Having to ask a neighbor to turn down his music, which vibrates the floor and walls, at 9:30 am is not what I consider the most auspicious start to the morning. Of course, the fact that Jess usually sleeps in (depending on how late she had to work the night before) made it much easier to do.

This has been going on for a while, but today was the first day that I’ve gone down there; I almost went down there yesterday, but Jess was already up and it was kind of moot. He was quite amenable when I asked him to turn it down and explained that Jess usually works late. It’s nice when people can work out their differences like adults.

Peace.
