Cross patch in One day at a time

I am feeling cross. Not angry exactly just annoyed and well, crotchety seems like a good description too. It all stems back to still not feeling great and not getting enough sleep. I live in a 2 bedroom flat (townhouse/apartment/unit/semi detached depending on which part of the world your live in), that means that one side of my house is co-joined with the house next door. That of course means I am stuck with the dramas of living so close to my neighbours.

Now there is a story about them, but I'm not quite sure how it goes. We have a high fence and I can't see over it, so most of my intel is based on what I can hear. So about 18 months ago a couple moved in, Nathan - nice guy, bit dim but friendly and his girlfriend Candace - shrill voice and always nagging at him. TMI but she is a real screamer. So then she disappeared for about 8 weeks and we thought yay she is gone, or maybe just gone home to the UK on holiday. Then she comes back, and he moves out. The next day another guy moves in. So they now seem to be in the honeymoon phase, queue lot's more screaming. Now I don't object to anyone having a healthy sex life, but I would be a lot happier if all the screaming didn't take place between 2 and 3am. That's not the worst of it though, they have at least 2, maybe 3, large dogs. They go out a lot at night (they may even work nights, which would explain the weird schedule). While they are out the dogs bark and bark and bark. So I am having trouble getting a good nights sleep. Not pretty. When the are home the dogs are outside and come right up to the fence barking and snarling. I feel sorry for the dogs, I know it isn't their fault but my roomie is getting very frustrated with them.

Blardy feed up with not feeling great. I think I am at the tail end of it now. Just a bad cough and the odd killer headache. Still not much of an appetite, but that isn't a bad thing- I'm sure my love of all things sugar will be back before I know it.
