I have a new neighbor. She goes around pounding everyone's door except mine. She wants to use the phone, ask a favor, or whatever. I've ignored it and ignored it and ignored it.

Cher has been sick for two days. Today she wasn't able to sleep because the neighbor kept pounding on people's doors. Tonight Marlee and I arrived home from the circus and she, (Marlee), quickly fell asleep.

The pounding started again. I ignored it. It started again at 11:30. I opened the door and told the woman that she is keeping all the neighbors awake and had been all day. Another woman stepped out of the apt and informed me I was wrong and I informed her back that I wasn't and it needs to stop. I did compliment the lady on her hair. She had it done today and it looks nice. If you can find one good thing to say about a person, it eases the tension.

Cher, who heard it all, about had a heart attack. She reminded me that we have to live here. Well, that's what I'm trying to do; live, not suffer!

I shall go explain to the manager on Monday. If the neighbor starts it again tonight, I may call the police though I hate to do so.

Aack!
