This morning I was woken up by a dog barking. It was 6:15 a.m. Normally I am awake at 5:00 a.m., or 4:58 a.m. I don’t use an alarm clock, my body just wakes up on its own. I want to write at 5:00, so my brain wakes me up a few minutes before. I have a head cold and my back hurts, so my brain was still sleeping at 6:15 a.m.

I hate to be woken by a barking dog.
