Signs of life

Both of us were awakened at 5:20am to major water rushing through the pipes.

A shower was running downstairs. Unfortunately the way the apartments are set up, you can hear the water pretty loudly. It felt a little like old times.

I had seen a moving truck yesterday but had willed them to be living in another apartment. I guess that didn't work. Looks like we got a downstairs neighbor. And an early riser.

The silence was nice while it lasted.
It was exactly one month yesterday.

I know, I have a rather dramatic thing about noises. Call me crazy, but I love peace and quiet.

Oh man! That is a bummer! Well here is my tip...my parents conditioned me to sleep with white noise, and then when Joel and I got married I had to condition him to sleeping with a fan on. It took him a little while to get used to, but it really helps block out other noise.

Also, I have started sleeping sometimes with earplugs in when noises are bothering me. I am a little crazy about noises and sleeping too. :)
Good luck!
