Monday is a very long day for me working at the library. I work ten hours on Mondays, which is pretty challenging to begin with. Unfortunately today I also got to work and found myself CRANKY. So it was a double whammy.
Everything was irritating.
Nothing seemed to go my way. Everything bugged me.
I was a mess.
Cranky cranky cranky cranky.
This went on for several hours.
I tried to take a lot of deep breaths.
I tried to delight in the little things.
"What little things?" You ask.
I don't know. They were too little to see!
Eventually, I decided that maybe I was simply hungry. All I had to eat was a nearly endless supply of spinach. So, trying to delight in the little things, I cooked a gigantic box of spinach. It was so much spinach I had to sort of feed the spinach into my skillet in stages as it cooked down. Finally, I got all the spinach into the skillet and when I finished cooking it I had several forkfuls of spinach!
Which is a lot for cooked spinach!
My co-workers made lots of Popeye jokes.
"You are going to be so strong after you eat that spinach!" They said.
Well, strong is better than cranky!
I ate all the spinach.
Was I still cranky?
I was still cranky.
But now I was strong enough to pretend I wasn't.
Which is half the battle.

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.
I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!
One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
