Talked to the office yesterday about the neighbor issue. It is now registered as a formal complaint and she is no longer allowed to talk to or contact us directly for any reason. She has six more months left on her lease, we have 22. This should be interesting. The office was very sympathetic as they have had to deal with her before. The issue as we all see it is that she has not had to live in an apartment in a very long time and has forgotten what communal living is like. I can empathize with her on that part as it was a shift for me to go from a house back to an apartment, but that doesn't give you the right to be malicious and a horrible neighbor.

We worked in the garage yesterday to rearrange a few things as we wanted to make sure the car fit without any problems. Mission accomplished. The weather forecast for this week does include snow (a very little bit mind you) and we didn't want to leave the car outside just in case.

Our big project yesterday however was mounting the TV to the wall. That took us hours because we didn't want to fuck it up. We measured, measured again, then measured a third time. We even made a cardboard model to use as reference to determine height, where on the wall it should go, etc. In the end it came out looking really good. We are both pleased with the job we did. It was a lot of effort but totally worth it. We still need to clean up and rearrange the cables under the TV but we are both really happy with the end result. This may not seem like a big deal to most people, but the last thing I am is handy so to accomplish something like this and have it come out looking good is a big feather in my cap.

Ran some errands at the mall when we were done including getting some soap at Bath and Body Works. It has begun at the mall - season of the rookies. I hate shopping this time of year because you get the useless people who don't know how to shop. We realized moments after getting there that we needed to leave. We did what we needed to do and got the hell out.

For dinner we had a cheat day and had friend chicken tenders. So good. It's amazing how good fast food can taste when you don't have it for 4-5 weeks. Came home, watched some TV, and we both went to bed early. Even B was in bed by 9:30. I slept like shit as the fried chicken was coming back for a visit. The downside of fast food.

Have a class today, two days of one of the hard classes. But then I am done for 5 days. I can do this. I can get through 16 hours of this.
