I lost it recently when a neighbor’s dog barked all night, non-stop. I didn’t know a dog could actually do that, but I listened to it from about 8pm until 5am. I couldn’t quite tell where it was coming from or I probably would have walked over there in the middle of the night and had a conversation. Instead, I tried to boost the dog, I tried to boost the neighbor to make the dog shut up, then I really lost it and started entertaining some violent fantasies about hurting the neighbor. I couldn’t ground or anything, I was so mad. So, sometimes it’s hard to keep your energy on the right track. Everyone has their moments and I know how hard it can be. You just have to keep trying every day. Luckily, it was a one-time event and we haven’t heard the dog since.
