Angry Noise

OK - is it just me or does anyone else with MS have a very low tolerance for noise?

I am so used to the relative peace and quiet I have most all day while I'm home alone that I'm getting to the point of having no tolerance for noise.

Example - Kevin's girlfriend came over this evening and ate supper with us. No problem. But she is so loud and seems to be constantly making some type of noise. If it's not talking then she's singing or humming. Constantly. And it seems she cannot just walk in the house....she has to sort of flit around like Tinkerbell (jumping and skipping). Not to mention she terrorizes poor Tigger (my little orange kitty). He hears her voice and hightails it under the bed!!

I didn't mean for this to sound like a bashing fest but I feel so bad for feeling like this! She's a sweet girl and I really do love her.....I just have such a low tolerance for noise these days.

Even when I was grocery shopping yesterday the music was so loud that I finally asked the lady at the courtesy desk if the person who was in charge of the concert was hard of hearing. She agreed but said that she had no control over the volume.

I feel like that grouchy old woman that all the kids in the neighborhood are scared of!! And I'm only 47!!! I think it's time for some ear plugs.
