a trip to Bed, Bath & Beyond. We were in need of a new comforter for the bed and some new bathroom rugs and towels. The comforter we got is so soft and comfortable I nearly drool just thinking about it.
The sleep study went about as I expected. In total I maybe got 3 hours of sleep. However, as tired as I was and as much as I hated wearing that mask, I felt better after those 3 hours of sleep than I do on a normal morning after a normal night of sleep. I'm expecting my doctor to call with results next week.
Scheduled my fibroid surgery already, too. Seems as though everything is happening at once. I'll be glad to have it all done and over with.
And Zee is coming down this weekend! YAY!!! Zee, does it have a name yet? ;-)
That's all for now. Good night!
