It may be Memorial Day but I’m working, not playing. I’m not feeling like a martyr. Not exactly. I’m dreading tonight.

I work in front of a window and our neighbors across the street are loud and sometimes obnoxious, so I hear things. Most are not fit for polite society.

But I digress. I don’t know if I’ve blogged here about this, but my sister is little-by-little fixing up Mom’s house. She had a window company install replacement windows downstairs. Well,  today I’m feeling jealous of my own mother.

See, if I had vinyl windows up here, I could shut out the noise emanating from the house across the street.  That would include exploding firecrackers that are threatening to send me into premature incontinence. But as it is, this old wooden window next to me is stuck wide open. I hope it doesn’t rain tonight. But if it does, maybe that will curtail the firecrackers. Oh! There goes another one. Oops. Gotta go…
