*GROWL*

Yesterday sucked – not for any major, horrible, life-shattering reason, but simply due to a few little things that accumulated. By the time Coffee got home after work I was in a snarly mood and it had only slightly dissipated by the time we went to bed.

This morning, on waking, I decided that I’d simply put my mind toward being in a good mood. Breathe-in…breathe-out… and let it all slide off of me. I can do that!

So far, however, the rest of the world is not cooperating with my desire to be zen about the day.

It started with Daisy being a jackass, then Coffee left without doing a minor task for me (which I didn’t notice until it was majorly inconvenient for me – still not the end of the world, however) but then the beagle turned into an asshole, then I couldn’t get music playing and then the mailman totally skipped by our house.

Did I mention that I’m pretty sure my ulcer is back again? So I’m also not feeling very well and I’m on the cusp of PMS and I’ve got a headache.

Then I got an email from Coffee that made me cry (because it made me feel both stupid AND a jerk) and that was kind of the beginning of the end. (And, making it even MORE FUN? I can’t seem to STOP weeping now that I’ve started.. Pretty!)

It’s not even 11am and already everything I’ve touched has kind of crapped on me. THAT’S NOT FAIR!

I’ve decided to revise my plan of “being zen” and, instead, simply avoid all contact with humans. Possibly avoid all contact with dogs, too, if I can convince them to walk themselves and pick up their own poop. Because, um, picking up poop is probably not going to improve my mood in the slightest today.

Stupid bad mood.
