Change is terrifying.
Just last night as I was laying in bed thinking I felt my chest start squeezing and it got difficult to breathe as I considered that today it's likely I'll have the non-refundable deposit paid on the rental in my new university town, that this is the last week of the last semester for me ever here at my community college with all the professors I've gotten to know and friends I've made, and so on. I don't handle big change well. Probably going to have a heart attack one of these days.
Gluten-free is kinda interesting. Also sometimes kinda gross in my experience. Congratulations on the class though, you must be doing something right with it
Oh god. One of those yap-and-crap neighbors, tough to blame you too much. I live in the rear of a duplex, and the front occupant has had the same kind of issue many times with the next door buildings to the point of the police being called to moderate. The duplex neighbors also have utterly rotten children that compound the problem with the dog neighbor. Good times all around - I just chill out on the porch of my back apartment and listen and laugh.
