Stephen Notley of Bob the Angry Flower fame is my favourite cartoonist when it comes to expressing emotions, particularly negative ones. The above strip exactly expresses how I felt today. Admittedly, I did not wake up with a bug body, nor did anything annoying or bad happen today, but I just felt like exuding irritation. For example, in my yoga class, during the final relaxation I was really ticked about the people on the upper floor constantly moving furniture around and disturbing my thoughts. It later turned out that the ‘noise’ was part of the background music and was simulating the beat of the heart.

Agitate, agitate, agitate.
