Grumpy

The choices for today are: (1) graphic design, (2) grumpy, (3) ginger. The chosen word is grumpy.

I don't want to say I'm naturally grumpy but I am a moody person. And if I'm not moody, I'm sort of indifference or at least I pretend to be. Why do people assume a person have to be happy to be, well, happy? It's good to feel good but we can't be in a good mood all the time. When I'm in a bad mood, it takes me awhile to get out of my grumpiness. Sometimes I don't want to think at all so I watch youtube or do something that didn't require too much brain power. My mind needs relaxation or at least, some distraction from thinking the bad things that make me grumpy.

What do you do when you're grumpy?

For tomorrow, the letter H, the choices are (1) headphones, (2) hello, (3) hate. Choose which word I might ramble about or tell a story.

  7. I usually talk it out rationally and then try to move on. But that doesn't always work, so I try to warn the people around me.

    1. Live and Learn: It's good to talk it out. But also good to let people know you're not in the mood to be nice.

  8. I don't think I'm grumpy but I do tend to be overly serious and when I'm concentrating on doing something, don't appreciate interruptions. That's when hubby calls me grumpy. LOL!

    1. Donna: I don't like interruptions when I'm doing something as well. So if I get a little testy when people interrupt, I think it's perfectly reasonable.

      Thank you for coming by. Have a lovely day.

  9. I'm usually grumpy when I'm hungry. The boyfriend has learned to make sure I've been fed if we're out and about.

    1. Anne M Bray: That's me too. Hungry has a way of making a person less cordial. Isn't that where the expression hangry came from?
