A grumpy, maudlin mood. I figured if I documented it and vented or whatever the hell I need here then maybe it would go away. I hate putting on my game face for work. When I&#8217;m here I&#8217;d rather just be myself, but today I need the game face, the fake office laugh, and the hope that since I sit behind a wall tucked in the corner, no one will bother me much. I might put on my headphones and tune out the world for the day.<\/p>\n<p>Hate feeling like this. There are various reasons for it, most of which I&#8217;m aware of but am not going to blog about. It&#8217;s enough that I know why I&#8217;m in this mood. I&#8217;ve had about three hours of sleep so I&#8217;m sure that isn&#8217;t helping any. But if you acknowledge the Mood, hopefully it goes away. <\/p>\n<p>I let Shannon take the car to school today. I figured if she does that a couple days a week it might save on some gas. Of course it means I&#8217;m stuck at work for the full day and have to bring a lunch, but I can deal. She was very excited about it. I remember that feeling \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>But that&#8217;s not the reason for the moodiness. Been feeling it all weekend and tried to stave it off by reading fanfic (Oh sod off. Some fanfic is actually pretty good \ud83d\ude42 ) and watching Angel with the kid all weekend. Mindless entertainment you know? Keep the brain busy so it doesn&#8217;t have time to dwell on stuff. It&#8217;s an old trick of mine. Worked for the most part. But sometimes it&#8217;s hard to keep it together. But this will pass. My favourite saying is &#8216;Someday this will all be twenty years ago&#8217; and oddly enough, knowing that helps. <\/p>\n<p>So enough of the whiny angst mode. I&#8217;ve got a lot of work to do, coffee to drink, some tunes to play and someone brought a bag of fresh cucumbers and tomatoes for the taking. Yum!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m in a mood. A grumpy, maudlin mood.
