Sounds

Spent all last week organizing my house. I have WAY too much clothes and shoes. So far I still really love my house. . . Except for the sounds.

My first night there I thought there was a cat dying in my bathroom. At least I hope it was dying from the horrible noises it was making. I actually got up to look for it but it was just on the street outside my window. My house backs up against a hill and the second floor is in line with the street on the top of the hill.

Being right on the street corner the bus picks up/drops off kids for school right my upstairs window.

There is also a stone stair case leading up the hill right by my front door and I get to hear people climb that at all hours.

And then it rained. . . Being at the bottom of the hill I get to hear all the water running down hill. The first night I though I left a faucet on FULL BLAST. But no it was just the rain pouring down into the drain below my house.

Don't get me wrong. I really do love my new home, just getting used to the sounds my house and neighborhood. I am already blocking out most noise and my sleep is no longer being disrupted.
