grumpy

I'm grumpy today. This is due to some combination of:

* The US men went 0-2 yesterday in curling, including snatching defeat from the jaws of victory on the last stone of the match
* Joline left about 2 days ago
* I always get grumpy this time of year; probably SAD (and the below-average weather and the snow still everywhere doesn't help)
* I'm out of girl scout cookies
* I'm stressed about Purim and Pesach
* My anal attention to detail and caring about things that I should just let go is flaring up again (though this is probably a symptom rather than a reason)
* Work and other things that I don't want to air here

Reasons don't include:

* Megabus is adding the Philly-to-DC route!
* Southwest is adding the PHL-to-BOS route!
* [livejournal.com profile] curlybopbop and [livejournal.com profile] groovyjew are visiting this weekend!
* Curling is happening, and televised, at all!
* There are more girl scout cookies to be had!
* Joline was here!
* Pitchers and catchers report today! Happy Spring!

Too bad emotions don't work like a simple pro-con list, because if they did, the second column would be at least tied with the first. Oh well. Time to blind my coworkers with the lamp that I'm pretending is a light box...

I have a long documented history of serious introversion and malaise in February, despite my dating anniversary splitting the month. A glance at Ck or old emails shows this is always a month I cancel social engagements and play a new video game through to completion.

I can totally understand being upset about the lack of girl scout cookies. You should go out and get yourself a stock to hold you til spring!

where are these girl scout cookies?!

I second the more girl scout cookies, but how can I get some too? I think those would definitely help me get over this end of winter hump. Mmm... frozen Thin Mints!

I usually get mine from two major sources:

- Parents/relatives hitting you up at work
- Booths outside grocery stores or in major commuter areas

Also, I used to be a girl scout, so my former troop leader is always a back up plan if these two don't work out, haha. I hope you find some soon! Girl Scout cookie withdrawal is the worst.
