A Grump

Today I'm a grump.

(A great way to break my hiatus, start out with a story about how I'm a grump today)

A time ago a man told me to "remember who you're grumpy at, Bird". This was after I had asked him why he was never grumpy. "Well Bird" he said, "you have to remember ..."

Then I smirked the way late teens smirk when they hear something they know is profound yet don't quite understand what is profound about it. That something may not be entirely, or specifically, profound at all, merely a neat observation, but I'd smirk all the same since it was the reaction I knew best and was quite good at it.

A guy at the site today said to me "Bird", he said "Bird, why are you so grumpy today. I like it when you come to site cause you're usually cheerie. Not today, today you're a grump."

"I am", I said, "I know. I'm trying not to be."

I'll fix my attitude right now. I'll write it down to get it out of my system, then post it two weeks later.
