And the ringing in your ears won't stop

[sovay]

It is a small thing in the face of every other piece of scarifying news, but I wish to complain about the roaring mechanical cacaphony that has dominated our eardrums all afternoon. It sounds most like a woodchipper, although then I worry about what it's been doing for hours on end. spatch believes it to be in action right around the corner of the bottom of our street. I like trees and do not like the flashbacks to last year's six months straight of sleep-shattering municipal construction. I haven't been able to take out my earplugs and it still hurts.

Well, that is unacceptable! You are already well over your recommended quota on extra noise. They will just have to go away for at least 5 more years if not more.

Can you double up with earplugs and the over-ear noise cancelling buffer things that make Eli's life possible? Happy to send unless having things over your ears makes you want to spork yourself in the shins.

Unfortunately, noise-canceling headphones provoke sporking, but I appreciate the offer! The street has just now quieted and we are waiting twitchily to see if it will stay that way.

Your proposal is sound and I hope the universe fast-tracks it!

They do awful things with my PTSD -- something something flight response -- but rest assured, he has now deployed a convenient excuse for getting a new pair of Vanderfields for himself and decided, should you ever have a rewiring and decide to use them, you'd be best off in Marine Blue or Purple.

Aw. Tell him thanks from me and my neurology.

UGH. I am sorry.

This is a particularly unfunny running joke on the part of the municipality (et al)

Hugs

Thank you! It felt unnecessary!

Oh seriously what the fuck. I wish I could give you an impenetrable (except for gas exchange) bubble to deploy at need.

That is an incredibly kind and scientifically thoughtful wish!
