Kristi Karnopp's Diary & Blog

Today was not a bad day at all. I did, at first. not right away, go home knowing what is lurking in the shadows of the minds of some of the tenants. Although I have had a quiet weekend from my downstairs-second floor neighbor. The noise I did hear is from a littlle child running in the hallway making tons of noise. I did have a headache most of the weekend. I got home from school and ended up taking a nap from 5 p.m. to fifteen minutes ago which was 6:30 p.m. when my friend Kellyann called from her home. I am waiting to watch 7th Heaven at 7 p.m. and I plan on being back later to write more. I am not done yet.

Today is not a good day as far as the weather is concerned. Yesterday I did not get on my computer except once because of the bad weather coming our way in the afternoon. As it turned out, we had a tornado watch and severe thunderstorm weather in the evening hours. Even my computer modem and telephone line was disconnected from the wall so my computer would not get zapped if it got bad enough. Sleep wasn’t hard to find though. In fact, sleep was easy to find the last couple of nights. As for my moods and emotions, things seem to be leveling off finally even though things have not improved here where I live. There are so many vindictive people around here that it is amazing and definitely not adult-like one bit that it is childish and stupid. I wonder if my neighbor was talked to the other day because I haven’t heard any excessive noises since Thursday. It has been a relief to have peace. Even another neighbor has heard some noises as well. It is crazy around here. Instead of adults here, there are children! It is definitely stupid. Even the former manager has had it. My friend RH and I have had it as well because our friends, including myself, have been attacked in some way. The tenants are NOT going to be ruling this place much longer…

Dear Friends of DD,

I would like to let you all know that I am feeling better today. I see that the medication is beginning to work now. I actually got eight hours of sleep with the exception of getting up twice in the night to run to the bathroom and wondering what time it was. I had fallen asleep watching Pepper Ann on Toon Disney and remembering waking up to the beginning of Sabrina the Animated Series, and turned off my television. It was lightning and thundering out doors but it did not keep me awake and anxious at all. I remember waking up at 5 a.m. and going back to sleep and then awaking up at 6:15 a.m. when my alarm went off. I even felt more awake at that time than the days before I experienced so I can tell that the medication Prozac is doing its job and is beginning to do the trick. I am happy for a change. Yesterday was a little complicated but I did not worry too much. I felt sick when I saw food but that seemed to calm down after I ate something. Anyway, I am feeling better. Today I am at school, just about time to go to class, getting an assignment printed for Oral Communications and my speech typed out and ready to go for next Wednesday. I feel I am still on top of things and I have five days of school left before the semester is over. The past few weeks have been rough emotionally but I am still here and that counts for a lot and that is all that matters. I am happy to get through the obstacles I have gone through even though it took some paintaking steps to get here. More later…
