I have decided to skip today's gym workout. I have not had enough sleep the past two nights. I need better focus, better organization. Too easily to injure myself if I have not had enough deep rest.
The psycho neighbour kept me awake for a long time last night.
I have already had a 2.5 mile walk on the mountain of love today. I had a visual field test at QV Hospital which is on Mt. Royal early this morning. Afterwards I walked back up to The Stairway To Heaven and then back home. Windchill on Mt. Royal was -23C. Winter is here.
I have some early symptoms of glaucoma, but thank goodness they are not getting worse.
Like I have said, this building and this whole street is full of creative people. I am not expecting perfect silence. I have been here for 12.5 years now. We have had harmonica players, cellists, guitarists, pianists, drummers, clarinetists. And there are commercial businesses nearby which play music to put bums in seats.
But this guy's bass & guitar playing is poisonous in intention. He wants to transmit his unhappiness around. He wants to own the acoustic space of this building as well as his own. It is not understandable that he has a soundproof recording studio in his apartment, but he does not use it. He is not psychologically sound.
We are now into our toughest time of year at the street mission where I volunteer. On Sunday we fed about 220 poor people for our annual Christmas dinner. It was a great success. But it was a lot of work.
Now we start to mobilize for the Christmas hampers. About 150 people will receive 65-85 lbs. of canned goods, rice, pasta, toiletries, shoe laces, you name it.
I absolutely have to be ready and able to do those heavy chores.
To have to tolerate this selfish, needy, useless little shit is very, very difficult. He is dangerous and he is lost.
