Grrr

I’m in a bad mood today. I don’t know why. Things that I usually blow off are supremely infuriating, and things that usually make me laugh are simply annoying. I have a million things at work being thrown my way and under normal circumstances, I would field everything as it comes and keep plowing forward, but today it’s all just piling up and I can’t seem to make headway on anything. Plus the day’s dragging and all I want to do is jump in my car and leave.

Most of you will say “go work out it’ll make you feel better.”

Maybe that’s true, but if the gym’s too crowded or parking is difficult, I’m almost afraid that I won’t be able to control my impulse to throttle someone. Which would be bad. And I don’t really want to go home and be snarky with my husband – he doesn’t deserve that. He hasn’t done anything. I’m just in a bad mood.

Maybe I’ll blow off the gym and go shopping. I don’t actually have to buy anything – just walking around and having mindless visual stimulation, plus doing a little bit of brisk walking without having to deal with the truly awful gym hip-hop soundtrack or the guys that leave a lake of sweat behind on the machines might do me some good.

I also have a Hollywood networking thingie to go to tomorrow night – but the darn thing doesn’t start until 10pm. On a school night. Who thought of that? I should go – it’s a good opportunity to schmooze and get my name & face in front of some voiceover and acting agents and managers… but it’s just so darn late. I sincerely hope my lousy mood improves by tomorrow so I will be in a better frame of mind. If not, I’ll end up going and sitting in some corner with a snarl on my face and growl at anyone who might come up and try and talk to me. Then I’ll leave at 10:37 and drive the 20 miles home, grumbling and disappointed, chain smoking all the way.

But for today, I just have to make it until 5:30…
