I like people, I just hate being around them.
It’s morning. I hate mornings, not because of morning, but because it means I have to get up and go downstairs and start my day amidst people. Living with other people is good for me because we can all share responsibilities, but I just wish I could magically live alone for the first half of the day, and then the housemates could file in later.
It’s not personal. I like ‘em all, or they wouldn’t be housemates.
This morning was different, because we have a houseguest, and another friend was here. Two extra people for me to work to ignore while making coffee. Strong coffee.
While I was travelling, I always ate a big breakfast. That was my routine, no matter where I was. Now that I’ve returned, I’m back in the habit of making coffee and existing off that for the first 4-5 hours of my day, then getting some lunch. I do that because it minimizes time in the kitchen. My mood was better while travelling. My body hates me right now, and wishes it could be fed.
I could walk down the street to the cafe, but I’ll end up paying $10 for a two-egg breakfast, and the staff always tries to engage you in a conversation. I don’t mind being engaged in conversation, after I have blood sugar, at least.
Grouchy old phart in the morning, that’s me. The housemates know to steer clear.

Ladies and gentlemen….please give it up for Happy McSunshine.
yeah i’m pretty much the same way. don’t like to talk to anyone in the morning at all. i’m sure the people that ride the bus with me in the morning think of me as that grumpy mute girl. =OP
I refuse to accept any meeting notices at work for meetings that start before 11am. No way, no how.
And I make sure I have at least three cups of joe in my belly BEFORE I go.
I’m glad you and your roommates have such good understandings, though. It HELPS.
Never have children.
I had to give up my morning grumpiness … my son wakes up happy, and if I grump he is horrid for the rest of the day.
It was hard.
I’m cranky in the morning when I wake up too late to get breakfast and I have to rush to work.
Never forget: Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
Alas…my comment is already taken by Deevaa…I repeat the comment…”Never Have Children” I too was born a morning Grump…I married Big Ben (oooolife plays funny tricks) and received a child (my precious daughter) with my grumps and enuf for 20 more…I have to be pleasant since as I got older I also contracted grumps and lack of morning energy soooo I don’t have energy to be grumpy…I smile and am quiet and ALWAYS no the time…..Sassy
