4 in morning call to my landlord
I made the mistake of sleeping in my bedroom last night, to light sounding music from below, and a strange duo talking, only to wake up at 2 to more music and duo talking, so I called my landlord, to leave a message on his answering machine----but he actually picked up the phone, at 4 in morning!
65 year old white neighbor isn't even home---and he doesn't drive to Newark on a weekly basis to see friends and family? It'll be loud party time tonight, if past trips are any indication.
I told the landlord I don't want him to "talk" to downstairs idiot; I just wanted landlord to know what's going on in case all this escalates.
Inevitable for me to move once I have money saved---if only cause downstairs idiot might have people living with him, and 4-eyed nerd me is probably regarded as any easy target. I scotch taped anti-burglary signs to my walls minutes ago; might as well bicycle to walmart at 5 now that I'm all wound up (exercise; lemonade from lemons---ha!)

Anti bulgary signs on your walls. REALLY? Sorry Mike but that sounds a little nutty to me. But if others are invading I guess that changes everything . Wishing you well
\"warning: reward against thieves----your friends will squeal\" are signs I have on my kitchen roof, where 10 years ago somebody was caught trying to get into adjacent building. And copper pipes were stolen from the adjacent building when it became empty.
Some other adjacent neighbors years ago stole stuff out of cars up the street, and then sold the stolen stuff to a 2nd hand store down the street; such dummies are scarier than \"usual?\" thieves.
I just have to get used to the downstairs guy playing music and getting wasted to 5 in the morning; I plan to call the landlord in 2 hours and tell him...I...have to adjust to this new situation. And, I wont mention that having an all night flophouse apt usually leads to trouble; I just have to stay calm till it does happen. Nothing like a 4 mile bike ride to calm one\'s nerves.
Gosh. This story just keeps getting more unbelievable all the time! What is the latest?
latest: I\'ve been sleeping on a mattress in my living room---and getting too much sleep. my cat seems to like me laying on the floor, with him laying nearby;)
I gave up trying to call the landlord---he and his wife smiled and tooted their horn as they drove by me yesterday; they keep on telling me that they grew up in a rough section of Philadelphia and nothing fazes them in my hick town.
but...gag...I plan on staying out the back yard till at least two good rains; either a little kid whose dad is renting the landlord\'s garage, or some homeless above me, who has kid on weekend, left a pair of underwear and a certain body movement near the garage at other end of yard.
not unbelievable to me, just more of the same;)
Sounds rough. Hopefully you\'ll be able to move somewhere else eventually.
I admire you so much Mike. You are definitely one of the toughest people I know. But is there really such a thing as too much sleep>
Sleep time is when I forget everything. I am NOT suicidal but something sleep is so delicious I just wish I could go to sleep and never wake up.
But I have a Mom,Dad, Hubbie, two cats and two horses depending on me.
thanks, again, Naturegirl65, and TroJanThunder.
Some of the stuff I go through makes me post, to get it out my system, and other stuff, which might seem easier but maybe mentally worse for me, I can\'t write about...which is why/an excuse for my irregular posting here.
