And I'd pass the time like some machine

[sovay]

Last night: pain, allergies. We re-made the bed around six in the morning so that my skin would stop trying to crawl off itself. Then around nine o'clock the construction started. Behind the house, they are cutting down and woodchipping trees; in front they are jackhammering off the concrete steps and the paved walk of the other half of the duplex, so the noise and the ear-shattering vibration comes right up through our walls. It woke me before my alarm did. I am wearing earplugs in my own office. My day was already slated to be physically exhausting. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow and another the day after that and then on Friday I have to travel, to help friends out of town move. I have no idea how the hell the rest of this week is going to work.

Twelve years after seeing and somewhat imprinting on Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006), I am pleased to have discovered that the incredibly catchy "Two Hornpipes (Tortuga)" is actually "Fisher's Hornpipe." I like this version.

I'm sorry about the noise and the detacable skin - and the treadmill of doctor's appointments. I hope they will help with the pain and allergies, and that the noise will abate...

Thank you. I am desperately hoping that the construction will not resume promptly at nine tomorrow, but since the other half of the duplex still does not have new steps, I have no confidence.

Sorry to hear about the pain, the allergies, and the construction noise.

The Cicero thing is great.

I'm accepting it as canonical.

Ugh,woodchippers and jackhammers? That's both cruel, and unusual.

Fingers crossed for allergies and pain settling down.

[asakiyume]

Yeah, having two sources of hideous noise seems extra mean of the universe.

[sovay]

Ugh,woodchippers and jackhammers? That's both cruel, and unusual.

I thought so! And both sides of the house, so there was nowhere to get away from it.

Fingers crossed for allergies and pain settling down.

Thank you.

That's a brutal combination of things to deal with and do. :(

Thank you. Nobody had better want anything from me next week.

[choco_frosh]

Yeah, this. And let me know if there's anything I can do.

(Well, other than go Hannalore on the construction people.)

[asakiyume]

That last version is very nice indeed.

Here's to sleep, may it be in your near future.

[sovay]

That last version is very nice indeed.

I will even forgive it not accompanying a bar brawl.

Here's to sleep, may it be in your near future.

Thank you.

ugh, ugh, UGH. If I were there I'd stand between them and the jackhammers and BITE them until at least ten.

That's one of the nicest things I've been told lately. Thank you.

[yhlee]

Oof, so sorry about the pain and noise. :( Hope they abate soon.

[sovay]

Hope they abate soon.

Thank you. There were at least no jackhammers this morning!
