An...Interesting Day

katstalesWoke up to major drama from the upstairs neighbors yesterday morning. Again. They're newlyweds, or so we've been told. So anyway, after much stomping (again) and screaming (again) and slamming of doors (again) and slamming of other stuff (again), the guy apparently left her. Next came the screaming phone call to let him know that she was having the locks changed so he wouldn't be able to get back in later if he didn't come back right then and there. ::sigh::
This all started back on Dec 1, several months after they moved in. That's when they started sleeping in separate bedrooms. I know waaaay more about these people than I ever wanted to know. He's not working and apparently spent a few months in jail recently. She's tired of paying all the bills and not getting any help with household chores. See? Waaaay more than I ever, ever wanted to know!
After one particularly loud battle in their kitchen, my son stood on a chair and pounded on the ceiling. They toned it down and he stormed out (as usual). Shortly after, my son left for work and encountered the guy in the parking lot. As my son passed him, the guy snarled at him that he should "learn to mind his own god damn business." My son countered by informing him that wasn't some girl the guy could slap whenever the mood strikes, so bring it on, and that if he didn't want people to know his business they should stop screaming it loud enough to be heard over his neighbors' televisions. The guy huffed off without another word and hasn't spoken to him or us since. Anyway, his Jeep was back within the hour after her ultimatum, so I'm sure we're in for a lot more drama and screaming matches before all is said and done. :(
Then my daughter decided that she couldn't wait any longer to move around all the boxes and junk in her bedroom. (Some of it is ours, some hers.) I ended up being late to my writer's group meeting due to trying to help her.
When I finally got to the meeting, I quickly rediscovered how much fun these guys are. Even if they (The Jenna!) did make me read part of my NaNo novel--which had not been edited at all yet--to the group. :D Next meeting I will definitely be bringing something that's been edited for more than five minutes and hopefully will not embarrass myself. It's so awesome to spend time with people who really *get it* when it comes to writing. And what was really amazing was the range of material in the group--and how interesting all of them were! I'm already really, really looking forward to our February meeting. ::grins::
And now it's off to bed so I can get up and get some chores out of the way in order to spend my afternoon playing on YIM in the SGA sandbox. :D
