Poopyhead justices are enjoying making us wait!

As long as it comes this week. Which it's supposed to. I figure the closer to Pride, the more fun it will be. Or the more of a traditional, riot-type Pride.

Timelies all!

The con is over. It was great. I had to get up too early to drive our toastmaster to the airport. Sleepy cat is sleepy.

This is one of the reasons I have a roommate. When there is another person in the house, my subconscious assigns all random noises to them, and I sleep fine. When there is not, suddenly any noise I hear is someone COMING TO KILL ME. ...I have no idea why my brain is convinced that's going to happen (so far 35 years, no one has broken into the house to kill me), or why someone else being in the house would somehow STOP that, but...yeah.

When I had roommates and our duplex was Grand Central Station for all our friends to hang out at, the roomies' activities and sounds wouldn't disturb me but I'd snap WIDE awake if someone who didn't live there entered.

I lived alone in fairly high-crime areas with cats (not like, lots of criminal cats, heh) for a LONG time, and it took me a while to get used to noises when I moved in with D. He's IT; I'm Head of Security.

One of the many things I miss about living at the Greenstone is the buffering from random noise. I had 18-inch brick walls and 14-inch floor timbers between me and any of my neighbors, so about the only internal noise I could hear was my across-the-hall neighbor's smoke alarm when it went off (and that faintly unless I had the kitchen door open). There was some noise from the expressway through the windows, but because we were on a bluff and I was three stories up that was mainly a low background hum unless a semi was downshifting as it passed. Or a car's engine exploded on the exit ramp we overlooked, which weirdly happened more than once.

I just missed my department staff meeting. For no reason! It removed itself from my calendar, apparently, and no one thought to call me? I dunno. My department is weird.

I live in very quiet neighborhood VERY close to Richy McMansionville. It's weird. I mean, I like it, but I don't know my neighbors and it's just different than what I'm used to.

I haaaaate the noise outside my apartment -- there's a really loud piece of HVAC machinery that makes a ton of white noise that makes me crazy. I would much rather hear traffic and street noises out the window, given a neighborhood of mostly people with mostly dayjobs.
