Do you suffer from this kind of thing?
I woke up in the middle of last night thinking about a house I may rent that I'm going to see this week. I like the pictures, and it's a nice house.
But, what if the neighbours are noisy? Some people run "party houses" around here and play loud music outside every weekend.
That would drive me crazy.
Maybe i could drive past on Friday night. And Saturday night.
It's half an hour away, so maybe I'd be better parking my car and wait around for an hour or two.
But my wife needs help with the kids.
Could I leave an old smart phone attached to a post so I can record the noise? Yes, but my old phone battery doesn't last long, and maybe that's a bit dodgy too. Webcam? No power source or disk or transmitter.
STOP!!
It's a nice house.
But what about the neighbours, this is really important...
And on and on for an hour at least, followed by dreams of horrible houses.
The only thing that seems to help is realising I can't control this and it's not really ME, just my brain looping.
