moods...

being in a bad mood sucks. i woke up today with a severe case of the mondays. the weather sucked [all cloudy and misty out], it was monday, another fun weekend ended, another fun weekend was days away, and i was just plain tired. it didn't really go away and i didn't get much done at the office [prompting me to leave a little early just because i knew there was no point staying].

while i was in this funky mood of grouchiness i realized 2 things...

1. it was national grouch day [at least in canada]

2. i could easily move myself out of the grouchy mood with just a little bit of effort

as for #2, i really think it's possible to alter your mood and that moods are about your mindset and attitude and outlook. sometimes that's obviously not the case but i think when it's that bad it's not really a bad mood but actually something provides a reason for u to feel down. but when u're just in a funked out mood i believe u can get out of it if u really put in the effort [which might not be all that much in the end].

did i do so today? not really. i kinda just relished in grouchiness. going to McDonald's for lunch was fun and helped [altho getting the exact same pair of monopoly pieces on my fries and drink was the ultimate in lame]. taking a little nap when i got home also was enjoyable and the evening at home was pleasant.

i don't know why i just sat there in a funk today. in part i just wanted to stay in the mood or more accurately i didn't feel like putting in any effort. it's not really how i roll but today i made an exception. haha. anyway, my brief thoughts for the nite...tomorrow is another day and a chance to be more productive...but that will involve some sleep...
