This is my post for #freewriters Thursday prompt happy hour hosted by @mariannewest

I do not know what is wrong with me, today and yesterday I have been in a bad mood. I have spells where I feel like crying and have to really fight to hold the tears back. My husband is now saying how we can't fish together because of my mood. I remind him of the days when he is in a bad mood but he gets defensive with me so I just shut down.

Saturday is my Mothers funeral, I am hoping it is that that is causing my sadness. Also today I never caught a fish, my husband caught 10. I have not caught much all week, I know it is because of the wind. When it is calm we can anchor so both of us can fish the shallow water but when the wind is blowing we can not anchor sideways and the bow, where I sit, is always facing the deeper water where the catfish and pickers are at.

The picture is of the beginning of our first cold front. It is not going to be cold behind it but it will rain and lightning could come from it. So we could only fish until 10 am. We got the boat pulled out just in time. It went to pouring rain, it rained so hard that I do not know how my husband could see to drive. I pull over when I get in that kind of situation but he kept driving.

Between my mood, my Mom, the rain and not catching anything I was ready to go to Earls for happy hour. Come to think of it, I am sure my husband has some hard seltzer, I am going to get my big glass and have a drink. I can not drink much because of the medication I am on, but one won't hurt.

The 10 pompano that my husband caught weighed 21 pounds which is still a good day's pay.

Thank you, I know I need a good cry but, I expect I will do enough of it this weekend.

Funerals, especially of parents come loaded with mixed feelings. Can't blame you for your moodiness. This, too, shall pass, though (with or without a beer 😌).
Hope things get better soon, especially fishing

This too shall pass is my go-to saying, thank you for reminding me.

I'm so sorry to learn your mother passed away. No matter how old we are, or how old they are, it is never easy. My dad lived to be 99 years old, and it was still sad when he finally died. Emotions are strange things sometimes. I'm sure you'll feel like yourself again one of these days. Hang in there!

Thank you, it is hard even though I think it is the best for her, she had a stroke last year and was bedridden and could not speak.
