Meet our Upstairs Neighbour
Ok, so I've never actually met him. But this is the only rational image I can make of him at 3am every morning as he is stomping around above us. It's like a nocturnal elephant cross with an earthquake. What does he DO up there all night???
Funny thing is that we moved out of our basement apartment for this exact reason. The upstairs kitchen was right above our bedroom and at 6.30 in the morning their 2 year old would bounce this plastic ball, over and over and over again. Even after talking to them about it, it continued. So we moved.
I think we are cursed.
Now I get that we are still newlywed and all that.. everyone has their horror stories of the early years. Bare cupboards, old broken down car that has to be shared, having to live in their parent's basement. Alex and I are super fortunate in that we can live quite comfortable with such nice things. We appreciate this all the time. I guess we just have to suffer in other ways...
Now our apartment is tiny. 600sq ft leaves much to be desired. Our vacuum cord can reach every room without needing to unplug. True story.
But it suits us pretty well for now. Sure, it makes me antsy sometimes when I want to cook a nice dinner and I have like 2 inches space on my bench to cook in. Or when Alex is bored and he follows me around and there is not enough space to do anything in. But I think we will look back on this place and smile. Even about the Bigfoot upstairs.
This post made me laugh so much. Roy and I have been in three different apartments in our 2 1/2 years of marraige and we've learned a LOT about what we like and what we absolutely need in our apartment. Being the upstairs neighbors is def. one of them, for this exact reason. Our curse is a little worse in a way though: We always get neighbors that we can either hear fighting with their spouse, or .....doing the opposite of fighting with each other....
ReplyDeleteEventually we'll look back and laugh, right? :)
Haha oh that would be the worst! I think I'd take stomping anyday over that.. The countdown for buying our own houses is on!
