\"\"He’s a model citizen
\nI think I’ve got them fooled them again
\nHe’s an ultra-sweety guy
\nAnd a master of disguise
\nHe’s a model citizen
\nJust keep believing that my friends
\nI’m a model citizen<\/p>\n

Yeah, my new tag line.\u00a0 That’s been me today, an ultra sweetie guy.\u00a0 Take today, for example.\u00a0 I woke up at 11:45.\u00a0 And I was grumpy.\u00a0 Extremely grumpy.\u00a0 Ultra grumpy.\u00a0 Not at anything or anyone in particular, just grumpy.\u00a0 And the day just went like that.\u00a0 Dropping things.\u00a0 The bark-a-billy dog not wanting to come in so I had to chase his ass down with a leash to bring him in the house.\u00a0 Canceling a trip out because I knew people and I would not mix well today.\u00a0 Things like that.\u00a0 I haven’t been mean or testy, I think, but I haven’t been my usual cute and cuddly, either.\u00a0 Nothing went wrong, per se, but nothing really went right, either.\u00a0 You ever have days like that?<\/p>\n

So what does a grumpy person do during a day-long grump-fest?<\/p>\n

Me?\u00a0 I stay grumpy.\u00a0 (Farley’s even grumpy with Roscoe as I write this, it’s catchy.)\u00a0 I did some things, got some stuff done.\u00a0 The day wasn’t a total waste, but in a weird strange way I’m actually looking forward to going back to work tomorrow.\u00a0 I usually wish weekends were always three or four days, but this one two days was enough.\u00a0 It’s felt all… disjointed.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow will be normal.\u00a0 Thankfully.\u00a0 Hopefully. Be careful what you wish for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
