In the meanwhile

It's been an odd day today, what with the moods. I am more than usually sensitive to sounds. I feel like I can hear every single thing simultaneously, and it's all against a background of white noise. I've had the earplugs in since this morning. When I got to the gardening thing I explained that I was feeling quiet, and that I didn't want to talk. They left me alone to get on with some weeding, which I thoroughly enjoyed. You probably would not know what a great weight off my mind it is, to be able to be myself and not have to try and hide it. I came away with a bit of a headache though.
