Well!!! How cool is this! Whatever the guys did in the attic at least moved the alarming watch to another location! I am not hearing it - or it's so quiet that I can sleep through it...
Now remember - this is not a blaring alarm, like my alarm clock! It's a tiny alarm like a watch would make, and it was coming into my room, the center bedroom and was likely located someplace between the two, perhaps over the guest bath.
It may have been on a rafter, so the sound carried.
All the guys from Habitat did, was brush stuff around with a broom. They didn't find it, and it's still up there. They were scratching their heads, trying to come up with a plan to find it. They moved all the insulation around in that quadrant of the house.
But I don't hear the alarm enough to be woken by it! YAY!!!
I'm still falling asleep at work, and at important and inopportune times of the day, but that will slow up and cease, now that I'm sleeping through the night.
And not a day too soon, either. School promises to be very intense for this 55-yr-old woman!

Didn't find the alarm source
The guys from Habitat didn't find the alarm source. They have to try a different tool. Maybe a metal detector? How about a pitch fork or spading fork?
Meanwhile, I can't keep the house if money doesn't turn around, anyway. And I can't concentrate to make money because I can't sleep. A Catch-22.
Maybe it's time for me to give up. Maybe I don't have it in me anymore to keep fighting. It just seems like no matter what I do, I'm hitting a brick wall.
I'm not following God's will, that's all I know for sure.
With God behind me, everything is easy and works. The universe gets behind me and pushes me along to give me speed. I float and fly through things that take others weeks and months to do.
When I'm on the wrong track, I hit wall after wall after wall. School is a wall,the house is a wall, the electric bill is a wall, work is a wall. My health is a wall. Absolutely everything I do right now is twarted.
Except going to meetings. That I can do well.
I'm so tired. I'm so worn out. I need to sleep, and I keep getting woken up.
I qualify by income to have my taxes done for free - but because I need a schedule C, I have to pay $100. I don't have $100 to pay to have my taxes done. I still owe $380 from the last 2 years of having my taxes done. I even qualify for the EIC for the first time in my life!
Yeah, cancer is a bitch. I lost a friend to cancer overnight. I'm lucky my situation was only a scare of cancer. But living with the economic consequences of that is a TOTAL BITCH!!!!!

Started School & They Showed Up (?)
Yeah - lets jump to it - Habitat guys showed up, went up into the attic and then I had to take my shower so I didn't find out if they found that D*&)ed Alarm.
I slept on the chair last night, just so I could make it today. I had to start school, with my first class at 9:15. From there I went to work then home to eat. I have KEW (for those not privvy... http://womencreatingwealthonline.com/) and then I get to be home about 10 tonight.
No program stuff today, other than continuing to listen to speaker tapes. Oh, and got a call from somebody who probably will hound me for the next 3 months while she avoids doing what she should do Right Away! to stay sober. Oh well, at least I'm not her. And if she doesn't follow through this time, I'll tell her to quit calling. I'm not going to be her doormat or her excuse. If she wants to stay sober, she will make her amends, it's just that simple.
Next class is Monday evening. I STILL don't have the financial aid and school stuff sorted out! I called again tonight, and it's because the major - that I filed to change 2 days ago, still hasn't been processed. I'm in danger of being dropped from all the classes and having a huge bill because somebody didn't bother to put the change thru.
On top of beginner diabetes, this is not a fun time. Cats are good, though. I guess I can be thankful for that.

Alarm in the Ceiliing
I'm so sick of this! 3:27am!
How would the folks at Habitat like to be woken up like this for 15 months solid!
I can't get any sleep, I'm getting sick! My mental state is ruined, and I'm not a lot of fun to be around.
I've called and been told that this would be addressed. I don't know if I can take it much longer. I'm either going to go crazy or move.
I guess I might as well start packing. I have to leave this house.
