Emmy’s Noisy Neighbors

[Emmy] seemed a bit out of sorts tonight due to the near-constant squeaking, banging, and thumping she hears from the neighbors above.  I tried consoling her.  But as I’ve found, there’s not a whole lot she can do about it. except for what I’ve described in my   Tom’s Views –> Coping With Noisy Neighbors: Apartment Living   piece.

So I very much feel for [Emmy]. Sadly though, it’s harder for her to move (if moving was ever   easy), than it was for me. 

So I offered to bring her here to stay with me if she finally decides that she really can no longer bear the noise, until we devise some quieter housing for her.  In the meantime, she’ll practice with the earplugs I gave her, and try the Sleep Mates.  Plus, she’ll mention the problem to her therapist this week and get his input.  He may know of coping mechanisms that I do not. 

Hopefully, she, unlike me, will find a way to live comfortably where she is, with the noise intact.  But if not, we’ll figure something out before summer arrives.

    [Emmy] received the SleepMates today. We’ll have to wait and see how they work for her.
