Don't make me grumpy.. you wouldn't like me when I'm grumpy.

I'm sitting here in my living room, irritated. I went to bed last night, wanting to sleep as long as I wanted, and wake up with a clean slate. Get rid of the irritation of yesterday, and allow today to be what it was. Instead, I woke up with the same irritability and frustration

All of those things are enough to make a girl grumpy! I had the strangest experience today of breaking down in tears at absolutely nothing. I mean, nothing that would normally rattle me to that extent. I gesticulated at the wrong time and the waitress spilled a few drops of orange juice. Before that, the parking meter failed to print out a receipt. Before that. I almost caused a trail accident with 5 bicyclists when I made a stupid rollerblader move. All of these things just made the pressure valve blow. I realized, as I was breaking down in the middle of a friend's breakfast brunch, that while there was no one thing that I could blame for my tears, the cumulative pressure was lurking underneath, and the orange juice was just the proverbial straw. So while seeming reasonless, my dear, you have been under intense pressure for months and months. New homes, a breakup, surgery, surgery #2, cat health issues, work challenges... All of these things are manageable in small quantities. All together? They require some tears and grumpiness
