First night in the sinkhole
I spent my first night in the new house last night. A couple of things hadn't occurred to me before I made the decision to live there. The first, of course, was to consider what I was supposed to do with my car, which is at ground level not sea level when parked in the driveway. The second and not so obvious to a not-so-city gal such as myself was noise of cars on Napoleon.
duh.
I was awoken at 5:30 am this morning by the sound of the garbage trucks. They came THREE different times. I think there was a bus. There was some sort of emergency necessitating an entire army's worth of fire trucks and ambulances. I felt like my bed was on the median between the two lanes of Napoleon. Needless to say I'm *not* in a very good mood this morning. I never did get back to sleep. I figure inevitably one of to things has to happen: either I get used to it and can sleep through the racket or I go insane from sleep deprivation.

Oh man, that really sucks. That is the main thing I hate about cities, so many people and so much noise. And with a little one, you can't even invest in good earplugs :(
agreed on that one..but I think you'll slowly filter out that part over time or at least beable to roll over and go back to sleep. New places always are difficult to get used to
yeah. I suppose I was able to get over the sound of those screaming redwoods.
and yeah, it really sucks that I can't just get ear plugs. would be so nice.
you'll get used to it. if i can get used to the dumpster trash trucks, you surely can. :) at first i thought the world was ending, but ki sleep right through them now.
