Okay. Today?? I have to vent.
You have been warned!
I include this material because I know that a few of you ARE interested in what goes on in my world. And I thank you for that.
Today.
The percussive beats from next door are OTT atrocious, once more.
I tried to speak and "reasons" with the man there and he refuses to cooperate.
Rm and I had a small interaction that wasn't 'the usual' kind of exchange. It was rare and had a more serious tone.
His name is on the lease here.
He has 'the authority' to say something to the manager-- which, (after I spoke to other neighbors today), they say IS the right option, rather than calling in the police. (The manager freaks about neighbors who do that, because that call gets registered against the apartments, and it lowers the value of the apartments here.)
The "right" thing to do is to tell the manager.
Rm's response is that "it doesn't bother him"
so he isn't interested or invested in doing anything for "ME" about it.
A few days ago the beats were even bothering rm sooo much, that we left the building and went out for some pizza to get away from it.
No. He won't confront.
He's flaccid, and puts it on ME to be creative about managing the constant sonic beatings coming through the walls.
We had a convo.....
I said how (for months) I had desired to be able to ADD to the money here so we could improve our lives. I have NOT been able to even adequately post here, 'because' of all-of-this.
Another thing?
We have the refrigerator from hell (lemon) in this tiny place that 'hurts' -- and the maintenance guys here say that he COULD have swapped it out-- but he doesn't because "it doesn't bother him."
I was bold today, spoke up and said,
I am a sentient HUMAN being.
I feel pain, and hurt from all this.
Semi-pleading (while retaining dignity and strength, I said to him) .. "Just because" YOU don't 'feel' it, doesn't mean that I am not.
At that point, I got extra bold (while maintaining a kind of gentle calm).
I try to remain respectful and kind with him-- and had to force the words out of my mouth, to say, The Right thing to do would BE to regard that I 'feel/sense' pain inside my body -- and, you could knock on that dude's door to let him know that he NEEDS to TURN IT DOWN. ...
I waited....
He stood there....
weakly he said again, but I don't feel it--
and he settled his butt back into the TV chair.
He would NOT 'fend for me' ....
At that point.. I left the building to go stand outside.
There's a person that has lived in the hood here for as long as I have been here (11 years June 1).
I vented with him...
haha, He has ESP!..
I was 'thinking' that I would want to talk to HIM right then, and within a few minutes, suddenly, he appeared and was looking across the way at me, with a quizzical look on his face.
I hadn't seen him in weeks. I motioned to him that I wanted to talk. He came forward. We stood there for a while, swapping 'hood stories.
He 'knows' Rm's type... He said for me to stay Creative.
awww. I appreciated his manly input.
He's been a stress-breaker person for me in the past years.
So.
Since Rm did the final retirement,
I have NOT been able to CLEAN in this place the way My Virgo Moon Self 'used' to. I love a clean place. I like 'a place for everything and everything back to its place' ... He takes 'terrible dagger-energetic out-loud small-temper fits' when I try to clean... so, I had to adjust the bar for me-- which I HATE. I dirt-shame myself all the time!! LOL ... but then too-- 'what can I do?' ... If HE doesn't like it?, I can't do MY level of clean.
He decided during that retirement to remain HERE, and not to relocate.
I (being his support person) said that by a relo, I probably would have been in better shape, and could have been making some money to cover the expense of a better place.
He says nothing ... He's blank.
I don't think he listens at all sometimes. *sad*
<<PARAGRAPHS to delete later, for privacy>>
That's why TOO--
It would be dangerous for me if something medical were to happen here, and I would become unconscious.
Even though we've lived together for nearly 11 years, he 'still' does not know me well at all.
I'm looking over at the spot near his bedroom door right now...
There's still the indented spot on the carpet that has resisted getting cleaned (need a professional?)-- about half the size of a baseball.
.. That's the spot I reference to myself as *red flag* to remind me of reality.
.. That week after the Full Moon Eclipse Libra 25+ (my Neptune!!), on the 15th of April 2014 (involving a Grand Cardinal Cross), was the time I had collapsed on my sudden need to run to the cot. It was just before 11pm. The evening news on TV was starting to wrap up.
.. The next wall neighbor (without warning) had set-off several fumigation-bombs (too much in a very small space) to get rid of an infestation of bed bugs he brought into our building from dumpster-diving. The fumes were entering our apartment.... The inside of my mouth began to vaguely 'taste' it.
