Sometimes I'm....

Crabby

That was the word for the day.

I was thinking that they get a bad rap, 

but if you look closely this crab does look grouchy.

According to "The Word Detective":

In both “crabby” and “crabbed,” the analogy is to a crab’s tendency to painfully nip with its claws and tenaciously hold on, as well as its tendency to walk backwards and sideways, making it an excellent metaphor for a difficult, uncooperative person. (This, of course, is not entirely fair to crabs, many of which probably have wonderful personalities and, should they one day take over the planet, will no doubt remember I said that.)

Day 3 of retirement.

I was crabby

I know that some people who know me think that I never get crabby.

ask Marlene.

Anyway, I got over it.

Interesting though, (strange coincidence? karma?) that night I happened to see an old episode of the "King of Queens" (guess they're all old episodes since the show has been out of production for years) where Doug was "out of sorts" because he had been on strike for a couple of weeks and he didn't know what to do with his time.

....not the case yet.

Most likely I was crabby because we had to deal with the nursing home where Marlene's aunt lives. 

I hope that I never have to go into a nursing home!
