This morning when I woke up I quite literally could not open my eyes.
I actually had to pry them open with my fingers, and even then they wouldn’t stay open, and they definitely were not liking the light.
Given that they were watery and irritated, it seemed likely that this was some sort of allergy thing, and not just the result of being tired (though I was, and still am).
They got a little better after I took a shower, as I could at least keep them open, but putting my contacts in was clearly out of the question.
I didn’t want to take a Benadryl because they make me sleepy, so I had to shell out two bucks for one Claritin tablet at the convenience store I stop at before work. Once I took that my eyes got much better, and I was able to put in my contacts, which I had brought in to work with me.
The problems with my eyes, however, did not prevent me from enacting my evil scheme on this, the last Saturday morning in which I would be up at 5 AM to leave for work from my current residence. I have next weekend off, and the weekend after that I will be fully ensconced in my new home.
So naturally that meant that this was the ideal opportunity in which to get some small measure of revenge on the owners of the goddamn barking dogs above and below me.
I made a CD consisting of various dogs barking, including several brief interludes of silence (thanks to Type O Negative’s “song” The Misinterpretation of Silence and Its Disastrous Consequences, a track that consists of a little over a minute of silence), which are followed by more barking. I had the first few tracks be silence to allow me time to get away after setting the CD playing with the speakers at full blast at about 5:20 this morning.
Because I’m not a monster, I didn’t set it on Repeat, so they only got treated to about 45 minutes of barking, though it’s my sincere hope that it was sufficient to drive their dogs crazy.
And it's not like they can complain to me about it. I mean, I don't have a dog, so how could it have been my dog barking? They're the ones with the barking dogs.
Besides, I'll be gone in a few days anyway.
Evil? Sure, but clearly they were asking for it.

Damn that's funny. I wish I could have been a fly on the wall...a fly on the wall with earmuffs.
