In the end, I win

Dear incredibly loud and high-pitched road construction going on outside my window,

Tonight I will beat you.

I bought a 4 pack of industrial earplugs. I'm using the whole pack.

My bed is now covered in piles of clothing. Nestled amongst all the fabric, I won't feel the vibrations of whatever you are doing out there.

One word: Nyquil.

Check mate.

with enough disdain to leave you cold in July,

Emily
