It's better - it has to be, right?

Quick one... the new place is cool. I love the high ceilings and tall windows, the abundant light. It's nice to have 4 rooms instead of two. Mind you, all of them are piled with boxes and large garbage bags, with just thin trails to allow me to get to the fridge, the sink, the bathroom, the bed (which itself is completely surrounded by stuff. I can't see the floor.)

It's also nice not to have neighbours across a wall or across the hall. But now I have people overhead, which is a whole new ball 'o wax. Thump thump thump they go! Up and down their outdoor stairs (to the side of the house) like a small herd of elephants 50 times each day, with large dog in tow. And the horking! OK... it's only one guy, not four as it was before... Just one, but he seems to have a very bad cold or lung condition. I sure hope it clears up soon. I do plan to inquire solicitously about it. Because it's pretty bad, and I can hear it very clearly. And it's extremely stomach-turning.

But now my TV is reconnected so I can play music or something to cover up the sound of---HEY! Didn't I move from the last place so I wouldn't have to resort to these sorts of tactics?

Sigh.

Really, though -- happy to be here.
