We were doing all right last night. Fortunately the roommate remembered the doctor's appointment before we got to sleep so I could set my phone (my alarm clock.)
Then, we dropped right off to sleep very nicely, it was right around 11 p.m.
Then, at 12:30ish the roommate was calling because some car was honking out front.
I went and got my keys and went out front, JUST as the car stopped.
I made sure my car was locked, looked inside it, walked around and didn't see anything and went back in and back to bed.
I didn't lay awake long before the next thing I know I hear "BANG!" and that distinctive sound of a plate or pan settling down, kind of rolling to a stop around and around. I got up and looked for the object, but didn't see anything to pick up. I checked the time, 3:30ish.
I go back to bed and get mobbed by cats but drop off again pretty quickly and don't you know, there goes that DARN horn honking again!!!
Now its about quarter after 5!!! turns out to be the van across the street, that proceeds to go off another 5 times in the next hour!
I have to get up at 6:30 for that darn doctor's appointment, but this time I can't get back to sleep... 
The roomie tells me the thing that fell was a plate in her room, I could tell it didn't break, that would've made a totally different sound.
I HOPE the across the street neighbor has figured out what was making their van go off and fixed it.
Mean while, I hope your day was better than MINE!
So far, this week, I'm not having a good week. 
I'm thinking another nap is in order!

OMG, are you wondering why you even went to bed? That must have been just plain horrible. It's bad enough when you just can't sleep, but when it's something that is waking you up, it makes it worse..ugh!
I hope you don't go through this again tonight. I think I'd be banging my head against the wall already, or someone else's. 
I'm going to wish you sweet dreams tonight, or rather, sweet quiet dreams tonight!

I don't know why it was going off, I went outside and looked (didn't see them) but I didn't see anything. I hope they worked on it today to figure it out. I also took a long nap, well, so long it's hard to call it a nap... I actually was wondering if I had slept the night

I had a good night. My husband surprised me by saying that he felt good (He's been sick most of the time for about 2 weeks.)in spite of having to kick the cat off the bed 4 times. Neither of us likes for the cat to get up around our faces while we are sleeping. No, we don't think that he'll steal our breath. It's his whiskers that tickle our faces. My husband complained about the cat purring in his ear. How can anybody not like to hear a cat purr? I think that it is one of the most soothing sounds in the world.

It is time for me to go to bed, we get up at 5 a.m. My day was just so so. I wanted a nap, but it did not take. However every time I tried to do anything, I fell asleep sitting up. I tried to get the vet by phone, just got a busy circuit. I dropped by while running errands, she was the only one in the office. My Creamery cat has a mangled ear, it is swollen. I wanted to know if she wanted to give him a shot, or if human antibiotic ointment was okay (It is). The fair starts tomorrow. I always have a cat emergency during the fair, and my vet is usually busy.She is much cheaper than any of the others, and she knows my cats.

I find it hilarious, dear. Sorry..:)
If I were in your shoes, of course, I'll be more pissed off than you are right now. I could have even shouted at my roommate.:( You are still lenient , huh. I admire you for that.:)
Anyways, my day went well. Husband ,me and my kids managed to went out today. Originally, to get my laptop which my husband had it fixed but turned out the the technician relocated. So, we drive three hours just for nothing. Our ending, we went shopping instead. Hubby let me buy my brassiers and kids' stuff ,too.
Not really exciting but for someone like me who seldom goes out, it is a big change .:)

I think a nap is always a good idea. Nap time is the highlight of my day. I know it is kind of pathetic but it's true! If nothing else, a nap will make the time pass quicker and maybe next week will be better!
An alarm woke me up last night also. It was going off for awhile and then it quit. I got up and went to the bathroom, and when I got back to bed, it started again. The noise didn't concern me as much as I was worried there was someone trying to steal something or up to some other criminal activity. It didn't keep me up very long though. I was very tired. Some nights I can't fall back to sleep if I wake for any reason, but last night wasn't one of them.1 person likes this

If I ever have a problem going to sleep I take an aspirin or a Tylenol PM. Asprin makes me sleepy, and if anything is hurting then it is a good idea to take something anyway, to help you sleep. It seems that if you know you have to get up, that is when you have a problem getting back to sleep. Good Luck! I hope you don't have anymore problems.

That's so unfortunate! But I think decent naps can be well worthwhile. I should know, I take lot of 'em! :-)
My neighbor's horn goes off at odd times at least several times a week. Fortunately never at night though! But it does get a bit irritating when they obviously don't do anything to change the situation. I have no clue why it's going off, but it does so regularly.
Hope you get some decent sleep soon! :-)

That is terrible. This is a first, we had a neighbor who's car was going off because of a helicopter, but that car isn't there anymore and one down the street that went off during thunderstorms... but there was NOTHING going on that I could see.

Some stray animal was touching it wrong. Could be a cat, or a possum, or anything in between. I can feature my cats doing it on purpose, just for fun.

Today is a "variety day." :D I mean, there are a lot of things that had happened. I went out with my cousins and aunt to go shopping. This was a tiring though, but we're happy since we've bought so many things for my cousin's upcoming 18th birthday. :)
Tomorrow is school day again, so goodluck to me. :|

I bet you’re tired today! I’ve had nights like that! At the moment we have pipes that rattle like crazy every morning at around two am! Like clockwork, goodness knows why…We can’t afford a plumber right now so we’ll have to endure for a while longer…Aside from mobile internet problems my day has been fine, certainly could be worse…Hope you got some rest!
