I am wearing headphones around the house today. Just headphones, no iPod or music player to be attached to. My neighbour in the unit directly below mine is drilling away, and he has been doing so every day for the past week. It is not the mildly tolerable construction drilling that one is accustomed to but has more the intensity of an earthquake. One would think he is mining for diamonds in the ceiling that is my floor. It is obnoxious and too loud and does nothing for the frozen atmosphere in my household. It cracks me. So even though it had just rained I shall wager the icy waters of the pool as an escape from this decibel genocide.
