I was feeling depressed this morning but felt a little bit better after breakfast. Just when I was starting to feel a little bit better, some landscapers came and are cutting down bushes next door. A lot of noise with the chainsaws; and then they'll use the mulcher, which will make more noise.

I would feel so much better if only I didn't have to put up with so much noise around me. There's what I just mentioned, new development across the street, and houses being remodeled. Oh, there's the 4th coming up! Every night, lately, there's been all kinds of fireworks going on. I really hate this time of year!
