Outlook

I'm cranky today. It happens from time to time, but not often enough that I know how to manage when it hits me. As a result I've been out of sorts all day. Normally I patiently overlook the neighbors' dog poop on the front lawn, the late mail (dated Aug 18, arrived today), and the hair that falls in my eyes. Not today. And nothing has improved my mood either. Not the tasty chocolate ding dong I ate this afternoon, not the sheepish grin and wave of the man who good naturedly cut me off on the way home. And most sadly of all, not even the music that has enthralled me for the last week (thank you Neko and Emiliana for trying). I'd like to think that those with whom I have interacted today noticed a difference from the usual, but it's possible that any perceived change in demeanor was purely in my head. I can only hope that my dreariness and lack of feeling efficacious is negatively correlated to David's success on his presentation. That could make me happy.

Update: Crankiness turned out to be indicator of looming physical illness. Note to self when cranky again--stay home and avoid people.
