Noisy neighbors kid

by The Diva

My neighbors kid is making noise again. I swear I’ve barely slept since Febuary! Honest. I think that’s when the woman next store took her toddler out of day care and started working at home and of course that’s when all the noise began.

The kid is obviously going through the terrible two’s and oh how terrible they are and to make matters worse the parents have told us that they don’t like to say no to her because it makes her reaction worse. Duh … well times a kid has to learn what no means. So since February she’s been screaming at 6 am, thumping her feet at all times of day, slamming doors and just making a ton of noise and to top every thing off her parents didn’t seems to realize that we, in the adjoining house next door, could hear all the noise right through the walls.

It’s awful. We’ve talked to the neighbors a few times about the noise and for a while things got better. Now I think that the noise got better because they were putting in a fence and they wanted us to go along with it and now that the fence is in they don’t care any more so they’re letting their daughter run wild again. Sigh … so much for my sleep. I think I’m going to buy a tent and maybe some Sierra Designs Sleeping Bags and then I’m going to camp out in my backyard. Maybe they’ll see the tent and get the idea and maybe I’ll get a better sleep.

Strange observations about my neighborhood

by The Diva

It seems like all of my neighbors, the younger ones anyway, are working in computer related companies. I didn’t realize it until recently, but the more I talk to different people in the area, I realize that a good portion of them work in software or make computer parts or sell computer parts.

Strange.

Even my next door neighbors. The lady works at home on her computer … like me, and her husband mentioned something about working with megameeting web conferencing software. I don’t know exactly what he does, something to do with management at his company I think.

Even I work in computers – sort of. I mean, I have several blogs and since I’m home on medical leave I do a lot of writing! Come to think of it … maybe there’s a lot of bloggers in the neighborhood too, because there seems to be a lot of people at home during the day. Strange stuff.

A belate birthday party for my niece

by The Diva

I think we’re going to the inlaws this weekend. My sister in law is going to be there with her young daughter and we’re going to have a belated birthday celebration for her.

I’m making a cake on Friday to bring with us and I have to remember to get some rc batteries for a toy that I bought for her too. I love parties for kids. Unfortunately I don’t think there’s really going to be any other kids at the party, but I’m sure my niece will enjoy her belated birthday party anyway … who doesn’t enjoy a second or third or forth birthday party?

I wish I could relax this weekend

by The Diva

All I want to do this weekend is relax, but I don’t think there’s any hope of that – not at all. If the weather holds up I have to work in the garden, in particular near the fence that’s about to be replaced on Monday. You see, we have trellises and plants attached to the fence so we have to take things down so that when the old fence comes down on Monday we’ll be ready.

I also have to prepare for a birthday party for my husbands uncle. His family put me in charge of getting the personalized birthday banners so I have to look into that this weekend too.

On top of all that my Cable/Internet/Wireless company – Rogers – is really stressing me out. It’s a long story but they sent me a new phone at the beginning of May and I didn’t like it so I sent it back. They then charged me a cancellation fee of $400 twice, and gave my cellphone number away to someone else (I got it back!) .. but to keep it short, all these things have conspired to make it almost impossible for me for me to get another new phone because they kept telling me that 1. the other phone hasn’t been put back into stock so I can’t get another phone, and 2. now that the other phone has been put back into stock finally (as of May 30th two full weeks after it was returned!) some problem with them giving my cell phone number away two weeks ago is now causing a glitch in my account and not allowing hardware upgrades. DUH!!!!!!!!!! ROGERS SUCKS!

I’m so very stressed tonight and well .. for the last couple of weeks because basically I’ve been on the phone to Rogers for hours and hours in the month of May trying to fix these problems and get the phone that I want … I kind of felt earlier today that I might have a heart attack. Yes that’s how stress out they are making me.

So you can see why I really want to just relax this weekend? I’m going to try my best …

Noisy Neighbor Syndrome

by The Diva

I feel like I’ve barely been getting any sleep over the last few months. Actually I don’t just feel like I haven’t been getting much sleep, I know I haven’t been. I have noisy neighbor syndrome.

What’s noisy neighbor syndrome you ask? Well I’d imagine that you can guess what it is if you try. We live in a semi detached house so our neighbors house is attached to ours – just on the other side of ours. In other words there is a common wall between our two homes and likely due to the fact that our neighbors have hardwood floors we can hear all the jumping and running around that their two year old daughter does every single day from 7 in the morning until sometimes as late as midnight.

I have chronic pain due to Crohn’s Disease and other illnesses so I don’t sleep well to begin with and lately it seems that whenever I am just about to fall asleep my neighbors daughter starts up with her noise. So yeah … noisy neighbor syndrome … Anyone know how to remove dark circles ’cause unless I start getting a good sleep I think the dark circles under my eyes are going to become permanent.
