Grumpy Challengers
I'm going to kick this off. I'm grumpy right now because it's 2am, I have a pretty busy day tomorrow - well, later today in fact - and I can NOT sleep!
Bring on the hugs :(

Here's your hug. I hate when that happens!
Thank you :) - See, it worked - I'm smiling already!
Aww - thank you :) So cute.
Well today has started out just fantastic. Opened a new packet of chopped nuts to sprinkle on my breakfast, fumbled the packet and dropped the whole lot all over the floor, got down on my hands and knees to clean up, put my knee straight on a (very sharp) piece of nut, stood up - banged my head on the cupboard door I'd stupidly left open, and discovered one of my cats eating my yoghurt... Back to bed?
ok, I just love this thread - I'm very sorry for your start in the day, Caroline, but you made my grumpyness vanish for a bit with your story (my cats would totally do the same)
I'm not particulary grumpy because of one specific event, it's just friday, still two hours (feel like 10) to go before the weekend after a week where everybody felt tired and not very motivated at all all the time long, and after a hot and full-packed with people ride with the train I have to go to the also full-packed shopping center... I don't need hugs, just give me a sun-chair at the lake!

Sorry to laugh at your stories, Caroline and Rosa, but I just had to giggle a little. But I was laughing WITH you, not AT you! Hope you're having a better week this week!

Feel free to laugh. I don't mind my bad day making someone else smile! I haven't had my breakfast stolen (yet) this week so it's looking good : )

That is true. Keep your fingers crossed for me :)

I love my kindle, but when it decides to reset itself when I'm in the middle of reading (like right now) I could just throw it across the room!
I hope you can easily get back to where you were, Caroline. What type of Kindle do you have?

It took absolutely ages to reset itself - maybe I should stop filling it up with freebies! It's a fairly old model I think, not a Paperwhite or Fire.

It really does. So frustrating!

I have hundreds of freebies on my paperwhite, but I save most of them to the cloud so it (theoretically) takes up less space.

That's probably a good idea - my kindle is overflowing with freebies! I can not resist a free book.

My teabag burst in my mug and I didn't realise until I got a mouthful of tea leaves. Urgh...

Yuk :-(
I was having a lovely dream involving Johnny Depp (in his Captain Jack days - I'll spare you the details) and someone's car alarm went off... :(

It put me in a sulk for the rest of the day I can tell you! But I'm better today :)

Me and four coworkers got laid off for lunch.
That really does suck. Sorry to hear that PepperPot.

It is really hot here...and i really want to be outside and eeading because its sooo nice and snow is going to come and then i am going to be grumpy cause its too cold...just wish we can get a break feom this heatwave so i can read outside without sweating buckets
Can you go to the beach or a pool? Then you can lie beside it with your audiobook.
I've cut myself pretty bad today :/
I've wanted to put clean glasses away at work, small but thick ones we use for the give-away water with every coffee, and while I want to put them on the shelf, they started falling, I tried to catch, one broke, and because I was trying to catch it I stabbed me in the hand with a big shard of it - in the wirst, right under the carpal bone. The wound is pretty deep - I only looked at it for a short time, there was not so much blood, but something yellow, pus-looking was coming out and I think I would have gone down if I had looked any longer (and I was alone, of course)
I'm looking like I've tried to slash my wrists, and even writing on the computer hurts because of the location...
I'm not happy.

Oh no Rosa! Have you had it looked at by a doctor or hospital?
Caroline wrote: "Oh no Rosa! Have you had it looked at by a doctor or hospital?"
no... I don't think it needs stitches because it's more deep than long, and I won't wait three hours or more in the hospital for a band-aid.
(But maybe I'll give myself a self-prescription for a glass of wine in the evening before I take a shower and need to look at it again :/ )

Wow, that sounds pretty serious, Rosa. I hope you're OK. (And the wine sounds like a good idea.)
Like the idea of the wine self-prescription :) Hope it feels better soon.
thank you!
the wine was a great idea. wine and jelly-chocolates.
you know what's best? tomorrow night we go on vacation. bet the seawater is going to feel great on this hand..
but, on the positive: there's always more wine :D

Wrap it in a big bandage then tie a plastic bag over it! And definitely keep drinking the wine ;)
Have a great vacation!!

I just spent the last 2 hours in the dentist's chair getting impressions for a crown to fix a cracked tooth. Now I'm at work with a numb mouth. Definitely grumpy...well, except that I can spend some quality time on GR for a few minutes.
Poor you Connie. I hate the dentist!

Oh how I know this feeling...

I'm just feeling generally irritated today. By everything :(
Teenage daughters can be trouble, that's for sure, JoAnne. Luckily our daughters are 27 and 32. We're through the bad years. Best wishes in dealing with yours!
We all have bad days - maybe your car won't start, your hair won't do as it's told, you stubbed your toe or your favourite character got killed off?
Whatever's making you grumpy share it with us and maybe we can cheer you up. With a virtual hug or something.
