NOT SURE HOW TO EXPRESS SENTENCES RIGHT WORD?
Could you please rewrite these sentences so they are natural. I'm not sure I've used the right words?
1 Since I thought I wasn't working tonight when I got home this morning, I was in a much better state of mind/mindset than if I had known I was going to work.
2 I lost a lot of cleavage. It all gone to my stomach. (used to have cleavage now have a big stomach) Can you say this?
3 The mouth/throat of the stapler is to small to be able to fit you hand in it, making it hard to injury oneself.
Thank you

1. Use "state of mind" or "mood."
2. Doesn't make any sense to me. "Cleavage" cannot "go" to one's stomach. Maybe you're trying to say something like "I used to have a big bust. Now I have a big stomach."
3. You want "injure yourself," not "injury yourself." But "mouth/throat" of a stapler doesn't work. Try something like "It would be hard to injure yourself with this stapler

To me, "mindset" is more of a permanent inclination, and "state of mind" or "frame of mind" indicate more temporary states, but this is not an absolute distinction. In most circumstances, I'd say you could use them interchangeably. Don't use "mindstate" -- it's not a word.