I had caught a flu, and my sense of smell was very dull.
.. I am NOT a fainter. I think that swoon was the 2nd time in my ENTIRE life? ...
I passed-out while passing his door. Falling over, I hit my head, and wound up crumpled in his threshold-- unconscious and bleeding into the carpet (*ref flag*).
I came-to, while he was kicking me with the side of his foot, to awaken me and 'inform' me that he needed me to get out of his way. He said that he was tired now, and that 'it was time for him to go to sleep.' He needed me to get up because I was "in the way" of him entering his bedroom and shutting his door.
yeah....
Calmly. very 'detached' ... that's "just" the way he is, the way he is 'wired' to be.
He elects not to respond.
If it isn't happening to him???..... then he steps over it.
So.... If there's ever a time that I 'break' any bonds with him, then, it's now. He doesn't stand as my ally. I walk on eggshells with him here, so that he won't get upset.
<<end, to delete .....>>
I can't work IN the apartment, and, right now, I'd love to be going through my bins one more time to see if anything should/could be tossed so that I would 'fly' lighter, but I can hardly stand-myself being in that room for a majority of the day *gamer-sonics*.
I keep going back and forth about trashing EVERYTHING I have, and, just in case, NOT-throwing one more thing away.
My laden is much lighter than it had been upon my arrival here.
I don't know if it would be Wisdom for me to trash it ALL-- pretending we had a fire or a flood?
I'd probably be giving up things that I would SORELY regret afterwards. The materials in those bins, are pieces of my biography and History.
I thought these could be valuable if I decided to Write some things, or do transit forensics for adding to knowledge, about certain clumps of time. There were certain time periods I was documenting quite well (without realizing the worth of it later-- it was 'always' inside me that I would value this some day).
Lots of LIFE in those bins.
Like I've said before, sometimes these 10 gallon stacked bins that surround my cot, look like mausoleum-drawers. Corpses. Dusty bones.
I spoke to someone briefly about how I can't decide what to trash and what to keep? She said to stay in the moment with it, and NOT to trash anything because of remorse afterwards.
I thought her validation of that to me, was wise. I feel cramped because of feeling so closed-in by my storage bins for a decade now. If I knew what was 'coming' then, it would be MUCH easier to black and white 'decide'.
Really...
my hunch has been not to toss. ..
And I 'fight' the feeling to just trash everything. ...
It's what's left of my History..
important small photos from the past (I think I have only 2 or 3 pictures of myself that were taken over the last 17 years-- rm is not a photo-taker, and I never bought a camera to ask a neighbor if they would take one).
I have some little writings I've done, a couple of interesting letters from friends in my past. A couple of simple mementos. A bin of my artwork (which I ~could probably sell? but, I doubt they are worth too much).
I suck at selling my stuff---
Throughout my life, I'd rather give things away to folks I thought would benefit or enjoy.
Some of the bins have beginner astrology binders. If a few of you lived close to me, I KNOW you'd be able to use the materials and decals for your classes. I would have LOVED to 'just give' them to you.
Now----- Normally at this point, I would read over the material I just typed, then DELETE it.
Some (really beautiful) people have requested some more-transparent kinds of thoughts from me.
Really---------- I would RATHER do some Inspirational material. I do posts in my head all the time. Wish they had thought-to-typing technologies. Some day??? *grin*
Another thing.
I have a romantic soul, and can have a racy-kind of streak in me involving music. I have shied away from doing those kinds of posts in recent months, as some people take those quite literally?? aww. Vive l'amour!!
Not looking at any kind of sexuality (~lady-problems).
I have too much respect for a few of you, too.
My Venus Taurus gives me a sensual-kind of flavor or allure, but I'm not a gauche person. I consider with myself that I have excellent boundaries where those things are concerned... Venus OPP Saturn.
Was thinking back to times of my working in offices-- especially around some bluecollar places.
People who flirt didn't bother me-- I am fine with that (to a point).
I laughed so hard this morning remembering a subcontractor I dealt with over the phone and fax. Lived in another part of the country. Everything had double-inuendos.. and we roared at each other's audacity. It was a game, and I made SUCH a good friend for my company being able to do that with him. ... I miss him the most!
I can deal with salty characters.
(Work-people, is different from a home situation.)
I'm a solid and pretty grounded person.
(Posting, is a different situation here.)
