Count a lie, but I can't lose the sleep

[sovay]

The sidewalk jackhammers arrived directly in front of our house on the dot of seven and persisted on our street until the point in the afternoon when they moved off to torment an audibly adjacent block. The shallow nightmarish gasps I slept in were not enough. I can't do another spring at this pitch of sleeplessness. I can still hear industrial whines and trucks beeping up.

I ATEN'T HAPPY.

[edit] I did dream briefly about walking your kid to our local Whole Paycheck, which was not nightmarish and actually rather optimistic, even if I got blasted out of it by some other demolition-y noise.

You can't let him loose near the automatic orange juicer!
*hugs* I hope he gets to roam Greater Greater Boston with you soon. He has your affinity for an urban space.

He better like rivers and bridges, because chances are I'll introduce him to a bunch.
