waking up grumpy

There was a morning in May a couple of years ago when I woke up and Mr absent cheerfully said "Happy Birthday, to which I responded, "No, it isn't". Oh dear!

Are you talking about waking up and the only things that you can think of are the irritations of life? I feel like that this morning - nothing major wrong but nothing is completely 'right'. I've felt like it for about the past week and I want it to stop!

I hope you feel better soon soutra . I have always snapped out of it fairly quickly!

Happens to me quite regularly and then don't want to get up at all and it is a struggle throughout the day. Also find I can wake up feeling scared for no apparent reason.

Sorry Soutra I forgot to say I hope your day improves

You could have a cold coming. Being a bit out of sorts can make you feel like that.

Hope it's just a passing mood though.

Hope you feel better soon. Is there an underlying issue which is causing this?

I head for the greenhouse with my little portable radio. DH is SO noisy it makes any grumpy mood far worse.

Hope you have today, Soutra. It always helps.

I throw myself into cleaning when in that mood - just off to do battle right now. I tend to throw things about and shout - it helps considerably. Hope you are feeling in better sorts today Soutra?

Hope today starts off better for you, Soutra. Most mornings I wake up with a 'fearful' feeling - much like DebnCreme, but that's merely a bad habit of mine, and one that is difficult to change (especially first thing in the morning). Sometimes, it's a good thing to have something to focus on (cleaning ?....er, well, perhaps not ) but just deciding to go somewhere that day - and going, does make a bit of a difference for me.

Thank you! Woke up to glorious and expecting DD and DGSs later this morinng - oh and a text " T..... has chickenpox can we still come?"(yes) and "might need a day of T...sitting next week" Problems? Moi? Nope!!

Keep your pecker up Chuck

I never wake up grumpy, I am always bright, cheerful and a delight to be with

And you are so modest about it too, Harrigran !

Modest moi ?

I am feeling grumpy today, and should throw myself into cleaning but the thought is making me feel even more grumpy.
Hey ho, off we go with a duster and vacuum cleaner

Yes that happens to me sometimes and cleaning would make me feel worse! I never do things I hate when I am a bit down. Retail therapy usually does the trick for me. Even if it is just a new lipstick.
On the other hand does anyone wake up sometimes feeling really really happy and cheerful? Maybe we are all a bit bi polar.
I woke up feeling really happy this morning and was in the mood for cleaning the bathroom. It is sunny out and we are just off to the beach for a cup of tea and read the papers sitting outside of the cafe. Little pleasures but uplifting.

And I know I am lucky to be able to do that with a partner, but when I have been on my own I still find it uplifting as I always manage to find someone to talk to.

That sounds lovely, storynanny! However, the nearest beach is too far from here and the cleaning has to be done. I will be with you in spirit.

It is only a strip of shingle coastline facing the IOW, not touristy at all and no sand. But I feel lucky to live 5 minutes away and try to go every day. I think the sea air uplifts spirits even in Winter.
If I were rich I would buy a beach hut here and almost live in it.

I also woke up feeling happy because I am not on supply teaching this week until Friday morning and I won't be answering my phone for any last minute bookings! So I feel like I am on Easter holiday already. I won't think too much about the fact that it also means I will not be earning anything for 3 weeks!

I am NOT a morning person

I know you feel down sometimes Galen but your posts usually lift me because you don't take yourself too seriously!

In fact, most of us don't take ourselves too seriously, which I love!

I am still feeling a bit down so the weeds are going to get it!!

This is a bit strange, because I feel very grumpy today as well!No reason at all for it, and slept very well last night. Nice sunny day too. DH is gardening and stuck his head around door and asked for cup of tea to which I said ' NO!' I'm not all that busy either, so it was a bit mean really.
Haven't felt completely well all week though, [DH had a bit of man flu] and now I have slight sore throat, and feel tired.Oh well, we all have our off days don't we? Soutra

Maybe it's the moon or something. I'm generally quite upbeat so don't know why I have days of feeling really evil!!

Bet you are feeling better soutra - have a lovely time.
