Monday Musings - The sound of silence
Having RB on a different schedule than me is driving me crazy. I feel like I can never get the television any more. That’s fine, I can go on the computer. Most of the time when he’s got the tv he watches garbage that I don’t like, so I put my headphones on and listen to music.
I have recently been informed that the sound of my foot tapping makes it hard to enjoy whatever tv show he’s watching. So I stopped tapping my foot. I sometimes sing to myself. Not out loud, not since the incident on the flight to England. Silently. A low volume chorus did escape this week and I was asked if I was listening to cats being tortured. I have also been informed that the movement of my lips when I sing to myself make a noise that makes it hard to concentrate in the tv show. I have tried to stop singing to myself. I have been known to dance in my computer chair. I have now been informed that when I dance in my seat the chair makes a squeaky noise. (I knew that.) And, apparently my neck makes a noise when I move it around when dancing in my seat. Apparently the sound of silence is pretty loud. Who knew?
WTF! Am I allowed no enjoyment while you watch your crappy horror movie or that movie or episode of whatever that you’ve seen twenty times already? You don’t hear me complaining that I can hear that crap over my music do you! I have listened to years of band practice (and I use that term loosely) and never complained (not out loud, not to you).
I’m thinking in another week I may need some bail money.
So. Is there something you think is your spouse or significant other does that makes you mad or annoys you?
