How To Get Out Of A Rut?

I was clearing some of the clutter on my desk and found a folder full of paperworks for my apartment.  I found a "Increase In Rent" letter ... from May 2009 ... which is my current rent.  I should be happy that my rent hasn't increased in the last four years ... and in March (if I still live here) it will be 10 years in this apartment !!

Sounds impressive ... but also sad ... A LOT OF SADNESS !!

I'd love to move ... I know there are other places that probably cost less ... but I'm just too settled here ... and I'm MAD at myself for being too comfortable.

LATE NIGHT NOISE

Dear Neighbor at Apt# 1 ~

These last couple of nights, I've found myself
waking up to noises coming from your apartment.
I wouldn't say it was loud voices coming from
the walls, more like muffled "grunts" ~

They aren't exactly noise, and you know what
I mean. I'm glad its not the yelling kind too.
Maybe it is yelling, inside YOUR aparment. It's
just that the "grunting" is kinda annoying!!

I don't know how Apt#9 deals with noises coming
up their floor. You're not as bad as Apt#8 which
is right above mine ... the roof shaking ... not
really a good nights sleep.

If you have to HAVE IT, fine ... but really ... in
my opinion ... she is faking it ~
