Crabby Appleton . . .

This doesn't happen to me very often, but yesterday and today combined in the perfect storm of one infuriating thing after another, and about the only good thing I can say at the moment is that I didn't use a ton of food to calm myself down.

When I was little, there was a cartoon with a character Crabby Appleton.  This is a name that everyone in my family has used for ever whenever anyone is crabby.   Skip to 3:02 and you'll meet him!



I wrote to a friend today that I absolutely felt like Taurus the Bull with a red flag waving in my face at every turn.  Holy Mother of GOD I was crabby all fricking day LONG.

I even did a relaxation meditation during my lunch hour in an attempt to calm myself down.  It helped.  A little.

I have some shrimp defrosting and I'm about to saute them and have them for dinner.  I'm not answering the phone tonight.  Talk amongst yourselves and take a trip back to the 70s on me and on this rockin' base line.  I'll be back tomorrow when I'm not so crabby.

We all have those days. We let things go, they build up and then all of sudden we need a release. Crankiness appears. You're not cranky ALL the time. Your sense of humor does step in and save you. Something will make you smile and you'll forget what a Crabby Appletree you've been.

And congrats on losing weight. Keep up the good work!!

Thanks you guys!

In truth, I'm very very rarely that crabby. I have the good fortune to actually know when I'm crabby, so at least I can warn people :-D
