be less crabby

When I take one of my weekend days and set it aside for just fun and not homework, I find that I have a much better mood. It also helps me be more productive when I get back to work. This might help me be less crabby, too.

My husband seems to think that my being crabby has to do with a lack of working out. I think he might be on to something. But there’s more to it. I think it also has to do with the amount of time I am stuck inside writing papers, the amount of time I’m alone, and the food I eat. In order to test any of these hypotheses, I would need to change one of the variables. Summer is coming up, so I could probably spend more time outside. I could also try to go to the gym as much as I say I will. I’ll try those two things and see how they affect my mood…

Escaping the stress of school work by taking a vacation to Whidbey Island helped me to be less crabby this weekend. The red wine and chocolate and other tantalizing treats probably didn’t hurt, either!

I’ve got to figure out how to decrease my crabbiness. This is the single biggest problem in my relationship with my husband right now. It turns both of us off.
