With a little preparation, I can usually deal with anything. You will hear dogs barking. I was prepared to sing over them. Like sometimes happens around here, a lady was walking her dog up the street. I saw her coming. I was fully prepared for her to walk by and trigger the four dogs across the street again. No problem. I wasn't prepared for what the lady decided to do.
You'll see me look up when it finally gets to me. I had prepared myself for the dogs starting to bark, maximum barking, then tapering off. This isn't the first time I've experienced this. I could tell you when someone is walking down the road even if I'm in my basement or at the beach. There was a variable, though, that I wasn't prepared for. You see, she stopped. I guess I didn't think she'd do that. My instincts knew the dogs were going on too long and I looked up. Then I saw her demonstrating she must live in a bubble. That's hard to take when it's affecting me. Not like this is the first time she's walked her dog. Everybody knows what happens when you walk by that house. She wasn't watching me. She was staring at the house full of dogs with her mouth hanging open; literally extending the time I had to listen to it.
People aren't necessarily distracting me on purpose. Well, that's only half true. It's that people have become so self absorbed even if they might care how their actions affect others, they can't even perceive it. Sounds like a request for some Velvet Revolver today. Dunno.
