I'm vaxxed out the bum and it still kicked my butt. I actually wrote this post before it hit it's peak. At the time I was thinking, "Oh, cool, not so bad". Cut to me 2 days later... yikes! It's taken me almost a month for my inner ears to recalibrate. Seems to affect everyone different though.
thank you for validating my leaf blower hatred! i honestly can't tell when i'm just being extra sometimes, but really... why!? glad to hear you guys' covid cases weren't too bad. i'm still trucking through it. i think i've made it through the worst, hopefully on the downswing at this point. fingers crossed!
So much LOL. Leaf blowers... being in a Kafka novel. I all relate!
(In fact, I had many imaginary shouting matches with leaf blowers when my child was a colicy newborn who wouldn't go to sleep unless outside in a sling, but was immediately awoken by a random leaf blower in the park in the peak of summer... do we really need them what with, y'know, natural wind??)
Thank you, Hannah! It brings me so much joy to hear my writing made you laugh. Achievement unlocked! I cannot imagine how much more upset I would be about leaf blowers if they were waking up a colicky newborn. I feel even more leaf blower rage for you now just thinking of it! Very much hoping you're on the other side of that by now. I'm over the hump of the worst of my Covid, so, fingers crossed!
I’m late to the party. Hopefully you’ve recovered by now. That was a funny read, thank you. 🍂. My neighbor hates leaves. He blows and rakes blows and rakes. Then a windy day comes along and all the leaves on my lawn end up on his previously leaf-free lawn. He never complains to me but I know it irritates him to death that I am not as anti-leaf as he is. So o try to avoid him in the fall. It’s awkward.
HAHA this is such a hilarious idea, I could see it as a sitcom episode. Like a Curb Your Enthusiasm episode with Larry David as your neighbor who is staunchly "anti-leaf". Thanks for sharing Marlene!
Haha, thank you Eirin! I love this leaf blower rage validation. They are truly an insane invention. I was woken up by them even just THIS morning! The chaos lives on. We will have to keep fighting the good fight of being silently annoyed another day.
You made me LOL! I hope you get well really soon!
Yay, thank you Randy!
I wonder how many people, after having had cvd, wonder “was that seriously what all this fuss has been about?!” Seriously.

Omg the leaf blowers. They rove around in packs and just blow dirt and leaves around, and then come back a week later and blow it all around again.
Sorry to hear you have COVID. I hope it's brief! We got it recently for the first time and it was thankfully pretty quick.
