I always hated the fact that my upstairs neighbors have squeaky floors. I can hear them walking around. There are a couple of girls too. It was really bad a few years ago, but since they turned double digits, the gymnastics has evolved into stomping and running rather than major seismic events followed by pitter pater of 10,000 fleeing deer.
I think one of the reasons why I feel disoriented is because they moved out 2 weeks ago. I hear occasional footsteps of the maintenance guys painting and whatnot, but I never realized how I had habituated to the squeaking sounds that meant that the mom of the girls was going to bed (between 11-11:30 at night, when I usually do too)
or when she got up in the morning, which was usually between 7 and 8.
I think this had become part of my internal clock too. I miss them already (plus, they were a really sweet family)
