Memorial Day = drinking
Even though I am going away soon.

It seems that what I thought was okay - traveling with my mum - is not.
I understand how he feels that I am using vacation days which are precious in the US with her takes away from what we can do.

But I can't stop this habit. I can't. I want to travel with my mom while I can. He is understanding, but I also understand why he is upset.

At lease right this moment I can't tell the difference.

Sorry I haven't been on and I have so much to catch up on.

Moving to a new place takes A LOT of time. Particularly since i basically gave away all my furniture before I moved.

So, here is the issue.

At my new home the upstairs neighbor is really loud. At least in my mind. They also have a child (in a 1 bedroom apt????). From what I understand NY is fricking ridiculous and there is no limit on how many people can live in a one bedroom.

So I am thinking of just writing them a letter letting them know I can hear them - I figure they may not realize it when their child runs across the floor at 6 am.
Any suggestions on this? I find it hard to not throw anything rude or threatening - like I the fact they clearly don't have carpet over 80% of the apt, or bringing the management company involved.

So, please leave your suggestions below of how to just let them know I can hear them without switching into bitch mode.

I am totally packed ( I think).
Except for my clothes for the next two weeks and toiletries and a few dishes and utensils.

Tomorrow call cable and electric (understanding electric may not be open).

But the issue is I am sooooo sore.
Woke up at 3 am totally freaked out. Horrible nightmare that then led to me freaking out about my crazy landlord. That just meant I started packing and cleaning with a quick power nap at 2pm.

My body and feet are so sore. I think I must be getting old.

I have twenty garbage bags of belongings that are being donated to Veterans of America. I kinda can't wait for them to come and to take all these bags out of here! I think I feel like it is really just about complete.

Of course my best friends wedding is right before all of that!
April is nuts.
That is all!

I have decided to celebrate my birthday in May instead!

I am goin gto look at the last two apts tomorrow. I am so excited about one I feel like a kid at Christmas. However, I am aware it may not be what I think. But I may have trouble sleeping tonight.

I feel quite silly about being so giddy. The appt is at 10 am and I am fearful already of losing the apt I want....crazy.

I may need to find a new home.
This is not a big deal except I really thought the only time I was going to move out of this apartment was to move in with anti_duff.
And unfortunately things are so up in the air with his job we don't even know where we would look to live just yet.

I am also frustrated because I am pretty certain the wife is kicking me out so she can move in and that my actual landlord has no idea that this is happening. She tried to do this 2 years ago, but I called him and he took care of it. I am pretty sure that he is in South America right now. I am trying to protect myself as much as possible - I am making him send a notarized letter signed only by him - since I asked her to have him send one and she sent a notarized letter signed by herself and him. Yup I believe she signed his name after visiting the notary.

Part of me says just get the hell out of this situation rather than fight it.

But I am said because I don't want to sign another lease. I know I can always try to get a 6 month lease or try to break it once I am in it, but I just feel really stressed about all of it.

This economy can suck it. It has just slowed us from moving forward in our lives and relationship.

I also hate my landlord's wife.
