Overcome by Emotional Reasoning...
I really hate to admit this, but I feel a need to. I was just working on an update to the app and realized that none of the references were not loading. I jumped to the conclusion that I broke the app. Note that I was running on a simulator. To aggravate things, out cockatiel was "cheeping" away right behind me. I was trying to figure out what when wrong, the bird was cheeping, and I planned to stop working on the app a half hour ago. I found myself in a bad mood, and was focused on all the things that were sub-optimal in my life. If forgot to check the lawn mower today, the new project at work is going to be quite a handful, I'll need to fix the app, do some work stuff, mow the lawn, and more tomorrow. There won't be any time for me. And the bird won't shut up. Anyway, I took a little break and when I came back I realized that the modem crapped out for a minute or two. All is well now. It's funny how quickly my thoughts can hijack my mood.
