Do you remember from yesterday how Grump left Miss Lily's impromptu dinner party early, so that he could get a lot of sleep last night? Well .......
It so happened that little Dodong was EXTREMELY wound-up last night, and fussed and bounced about in bed until Sweetie and Grump, (reluctantly in Grump's case!), got up out of bed and went into the living room with him, to play with him for a while. After an hour or so Sweetie and Grump tried to climb in bed again, hoping that the little guy was sleepy now. Ha! Dodong stayed awake until 11:30 pm!
Now through all this racket Kuya was somehow able to sleep, so by the time 3:30 am rolled around he was well rested enough to wake up, AND wake up Old Grump too!
Ugh!
So once Grump's alarm finally went off at some obscenely early hour, Grump was not at his finest.
This is how it looks in the dark pre-dawn hours, when Grump leaves for work:

But I suppose he shouldn't complain too much, because while back home Sweetie continues to struggle with the two boys, he lives a life of idle pleasure in Columbus, feet propped up while he cruises the internet.

Actually, it's not all fun-and-games for Grump in Columbus, as the company he works for is currently going through a round of layoffs. (YIKES!!) Just today someone who works for the same manager he does, (but on a different team), was let go.
Layoffs are stressful for everyone, and companies should only do them as a last resort. Then again, Grump's current job reminds him more of a government contract than a "real" job, in that none of us really have a lot to do, and the day-to-day work certainly isn't very difficult, but you never know when at a moment's notice you could be let go.
Uncertainty is just part of life, I guess.
Peace y'all!
