Settled.
I finally did it — I called the police on my neighbor. I’d think that, after our little conversation today, he’d have the good sense to tone it down for at least one night, but apparently not. It’s not like I haven’t given him lots and lots of warning over the past six months, having …
So tired.
My next door neighbor, after a two-week reprieve, was at it again last night. The party started at 2am and ended at 4am. This, after I drove 300 miles yesterday to and from Charlottesville for a campaign meeting, getting back here just before 1am. I finally got to sleep at 4am, and was, to my …
