Goddamn Neighbours

I'm at that point again, where my sleep is so messed up that I wake at 11am and sleep at 3am. At least I'm getting my 8 hours- but it totally wouldn't work out if I had to go to school. Daylight savings messed me up, hard. I think I might be still adjusting. I was writing a report and the report contained the phrase "1 day ago", and I had to Google whether "1 day ago" was synonymous with "yesterday" and goddamn I felt so retarded.

I think I'm just unhappy because there's not enough darkness in my day. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love daylight savings. Being able to stay out "late" but then you look up and the sky's only glowing pink- it's the best feeling. What's not cool is that over winter I've adjusted to starting work after dark, eating dinner after dark and daytime = play time. Now that daytime is extended all of a sudden I find myself needing to eat and work at the same time, and it's kind of confusing. The Sun is confusing, dammit.

What's worse is my fucking neighbours. My creepy-ass landlord tells me they're indecent people, and I took it with a grain of salt because I think my landlord is creepy af despite having good intentions. Anyway, recently I've aligned myself with my landlord and goddamn I wish our neighbours would GTFO. So, they have several dogs- I generally don't really mind my neighbours dogs as long as it doesn't shit on our lawn- BUT GODDAMN THESE DOGS BARK LIKE CRAZY. It'd literally be 3am and I'd be trying to work and the dog would go woof woof woof and I'm like "fuuuuuck". It's not even just a 3am thing- those dogs bark during the day, whenever. Closing the window doesn't even help much, and I need my fresh air.

Anyway I heard a rumour from my landlord that their dogs bit one of the neighbour's kids. Fucking hell just because I'm in a dodgy suburb doesn't mean you shouldn't train your dogs not to bite. Given that it already barks all day, I'm not surprised though.

Then there's the neighbours themselves. I wish I had the money to live in a nicer suburb, I really do. I don't think you can be a decent person when you've got your 6-10 year old kids running around the yard screaming the words "fuck" and "cunt". Yeah, I've gotta put up with this screaming, too. Children's voices are REALLY shrill. Like sure maybe I've heard of those words too when I was that age, but I didn't run around screaming them the whole day. Then when the children don't yell swear words, the adults do it themselves and it doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to figure out where the kids got their vocab from.

On top of all this shit--- I swear to God my neighbours have been mowing their lawns for a week now. Every day for about an hour than lawn-mower just goes off and goddamn it's loud. Look I know all lawn mowers are pretty damn loud- and I'm mostly ok for putting up with it every now and again- but WHO THE FUCK MOWS THEIR LAWN EVERY DAY, FOR A WEEK? Like, WTF is wrong with these people???!!!

Yeah I've got headphones and everything- but I don't like having headphones on for longer than 90min- and I stay in my room for way longer than 90min each day. It's distracting being here. I can't read, I can't concentrate, and I sort of having my own attention deficit problems and I don't need environmental factors to play a role on why I'm not doing my work.

Here's hoping the next house I find will be better, because goddamn this place sucks shit.
