My mobile is something that rarely rings so that doesn´t bother me much at all. When it does ring it is usually something important.

During the night everything is calm around here, which is prime work time. But it does throw my day rythm off. Which isn´t that good.

My place varies from quiet to nonquiet every day, every hour. In both good and bad.

Haha, I work best at night, too. That’s usually when I get most of my writing work done. My place is pretty quiet nowadays, though, which is something I’m thankful for.

If I could I would get in bed with a music player, but that isn´t working since I can´t sleep with the headphones on me. In-ear or enclosing my whole ear makes no difference, I just can´t sleep with it. Setting a radio player is also a no no for me, wouldn´t work since the amout of sound needed to drown everything else would mean I wouldn´t be able to sleep myself :p

If keeping them outside my room would solve the problem I would.

But if I lock myself in my room one of the dogs stand and rasp against the door when he wants something, or he barks trough the door when he wants to come in…

If they are outside, then if they find something that they don´t like, they bark.

Which my dear parents ignore “I couldn´t hear them barking” is what one of them usually says while the other yells “Why does it always have to be me?”

In conclussion, they don´t give a crap about the dogs being outside barking hard as hell. Which I can hear quite easily. With my headphones on and music.

So it might have been a possible solution for other people, not for me.

Why not try locking your dogs out of your room then, or letting them outside in times when you most need the peace? Or perhaps asking your dad to turn the TV down and explain why you need the quiet for important essays and such?
