Grumpy Grumpy Grumpy!

I am SO grumpy today!  Even as I type this I can tell I am super grumpy because I am pounding the keys harder than usual.  I don’t know why I am grumpy.  I will assume for now that it is some chemical imbalance.

I get this way sometimes.  I slip into a mood or phase or some other category yet to be defined and like Snow White’s kiss, only one particular trigger will snap me out of it.. the problem?  I don’t know what that trigger is.

I think what bugs me the most is that I have everything to be happy for and nothing to be grumpy for. Ok so I know I have a bad habit (unconscious) where I tend to absorb the moods of those around me.. but to my knowledge no one around me is overly grumpy today.  Who knows.. maybe I am channeling someone from a floor below me

I am changing jobs soon.  I have a new role that really suits me better than my current one.  I have an amazing boyfriend whom I love immensely and I have a wonderful family.  I am surrounded by all good things.. and yet here I am… practically sitting in a slump with my arms crossed and a scowl on my face that would scare small children.

I fake a smile as people pass me in the hallways and I am pretty good at responding “good thanks!” when people ask how I am.  Seriously, who wants to sit there and here me basically recite this blog about how I am grumpy and how maybe it is PMS or maybe its just that I am channeling the mood of the guy next door.. oh and by the way, I am just grumpy enough to tell you that I really don’t enjoy idle chit chat and would rather you not ask how I am..

I am sure that would go over well.

So here I am.. I had some sushi in an attempt to cheer me up.  It always seems to help when I am sick.. but then again its not great Kinjo sushi so I am not thrilled.  I also had some noodles.. forgoing my home made dinner from last night’s roast beef.  As delicious as last night’s dinner was, it wasn’t satisfying that need I have.. that little thing behind my right ear grumbling about how annoyed and irritated and bitchy I am and how I should try and fix it by employing every vice available… mmmm caffeine, mmmmm magazines, mmmm sushi, mmmmm noodles… hmmmmmmmmm car wash…

Yes, I did say car wash.  Its a valid vice!  Its pleasant and makes me feel like I have accomplished something, even if it only lasts 3 or 7 minutes or however long it takes… But there is something about going in dirty and coming out clean that is so satisfying…

Wow.. that actually cheered me up!  Thinking about a car wash actually just made the muscles in my face lift.. hmmmmmm…  I think its time to take Mizu in for a wash!

So here I am… a little less grumpy… about to run out and grab some form of caffeine or maybe just something carbonated but in general, annoyingly cranky for no reason whatsoever.. and that gets me even more annoyed!
