jon_chaisson | Weekend Update Really Hates Insomnia

Someone downstairs has been renovating one of the second floor apartments for what seems like two months, and it's driving me absolutely fucking BONKERS because lately he's been doing work late at night. Like doing some minor sanding, hammering or drilling at 9pm. It usually doesn't last long. But last night he decided that said drilling and hammer tapping was totally fine and A-OK AT MIDNIGHT.

Seriously. DUDE.

I mean, it wasn't much, but just enough to keep me awake, so I went downstairs to say something... and of course they pulled the 'maybe if I don't make a noise, they'll go away' on me. Suffice it to say, I ended up sleeping on the couch.and got maybe four or five hours of sleep. I'm a bit tired but I'll make do. I'll just have to find a way to confront him if he pulls that bullshit again.

ANYWAY.

Yesterday was All the Shopping and Cleaning, which kept me pretty busy. I didn't get any creative stuff done, but that's okay...a day off now and again is fine by me. Today I'll be getting a haircut (long overdue) and maybe a bit of brunch down at 9th and Irving, and after that we'll have the rest of the afternoon, so I can do my creative catch-up then. I'd also like to implement another whiteboard item today: scanning. I figure the weekends are perfect for me to spend an hour or so going through my longhand writing, artwork, and whatnot and scanning them into digital form. Just a little at a time, so by maybe mid-year I'll be caught up and literally all of my writing and art will be saved to a cloud. Posterity? Maybe, but at the moment my reason is 'I live a few miles from a major fault line, so maybe it's not that bad of an idea.' Heh.

OK! Time to finish up my coffee and get on the road. Hope everyone else is having a good weekend!
