Either my neighbor that lives above me is talking to herself or she has one of those blue tooth phone thingys hidden under her afro. I am going to assume that she has gone mental and is talking to herself. That way I can stay guarded and have weapons prepared in case she tries to attack me. For the past 3 days she has been talking/yelling to herself. I try to listen to what she is saying but due to her thick french accent I cannot understand much of what she says. Yesterday I was able to understand "homena" and end of the world" She also said my name and my sons name. Freaky.
Today when I got home from dropping my son off at school I noticed her in the front yard. Our apartment complex has a large lawn in the middle of the units and in the center of the lawn there is a cement area that surrounds a tree stump. At 9 am this morning it was only 35 degrees outside. This woman is walking around and around on the edge of the cement circle, barefoot. Now, I know this lady does not like to be cold. She is from Tahiti and keeps her apartment hot and humid. Because she has been acting strange and talking to herself for a few days I take a second to ask if she is okay. She tells me that she is great and that her son is coming home. So I think, OK, maybe she just ran down real quick to meet him and that's why she is circling the cement with no shoes on when it is FREEZING outside. I get inside and lock my door, then I hide behind my Christmas tree to try and see what she is doing. For about another 10 minutes she just circles and yells. Then I put my ear to the door and try to hear what she is yelling about. It doesn't sound like she is on the phone because she is not pausing to allow anyone else time to talk. She just goes on and on and on. I still couldn't understand anything but then I heard her walking back toward the apartment. She went upstairs and continued to yell. Her son never showed up. I have decided to keep my distance from her instead of letting my curiosity get the best of me. I just really wish I knew what she was talking about all day.
I do feel bad for her. When her husband and kids lived upstairs too I thought she was a great lady. Then I kept hearing her husband beat on her. I called the cops on two different occasions. The husband was arrested and she said she was going to get a restraining order but then he came back to live upstairs again a couple weeks later. Then one day she told me that she kicked him out. He went to stay at his parents house and she stayed at the apartment. The couple has a 1 year old and a 5 year old. The 5 year old went with the dad and the 1 year old stayed with the mom. I was furious when I heard that the dad had the 5 year old staying with him because I thought he was the more unstable one. The a few days ago my neighbor lady comes home from the bar looking like she is on some drugs, eyes as big as the moon. She told me that the husband and the grandparents had all been arrested for abuse and that the children were in the hospital under care of the state until Monday. I thought that was so strange that the state would get the kids instead of the mother. Plus I thought it was strange that the grandparents, who area really sweet old people would be arrested for abuse. So I checked the jail website to see if they were in custody and there was no record of them being arrested. Her story just doesn't make sense to me.
So when Monday came around I asked her if she was picking up her kids. She said she hoped so but I still haven't seen them around. I think all of this mess with her abusive husband and loss of the kids is making her go crazy. Just a couple minutes ago my neighbor on the side of me called and asked what just happened. I didn't know anything new was going on so I asked what she meant. She said a lady just came and delivered court papers upstairs. My side neighbor saw my crazy upstairs neighbor yelling at the woman and shaking her finger in her face. Oh and now I her her yelling and cussing up in her bedroom. Hopefully this wont go on too much longer. They were served a 30 day eviction notice 3 weeks ago.
