Answer :

answer:Holy fuck YES! haha I am going crazy in my living arrangement right now. Nosey neighbors, the person I live with hearing every little thing I do, being nosey too, my cats confined to a fenced garden because some old biddy neighbor complained about them walking around the yard because of leash laws in this community. I am about to just get in my car and drive away. lol The latest…last night while pounding stakes to secure the garden fence for my 2 cats, I hammered a wooden stake into the side of my palm. I have not had a breakdown like that in freaking years! Yelled GODDAMN IT!!! loud enough to really give them something to talk about as blood spewed from my self inflicted crucifixtion. I have never been so unhappy in my life, not even when I was going through a bad divorce. I cannot express how much I loathe living in city limits again! Thank You for the opportunity to rant this morning. haha
