Didn't think that through so well....My town is one of those that spends tens of thousands of dollars on fireworks and attracts people from hours away to our display. As I understand it, during fireworks there are more out-of-towners than residents of Cow Pastureville here and it takes hours to empty out. Fortunately I have a great view from my patio. Normally this is fun.
This year I have been getting increasingly stressed as people play with firecrackers. Yet it didn't occur to me what this day would be like. Just to get through the last 2 hours has taken a double dose of ativan, an hour plus in my gross, smelly but nearly soundproof basement, and earplugs.
And I am still so jumpy it's probably externally visible. I think I have about 10 more pops in me before someone eats a firecracker....(not really)
Sure, read everything you'd like. It's not always easy going though. My days aren't always um, even!