I can have an outrageous sense of humor.
I can 'dish it out' as well as take (most) things.
When I'm not hurting and blubbering over my postings...
I'm a pretty cool person to be around.
I basically have my sh$ft together ..
(water-Chiron, and sometimes the water Moons are more introspective for me-- but still relating to public people in a cheery way).
One of my coworkers at the v-job calls me a Ray of Sunshine. I have GREAT relationships with coworkers-- I'm usually very easy to get along with. There was just that hidden hiccup-thing that went on in the background somehow last month (at v-job).
No big deal. (If you read that post... They refused to tell me any more about it, as they faulted that person greatly. To my coworkers, they were way out-of-line.)
People in the office right now have a sense of safety and are 'closer'... There's such a friendly acceptance that I feel there now.
They are 'training' a new recruit-- and I have had some good input with him. (He's an Aquarius... and he will ask his sister to look up his TOB on his certificate! LOL)
*~
That is just my 'inner' world, that I have shared very openly here.
*~
I kept just typing today....
The rumble is.. yeahhhh pretty fierce.
*~
I wanted to address too, that I know I have had some deep self-esteem issues. (I won't delineate that!! LMAO)
If I can say anything about my life-- my self--
I have come into an acceptance and 'liking' of "me" more than at any other time of my life.
I LIKE 'me'. (LOL). I think you'd like me too! *roaring with laughter??*
I go down and deep into my emotions here...
Of COURSE I still have 'issues' that need healing.
You can't have had the kinds of things that have happened to me, and not still occasionally need some TLC.
Gently-- My life was very very sad.... I've had GRIEVOUS losses in this lifetime. I still 'hurt' from some of those....
I know where some of my mistakes were (in my lifetime), but REALLY... I did the best I could, all the time.
If there's something positive I can say about myself (without sounding egoic), is that I'm a pretty good soul. I never set out to intentional harm people-- {humor, Definition of STRESS??? for those who know that punchline???}/
I'm not into vengeance. I look at self thoroughly and first.
Sure~~ I can have human occasions of getting upset or mad, but/and, *I get over it*.
Actually-- I probably NEED to express anger in my life more. (Would probably improve some health?)
*~
I've been soooo impressed by some people's inner beauty. WG! Just getting started? .. Great Job. You have quite a future ahead of you.
When folks talk about lining up what draws my soul, and, normal ideas and directions in my head--- sometimes, ... I DEEPLY wish there was someone I could talk to, and have a private discussion about it.
.. VERY seriously doubt that there is anyone in this locale who would 'grok' what I was trying to say.
That's what I need....
I need the company of others who 'grok'!! LOL
*~
Anyways... I apologize that this was not a philosophical~inspirational post.
I know I missed April 4, Dr Martin Luther King Jr's 50th Anniversary.
I had planned to post for that-- but sonics were HORRRRRIBLE-- even WITH my great set of earphones on.
Part of what I had planned was sharing the chart of the assassination event, accompanied by a few asteroids.
I'll just list it (for those interested).
EVENT: Dr MLK Jr Assassination
Thursday, 4 April 1968
Memphis, TN (US)
90w03, 35n09
Time 7:05 p.m.
UT 1:05 (5 Apr)
Sid 6:58:24
4355, 1114, 7100, 2305, 18243, 11207, 1193, 3241, 273
I was drawing a comparison to the 50 year transit-anniversary (Chiron return);
and, the USA (Sibley) Chart.
I hadn't looked at his birth chart, but if you go to my thread pages for January 15 this year, I had posted a memorial and link to his chart.
~~
I'm not sure 'why' I am feeling so uneasy.
Like I've been saying...
This place is overcoming and overwhelming.
I "use" my body to SENSE, use it for thinking and feeling things out-- not just on the outside, but meta-inwardly??? I think that is a big reason I haven't been able to 'decide' things.
It's part of the Whole Sense of me.
I feel a little leery when folks say how 'hard' to work? ...
I (believe) I have not been afraid of tackling things before, in my life.
Have the ability to be pretty disciplined?? (at least, from my own perspective, as I think back over my life)
I thought I had ~overheard a side-comment that you think I won't be able to handle it?
Well... I would first need to know what 'it' is? *heart*
Of course, I DO have limitations...
(now... there goes the worry-wart!! LOL)
*posting without review or editing*
(music) oops, LATER!... suddenly gotta go now...
