Dear Morgy,
Yes, I know that people get used to sounds. I lived near airports or trains my whole adult life.

But the skateboarding was a sound I didn't recognize. And it was unsettling in a way even after I identified the sound.

I have to figure out why I am so sensititive. Maybe it is a reaction to having to adjust to the move.

I believe I am getting better. I also recognize that this is part of a process -- that it does not happen over night. And that I can be patient.
