A Whine

For the past month, the building behind me (aka the one my windows open towards/look at) has been having construction done on their underground parkade.  

There are noise bylaws here and so they're not supposed to start before a certain time, but that certain time is still earlier than I'd like to wake up on my days off.  (Weekends not included in this whine.)

They are also prompt workers who show up *before* their technical start time and as it's generally around the same time I wake up on a work day I'm not usually in a heavy sleep so I wake up to the voices having their morning chat around their work trucks.   At six forty five in the morning.

Sigh.

I mean in some ways it's fine, I'd probably be waking up with the heat anyway but on days like today when I kind of wouldn't mind continuing to sleep until my body forces me up, I get whiny about being woken "too early" and then having to also deal with noise for most of the day.

First world problem I know, but this morning in particular I'd be happier to still be dozing in bed rather than sitting on my couch complaining that I'm not dozing in my bed!

Anyway.... not sure how long (months I'm imagining) this will last but I'll probably not have a "sleep in" morning for quite a long while, eh?  Ruh roh, now they're kicking up dust wish some noisy thing, gotta go deal with dust, byeeee!


(FWIW, my neighbour on this side of the building has taken to sleeping with earplugs in, but I still kind of want to be up for my pool class times so am just waking early and complaining here about it.  heh.)
