Grump.

[truepenny]

I am grumpy today. Because:

1. As of three days ago, I'm not dripping blood from an unmentionable orifice any longer, but I am continuing to have sporadic cramps. (Not, I hasten to add, particularly BAD cramps, although we're definitely past ow and into Ow!.) Considering that the cramps are the REASON I'm putting myself through this varied and exciting hell, I find the irony less than amusing.

2. Laundry. It had to be done before the laundry shoggoth got ambitious and ate a cat, but nobody can make me be gracious about it. On the plus side, I have yet again not killed myself going down the basement stairs with a full laundry basket.

3. I am one of those incredibly annoying people who get all pedantic and fussy about how the decade doesn't end with 2009. It ends with 2010. I realize that I'm being annoying, pedantic, and irredeemably fussy--but that only adds to my grumpiness.

(GUILDENSTERN: Let it go.
ROSENCRANTZ: But it's wrong!
GUILDENSTERN: I know. Believe me. Let. It. Go.
ROSENCRANTZ: But--!
[Guildenstern commences to beat Rosencrantz about the head and ears with a pillow]
ROSENCRANTZ: [muffled but defiant] It's still wrong!)

4. The goblin book is stuck. Yes, with a month to deadline. I'm fairly confident I'll get unstuck quickly, but that doesn't, unfortunately, do much for the part wherein I am stuck and I hate it.

5. The credit card statement came today. 'Nuff said.

When all the media seem to think that the decade ends now, and not in 12 months' time, it makes me so, so annoyed. The 20th century was 100 years long - it did not end in 1999. GRRR!

I'm hoping that 2010, the last year of the first decade of the 21st century, is kinder than the previous 9!
