dear, dear silence, besides my cats purrs & my heater & a/c-- i run both co-concurrently-- i mute my television & unplug my landline so as to avoid noise~~ ppl know to not dial my cell b-4 5pm--
i hear hiccups; i get those nearly nightly~ i read a book, rather than watch television or hear music--
peace. i saw debates & heard bickering half my night, & have thus taken to my other forms of entertainment a.k.a.- internet & reading. & menu-making~
