I'm sorry if I've used 'dear' to you in the past. I may have done - I do use it, but only to people who really *are* dear to me, and you're certainly that.

Boo to your bad mood. I'd vote for kicking things that won't break, and shouting very loudly at something that won't mind. I don't like being in a bad mood, in case I end up saying something that will hurt someone, or breaking something that I'll be sorry about later. Whatever you opt for, I hope the mood goes away soon.
