[Mason popped into the front door of the record shop, getting slightly distracted by the little bell that rang over his head. He did love being announced. It was not records he was in search of though, and instead skipped his way over to the counter and leaned forward on it.] 

Did you just come out of the oven? Because you are hot!

I lose several days a week... to a lawnmower.

Let me clarify. I live in a place where summers get hot (I’m lucky to be in a basement apartment), and so windows need to be open or I’ll fry. About 3-4 days a week, the maintenance staff hop on the riding mower around 9am and get to it (leaving out the weed whacker that comes around later, much closer). This lawn care lasts until around 1-2pm.

I have SPD (sensory processing disorder) and noises like this physically hurt. My noise cancelling headphones aren’t enough. Often I lie in bed with my pinkies shoved as far into my ear canals as they can go (which is its own sort of torture because now I’m understimulated). And that takes all of my spoons. No shower. No changing the cat litter. No washing my sheets or vacuuming or cooking. I grab a frozen waffle, I eat it cold, and I wait for the afternoon when I can miserably recover.

I basically wanted to see if anyone relates, or has helpful advice (preferably other people with auditory sensitivity or knowledge therein).

Sooooo I really fucking hate to make this post cause I hate asking for help, but I haven’t been able to find full time work in a month now, putting me a month behind rent, and several bills (storage, phone, getting to work, etc.).

Thanks in advance 😖 Venmo: @Alee13soul 🤧

[Mason didn’t bother getting properly dressed. He just put his coat and hat on and grabbed his keys, driving himself right over to Mel’s dorm building. He had his arms wrapped around himself when he reached her door, only reaching up to wipe at his face and then knock. It was late and he knew she might be asleep, but he needed her all the same.]

[Mason had boarded his way over to the dorms as he so often did and made his way to Mel’s room. Once let inside, he plopped down on her bed and stared up at the ceiling with a dramatic sigh.] Mellllll, c’mere. [he requested, making grabby hands in her direction.]

[Mason arrived at Mel’s door with a fairly large and gift wrapped box. He knocked at the door and stood there, butt wiggling back and forth with excitement over his secret date plan.]

[Mason walked back into their hotel room with Mel’s hand in his. They’d had another fun filled day in the city and he was both exhilarated and exhausted.] This place really is unlike anywhere else, isn’t it?

[Melanie had brought the little wagon they’d picked out together and they were in one of the side rooms adding some last minute decorations to it before the ceremony. The wagon was already red, so Mason had made some sparkly black garland to go around it to match Beetlejuice and his tie. He grabbed the ring pillow and tucked the rings into the little pocket so the cat couldn’t actually get at them.] How does it look?
