Here it's coming from the building next to mine. There's no scaffolding or anything but there's workers coming in and out the building. Even if I just plug music on my headphones I can't have zoom meetings with all that noise in the background.

It's fortunately not that bad ... more like an annoying low frequency noise that goes up and down in volume depending on how close to my apartment they're working. I'm quite easily annoyed by such low noises, so it's been tiring.

The drilling sounds most of the time (like now) like there's a vibrating phone in my apartment.

My neighbor gets railed almost every night. I don't... mind the noise though.

So, given that libraries, coworking spaces, bars, everything... is closed, I can't work anywhere that it's not my home.

My neighbor has decided this is the bestest time of all to start renovations in his apartment AND THE NOISE IS DRIVING ME CRAZY.

Yeah I know, everyone who can't work from home has decided to go all out on DIY.  :rolleyes:

I had that in spring. They mechanically opened the reinforced concrete to put electric cables into the wall. Nerve-racking noise. :ultra:

The sister of one of our good friends died of COVID.  She had been active and healthy.  She was in her early 50s and living in the NE of the US.  My friend was trying to figure out a way to go down and see her but was not able to get there in time because of how quickly the virus took her.

I'm so sorry. :(

I'm so sorry, cc. :( That's awful.
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Took the boys for a Covid test while Mrs B hunkered down in our bedroom all day.  Boys took the tester up the nose like champs.

Still very sorry we missed the boys first hockey games of the years. :(

Boys and I all came back negative.

Phew! Here's hoping Mrs B manages this fairly easily.

Still symptom-free and feeling pretty bored.

What a relief for you.  Sucks for Mrs. BB but still a lot better than the alternative.

Good on the boys for taking the test well.   :thumbsup:
