I’ve had relatives down for the weekend and while I love having them around and we always have a good laugh or two and enjoy hanging out… it can be a little hard to take when I’m in lots pain and have had the extra special fun of making nice for an extended period. Especially with these relatives because they seem to be so loud!
Not as loud mind you as my Canadian relatives… when the come to stay I’m often tempted to wear my hair out and buy earplugs in the hope that they might appear to be taking at a regular volume. My house might be near a highway, but it’s not very noisy here most of the time. There’s not a lot of raised voices and we don’t generally try to take at each other all at once.
So while it’s been fun ….. I’m really rather tired.
