5:00AM is no time to be woken up by the noises of young dogs barking, but sadly that wasn't the worst part of the early morning wake up call. The worst part was that their owner didn't do anything about it. It was so loud I couldn't sleep and she didn't get up to tell them "No."
This scenario isn't exactly shocking because it has occurred often enough for us to decide we will not be renewing our lease. What is shocking about this, is that after deciding not to renew the lease we are much calmer in frustrating situations like last night's early wake up call.
The realization that "we are only in this situation as long as we want to be" feels like a weight off our shoulders. We aren't stuck in a situation, instead we are 'in control' so to speak of our living arrangements.
That 'control' doesn't help us much right now, but it makes the frustration less, and more manageable.
It's amazing how a little mental perspective can change the way I look at a situation.
Don't get me wrong, I didn't appreciate the wake up call. But knowing I won't have to deal with it forever is easy on the mind.
