Seeing this is my first post EVER on a public blog, I've decided to just think of it as if I'm writing just for me. It's the only way I can do it. I'm so self-conscious about my grammar and punctuation that I would never think of doing something like this for others to read. But I've decided to give this thing a shot and see how I like it. If I don't like it, then I won't continue. Easy as that.

I've got a bad cold...coughing, wheezing, nose running. Ugh! It's hard enough for me to sleep at night without having to deal with a cold too. Oh well, it could be a lot worse. I shouldn't really complain about something so trivial.

I live in an eight-family apartment complex that my landlord recently allowed dogs. Now don't get me wrong I love dogs. It's just when you have a small apartment complex and each apartment (except mine) has at least one dog, it gets a bit loud at times. A few even have two dogs! The dogs are starting to settle down and not bark quite so much. It got pretty unbearable for a while and I really didn't think I could handle it. Any loud noise or repetitious sound can cause me to become over stimulated audibly. It's probably my Aspergers or the Bipolar issues that I deal with. I try to not let stuff like that bother me, but I find myself getting worked up and then find it hard to calm down. Things are improving so I'm thankful for that.
