Sometimes, in the suburban parking lots near my neighborhood, tractor trailer trucks overnight. The state thru-way rumbles by less than a mile from here, and I can usually hear some of the traffic on quiet nights - and in my neighborhood all the nights are quiet. We'd have to be having huge storms for it not to be quiet.

Tonight, the subsonic rumble from *something* (I suspect one of those tractor trailer trucks) is driving me out of my mind. And keeping me up. It isn't exactly a sound - but there is a definite (if subtle and very very low) vibration. I feel like there is atmospheric pressure on my ears - but that isn't quite right to describe this feeling/sound/whatever either. The best I can tell it is similar to that thing that makes noise-canceling earphones so uncomfortable for me to use - I hate them, can't use them.

I can't fall asleep - and the constant rumble/pressure/pain has me keyed up.

To sum up - I DON'T LIKE IT MAKE IT STOP!

I suppose it doesn't help that my house is a slab ranch - meaning its foundation is a flat concrete slab that house sits on. No basement.

So I ventured out to exactly one sale today - Michael's was having a huge sale and I got a whole bunch of stuff (art supplies) for under twenty bucks.

I must have had my "Remus Face" on while looking at the on sale paints because a mother and son were there debating colors for the kid to use in some kind of project. I didn't ask what kind of thing the kid was doing, but he was looking for green, brown, black, and white paint, and debating each color choice with his mother who was by turns asking if he *really* needed all that paint and whether he had *enough* paint. Wow, talk about your mixed messages!

Anyway, I imparted a little color choice and paint type wisdom on them because they *asked* and so I gave them my honest opinion. But then I sort of wandered away until they (loudly) went on their way, so I could peruse the paint in peace. Because OMG, they were wearing on the nerves.

Which brings me to today and my hermit tendencies. I wasn't really fit to be out in the world today with my hormonally moody self (which is hormonally moody EARLY, tyvm Mother Nature you raging bitch), so I came home right after Michael's and stayed home for the rest of the day. I decided not to inflict my grumpy ass on friends who were having a get together - because I'd have had to psych myself up to even go - which had I been feeling less hormonally homicidal and achy I would have had an easier time doing.

As it was I couldn't even get comfortable with a heating pad to make me feel better because it was eighty-five fucking degrees today and I couldn't even fathom a heating pad.

Also - what the hell happened to spring? It blew by here in about three days and left us with disgusting humid deep summer temperatures. I want my lovely sixty-five degree days! We went straight from 40 degrees to 85 degrees without even a by-your-leave.

Ugh. Horrible horrible day.

Well, back to work tomorrow. Bonus is tomorrow is payday, so yay for that.

And this made my grumpy butt laugh like hell today (so thank you, Drv, for that! I obviously needed it):
