My upstairs neighbor appears to be pounding something into the floor this morning. Is she tenderizing a steak? Installing a boot scraper? Expressing her rage at the current political climate? I have no idea.

Prior to this, I’m pretty sure she was tap dancing. She’s really lucky she lives on the third floor, is all I can say, because our landlord lives below me, and he claims he can hear my stocking-clad feet on the rug-covered floor.

I would love to know what she’s doing up there.

    I don’t think anyone would expect any less.

    Isn’t there a Stephen King short story about finally going upstairs to confront the shuffling, pounding, etc. neighbor?

    I’m on the 3rd/top floor and I’m pretty sure my downstair neighbor hears some weirdness coming from up here b/c I am always jumping, dancing, and falling over on myself

    She’s probably gently padding around in stocking-clad feet.
