Sunshine and Light

Wee hours

The last few nights of sleep have been a little uneven.

Two nights ago, I was awakened at 2:30 AM by Chris calling the police on our new neighbors down the street. Apparently they had been partying on, Garth, for quite awhile. I, sedated by a lovely glass of Leffe, had slept right through it. But I wasn't sedated enough to miss the 5:30AM shriek of "I DON'T GIVE A F***, NIGGA" that had Chris leaping out of bed for the second time that night. Apparently the police were having another round with our lovely partying neighbors, and someone was headed at least to the drunk tank if not actual jail. After 15 more minutes in bed, while the heart still pounded, I got up and walked Fred monster which was actually a good thing. The rains hit about an hour later.

Last night, our immediate neighbors who share a driveway, and whose windows directly parallel ours, got a knock at their door at 3:40 AM from their college age daughter. Or more correctly, she pounded on their door for 5 minutes with no response from inside. At which point Chris went downstairs to get the phone. And I slammed our parallel bedroom window shut. The pounding on the door stopped.

Our next house is going to be 3 miles from anyone.
