Sundries

I broke my fast Friday afternoon. Most of my energy came back immediately, and the rest was back by Saturday.

Friday night I made the most wonderful carrot soup in my crockpot.  It is SO GOOD.

The neighbors upstairs did... something..... I don't know what.... to muffle their music.  Last night I could tell they had their music on but it was coming through the ceiling very vaguely, and is acceptable.

I can only hope this continues and they continue to implement whatever they did.  I'm not sure if they were on full volume or not, I didn't go upstairs to check.  But I will, just because I am curious.

The good thing about this is that I'm..... slowly.... starting to release the anxiety around it.
The landlord must have really put the pressure on them, which I deeply appreciate.  He wasn't keen on my wanting to do soundproofing construction.  Especially since they lied about the last time they blasted.  They told the landlord they weren't--- but I had sent video proof of the noise coming from their apartment.  It is always good to listen to your intuition, even when it tells you to do some odd things. The landlord believed me.

What I truly want is peaceful and harmonious living with those around me.
And honestly I still hope they move but if this is how it will be going forward, and they don't blast my home, I'm fine with it.  Time will tell.

I'm still driving, and doing very well.
Driving in my neighborhood is totally different from rush hour Manhattan and the Bronx, and I'm pretty comfortable with it, actually.  I'm now driving with Mohammed, who has 5% vision in his left eye, so he gets it.  AND- it is totally completely fine!

I just need to get on the freeway, then I should be good to go.  I feel so much better, truly.
Mohammed is supercool, a great guy, and this is just the last bit of instruction that I need.

He says yes, definitely, rent a zipcar and practice.

Charlie is a good teacher.  I do have to say that.
He did give me a good foundation, and a lot of experience in difficult situations.
This makes me more relaxed in a "normal" environment, because I have absolutely been through worse. And I'm so used to looking out for 5 million things, so when it is just 2 million it is a lot easier.

Daya gets her mouth-fence off today! (braces)
I will be done paying for it in December.
Sort-of, as I have incurred debt.
