The Smell of Sinister Vibes Has Faded

Aiko is BACK with part two of his run-in with a scary monster ghost that he can smell on the other side of the wall!! his moM, @Litheen86 , sent the videos of this little monkey and I just adore him and his acrobatics! His love for taunting gravity makes me think he's going to grow up to compete in motocross.

Helloooo everyone! Happy Thursday (or happy Friday already for some, right?) I neglected to tell you all a few days ago that I've sort of moved spots in my apartment when it comes to where I do most of my work. I used to do everything from my bed in my bedroom. (I have chronic pain from Rheumatoid Arthritis, so sitting in a desk for long periods of time doesn't go so well for me...) But the people who live above me are so inconsiderate that it's affecting my nervous system. When you live in an apartment complex, you've signed up to share your walls, ceiling, and floor. You don't get the luxury of pounding and screaming all day when you aren't renting out both sides. It's called common decency. The second I hear it, it triggers me so fast that I've been going from super happy and uplifted to crying and rocking in place. It's been so long since I've had silence. Not being able to do anything while feeling completely ignored has been so hard on me. Unfairness literally hurts when I can't stop it, and I know that they can hear me and know that I'm down here. So my mom suggested I move to a couch nook I have by the balcony. It's on the opposite side of the apartment, and just as comfortable to work in. So for the last three days now I've been recording audio in my room still, but then I pick up my gear and move to the couch nook. and I've noticed such a difference. I can't believe I was just getting triggered every single day for so long and I felt like there was nothing I could do about it. I never considered just moving myself because in my head at the time it was like, well, why should I be the one who has to make adjustments? And it's also a hassle to have to move everything... But luckily my mom waved away that smokey cloud of stubbornness and I could see that it wouldn't be that hard, and would be worth not feeling like that every morning. I actually like the change of scenery, to be honest. And the cat's are seemingly liking the change too. We'll see if this set up is a good fit for the long run.

In the mean time, I've got a lot of editing to do over the next few days! I'm trying to keep to a schedule and get these last few over-do videos finished so that I can start on new ones! I hope everyone is enjoying early fall, and has been able to find creativity in their lives. If you haven't lately, look around for a mini project. It's good for the soul.

Lots and lots of love! I've included part one of this series below ❤️❤️❤️

Love Alex Susie, and Calvin
