Morphing into a grumoy old woman?

And can't even flippin well spell grumpy correctly! ...

You can spell it imperfect but I have visions of your enraged stabbings at the key pad
One thing that's got my goat is being awake since 5 am.

If you had asked me yesterday I could have filled a book, Imperfect! Ask me again when I have had seven people flitting in and out of my kitchen wanting to talk to me while I am trying to cook a Sunday lunch, and then spent the afternoon looking at my son's thousands of recent holiday photographs and I will probably be able to fill another one!! My default setting is grumpy these days.?

Punctuation also out of the window today though nina ... may just have something to do with a late night glass of red, or two (too) ...

It is the default bit that worries me Greyduster LOL.

I think we all need a holiday - or in the case of those who have already had a holiday, another holiday!!

I was caught shouting at the tin opener..."for gods sake just work, it's your only job" the other day which was also a wrong side of bed day!

Hope you enjoyed your day yesterday though imperfect I was telling theatre designer DD about the 3 + hours length of the play and she winced.
Was it a London pre-Edinburgh production?

My son laughed at me the other day and said how angry I was....no I am not angry...the rest of the worl is just getting so stupid! So many people need to sharpen up and get on with life, the country seems to whinge and whine and expect so much. Me oh no I'm not angry...this morning I am hopping!

Mawbroon it was very good, thank you. I will send you info on PM as I am not sure if GN would allow me to post a link here.

Yesterday was, well, the grumpiest day I can recall. I spent most of it trying to zip the lip so I didn't upset other folk. Flipping strain. I sort of wish I had let rip, Yelling at the tin opener might have helped, but yelling at people would have done more harm than good. Right now I'm sitting in bed looking out at pouring rain and feel almost cheerful. Odd ? Me? Who'd have guessed it . Maybe I'll risk getting up in a minute and hope the almost cheerful lasts.

Social media posters sniping at friends doing a voluntary job, why can't they air their grievances face to face grrr

I woke up grumpy knowing my faithful sixteen year old dishwasher gave up the ghost yesterday. Visitors arriving on Wednesday so I will remain grumpy until the new one turns up.

DH doesn't 'do' dishwashers. He refers to it as the white elephant where I store dirty dishes

He rarely washes up

I've been having dreadful problems with my Internet provider for weeks and weeks and it's driven me to realms of frustration and grumpiness I didn't know existed. Connection just drops or disappears altogether for hours,and sometimes days, at a time. And it's been going on for WEEKS! But then.... it lulls me into a false sense of security by "working" for extended periods of maybe 2 or 3 days and my optimism rises that, finally, we're sorted and everything is back up and running. And then it vanishes for another day. I've given up even calling their "customer services", but I appreciate the opportunity to vent here, thank you. stomps off, eyeing the hub accusingly

I am pretty grumpy at present, painful shoulder means I have to ask for help with reaching for things and even dressing on some days.

I get those days to, it's age.....

Take it easy, Harri. Hope it will ease soon.

I was born a grumpy old woman and have almost perfected my technique.

Please can I join this group of grumpy women because I am very definitely one! I have been on medication for cancer for 3yrs and it puts me into permanent menopause - so really grumpy. Insomnia and repeated hot flushes. Last night near neighbours had a noisy party that didn't finally quieten down until after 4.00am. When I see them my grumpiness is definitely going to need to be expressed or I will explode!

I ought to say to explain my real reason for grumpiness is that this week my oncologist told me that he wanted me to continue with the tablets for another 7yrs not another 2 as I had originally been told............ Aaaaaaaaaaarrrrgh.

I am more sad than grumpy, having discovered in a journal yesterday that a dear friend had died two months ago. There was no-one to tell me as her son, her only child, had tragically predeceased her three months before. It has just made everything seem rather grey and hopeless this weekend but it will pass. And then I'll go back to being annoyed by little things.

radicalnan perhaps you were but you've made me laugh this morning
?

harrigran oooo I've got shoulder problem too diagnosed as needing rotator cuff repair. It's so painful doing most everyday stuff ..... Makes me grumpy too

Oh dear, maybe I shouldn't post on this thread! Me, I am fine, had the best sleep in years. Woke at 10 to seven, last time I slept that long was in DD1's house in Nuneaton in the early noughties. We have a very lazy day ahead, easy lunch planned, the sun is shining and so far every bit of equipment turned on has worked. The cats were happy with their breakfast, one of them will not shut up if she doesn't like what's on offer, is there a cat silencing device available which causes no harm to said cat? Even planning to start the packing for a few days away soon. Seemed the ideal time to book, DH's lung condition is stable, his THR is wonderful and even the labyrinthitis is easing. Do hope your days get better, I am going to relish this time until something leaps up to bite me on the bum and change everything.

So sorry to hear that you are all feeling grumpy! May I join you?
I looked after DGD age three yesterday, and we had a lovely time baking, making dolls clothes, playdoh, and all sorts of other things dear to a toddler's heart. Much later than agreed, DD swans in after a nice relaxing day out, and says "Oh God - I don't know how you can live in this constant mess!"
She totally ignored the fact that my home had been pristine when she had dropped off DGD.
I must admit that my 'grumpometer ' went right off the scale, but I gritted my teeth and said nothing as DD is heavily pregnant and suffers with OCD.
I prefer to spend my time with little one doing fun things, the tidying up can wait. In fact I was so knackered that's it's waited until this morning, and now the sight of all the chaos has given me another grumpy attack.
