The sleep curse is back on. I was wondering what took it so long. They woke me up next door going back and forth to one another’s place. Why don’t they just live together and cut costs? Although money’s obviously not an issue for them if they can both afford not to work. I’m hoping that at least one of them is simply on vacation, but I doubt it. And so much for thinking Oregon weather would curb outdoor activities.

Thanks to them I’m not going to have much energy for working out today as I had planned, nor will I tomorrow. When I finally fell back asleep, I slept till 2:30, which means that I won’t be crashing till around 6:00 - 8:00, and I have to be up at noon. By 1:00 we want to go out to get those papers notarized, then to Jan’s. By now she should’ve definitely received her incense.

Anyway, I want to wake them up in return, but as always, I’m powerless to do so because, for one, I don’t know when they sleep. They just never seem to. I see them up at 1 AM, 8 AM, noon, 4 PM, the evenings, etc. It’s like they never sleep. Secondly, there’s nothing I could use to wake them up that wouldn’t disturb Beverly, and unless Beverly drives me crazy on the holidays, I don’t wish to disturb her.

So as always, my sleep is hit or miss, though I should start sleeping with the fan on high rather than medium, and use the sound machine, too.

There have been a few times when I thought a thump woke me up, and well, I thought right. It was obviously their damn doors.

Then, I could’ve sworn someone rang the doorbell at 10:00. That’s 3 times in less than a few weeks, so if the doorbell keeps on being a regular disturbance, I’m going to have him disconnect it.

It pisses me off to be dreading the holidays all over again. One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned over the last 5 years is to never assume you’ve escaped a bad thing for good. None of these people are going to go anywhere during the holidays. That much I’m sure of. But will they let me sleep? I hate it when others make their business mine and butt into my sleep!

We’re definitely on the wrong side of the duplex. The people in the house next to Beverly may have company too, but she doesn’t have people playing musical doors right outside her bedroom window, nor does she sometimes sleep all day. She doesn’t even have any doors right outside her bedroom window in the first place. Isn’t this why God had us end up on this side, though?

Due to the fact that the management people still haven’t cashed the deposit check, it makes us think they’re going to hold it until we move and then verify that we didn’t trash the place or anything, then return it to us. But what we don’t understand is why they haven’t cashed the check for $35 to do a criminal check. We’re hoping against all hope that they just forgot about it.
