Today evolved around me from noise, the demolition of my husband's shower, which involved lots of thumping and bumping, to music. After listening to thuds and banging all day, we now have a shower lined with Go Board by Johns Manville. This material is, I am assured, far superior to ordinary dry wall. It won't disintegrate or dissolve or get moldy behind the ceramic tiles if the calking happens to develop cracks, which, after 20 years or so, it probably will. So tomorrow and Saturday should actually be quieter days. Affixing tiles to the walls can't be that noisy, can it? But that's for tomorrow.
This evening, after the tile team left at 6:30pm (they do work long hours) my spouse and I went to the Holiday Pops. Music is a lovely antidote to rhythm-less noise. It was a joy to hear the Fort Wayne Children's Choir sing, and the Philharmonic choir and orchestra were as wonderful as always. Now I can go to sleep with melodies like 'The Twelve Days of Christmas,' 'Rudolph' and 'White Christmas' weaving through my dreams, instead of thump, bump, clatter, bang. Hooray for Christmas music.
