Day 100 - The end

So it’s the last day of grumpy and it seems that the gods of grumpy have colluded to give me a hundred and ten choices to write about on this last day. It’s only 8.24 but already all of my favourite bugbears, if that is not a contradiction in terms, have appeared making this grumpy spoilt for choice.

I could write about dogs, or more specifically dog owners; no it is not okay to let your dog sniff other passengers on the tram and yes I know you think your dog is different and friendly but I see all dogs as inherently evil, sorry.
Or I could write about train passengers who on a crowded train take up more seats than necessary. There are different places for bags and for bums, please don’t put bags where bums should be you selfish bastards.

I could write about pictures of babies on facebook, I wish you could filter out pictures of babies or I wish parents would put those pics on a blog and then point people in that direction. I know you think your baby is cute and friendly but I see all babies as inherently evil, sorry
I am sure on any other day the heavy breather next to me would get a mention. This guy makes the elephant man sound normal. I am scared to make a phone call in case people hear the guy next to me down the line and think I am some kind of pervert.

Smelly trams, dying apple batteries, using my phone too much, early morning alarm calls, all could get a revisit. But no, today it is this blog, or its demise that is making me grumpy. 

100 days is a long time. Today is November 5^th, this blog started on July 29^th. For 100 days this blog has been a large part of my life, it will be tough to let it go. One would think finding a grumpy thing per day would be negative but it has been strangely cathartic. Being able to vent, to share, to rant, while trying to put at least a slightly amusing spin on the thing that is depressing me has actually made life bearable. A negative thing has become an opportunity, a reason to write. So although at times the need to do this daily has been a burden, although arguably my short story blog has suffered, I’ll miss this little side project because strangely it has made me happy.
But on the bright side I guess Steve and Johnny will be back on the blog after a  near 100-day break.
