I Don't Give a Hoot

Tweet

We had a nice cold front push through northern Florida this weekend. So nice, in fact, that I opened up all my windows throughout the house to enjoy the crisp, fresh and cold air. But as I'm sitting here in my living room trying to watch football games, the sounds of the games are being drowned out and overpowered by a large and very vocal barred owl in my backyard. I can't see it from my position on the couch, but it has to be sitting in the tree right outside my screened-in patio. And the darned owl is chatting away like it was an old lady gossiping with the neighbor across the way. I love owls, don't get me wrong, but they usually come out at night, not during the day. Why oh why, Mr. Owl, did you decide to interrupt my football game? I don't give a hoot how big and beautiful you are, please go make noise somewhere else and leave me in peace. Oh God, I sound like a grumpy old many yelling for the kids to get off my lawn! But I will let nothing disturb or interrupt me when I'm watching football. What is something in your daily life that you absolutely do not want to be interrupted or disturbed while you are doing it?
