The Grump

The Grump

posted in Life in LA, The Kitchen Sink |

My friends and I call our friend DJS (whom I adore – just in case you’re reading this DJS!) “The Grump” sometimes.  When he’s tired, you can almost see the clouds forming over his head and the mope lines settle across his face.

I’ve been feeling a bit like The Grump the last week or so.  I’m normally a very upbeat person, I fear irritatingly so sometimes.  For the last several months, I’ve surprised even myself by bounding out of bed at six every morning excited about going to the gym.  This morning, I had to drag myself out of bed and only managed to do so after a very stern talking to.

The Frog thinks it might be the weather.  It’s been abnormally cold for Los Angeles and I think I’m suffering from a bit of seasonal depression, which is extremely odd because (a) it hasn’t been that bad, (b) it hasn’t been “bad” for long, (c) there have been several really nice days between the “bad” days, and (d) (as the Frog astutely pointed out), I freaking lived in Boston – aka Bad Weather, USA – for three years and was (relatively) fine.

You know you’re a spoiled Californian when…

    I like this post. Of course, it sounds awfully similar to an email exchange from earlier today… ; ) I also love that you mention our little grumpy DJS.

    P.S. I never thought I’d come to be associated with a reptile. But at least I’m one that people often consider cute enough to try and catch.

    You’ve caught me ML – I really just cut and paste email exchanges and pretend I’ve written real posts. =) It’s like I’m plagerizing from myself! And I never thought I’d be associated with napping…I joke, I joke…I fully realize the association has always been every evident. =)

    Ah, you should see the weather up North. It’s rained 22 days this month, and March isn’t even over yet.

    You know you’re a spoiled Californian when…you willingly wait 5 min for the car 2 spaces ahead of the spot you already found to leave just so you can get a closer spot so you don’t have to walk as far. (How’s that for a run-on sentence?)
