So, I got both bad and good news for this update!

Let's begin with the bad per tradition, I was forced to take this week off due to real life issues.
This is very much related to what I was mentioned back during the "Week 24" post, but at that time I didn't want to say too much since it was something still ongoing.

And that is where the good news come in, it's finally been resolved as of late!
Full disclosure and overall history; back towards the end of January, a new family moved into the appartment above mine, which is on the smaller size and suitable for 1-2 persons.
However, this was a family of 4 and they decided to give their children the bedroom and make it a playroom...here is where it starts, because the appartment complex isn't very sound proof and the parents to these kids clearly didn't understand the importance of sleep for a growing child.
That is to say, the 2-3 year old son (and the bane of my existence) only slept 4-5 hours a night and would sometimes go up at 3AM and start jumping around like an elephant right above my bed, although more commonly around 5AM.

This was going on nearly every day for almost 19 hours straight with only brief pauses.
Monday to Sunday, months on end, ever since late January.

I gave them time to settle in, hopefully figuring out things on their own...didn't work.
I began confronting them about the noise, which I had never done before in my life...didn't work.
I began reporting them to the security company dealing with disturbances...didn't work.

The only option I had left, except moving away myself, was trying to get them evicted or at the very least warned, so I started recording the noises and sent them to, what is considered in most countries as, the landlord, and this process took several months with the family above my appartment given multiple warnings before they decided to move themselves.
And with the disturbances going on for so long, I developed a sleeping disorder and that is the reason why I had to take this week off because I've simply been too tired.
But with the cause no longer present, the healing process can finally begin and I desire to be back in full working condition soon enough!

Hopefully all of this came across as informative, rather than a rant.
Thanks for hearing me out and I'll get back to you next Tuesday as always!
