I am so ready for it to be Friday.

My sweetie spent most of the week in the hospital (went in Saturday night and got out yesterday), but there was so much going on at work that I wasn't able to take any time off. It's been pretty stressful. Fortunately, in 27 hours, my week will be over.

Mood? Hmmm....pessimistically(spelling?) optimistic

Yeah, wouldn't it?

Thank you

Indifferent.

Optimistic...anticipating tomorrow so I can get a much needed drink.

I was in a good mood until a coworker told me I was gaining weight and that I shouldn't eat a muffin. Then she told me I should "eat an egg and maybe hit the gym later."

I hope you told her to kiss your ass!!!

I always suspected that being cheerful made you stupid...

In a bad mood? Don't worry - according to research, it's good for you.

An Australian psychology expert who has been studying emotions has found being grumpy makes us think more clearly.

In contrast to those annoying happy types, miserable people are better at decision-making and less gullible, his experiments showed.

While cheerfulness fosters creativity, gloominess breeds attentiveness and careful thinking, Professor Joe Forgas told Australian Science Magazine.

Good.

Feeling grumpy 'is good for you'

In contrast to those annoying happy types, miserable people are better at decision-making and less gullible, his experiments showed.

While cheerfulness fosters creativity, gloominess breeds attentiveness and careful thinking, Professor Joe Forgas told Australian Science Magazine.

The University of New South Wales researcher says a grumpy person can cope with more demanding situations than a happy one because of the way the brain "promotes information processing strategies".

He asked volunteers to watch different films and dwell on positive or negative events in their life, designed to put them in either a good or bad mood.

Next he asked them to take part in a series of tasks, including judging the truth of urban myths and providing eyewitness accounts of events.

Those in a bad mood outperformed those who were jolly - they made fewer mistakes and were better communicators.

Professor Forgas said: "Whereas positive mood seems to promote creativity, flexibility, co-operation and reliance on mental shortcuts, negative moods trigger more attentive, careful thinking, paying greater attention to the external world."

The study also found that sad people were better at stating their case through written arguments, which Forgas said showed that a "mildly negative mood may actually promote a more concrete, accommodative and ultimately more successful communication style".

His earlier work shows the weather has a similar impact on us - wet, dreary days sharpened memory, while bright sunny spells make people forgetful.

This article makes sense....bright sunny warm days do make me lazy Because I look forward to having lunch outside and then after lunch, I'm looking forward to getting off so that I can enjoy the sunshine and the nice warm weather.

Subdued.

Very good. Very happy.

I would have told her to mind her own damn business. Obviously she is jealous of you for some reason.

Women!

I am going to print this, laminate it, and hand it to anyone at work who tells me I need to be nicer and more cheerful. I'm doing my job, dammit!

I'm in a good mood most any day. I have tiny stress moments when it's the day of the show, and usually after a show, I'm mentally spent for the night. I get tunnel vision when I'm doing something, and once it's over, I feel DONE inside. But even through that, I'm happy because I'm doing what I love to do. I'm pretty good with stress in general, and don't let things get to me. It's all small stuff, and I don't sweat the small stuff, as they say. It's kind of like "choosing your battles". I just choose not to battle that much.

Mixed up and unfocused.
