Day two of people working on the roof of the apartment complex. The first day wasn't so bad--some general bumping around, but it was quiet and constant enough that I could tune it out. (Except for the occasional loud thud and our windows shaking...) That is not the case for today. I swear to god they had a dance-off up there this morning and someone seems to be trying to get a second round going this afternoon. I have an awful headache from the pounding.
And the worst part? These guys don't stop at five. They go until there's no more light. It's only a few hours more, but darnit I want some peace!
I'd be less pissed off about the whole thing if the complex had had the decency to notify us that roof work was going to be done.
In happier news, Kent and I have an apartment in Dallas now. We're leaving Galveston at the end of the week and moving in on Monday, February 1st. We even have the option to move in a day or two earlier if we decide to leave Galveston a bit earlier. And all we have to do is call the complex and give them a heads up.
We're going to have a washer and dryer IN the apartment. I cannot explain how excited I am about this. I've also decided to make my own laundry soap in celebration of this and as a first step toward the greener way of life Kent and I have discussed for awhile now. The move seems like a nice kick-off point.
