Do you like fireworks?
Nope. Too loud, usually too crowded, way too overstimulating. Being a parent and trying to enthusiastically support this sort of event was torture.
Do you think fireworks should only be used by professionals?
Yes! I get so stressed hearing people light off fireworks in the neighborhood. Watching small children run around with things shooting off sparks makes me woozy.
Do you think today’s fireworks are value for money?
I can’t really answer this one seeing as I’m not exactly a connoisseur when it comes to purchasing fireworks.
What is your favourite and least favourite firework?
Without rescinding my hard NOPE to question #1 I’ll say the firework I like most is the soft crackly one that sprinkles a pretty white puff in the sky. It’s like a breath of fresh air amidst a sweaty, anxiety producing, ear splitting marathon.
Gratitude:
Decent sleep, cozy hoodies, comfy sneakers, and sunbathing cats.

Thanks for joining in Laura. We’ve had over 2 hours now of almost constant fireworks going off around us. Maya is usually not bothered, but the length of time and loud noises have unsettled her a little. Lots of reassurance from us and she’s snuggled against my feet, so I’m not going anywhere, bless her.

We lost our sweet Phoebe a year and a half ago and that dog’s nerves were TORE UP when she heard fireworks or thunderstorms. It was painful to watch and I’m grateful she doesn’t have to do it any more. So happy your Maya found comfort with you.

Thanks Laura. Barney wasn’t happy and would try and hide. Maggie was sort of OK but we found a loud movie to put on which seemed to mask the whizzes and pops outside. Maya was a bit unsettled with so many going on for so long, but she managed to doze through a lot of it.

I wonder how ER doctors handle the inevitable home firework injuries without hollering at people. I couldn’t do it.
