Gah. What's worse than a window that's frozen shut? A window that's frozen open.

It makes me smile when I read how everyone here can sit at their computer and pay their bills. Not a clue do I have on how to do that. Today I left the house and filled the car with fuel, paying in cash. Went to the post office to pay two bills, in cash. A third bill won't allow post office payment so I drove to the nearest town and paid their bill at the bank, in cash.Coffee and bill paying first. Then as I look at my daily list..........looks like it is all house cleaning chores. Nothing exciting.
For you that works. You seem to enjoy it. For me, I don't have a car and that was my choice. I have been doing my banking and shopping online years now before I even moved here. I am definitely a computer person and do enjoy the process of doing as much online as I can. Even making friends.It makes me smile when I read how everyone here can sit at their computer and pay their bills. Not a clue do I have on how to do that.

Later I stopped off at the ATM and withdrew more cash, some of which I will need later when we shop for our provisions. I'm aware that all of that, with the exception of fuelling the car, can be done at the click of a button, even the provision shopping can be done on line. But there are benefits doing things my way, like getting out of the house, engaging with others and not getting onto big business profiles, so I will go on being a dinosaur for as long as cash is still accepted.

This is really weird. Not exaggerating. Yesterday, from the time I woke up till around 5pm, I was happy. I was actually happy. I wasn't doing anything special, hanging out here, doing stuff around the apt., no special reason to be happy, but I was.
I haven't felt this in so long, I can't remember when. Wasn't the overt joy I feel with my grandson. Just happy.
I wonder if it will ever happen again.
No....
I don't know. There are forces at work. Today, my superintendent of the co-op told me the brand new neighbors have been complaining non-stop about me and my "noise." They are bringing it to mgmt. I'm pissed, and have the desire to REALLY MAKE NOISE but I won't.I was quite unhappy for a while, and consciously worked at getting over it. Now the inexplicably happy days do happen now and then. I think you'll feel this way again!
No don't make any noise at all.. because Management may have asked them to record the noise to include in their complaint.. they're going to look very silly when they have no proof.... After that case is dismissed will be the time to make as much noise as you wish because by then no-one will believe them..I don't know. There are forces at work.

well be a little careful using the Deaf card, because they could say it's because you're deaf you don't realise you're making the noise..I was thinking the same, holly. I will, however, live my life normally. If that's not good enough I have some legalese I can use, like harassing a deaf senior citizen who is only operating in day time hours.
