Tales from Leaf Blower Land

My neighbor has a leaf blower.
It's small, it's electric, it has a high pitched whine that is like nails on a blackboard.
My neighbor uses her leaf blower at least once a day for 20-30 minutes to blow things out of her garage.
My office is directly across the street from her garage.
Closed windows do nothing to keep the whine of the blower from making my skin crawl.
When she is having a party, my neighbor will use the leaf blower up to 10 times in one day.
My neighbor is a very nice lady.
I really need to move soon or face destruction of property charges...

Ok, I'm losing my mind.

I read the first line of that, and immediately thought of that "my baloney has a first name" song.

Which is now stuck in my head.

But even worse is that I noticed that if you change "My neighbor uses her leaf blower at least once a day" to "she uses it all the time", the rest of the words fit the with a lot less forcing than I would've expected, with "Closed windows do nothing to keep the whine of the blower from making my skin crawl." being the last line.

I'm kinda creeped out now. I either need whiskey or professional help. I'm not sure which.
