Strange Maps, Strange Story

Strange Story

As some readers will know, especially the Blogger/Facebook blog followers, I work in corporate security full-time during the week, as well as with blogging.

On the weekends primarily, I homecare for my disabled and deaf Mother. I live in the upstairs section of the condominium and she resides downstairs and I mainly see her on the weekends.

Having completed my financially restructuring and moved onto better days, I also assist my Mother with financial issues.

She recently, while we were discussing business, stated once again, as she has for many months, that she hears music in her head at 'five' and that it comes from the neighbours to our north that recently moved in to the apartment.

I stated that she had heard the music in her head prior to the new owners moving in. I had never heard any music from these owners or when the condominium was empty for several years.

I assumed that it was only in her head.

The previous owner from several years ago did at times play loud dance music, but she had departed for the United States years ago and decided to default on her mortgage payments, but that is another story. This allowed her bank and the strata to leave 'Donald Trumpish' like warning letters on her door, for all to see, for several months.

I assured my Mother (aka The Boss) that as my desk and office, near a wall, was right next to that north apartment, I had never heard this music, nor had any healthcare worker that Mother had asked.

Mother then clarified and stated for the the first time after months (sigh) of this debacle that she heard the music at five am.

I had assumed for months in my finitude as she was virtually deaf without her hearing aids, and she only wears one 'aid' (sigh) that it would be highly unlikely she could hear anything in bed at five am without her 'aids'. And she is on the south side of the condominium.

I have spoken loudly beside her with her hearing aids off, as a test, and she could not hear me.

At five pm, besides maybe on Saturday a Sunday, I am not upstairs and not in the apartment. I work at that time during the week. My computer is not on.

However, when I go to bed in the early morning, all through most mornings I either play via iTunes rock, jazz and classical alternating mixes to assist my sleep, or I listen to online preaching or other audio teaching.

Sometimes I even listen to Bob Ross, which works very-well as a sleep aid.

No, I do listen to my own audio teaching (and learning). That would be far too boring and sort of stupid, but hopefully only for me.

I then stated to Mother that perhaps she can hear my music or audio that runs from my laptop through quality speakers at about 3 am to 11: 30 am most days.

Eventually we agreed that was the case.

Strange story that neither one of us thought of that as an answer, but I assumed that it was just all in her head...
