Double check your verb prefix here: {nI-} means "they - you", so
{nIchov'a'} would mean "Will they evaluate you?"

In the sentence {Sajmey chun vIjach}, the prefix {vI-} means that you are
"screaming innocent pets". However, you are really screaming *because of*
them. So you would want to change the verb prefix to {jI-} ("I - no
object"), and add a noun suffix such as {-mo'} onto "innocent pets".
Since the verb {chun} is acting like an adjective here, a type-5 noun suffix
such as {-mo'} goes after {chun}. Check section 4.4 of TKD (on page 50) to
see the explanation of how this works.

Remember that when we use a pronoun, such as {'oH}, to mean "is", we put the
suffix {-'e'} onto the noun.
For example, {nuqDaq 'oH puchpa''e'?} "Where is the bathroom?"
Also, don't forget the {'} at the end of {jay'}.
Here's what I intended:
I am p'an.
Will you evaluate these sentances?
I wake up slowly.
I need to drink coffee to wake up completely.
Before I drink coffee, I have a headache.
I am irritable and yell at innocent pets.
After I drink coffee I am able to enjoy the morning.
My pets do not annoy ne and the morning is beautiful.
Then I need to return to work.
Where's the *(&%^ coffee!
