Thanks to all of you kind folks!

I wasn't being purposely mysterious, but wanted a few problems solved before I mentioned them.
First and foremost, my daughter, who is now divorced, lost her job shortly before Christmas and now her unemp. is run out and she hasn't found a new job yet, so everything is piling up.
Before starting my new therapy, I was put on some heavy pain killers due to the Cortisone shots I had to have. My gal being out of work is a small blessing in disguise because I can't drive, and being home she can play chauffeur, and thanks to Dad's will, and a little windfall, I was able to help her out as well as getting my car fixed.
Anyway, while I was on those pain killers, the dimwit who rents in the building next door decided to have a mini-biker rally. I doubt if he had his landlord's permission, but all day Friday and half of the night we had hawgs riding up and down and around our normally silent little street and cul de sac, until the men in blue came and got them out. In the mean-time, we found our back security door had been jimmied, and had to sweat it out until it was replaced and new keys passed out. This all happened in the time frame of the shootings, and break-ins of our quiet little town, that few people ever heard of, suddenly became front page news.
The therapy is going well and although I'm through with the cortisone, I still have to take the pain killers which tend to make me rather ditzy. Finally, the worst of all, I have a relatively new neighbor directly above me who is a single woman approximately 28 years old, who works at her own hours, leaving her free to play her stereo at top volume, while her speakers sit on the floor, causing my hanging pictures literally to bounce occasionally. She also does something that causes her to drop something on the floor, and roll (kind of like a 10 pound bowling ball), in her kitchen which is directly above my bedroom. Many are the nights I wake up with a cannon shot above me at 3 or 4 a.m. whereupon I cannot return to sleep since I've already had 3 or 4 hours and the main tiredness is over. The problem is, tell that to my eyes at 10:00 a.m. Plus, I have gradually, like a baby, gotten my inner clockwork messed up and now cannot sleep in the night, but do sleep all day. The landlady is working on it, but we live on 12 month leases. She believes me because after living here for more than 4 years, this is the first I've ever put in any complaint, but it is still my word against the new girls'.
I've also heard people going up and down stairs at weird hours (so has the guy across the hall), that could have been when the locks were messed up. As I said, it's been crazy stuff happening, and life has not been the quiet, orderly ritual I'm used to.
Thank you for your kind responses, things should be back to normal by the end of May.
