I apologize for my recent rant behavior in regards to the neighbor's dog. It occurred to me while I was in the shower today that this dog is an animal. It reacts to stimuli, unable to process the logic of the event, unable to control it's feelings, completely inept and stuck in it's current environment, not physically capable of changing itself or the world around it for the better or the worse.
Me, on the other hand.. I've been acting like a dog for the past month. =} I get woken up and instinctively "react". I get angry and rant, I complain about the dog, and I get grumpy =^.^=
So, I've decided, being human, to change myself and my environment. My family has talked to our neighbors and they can't really do anything.. so since I cannot make pains to change the neighbors, I shall change myself =}
Which means.. uh.. waking up earlier, going to bed earlier, using the dog as a psuedo alarm clock, and attempting to wake up non-cranky every morning when the dog barks.
Let's see if it works =)
