On a positive note(s)
- I love the internet. We lost touch with a friend because we misplaced his address and then we moved. We had been searching off and on for years, but were not successful — but he was! He found my blogs. Definitely brought a smile to our faces, he was one of our favorite people - and Leon found him great to work with as a fellow actor as well!
It was so cool to see a comment on my blog that gave me enough of a hint I knew! We have since been in contact by email.
Yes, I love the internet- both for meeting new cool people - and for finding the old, among other reasons. - Leon is going to introduce himself to the complainer — nicely, not puff up his chest like an animal and rant… after all, it must be hard living beneath someone when the floors are tile - but then, if this condo wanted extreme quiet they should have made carpeting mandatory.
- I am pacing like a caged tiger, but trying to pace with a dancer’s gait rather than my foot landing hard on the floor — seems the harder I try the less dance like it gets… And, no, I did not put on spike heels to dance-pace in — I’m trying to put myself in his shoes, but in the shoes I normally wear, thongs or hiking boots with quiet soles, I would just think, oh, they must be doing something, and I would turn up the volume on my TV or go back to my blogging.
- If we stay, we are going to try to mitigate the noise of the desk chairs rolling across the tile out of courtesy - not because he is a complainer, but would for anyone who lives beneath us for I cannot stay still unless I am lost in reading. I saw plastic pieces for tile floors, not sure if they would dampen the sound enough — if I get rugs, it will have to be bath mats laid together so I can wash them weekly in hot water — I don’t do chemicals — and I am allergic to dust mites.
- Our downstairs neighbor will get quiet this morning — other than I bumped the wall sweeping. I am not doing a thing until Leon gets back from his meetings; the slat sets for the bed are both stacked a bit precariously on a set of wire drawers with other stuff stacked around them - and if I bump them –well, you know. So, I’m just going to imagine the floor plan if we stay. And, yes, I could stretch that thought process all day if need be.
