Lately I have taken to pretend punching my dog in the face. (PRETEND.) He always acts super offended and barks at me, jumping up and trying to bite my hand off. I am comforted by the fact that if anybody actually tries to punch my dog in the face, he will know what to do.
I've been in a foul mood, generally speaking, for a week or so. I thought it sprung from changing my sleeping pattern from ambitious waking-up-at-7-am-in-case-of-TOC-call to a more realistic waking-up-at-8-am-because-I-am-not-nuts. The line between cheerful and grouchy may lie betwixt those morning hours. However, now I am worried that my sleeping pills are altering my moods and I'm going to turn in to a serial killer. I've exhausted (pun) all other natural sleep aids, and my doctor said these are okay - he said I could take three, and I only take one. Probably I should be fine. But if you see me with a murderous glint in my eye, please remove all weaponry from the vicinity and escort me to the doctor. (Thanks in advance.) In the meantime, I will perhaps compromise with myself and aim for a 7:30am awakening and see if that has any affect* on things.
(*I googled it: affect = a verb meaning "to influence;" effect = a noun meaning "result/to bring about".)
Thanks for the grammar clarification on affect and effect. I find it is often mixed up for people.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's the season for foul moods? I'm in one too. Perhaps we can be in a foul mood together. :)
I definitely thought it should have been effect... but maybe I am wrong.. seeing as you googled it :p Hope you feel better soon my friend! :)
