i woke up at 7:30 this morning to the sound of hammering in the apartment above mine. it was rather loud, but intermittent, so i continued "sleeping." but after awhile, i was sufficiently awake, even though i was trying to sleep, so i got up. the noise lessened, and i continued about my day.
about half an hour later, the extremely loud power drilling started. it was loud. is loud. i started to think about what i was going to do this morning and if i could possibly do it somewhere else, and where that might be. since i didn't care to go anywhere without eating breakfast, i went into my kitchen where the noise was somehow LOUDER. i can feel the vibrations as i sit now on my bed. but in the kitchen, it felt like the whole room might collapse around me. i got some food and left that room. and decided to write a blog post while i decide what to do. i do have work i need to do today. i was supposed to have a "phone call" with someone on skype this morning. hmmm.
how loud could this really be, you might ask? well, when i was in the kitchen, in moving some dishes off of the dish drainer, i dropped the metal cheese grater on the tile floor and didn't hear any sound at all. yeah. but don't worry, it's better in other parts of the house. i can still hear myself typing right now. i considered whether or not it mattered if this drilling goes on all day. i could still get work done. but i couldn't talk on skype. hmmm. as long as i don't go in the kitchen, i won't be scared.
options:
*go to friends' house if they are at home or awake
*ride bike to starbucks where there is internet (would it be inappropriate to talk on skype in starbucks with a headset? maybe... and a little weird)
hmmm. what to do.
first, eat a banana today so that it won't be too ripe tomorrow.
