Short list of grumpitude

by Rachael E.C. Acklin on April 16, 2008

Ladies and gentlemen, I am grumpy today. Somehow a grouchy bug climbed up my butt while I was sleeping, and I woke up… grumpy. Don’t ask me why, because I don’t know. Also I will probably snap at you. I’m sorry.

Here is a short list of things that SHOULD be cheering me up, but which are not doing a damn thing:

1. Fresh coffee with chocolate-flavored creamer
2. Sunshine outside my window and clear blue skies
3. Being awake

Here is a short list of things that are probably not helping:

1. My desk is REALLY dirty. Messy + dusty. Yuck.
2. My hair is dirty. I deep conditioned it yesterday and today it feels twice as gross as usual between showers.
3. I have the remnants of a head cold, so I’m coughing up gross disgusting crud every other minute.

Obviously, I have deep personal problems, which can only be solved by a combination of these things: a) take a shower, b) go for a walk outside, and c) quit BELLYACHING!

I hope I didn’t grump everyone else out too. Back to drinking my delicious coffee. (Grump.)

Well drat. Maybe that won’t help at all. Of course, I haven’t even tried it yet. :p
Marylin April 16, 2008 at 11:29 am: hmm, this is the second blog I’ve used this on…

/hug

I hate having a dirty/messy desk, drives me up the wall but then I never do much about it… my own enemy I guess eh?

Hope you feel better soon!
tamara April 16, 2008 at 2:25 pm: i wake up all the time in a bad mood. it sucks. my poor husband and son have no idea why i’m so mad for no real reason. frankly, i don’t usually have a clue either! although i do notice that my anger is directly proportional to the coffee that i had not yet had. funny that…

Rachael April 16, 2008 at 9:16 pm: @ Marylin:

Aww, thanks Marilyn. That was a very nice hug. :)

I did manage to clean the desk off, if not dust it yet. It did help a wee bit.
Rachael April 16, 2008 at 9:16 pm: @ Nicole:

Thanks, hon! I do feel better now.
Rachael April 16, 2008 at 9:17 pm: @ tamara:

HAHAHA, you know, that has a lot to do with mine quite often. Except for rarer occasions, like today, when it did NOT A THING.
Rachael April 16, 2008 at 9:19 pm: @ Sarah:

LOL! I’m glad you can relate. Although I hope the grumpy bug didn’t bite you today. ;)
amysue April 16, 2008 at 11:38 pm: Hope tomorrow (or is that later today?) is better!

I was somewhat grumpy this morning (doing bills seems to do that to me) but at 11am I decided to chuck it all and take my new bike to the rail trail near the reservoir and ride! What a beautiful ride it was beside the water and through the woods. it was just what I needed (well, until the rest of the day hit me on the head-but I’m clinging to that one great hour)
