Frustrated much?
Today I have made the conscious decision to stay indoors in an effort to try and get some work done. And as I sit here on one of my ‘study breaks’ I have realised that I have chosen the wrong day to become a hermit. I approached today thinking it would be a good chance to get things done, I mean it’s the middle of winter so there’s not much to do anyway because it’s cold, and I would also have the house to myself, so therfore there would be no distractions.You can just imagine the shock on my sleepy scrunched up face when I awoke to find a big bright yellow thing beaming at me from my window. While I was internally furious at the weather, I tried to remain unperturbed, and after showering, giving the sky another look of disgust…and then another, I sat down to study.
Half an hour later, I was going full steam ahead until I was interrupted by an all too familiar sound. The sound my friends, was the piercing and consistent bark of my dog. Now I’m all for animals and whatnot, hell I don’t even eat meat, but there is nothing more annoying in the WORLD than the bark that this dog has. Now after putting up with it for ten minutes or so, it became evident that he wasn’t going to stop. I peeled myself out of my computer chair and attempted to shut him up. We have a mutual hate/hate relationship and I just know that he chooses his timing. He knows I can’t hack it on my own, so he waits. He waits until he’s got me cornered.
After numerous "shut up Rocky"s later, he cracked me. He knew it, I knew it and the goddamn stupid sun probably knew it too. I gave him one of those bone-shaped dog biscuit things that smells like god knows what, and he trotted off. And while he did stop braking, the only thought I had in my head was: He had won.
Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way (I’ve closed the curtains so that I can fool myself into thinking it’s gloomy out and fed my now snoring dog) I can finally concentrate.
I took this picture of my dogs yesterday when I was feeling a little more loving towards them. Don’t be fooled, the one in the back is the neighbourhood cat-killer and the one in the front will bark at his own shadow.
And I also took it upon myself to take photographic evidence of this fateful day as I am sure the sky will turn against me on the weekend and the dull grey clouds will make a comeback. Yes, I am bitter.
