Love thy neighbor...

Dear God,

I know I'm supposed to love my neighbor, but you're making it difficult for me.

1. Tonight I go down to the laundry room to take my clothes out of the washer and into a dryer. I find that, for some reason, one of my two machines is set on "hot normal" cycle, which would be super, except that I'd put both on "cold delicate" before I left, because these were work clothes and dresses deserving of such a designation.

Now, my second machine seems untouched and the cycle is done. This crazy one looks like it's just starting up, so I stop it before any damage is done (I hope--the clothes are drying right now). The only thing I can guess is that whoever was doing 6 loads of "hot normal" clothes put money in my machine by accident, switched the setting and turned it on after my original cycle had finished.

2. When I walked into the laundry room, I interrupted someone who was injecting himself with a drug of some kind. I guess it doesn't hurt me any, but it's a little unsettling, like I just walked into a stranger's apartment by accident.

3. There's a Mazda Protege taking up two parking spaces.

4. There's a moving van sitting overnight that's taking up three parking spaces.

A side story: There's a few pieces of furniture stacked near the back door of the van. Every time I go outside for laundry nonsense, the furniture is stacked differently, but never moved inside the van. The furniture thing doesn't bother me, but I thought I'd mention it because it's kinda funny.

That's all I've got. Thanks for listening.
