I’ll give you a minute to let that sink in.

It’s only for about a month, but still, I’M MOVING IN WITH MY PARENTS! My my new place, which I am totally stoked about,  should be ready sometime mid to late September.

Two moves in one months time.

Also, have I mentioned school starts this week too?

If you need me I’ll be at the liquor store…  I hear you can get great moving boxes from there.

For the most part, I have really enjoyed my little place. That is, until the past 2 months when the new upstairs neighbors from hell moved in! Now, I’ve lived in apartments for the greater part of my adult life so I am accepting of a lot of things, but these neighbors are ridiculous! The are night owls who like to start pacing above my bed at exactly the time I am trying to go to sleep. I know you are going to think I am just being dramatic, but I swear they wear lead boots too. They also play a game every night where they open and shut every drawer and cupboard in their place then go out on the balcony 3 or 4 times slamming the door on their way. I’m sure it’s a lot of fun for them but all I hear is stomp-creek, slam, slide, creek, creek, stomp, stomp and occasionally the err err, err err of their bed while they are doing the nasty.

The worst part is, there is absolutely nothing I can do about it… except move.

But I don’t want to move! What with all the packing and lifting of heavy furniture. Ugh! I’ve moved 5 times in the last 4 years and none of the times has been what I consider fun.

So what’s a girl to do?

I spoke with the leasing office and they said I could upgrade to a newly remodeled top level apartment for basically the same price as I am paying now (guess the economy has been hard on them too).

But moving… again? Blah!

So now it’s crunch time. Deal with annoying neighbors for another year or move. Somehow I don’t feel like there is a right answer here.

PS – anyone have a truck?

I laid down in bed some time around midnight only to hear my lovely neighbor SNORING! This is actually nothing new. I even wrote about it last year. So I went out of my own room to lay down on the couch where it was quiet but not comfortable. I stumbled back into the bedroom around 2… or maybe 3, I’m not really sure, to get a few more restless hours of sleep. I was wide awake a 6 which NEVER happens for me but I got up and ready for the day.

As I was grabbing my keys to head out the door, I got a text.

Mom: “Heard there was a fight and a killing at your apt complex early this AM. Did you hear anything, was it close to you?”

Me: “Awesome. Nope, didn’t hear anything.”

Mom: “Well I’m glad to know that.”

At this point I am walking out to my car looking around for any criminals who may still be lurking. I always thought I lived in a fairly safe neighborhood, but I guess now days you never can tell. I start thinking that maybe I am going to need to move or buy mace or a gun and crap, did I lock my sliding door? When I get another text.

Mom: “You are at the Springs right?”

Me: “No… your other daughter lives there.”

Mom: “Oops, got you mixed up! Your still at a reputable place I imagine!”

So now I don’t know how to feel. Relieved that murders are not happening next door, or worried about my sister. Sheesh! Texts like that are more effective than coffee. I’m wide awake and jittery already!
