Annoyed for no reason

[susandennis]

I have the best life. Really. I have all the creature comforts. I have the history of a rich, fulfilled life. I really have no bucket list as I've done all of the things I wanted to do. My days are my own to do with as I please. And I'm aware and as grateful as I could possibly be and work hard to wallow in every moment.

So... when I wake up annoyed for no good reason, that really pisses me off.

Seriously, what right do I have to even think of getting up on the wrong side of the bed?? So this morning my job is to fix my attitude. I have no right to be cranky so I need to not be.

I think maybe some of it can be attributed to stuff out and mess. I have the crochet pieces all over and the tiny room stuff out and the UW homework undone and just mess. I want less mess.

So the first order of business today is to put shit away. The tiny stuff is going into the closet. The UW homework will be finished and put into the mail. The quilt stuff will be finished enough to be once again contained in the crochet basket by the end of today. And the other extra messes will be tidied up. Including the crap out that I had to get out for the laundry center install that is just tossed on the deck.

Ok, now I feel better. Now that I have a plan.

Sometime this week, maybe even today. I am going to Hobby Lobby. I have avoided Hobby Lobby forever mainly because of the company's politics. But, also because it is not handy or convenient. And, lately, very inconvenient with all the road closures and traffic issues.

But, now I can use the new tunnel to get there and I am going to just go see. I hate with good stuff (I'm looking at you Chick-Fil-A) has belief systems that are the antithesis of mine. But, I've enjoyed the occasional chicken sandwich and I am going to allow myself a visit to Hobby Lobby.

But not before I get this place in shape. On it.

I hope your mood improves

Same on Hobby Lobby. Fortunately, I have yet to discover anything I need that I cannot get at either Michael's or Joann's. There's not one store that's the equivalent, but between those two, I'm generally covered.

What I really hate is that it's getting so hard to find a decent fabric store anymore. Joann's has some, and some Walmarts, do, but it's mostly crafty-fabric and not fabric-fabric.

One of the things I'm desperately hoping to find at Hobby Lobby is that there is really nothing there that I can't get other places. But, until I go, I can't be sure.

And yes on the fabric fabric!! We even have another local chain fabric store who's selection and quality is between Walmart and Joanne's but who's prices are way above Joanne's. UGH!

if you want to quilt, no sweat. But if you want clothes - knits in colors other than black and gray, spandex for swimsuits in any prints - you are SOL. That's actually why I have such a stupid big fabric stash. If I ever see anything decent I buy it whether I have a project or not.

I’m nowhere near the sewer you are, and even I cried big, fat tears when our Hancock store went out of business.

Hey, it is normal to wake up crabby! I do it all the time :D. And it is this period of end-of-winter where our happiness reserves tend to run out, so, totally normal!

[susandennis]

It is certainly not my normal! Plus, I'm a winter lover and a summer hater so...

But, seriously, I refuse to accept a bad mood when there is no reason. I chose to be happy and work at it, mostly successfully, every day.

I tend to see it as a chemical reaction.. at this point in the year, I don't have enough serotonine in my brain due to having too few light and air and whatnot! My answer to this is chocolate...lots of serotonine in that :D
