If you are ever grumpy, and you see a sign like this, no matter what, it will make you laugh. This happened to me when I was stuck in traffic. I had not budged for 20 minutes (literally - not an inch). My previously silent and diminutive Chinese driver erupted in a sudden flurry of odd and misinterpreted profanity - that itself should have made me laugh. I sighed and looked out the window. To this.

I am grumpy this morning. So far the billboard isn't helping. I guess one has to see it in person. Maybe because it was hot in my bedroom last night. Maybe because I have work to do today. Maybe because I am lonely. Or maybe it's because I am as big a house. Yeah, I think that could be it. Grrr. I am trying to be positive today and internalize all the good wishes from y'all. I sliced cucumbers at dawn, put cabbage slabs into little baggies to lunches so I don't screw up this week. All the time I was painfully aware that Sunday mornings are for brunch, a sweetheart, and a newspaper. None of which I currently have.

I am going to figure this out. I am just going to keep going. Finish the kitchen, hit the gym, do my work. I don't have to be a deliriously happy glowing joyball every day. An old friend used to tell me "It's not always Christmas." No kidding.

I pooted.
