No knitting content today - between grading, a faculty meeting, and the AAUW salad supper I was busy all day.

But: I did come up with what I am considering to be the most elegant solution to my annoying problem (and not considering to be "giving in and allowing selfish people to be selfish"): I set up the bed in the guest bedroom (which is on the opposite side of the house from my loud neighbors). I took my special comfy pillow and the book I am reading and my Clifford the Big Red Dog (gotta have someone to "keep watch" over you, especially in a strange room...) and moved in there. I was able to SLEEP last night! (unless you've suffered from insomnia - which I do periodically and not always because of noisy neighbors - you don't really appreciate how good it is to be able to sleep).

The guest room really isn't such a bad little room. I'm half tempted to move my desk and printer trolley and my exerciser out of it into what is currently "my" bedroom, and move my dresser and bedside table and bookshelf into this room and live there - at least until the loud people leave or get evicted.
