Not how I wanted to wake up.

Around 8 this morning, our neighbor's tree trimming service went to work cutting down the trees between our house and our neighbor's house. One or two of those trees in question were technocally on her property. We had it out with her, as the tree also provided shade for me. This year, we gave our concent. We just didn't expect to be woken up to a chain saw. On the other hand, George actually woke up mostly dry this morning. His shirt wasn't soaked. His peg tube dressing was dry (but I changed it anyway), and his shirt only had one spot on the corner wet. Don't get me wrong, he still pees on himself, especially at night when he's lying on the couch, But, that's not going to change until he decides to make the change and make more effort to go to the bathroom, even when he doesn't think he has to go. But, waking up dry, that's a huge accomplishment. He should also be dry for a while, because he peed this morning when getting dressed. It's two minutes after 11 Am, and I wanted to post this. I'll have to scramble to get clothes when I feed Chilly, to give George his morning pill. Since he got it just a little after midnight last night/this morning, I can take a moment to post.

It is very annoying to wake up to loud noises, but the good news is that George was dry.

That is not a good way to wake up!! Such noise! I remember the first time the owners of the land behind us did some clearing after we first moved here. Talk about a rude awakening! That lasted for a good 2-3 weeks. They only did it one other time in the 20 + years we have been here so that is good!

@kareng With the trees now completely gone, that shouldn't be an issue.

That is good he was dryer today. Hopefully he will start making changes so he wakes up dry daily. 8am is early to be warm up by workers. 9 would have been better but not all businesses wait until 9 unfortunately

This is a guy who owns his own company, more or less. He's been cuting and doing my neighbor's landscaping for years. Last year he made a dig at my husband's skills (he wants to do it himself) and we weren't happy about it. Not worth fuding with the neighbors over it.

Being woken up by a chain saw doesn't sound like a very pleasant way to start the day. Sorry you're going to lose the shade from that tree. Hope the rest of your day goes well.

If we didn't have black out curtians and blinds, I'd be more annoyed. Hell, with it gone, I am.

It is hard to be a caretaker. Often you are tired and overwhelmed. I'm sorry you had the extra stress of chainsaws in the morning.

I'm no more tired then usual. Yesterday's bath did drain my energy. But, we were just startled.... or at least I was by the noise. I still got everything done, and I'll be getting up to switch out the laundry here in a minute.

@kaylachan I'm glad you are doing okay with everything. Will there be a tree mess in your yard?

Not a fun way to get woke up
