This is an echidna. It’s an egg-laying mammal (called a monotreme). It looks like it’s also feeling ergh. Taken by fir0002 | flagstaffotos.com.au Canon 20D + Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 L (Own work) [GFDL 1.2 (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/fdl-1.2.html)%5D, via Wikimedia Commons
Valid point.
And yet don’t we all feel a little ergh now and then? Or mostly now? Anyone else? No? Just me?
The ergh, as I see it, is that mounting, aimless frustration at many things in many directions. I believe one of the scientific names for it is a Case of the Grumps, but I don’t want to get too technical.
I’m definitely ergh today, and I couldn’t even tell you why. It’s bright and sunny, though still cold, we’re in the midst of my favorite blogging challenge of the year (though one could say it’s pretty much my only blogging challenge of the year. I should fix that. Ergh). I had a great breakfast and my coffee is settling in.
And yet ergh.
I even did yoga this morning, and yet my chakras remain stubbornly misaligned. Well, probably not that, but you get the idea.
Maybe I can channel all of this toward a character and make her life miserable.
Ah.

I have those days too! The first half of yesterday was like that for me until I got my thinking in order.

Misaligned chakras? Sounds … erm … discombobulating. I wish you rapid re-alignment 🙂

OOoooorrr…you could do evening yoga! That’s always nice too, and usually not too strenuous 😉
Whichever works. With all the visits, time seems to speed up.

Yeah I feel ergh and sometimes even ehhh.
Now I get why you said that Eerie is a better word.
But ergh captures my feelings appropriately most of the time!

“I even did yoga this morning, and yet my chakras remain stubbornly misaligned.” LOL It only gets worse the older you get. You gotta switch to Tai Chi at some point! 😉 Cute little critter, by the way!
