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.

The Ron Sexsmith Documentary – amazing

by The Diva

My husband and I are just watching the Ron Sexsmith documentary. He’s such and amazing musician – so talented and yet so undiscovered.

The documentary is kind of sad in a way because it seemed like he’s spent his whole career struggling pretty much in poverty, yet everyone seems to be so much in awe of his talent. I live in Toronto and I remember seeing him perform live in a bar in the early 90’s and just being blown away by his talent back then … it’s sad that he still has to struggle to make it in some ways.

I believe he actually had a new album coming out. I’m going to do a search when I finish this post and if I find it I’m going to buy it and play it so loud on my stereo that it blows the speakers right off the speaker stands lol.

My silly leash pulling dog

by The Diva

I was just saying on one of my other blogs that my dog gave me a real work out today. I discovered that if I only used her leash on her rather than her prong collar as well as leash that I get a massive workout.

Of course … along with a workout I’m sure if I did this all the time I’d probably have more than a few injuries since I also have a bad back and bad knees. LOL But I’m guess I wouldn’t need to use something like Lipofuze as I have a feeling that with all that pulling on the leash that my dog does when she doesn’t have her prong collar on I must burn double the calories!

We were out talking with our neighbors and our dog Midnight was over excited and wanting to explored their yard and it was all I could do to just hold on to the leash! She’s crazy when she’s showing off in front of people she likes. Silly dog!

Getting a new Smartphone

by The Diva

I’ve had some awful cellphone experiences this week. Last week I was talking with my Cellphone provider and my contract had expired and somehow they managed to talk me into signing up for another three years and since my phone was 6 years old they sent me a free Blackberry.

The Blackberry arrived at my house on Monday, but since I don’t want a data plan I can’t even get the Wifi to work because it’s not free with the Blackberry. So … I’m returning the Blackberry and I guess I’ll be picking out another phone or maybe evening buying another phone elsewhere. I was even looking at this incredible s phone that might suit my needs – it’s an HTC … but I’d probably need a Data plan with it, so I’ll have to check that out.

Right now I’m seriously thinking about turning in the Blackberry and getting a Nokia N8 or a Samsung Colby Pro. I’m leaning more towards the Nokia. Does anyone have experience with either of these phones or have any other suggestions … keep in mind that I likely won’t be getting a data plan with the phone but I’d like to take advantage of being able to use Wifi if an when it’s available.

Time to get the trailer ready for summer travel

by The Diva

It seems like this month is going by so fast! Didn’t it just start? It seems that way to me.

Sometime in June my husband and I are going to take a short trip with our trailer, but before we can do that we need to get our trailer ready for travel. I hate to admit that it’s not in the best shape as it hasn’t been stored all that well. I think my husband said something about us having to replace the curt trailer hitch. I also need to top up all the summer supplies and towels and things like that too.

Do you have a trailer or a summer cabin that you use regularly each summer?
