Finally winding down after what’s been a busy – and highly annoyingly noisy – day with gorgeous weather. I aired the place out a bit. It was truly beautiful, but with the nicer weather comes more car stereos that can be heard at night, risk of hot flashes waking me up, and more activity in the park. The guy on the other corner is being thoroughly obnoxious again that I’m contemplating whether or not to complain to the office or maybe email Joy. Hammering and making other loud sounds every so often is fine, but this little cock’s been at it again regularly and it’s getting old. Had to listen to it today for over 6 hours. What is it with all these seemingly needless repairs he does on his place anyway? The house is utterly gorgeous and in great condition from what I can see. What more does it need done to it? 

If only he could be doing all this shit in preparation to sell it so I don’t have to listen to his shit anymore, but the guy appears to be in his 50s or 60s. In an adult community that’s not the age you usually sell out at. 

I’m just afraid the office won’t be much help quieting him down. Technically, one has the right to make all the noise they want if it’s during the daytime. I just wish he’d give me the same courtesy I give people around here. Unless it’s necessary landscaping, we don’t make people listen to our shit. Bastard should at least shut the garage door when hammering. You know… common sense, common courtesy? 

Anyway, there was a lot of noise in the park today. Not just from him. People were on their roofs, people were landscaping, people were gardening, people were out and about doing pretty much everything and anything. Until the heat rolls in in a few months, this is how it’s going to be, although we are in for another cool and wet spell on Sunday and Monday. 

Been reading Once Gone by Blake Peirce. It’s a good murder mystery. Now that it’s dark and quiet, I think I just might do a little work on my own story. 

Was going to go out walking this evening, but nah. I did a half-hour on the Bowflex and we did a quick bike ride today and yesterday down to the lake. Just a quick one to get our muscles back in shape for that kind of exercise. 

My jaw and gums still ache and sting a bit, but I haven’t needed any ibuprofen today. Tammy sure can’t seem to catch a break, though. Now she’s got to have nerves cut along her spine, and well, that’s going to take longer to recover from than when they cut leg nerves. :(
