You were warned with the title. It's your chocie to read on.
Apparently my upstairs neighbor had a revolving door put in and decided last night to make sure it was properly installed. It was. All night long people were in and out, and out and in. Up and down the stairs at least 20 times. Then they all congregated right outside my bedroom window, talking, screaming, laughing. They'd stomp across the front porch out to the car, slam the car door and drive away. Relief at last--WRONG! Moments later-right as I was drifting to sleep-they'd return. Same routine in reverse: car turns off, car door slams, stomp across the porch, then the laughing, screaming, talking. Up the stairs, down the stairs. Round and round again. Finally they'd stampede down the stairs, across the porch, and to the car one final time. I breathe in ready to salvage my night and try at last to get some sleep. And then at 4 a.m. the rhythmic and undeniable sounds of the headboard banging against the wall. 'Are you kidding me?!' I tried to ignore it, I told myself it'd be over soon. It was not over soon. It did not end quickly or quietly. I am convinced that my neighbor and his poor partner are trying out for a new Olympic sport. I don't know what they're up against for competition, but they definitely had endurance. I was exhausted after it all! I was tempted to check on the girl this morning to make sure she survived. I thought better of it; I realized if she did not survive it maybe there's a chance I'll sleep tonight.
I think I'll put my head down at my desk right now and dream of how glorious a full night's sleep will be.
When I first started this blog I made a commitment to myself to always include a scripture. Today no scripture seems appropriate. I did have this fleeting thought however. The bible says be angry and sin not. (Ephesians 4:26) Not be angry and post not. This is my medium to release my anger or else the sin not portion might not come very easily.
Peace out!
